FBI Report Supplied WASHINGTON UP) — Atty. Gen. Elliot L. Richardson Tues day agreed to supply an FBI wiretap report to senior senators in a move that could smooth the confirmation of Henry A. Kis singer as secretary of State. Sens. Clifford P. Case, R-N.J., and John Sparkman, D-Ala., of the Foreign Relations Committee were set to meet at the Capitol with Richardson and his acting deputy, William D. Ruckelshaus. "As the temper seems now I don't think there will be an im passe,” Case said. Meanwhile, committee chair man J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., said the committee would vote Tues day on Kissinger’s nomination to succeed William P. Rogers. Case last week proposed that no action be taken until the FBI submitted summaries of the wire- tapes reportedly made between 1969 and 1971 with Kissinger’s acquiesence. Thirteen Nixon ad ministration officials, including members of the National Security Council staff, and four newsmen were the targets of the wiretaps. Kissinger defended the “bug ging” as a painful but necessary step to plug leaking to the press of sensitive material. He de clined to furnish details. In his third day as a witness, Kissinger assured the committee that he did not participate in a plot by White House “plumbers” to connect the late President John F. Kennedy to the 1963 assassination of South Vietnam President Ngo Dinh Diem. “It is a very dangerous busi ness for one administration to begin investigating its predeces sor,” he said. Fulbright announced after the 3 ^-hour session that the hear ings will resume Friday with testimony from public witnesses. The chairman said Kissinger would be quizzed again Monday in secret. Record Corn Crop Foreseen WASHINGTON <A»> — The na tion’s corn crop, a key to consum er food supplies in 1974, will be a record 6.768 billion bushels this year, up 4 per cent from last year and 2 per cent more than forecast in August, the Agricul ture Department said Tuesday. Other major grain and oilseed crops, sorely needed to replenish dwindling reserves and stimulate livestock production, also are set ting harvest records. But foreign buyers, also want ing grain and other commodities, continue to bid up prices and keep supplies tight for American con sumers. Wheat production this year, for example, will be a record 1.727 billion bushels, up 12 per cent from last year, the department’s Crop Reporting Board said. That was up 1 per cent from indica tions in August. Exporters, meanwhile, say they have shipped or booked for de livery more than 1.3 billion bush els of wheat to foreign buyers through mid-1974, about the time next year’s harvest is ready. Thus, with wheat exports tak ing more than three-fourths of this year’s crop, prices for the bread grain are likely to remain relatively high through at least the first half of 1974. Similar demands are being put on corn, other feed grains and soybeans. Coupled with domestic needs of about 4.6 billion bushels, the listed exports point to a total require ment of around 5.8 billion bushels during the corn marketing year which begins Oct. 1. In effect, the report of new crop records means little by it self. Most important will be how actual exports shape up and how much of the vital commodities will remain to feed U.S. cattle, hogs and chickens next winter and through much of 1974.

Board Ordered Rearranged by Judge FORT WORTH <A») _ A fed eral judge ordered rearrangement of the board of the Coastal States Gas Corp. Tuesday after the Se curities and Exchange Commis sion accused the company of fraud which led to gas shortages in 410 Texas cities. Coastal States did not contest the complaint filed by the SEC. U.S. District Court Judge Carl Bue of Houston ordered the com pany to “stack” its board of di rectors with a majority of mem bers satisfactory to the court and the SEC. Also named in the complaint were two Coastal States subsidi aries, the Coastal States Gas Pro ducing Co. and the Lo-Vaca Gath ering Co., and board chairman Oscar S. Wyatt Jr. SEC regional administrator Robert Watson of Fort Worth said the complaint was based on an investigation begun June 1 concerning gas and oil dealings and energy shortages. The probe of Coastal States and other firms will continue, Watson said. He said the once stable but lately troubled firm “happens to be high on the list because of the severity of its problems.” San Antonio and Austin were among Coastal States customers that experienced power shortages last year.
