...comprehensive program, which of course it would be unfair to expect of Ford in his first week. The proposal for an economic summit, in particular, seemed designed to convey an impression of action, openness to ideas and determination to unite the nation against inflation rather than to yield any specific results. Even Administration officials do not expect the summit to turn up any thoughts that have not already been aired...
...Senate voted down, 53 to 35, a proposal to have the Navy, which has ordered 374 Tomcats, lend Grumman $100 million. Grumman had claimed that it needed the money immediately to meet its payrolls. But Senators angrily noted that Grumman had reinvested an earlier Navy loan in high-yield, short-term securities and made a net profit of nearly $3 million. Some Senators also were annoyed that Grumman had paid dividends of 15? a share to stockholders in the last two quarters; Grumman last week postponed until next month action on another dividend, but conceded that it has the money...

Farmers in Oklahoma are getting only three cuttings of hay instead of five, and the spring-wheat yield in North Dakota is expected to be sharply reduced. The Governors of Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota have declared their states disaster areas. At the Midwest Governors Conference last week in Minneapolis, a resolution was adopted urging the Administration to expand farm disaster relief and increase crop price-support programs, which only last year were reduced in order to boost production...
