Reagan, in fact, has bigger fish to fry. Before his second term expires in 1974, he plans to "hit the mashed potato circuit" and make speeches around the country supporting his plan.

A recent Soviet statistical report showed that grain production fell 30 million tons below expectations in 1972, while the potato crop was down 14.5 million tons.
