The assistance legislation, approved on a voice vote and sent to the Senate, is aimed primarily at winter wheat growers in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska and other states, where dry weather is expected to reduce this summer’s har vests sharply. It also would provide payments to livestock producers facing drought-related feed and water shortages for their herds, and makes farmers eli gible for assistance if they have losses later this year in hundreds of other crops because of flood ing, freezing, hail, high winds or similar severe weather. “We have probably had the worst drought lo calized in one region of the country that any place has had since the Great Depression,” said Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., chairman of a House Agriculture subcommittee. “It is impor tant to recognize there is a tremendous human tragedy occurring out there in the heartland. That is what we are trying to deal with.” Portions of the Great Plains and western Corn Belt have not recovered from the parching drought of 1988, despite recent rains in some areas. Lingering dry conditions early this year particularly hurt producers in winter wheat growing states, which range from Washington to “I It is important to recognize there is a tremendous human tragedy occurring out there in the heartland.” In general, the legislation will extend assi tance to 1989 crops similar to drought reliefpi grams enacted last year for farmers devastate by dry weather in much of the Midwest However, Agriculture Secretary Clayton Yei ter said Tuesday that he would recommend veto of the bill because it was too broad ai tentially too expensive.

Nationwide, the winter wheat crop is projected to be the smallest since 1978. In Kansas, tradi tionally the nation’s leading wheat producer, forecasters say this year’s harvest will be more than a third lower than last year. Hard red winter wheat, the main bread-mak ing wheat, is planted in the fall and harvested in late spring and early summer. dies, mostly lower wheat payments because higher market prices from harvests. Yeutter, in a letter sent to the House, saidfe would recommend that President Bush drought relief hill only if it was targeted to“11 crops affected by drought.” That means winter wheat, said Kelly Shipp, Yeutter. Key provisions of the House relief packaj would make crops eligible for assistance if tli] suffer losses of more than 35 percent weather-related disaster. China sends nine more to trial for rioting in Tiananmen Square BEIJING (AP) — Nine more peo ple were put on trial for rioting dur ing the suppression of China’s de mocracy movement, including one accused of disemboweling a dead soldier, official media reported Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, officials investi gated a train explosion that killed 24 people, with state television saying it was caused by dynamite. China’s legislature is scheduled to convene Thursday to endorse the hard line against dissent that began with the army assault June 3-4 on pro-democracy demonstrators in Tiananmen Square, and 13 Ameri cans ordered out of the country pre pared ot leave. U.S. officials said China had asked the United States to delay the start of a Peace Corps program, under which 20 Americans were to teach English in Sichuan province. The ac tion was the latest cultural exchange to be threatened or suspended be cause of the crackdown. News reports said charges against clu Among the nine defendants in the latest trial, which began Monday in Beijing, was Zhang Jianzhong, 26. The Beijing Daily said he took part in the demonstrations since April 17, and when the army moved in, slit open a dead soldier’s stomach with a piece of glass. the seven other defendants included arson, robbery and theft. More than 1,800 people have been arrested for participating in what the government calls “coun terrevolutionary turmoil” during the June 3-4 army attack in Beijing, and 27 have been executed. It said another defendant, Bai Xi- nyu, set fire to two armored person nel carriers and tried to incite other people to riot. It said Bai, 60, had a criminal record covering 30 years and had served two prison terms for murder. The government says 300 people were killed in the assault, most of them soldiers. Diplomatic and intel ligence estimates range up to 3,000 and say nearly all the dead were un armed civilians. Investigators examined the wreckage of a train blown off the tracks by an explosion Monday night on its way from Hangzhou to the eastern coastal city of Shanghai. Soviet Legislature forces premier to withdraw 7 Cabinet nominations MOSCOW (AP) — Premier Nikolai I. Ryzhkov bowed to pressure Tuesday from the new legislature and withdrew seven of his Cabinet nominations, the first time elected Soviet representatives have forced such officials from taking office. Six nominees were rejected in first-ever confirmation hearings last week before committees of the new 542- member Supreme Soviet, formerly a rubber-stamp body. At least one other person was rejected during committee work. The premier could have taken the fight for his first choices to the full Supreme Soviet this week, but he said in a speech to the lawmakers that he would submit new candidates. The Tass news agency said the Supreme Soviet later confirmed 60 nominees for work in government min istries and committees. This Supreme Soviet is the country’s first full-time representative legislature. It is a branch of the larger Congress of People’s Deputies, which was chosen this spring in the first national multicandidate Soviet elec tions in seven decades. The six rejected after two to three hours of question ing by committees were: Culture Minister Vasily G. Zakharov, Gennady P. Bogomyakov, the nominee for minister of the oil and gas industry; Polad A. Polad- Zade, for minister of land reclamation and water man agement, a controversial department for its much-op- posed dams and canals; Marat V. Gramov, for head of the sports committee; Lira I. Rozenova, for the price committee; and Vladimir G. Gribov for the head of the State Bank. Ryzhkov also said the nominations of a first deputy premier and head of a new Commission on Food and Purchases had been withdrawn during other committee work.

Thornburgh received a generally polite but cool reception from the audience of about 200. However, the crowd cheered for Creiter when she appealed to the ad ministration to show as much rever ence for civil rights as the flag. The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who founded PUSH, told reporters that the flag and religious symbols should not be desecrated. However, Jackson said, “the substance they stand for should be higher.” Jackson, who declined tocrititf Thornburgh, called for an effort persuade Congress to enact kf WASHING" lation that would set aside the rtf j speech advoca decisions, which civil rights bf * to a proposal b Wednesday a regard as a severe setback.
