Abo lishing this program would allow anyone to grow and market peanuts. By a 56-43 vote, the senate re jected a motion to kill an amend ment offered by freshman Sen. Mack Mattingly, R-Ga., that would suspend the acreage allot ments, which he said are held now mostly by “timber companies, railroads and corporations.” Senate Republican leader Ho ward Baker, who moved to table the Mattingly amendment, im mediately put off a vote on the amendment itself until later in the day. The test vote was a setback for conservative Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.C., the Senate Agriculture Committee chairman who led a group of senators arguing the pre sent program costs the federal government “not one thin dime.” Amendments to scuttle the acreage-allotment system — in which 59,000 persons and corpor ations now control all of the acreage on which peanuts are grown — were made by Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and Mat tingly. Lugar, saying he wanted to put peanuts in the free market, prop osed abolishing both the acreage- allotment system and the national productions quotas. Mattingly proposed abolishing the acreage- allotment system but setting a na tional production quota of 1.1 mil lion tons. Under each of their motions, anyone who wanted to could grow peanuts. “If we’re going to abolish a prog ram that costs nothing. I’m going to be seriously tempted to say perhaps all the other farm prog rams ought to have nothing,” Helms said. Sen. Paul Tsongas, D-Mass., arguing for the Lugar motion, chided the conservatives for opposing the free market for peanuts and said anyone with “Ronald Reagan purity” ought to support it. White House spokesman David Gergen said Tuesday Reagan will veto the farm bill if it is a "budget buster.” He said the president told Republican congressional leaders “if budget-busting bills” come to the White House, “I will veto them. I want to make tin! plain.” Gergan said, however, Reagaa stressed he will stand by commit ments made earlier this year to sugar and peanut subsidies. “The problem is money-not that we don ’t like dairy producers We all like milk and ice cream,’ Sen. Robert). Dole, R-Kan.,sail Tuesday in offering the motion to table two attempts at a highersuk sidy.

Endrin in high concentrations has been fatal to humans, and it causes damage to the central ner vous system and brain. In low con centrations, it has caused birth de fects in guinea pigs. Lonnie Schroeder, wildlife biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said Tuesday fish and game officials in both the cen tral and Pacific migratory flyways were awaiting the results of tests to determine the extent of the poisoning.

Schroeder said endrin was sprayed more than 125,000 acres of winter wheat near Miles City, Mont., that had been infested by army cutworms. When large numbers of fish be gan to die, officials believed the insecticide had contaminated wildlife. “The Environmental Protection Agency says it is safe to eat domes tic birds with up to three parts per million of endrin,” said Schroed er. “There are some species of ducks and geese that have been found to exceed this, in some cases considerably.” The levels in some of the ducks were so high that a single serving to a 60-pound child could cause poison symptoms which include nausea, headache and convul sions, said Lou Johnson, regional toxicology program chief for the Environmental Protection Agency. Al Reganthal, chief waterfowl biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, said his office would wait for the results of the Montana study before acting. Reganthal said, “If high levels are found in some birds, w'dkt to think pretty seriously about closing the season.” JV Montana ducks normally mi grate down the central flyway through Texas. But Schroeder said tests are under way to discov er if similar contamination has occurred west of the Continental Divide in Montana. In this case, they would be in the Pacific flyway.

Hawley of Van derbilt University in Nashville, Tenn. “Despite all the resistance generally positive results are found.” Hawley said success occurred where integration began earliest — in grade. kindergarten or the first However, he said desegre gation was "clearly not as success ful as advocates had hoped.” The 16-member study team was financed by the Office of Civil Rights and National Institute of Education. Researchers analyzed 1,000 studies on school desegrega tion, reviewed court cases and in terviewed 170 educational experts to determine the result of integra tion strategies in 16 school dis tricts. That portion of the seven- year study cost $250,000 and took two years, Hawley said at a news IL We’re tooting our own horn . . . • HM ID Battalion Classifieds Call 845-2611 Use our vault to hold your valuables. conference. Hawley said there was no eii dence to suggest desegregafc had a harmful impact on theeth cational levels achieved by whili children. Desegregation "usually create |j greater equality of educate opportunity and often encourage school systems to change to mee responsibilities to all students, he said. The researcher also said then was evidence to suggest schoolde segregation can promote housin' desegregation. “When a school district is de segregated there is no pressurefc whites with young children b move out of a racially mixed neigl borhood since the school admins tration has guaranteed racial sla bility, ’ the study said. The report favored busing botl black and white children, whidi would help housing desegrega tion. The study concluded voluntan desegregation was not effective in reducing racial isolation except in areas with small numbers ol minority students. The study* “mandatory reassignment plans were effective in reducing “racial isolation even though they result in greater white flight.’’ Hawley concluded school sys tems must adopt a “comprehen sive” approach to desegregation to be successful. , He mentioned closer coopera tion among students, teachersanl parents and a traditional value-- discipline — as elements that con tribute to successful desegrega tion. u WAS j tion’s in ! ped by < biggest cession backs in Federal Wedne: The i first dn | 1979, vs otherwi Ai ur Ui TAM] Aviation Wednes [Sept. 6 America ■en rout Miami v ternatioi moment The j Reserve a safe deposit box —before they’re gone.
