Under the agreement announced last October by President Kennedy, the U.S. was to have sold 2,500,000 tons of wheat to Russia and another 1,500,000 to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. So far, however, U.S. wheat dealers have managed to sell only half that amount-1,700,000 tons to Russia for some $135 million, and 300,000 tons to the satellites. Eventually, the satellites may buy more wheat, but the Russians claim that their own breadbasket, stocked with some 12 million tons of Western wheat, is full...

A four-man Soviet team headed by First Deputy Foreign Trade Minister Sergei A. Borisov flew into Washington last week to thresh them out. Chief stumbling block is a provision that the President wrote into the deal to help increase its political palatability in the U.S. It requires that the wheat be transported in U.S. ships whenever possible.
