Board of Trade hears farmers' complaints
By United Press International
University Daily Kansan, September 28, 1984 Page 13
CHICAGO - More than 200 angry farmers converged on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday to protest low prices they say are driving them out of business.
Although most were members of the American Agriculture Movement, which sanctioned the protest, the delegation represented various farm organizations.
Corky Jones of Brownville, Neb., a vice president of the AAM and one of a select few who met with Mr. Obama, felt the meeting was a success.
The group left for home at about noon.
"They gave us a cordial reception, listened to our grievances and invited us back Oct. 30 to meet with the New York Advisory Board," Jones said.
AMONG THE PROTESTERS was Wayne Cryts, the Puxico, Mo., farmer who gained folk hero status when he led hundreds of farmers in a raid on a bankrupt grain elevator more than three years ago to protest bankruptcy laws
that tied up their grain during litigation.
Cryts charged that the people who set the prices have no regard for the farmer's cost of production or the need for a return.
CBOT Chairman Thomas P. Cunningham said he believed the group was misinformed about the function of the CBOT.
"We will ask for a halt to speculative short-selling so farmers have a fair market or to establish a floor under prices at a level where farmers have an incentive to make a profit." Crys said.
"THE SIMPLE ECONOMIC rules of supply and demand dictate what the commodity prices will be." Cunningham said. "The prices discovered at the Chicago Board of Trade are a result of both domestic and international demand for grain products."
made for grain products. The futures market holds no charm for farmers, Cryts said.
"Statistics show that 85 percent of the people that play that market lose, and when you look at the statistics there is no way that they make that market, and profit by it over a long period of time," he said.

WASHINGTON — The Senate yesterday approved and sent to the White House a comprise $297 billion defense authorization bill for the fiscal year beginning Monday.

Senate OKs $297 billion military bill
The House and Senate appropriations committees on Wednesday sent to the floor companion military appropriations bills - measures providing the defense agency with money for its programs. The military appropriations bill authorizes the authorization bills both required to cover the military budget.
Although the totals on the appropriations bills differ, it is expected that when they get to conference committee — as part of a larger yearlong spending bill for several agencies — they will conform to the leadership agreement of $292.9 billion in defense appropriations.
An anticipated dispute about the procedure for conducting two votes next spring on the MX missile evaporated Wednesday morning when Republicans inserted language in the Senate defense appropriations measure ensuring the missile must

There is no such provision in the Senate bill, and the House included in its version language barring the introduction of U.S. combat troops into El Salvador or Nicaragua, a provision not in the Senate bill.

The defense agreement was worked out last week between Senate Republican leader Howard Baker of Tennessee and House Speaker Thomas O'Neill, D-Mass. It set the overall authorization figure at $297 billion, the appropriations figure at $292.9 billion and provided for two votes on the 10-warhead MX in the spring.

Rep. William Dickinson, R-Ala., ranking Republican on the Army Armed Services Committee, said the White House was "terribly shortsighted and ill-informed" in turning down a better deal offered early in the talks.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. — Two men pleaded not guilty yesterday to taking nearly $40,000 from eight automatic teller machines that apparently malfunctioned and began "spitting out the money," officials said.
The men allegedly used one of their bank cards to make 55 withdrawals of at least $200 each from the
machines in Springfield on Sunday and Monday, police said.
Each of the men, who were trying to buy airline tickets to Hawaii, was allegedly carrying $15,000 in cash, police said.
Steven Porter, 22, and Steven Jefferson, 19, both of Springfield, were charged with larceny over $100 and held on $50,000 bail pending Oct. 5 lawyers' conferences.
"The machines kept spitting out the money," said police detective Capt. Ernest M. Steeler. "There was no clever scheme here. There was a malfunction of either the card or the system involving the card."
