In response to questions
raised by farmers regarding
stored excess" wheat and 9TH
er wheat program provisions,
Fred Iversen, chairman of the
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation County commit
tee, today gave the following
brief explanations:
/. Since marketing quotas
will not be in effect for the
1864 wheat crop, wheat that
was grown in excess of mar
keting quotas in 1868 or pre-
vious years will be subject
to the original penalty pro-
visions until July l, 1864. At
ter that date, stored excess
wheat may be released with
out penalty and with no loss
of acreage history on the farm
where the wheat was produced
2. If the 1868 wheat cror
from a farm is small enough
because of under-planting OF
underproduction arrange
ments may be made for the
early release of part or all o.
the farms stored excess whea
from previous crops withou
payment of penalty and witt
no loss of wheat acreage his
tory.
3. Loss of wheat acreag
history results where a mar
keting quota penalty is pait

ducer pays the penalty o.

1t wasn't until the truck was
about two miles out of town
when Sheriff Cornelia returned
fire. Here is where Deputy
Harold Grinolds joined the
chase in his car.
The two youths used the
left side of the highway try
ing to force oncoming traffic
off the road. Cornelia said
they told him they were try
ing to wreck an approaching
car SO that officers would have
to step for the accident.
Dial fired another shot at
Cornelia near the jet fuel
tanks and this one punctured
the left front tire. The sheriff
pulled off on an approach and
got into Grinolds car and the
chase continued south where
about 10 more shots were fired
by Cornelia.
When they were finally in
custody, the youths said the
.38 shells sounded like gravel
hitting the truck.
Just south of Crane the
truck sideswiped another
truck heading in the op-
posite direction. And the
chase continued south

Red Book Tells
Of u. S. Strategy

A published report that a
Soviet study of United States
military strength had fallen
into American hands has
brought from the Pentagon the
suggestion that the material
appeared to be a book sold
commercially. Officials said 1t
includes no material considered
secret by the United States.
The Omaha World Herald, In
a dispatch from its Washing
ton office yesterday, described
some of the details in what
they said was a, vast and
comprehensive study of United
States military strength pre-
pared by the Russians" The
newspaper said it contained
supposedly secret information.
In answer to questions, the
Pentagon said it was aware of
no official Russian document
that fitted that description.
But, a spokesman said, it was
possible the reference was to
a 600-page book, which went
on sale in Russia in March
1862, called, Military Strate-
gy." 1t was prepared by a v. D.
Solovsky and was translated re-

Force, the spokesman said.

The Latin delegates are un-

stead Of answering, Mr.. Martin
asked them to come forward
with suggestions of their own.
He indicated that the United

In the meantime a special
OAS committee continues a
rather leisurely investigation
of how to strengthen measures

America. The committee, which

this new Cuban office is with
hammering out some overall
plan for the Cuban exile colony.
This involves not only coordin-
alton of many agencies efforts
to integrate over 100000 exiles
into United States society. The
office must also work out what
roles this currently divided and
often bitter colony can play
toward Castro Cuba.
Late last week Mr.. Cottrell
received the three leaders of
the ransomed exile brigade
here. Their talks are under
stood to have concentrated
more on vocational training
and scholarships for the re-
turned prisoners than on plans
for liberating Cuba.

United States ships from going
to Cuba.
Critics maintain that the
rules have doubtful legality in
international law, and that they
would place an unnecessary
strain on relations with Euro
pean allies whose cargo ships
we're previously chartered by the
Russians for trade with Cuba.
Without citing statistics, they
argue that this non-Commu-
mist shipping to Cuba has been
drastically curtailed since the
missiles crisis.
The best way to strengthen
this boycott, these critics argue,
is through continued consulta-
tions and warnings to western
governments and shippers. Such
a warning was issued last week,
when a State Department
spokesman pointed out that
nations trading with Cuba run
the risk of losing American aid
under the new foreign aid law.
Another aspect of this more
flexible Cuban strategy is the
attempt to get maximum coord-
ination on planning within both
this Government and the hem
isphere.
Last week a new office for
coordination of Cuban affairs
was set up in the State Depart
ment directly under Edwin
Martin, Assistant Secretary of
State for Inter-American At
fairs. Its head is Sterling J,
Cottrell, a Far Eastern and
guerrilla warfare expert who
comes directly from the Wet
Nam Task Force inside the
State Department.
Mr.. Martins team has been
further strengthened by the
return to Washington of Philip
w. Bonsal, last United States
Ambassador in Havana and d
long time expert on Latin Am
erica. Up until two months
ago Mr.. Bonsal was United
States Ambassador in Morocco
The major preoccupation of

weapons at United States in
sistence is one of the key rea-
sons for present re-thinking of
Cuban policy here. The elimin-
alton Of the Soviet rocket
threat, the exposure Of Mos
cows limited commitment to
Mr.. Castro, and the downgrad-
ing of Mr.. Castro's Communist
posture in Latin America have
all won time for more sober
reappraisal.
The other main reason for
reappraisal is the subsequent
ransom Of the 1,100 Cuban
prisoners captured during the
abortive Bay of Pigs invasion
in April, 1861. Advisers freely
admit that President Kennedy's
"nagging conscience" about
these prisoners-whose inva-
sion he sponSored-had pre-
viously hampered going in one
direction or the other.
The first victim of the reap
praisal may be the proposed
restrictions on nom Communist
shipping to Cuba. Work on
them was begun before the
missiles crisis last October, and
they are now on the Presidents
desk awaiting final decision.
May Be Unnecessary
But powerful critics within
the administration are now ar
guing that the proposed rules
are no longer necessary. They
say that Mr.. Kennedy already
has proved to domestic and
foreign critics alike that he can
"get tough" over Cuba.
The proposed restrictions
would close all United States
ports to foreign ships engaged
in trade with Cuba, ban United
States Government cargos to
such ships, and prohibit all
