National
Amendment^ could open market^ to all_
Senate test vote keeps peanut bill alive
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sen
ate, in a test vote, Wednesday
kept alive attempts to end the fed
eral government’s peanut
acreage-allotment program. 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,’

Contaminated fowl threaten duck season
United Press International
SALT LAKE CITY — Seven
teen states in the country’s west
ern half, including Texas, may
have to cancel or curtail this year’s
duck hunting season because
waterfowl in Montana have be
come contaminated with the high
ly toxic insecticide endrin.
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.
Those
tests should be com-

pleted by Sept. 25 — eight days
before duck season is scheduled to
open.
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.

The two flyways cover the states
of Montana, North Dokata, South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla

orado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona,
Nevada, California, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon. The season
opens in both flyways Oct. 3.

“If You Have Tried The Rest — Why Not Try The BEST”
BOB BROWN JO ANN MUZNY PAM HALL

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77840
United Press International
NEW YORK — School deseg
regation has equalized academic
opportunities of blacks and whites
and may even promote integration
of neighborhoods, a federally fi
nanced study says.
“School desegregation seems to
have a positive effect on children, ”
said Dr. Willis D. 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

Desegregation "usually create |j

school systems to change to mee

he said.
The researcher also said then
was evidence to suggest schoolde

“When a school district is de

The report favored busing botl

The study concluded voluntan
desegregation was not effective in
reducing racial isolation except in
areas with small numbers ol

“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

be successful. ,
He mentioned closer coopera

parents and a traditional value--
discipline — as elements that con
tribute to successful desegrega
