...suspect turned out to be an Air Force technical sergeant who had compiled a flawless record during 18 years in the military. Three years ago, he had asked for an assignment in the Office of Special Investigations and was sent to Travis Air Force Base near San Francisco. His superiors thought highly of his work.

The increase in wheat prices since the spring of 1972 has added 1? or 2? to the retail price of a 1-lb. loaf of white bread. Other wheat-based products have gone up still more...
