...exporting companies. In addition, the report said grain inspectors often failed to notify the Food and Drug Administration of "deleterious substances" in grain destined for human consumption. Among them: poisonous mercury-treated kernels, rodent excreta and insect-damaged kernels. The report further charged that elevator operators were allowed to blend as much as 10% off-grade grain into a cargo bound for a foreign country...
...Philharmonic; Sir Thomas Beecham, conductor; Turnabout/Vox; 5 LPs; $19.95). In his later years, the doughty Sir Thomas sometimes conducted Mozart in a cantankerous, self-indulgent way.

The Provisional Revolutionary Government (P.R.G.) has required the estimated 127 journalists in Saigon, including 27 from Communist nations, to register and pick up credentials. Otherwise it has allowed them and their Vietnamese stringers to roam freely around the city, now unofficially designated as Ho Chi Minn City. Carefully attentive, the P.R.G. has permitted Western reporters, including the eight Americans on hand for United Press International, the Associated Press...
