WASHINGTON — The House
Appropriations Committee Tuesday
approved a $19.4 billion Agriculture
Department budget for the fiscal
year beginning Oct.l, rejecting a
plea for changes made by Agricul
ture Secretary Bob Bergland.
By voice vote, the committee ac
cepted without amendment a bill
approved by the agriculture approp
riations subcommittee, increasing
spending for several Agriculture
Department programs in opposition
to administration wishes and restor
ing research funds the administra
tion sought to cut.
Bergland had appeared in open
hearing before the comparable Se
nate subcommittee and the House
subcommittee, chaired by Rep.
Jamie Whitten, D-Miss., to argue
that the changes hampered his and
President Carter’s attempts to run
the government.
Whitten’s reply was: T think it’s
time the people’e branch got back in
the saddle.”
the bill is $76 million less than the
administration proposal, but the
administration said it was actually a
$19.8 billion budget, inflated by
$400 million by a budgetary device.
“Our protestations had very little
effect,” said James Webster, the Ag
riculture Department’s director of
governmental and public affairs.
The bill calls for a reduction in
personnel in the agriculture secre
tary’s office and an increase in per
sonnel for programs that deal di
rectly with farmers.
The administration had hoped to
contract for agricultural research by
competitive bidding, but the com
mittee restored administration cuts
in Agriculture Department re
search.
The budget includes $6.8 billion
for general agriculture programs, $2
billion for rural development, $7.9
billion for domestic food programs,
including food stamps, and miscel
laneous allocations.
The bill is expected to go to the
full House next week. The Senate
subcommittee has scheduled its de
cisions on the budget next week.
The House subcommittee said
One controversial restored item
was $3.1 million in tobacco produc
tion research.
The committee also included a
provision, spurred by the debate
over vitamin-fortified breakfast bars
given to school children for break
fast, to allow local governments to
decide what to serve for breakfast. It
was a blow to the Agriculture De
partment’s proposed rule to ban the
bars, called “super donuts.”
Whitten, noting that he had diffi
culty telling his children what to
eat, said, “A government official
cannot make them eat what they
don’t want to eat by executive or
der.”
Record tug-of-war gamcj
ends in disaster for studem
United Press International
HARRISBURG, Pa. — A
lighthearted attempt by the Har
risburg Middle School to set a
world tug of war record began
with the drop of a yellow flag.
It ended tragically about three
minutes later with 70 students
injured, four of them with parts
of their fingers sliced off.
For nearly three minutes,
2,200 students and teachers from
the school strained against the
2,000-foot long, 1 Vi-inch,
braided nylon cable.
Then there was a sound like a
rifle shot.
The rope, which was supposed
to be strong enough to withstand
the pull of 13,000 pounds, had
snapped.
Besides the four students who
lost parts of their fingers, another
66 were treated at local hospitals
for burned, blistered hands and
possible fractures. And 150 to
2001 more were treated by school
nurses for hand bums.
Marshall Layton, principal of
the school, said the students and
teachers were trying to set a rec
ord for the largest tug-of-war so
they could get into the Guinness
Book of World Records.
“It sounded like an explosion.
It really popped and everybody
went flying,” said Pete Rekus, a
news photographer who witnes
sed the accident.
“There was some confusion at
first until the kids realized what
happened and looked at their
burned hands. I saw one kid
running with his hand held up in
the air saying, ‘My finger’s gone.
My finger’s gone.’”
The rope, loaned to the school
district by the Pennsylvania
Power & Light Co., had a break
ing strength of 13,000 pounds.
Regina Holmes, 13, who suf
fered severe burns and blisters
on both hands, said the rope
“popped just like a gun going off.
It exploded right in my
BEIR
My hands felt like they wtn P!' 0rlX

and Fiat officials have pledged their
cooperation in a federal safety inves
tigation of suspected fuel line and
steering defects in Ford and Mer
cury cars and possible wheel bear
ing problems in Fiats.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration announced
earlier this week it will study the
vehicles to determine if a safety-
related recall should be ordered.
Spokesmen for the two firms said
Tuesday they hope for a speedy res
olution of the matter.
Included in the investigation are
568,000 1975 and 1976 Ford
Granadas and Mercury Monarchs
the agency suspects could spring
gasoline leaks in a small rubber hose
connecting the fuel line to the
gasoline filter on the carburetor, re
sulting in fire in the engine com
partment.
Also involved are more than 1.2
