THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1980

MOSCOW — The Soviet Union’s
top economic planner made a veiled
announcement of the nation’s second
straight disastrous crop and the
second worst harvest since 1975.
Nikolai Baibakov, chairman of the
Soviet planning agency GOSPLAN,
backed into announcing the 1980
grain harvest by announcing figures
that would put the harvest at 181
million metric tons, only slightly bet
ter than 1979’s crop of 179 million
tons, described as a disaster by most
observers.
“It’s very bad,” said Western agri
cultural experts in Moscow, noting
the harvest figures are important
this year because of the U.S. boy
cott on grain sales to the Soviet
Union.
Baibakov backed into the announ
cement of the figures, telling the
1,500 delegates that grain produc
tion over the Five Year Plan that will
end this year was an average of 12
percent above the previous five year
plan, covering 1971-75.
Taking those figures and compar
ing the harvests of the previous nine
years, the 1980 grain crop would be
181 milUon tons — slightly better
than 1979’s 179 million tons.
The 181 million figure would make
it the second worst grain harvest
since 1975 when only 140 million
tons were reaped and there was mass
distress slaughtering of cattle, pigs
and poultry.
The veiled method of releasing the
the grain figure was also resorted to
in 1975, when a similar announce
ment of a five-year average was made
at the autumn Supreme Soviet. The
release of the actual figure was not
until the following January.
Soviet President Leonid Brezh
nev admitted in a speech Tuesday to
the Plenary session of the Commun
ist Party’s Central Committee that
1980 had been a bad grain year.
He lashed out at Soviet economic
planners and named a leading agri
culture expert, MikailS. Gorbachev,
49, to the ruling Politburo in an effort
to reassure the nation it will be able
to feed itself despite setbacks caused
by the U.S. grain embargo.

Col. Jim Adams, director of the
department, said only 36 percent of
Texas drivers were observing the
legal speed limit of 55 mph in the
year that ended Sept. 30, 1980.
That’s under the federally-mandated
rate of 40 percent.
The result could be a loss of $8
million in federal funds.

AUSTIN — Some Texans are still
committing election fraud and are
depriving others of the right to vote.
Secretary of State George Strake said
today in announcing an election in
spector program for the Nov. 4 elec
tion.
Strake said the election inspectors
are an attempt to “handle election
fraud ‘in house’ through application
of state law and state resources.” He
said the inspectors will assist local
election officials and individual
citizens in assuring “fair and honest
elections.”
However, if state law breaks
down, Strake promised he would not
hesitate to refer election fraud or vot
ing rights violations to federal au
thorities.
The secretary of state, a Republi
can, was the first witness in a day
long “public inquiry on voting irre
gularities” sponsored by 13 civil
rights and public interest organiza
tions.
