...proposal raises several questions that are as yet unanswered: Who will contribute to the reserve? Who will finance the storage and transport of the grain and who will control it? U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, whose views are crucial because no reserve system could function without major U.S. participation, worries that the existence of the surplus stocks could hang over the commercial market and depress the prices paid to farmers for their crops. His fear is based on the Government's experience handling the enormous U.S. grain surpluses during the 1950s and 1960s. American farmers commonly-and often...

Ford promptly called...
...Sergeant "Pepper" Anderson on NBC'S Police Woman (Friday, 10 p.m. E.D.T.), is at least permitted to be just not-so-plain Angie, and any program that allows this attractive, good-humored actress to be her familiar self cannot be all bad. The regular supporting cast, headed by Earl Holliman, is competent, and the action sequences are crisp. There is also some attempt to put the cops in contact with interesting criminals and characterized victims...
