crowned with the signing of a
permanent treaty to mutually
restrict their awesome arsenals
of nuclear weapons.
Unveiling of the 17-page
agreement today coincided with
the end of Brezhnev’s nine-day
visit to the United States.
On what Brezhnev described
as a “wonderful morning,” thev
sat under the shade of a
California pine tree in front of
“La Casa Pacifica” and signed
the communique culminating a
week that elevated American-
Soviet relations to a new
friendly plane.
Then with a red carpet
farewell and a prize fighter’s
salute, the stocky Russian
leader flew to Washington, then
on to Camp David, Md. for an
overnight stay.
Astronauts Praised
Brezhnev will also hold talks
in Paris this week with French
President Georges Pompidou.
Before he took off, however,
Brezhnev pumped the hands of
America’s three Skylab as
tronauts and congratulated
them on their historic 28 days
in space. “You are very, very
brave men,” he told them.
The Communist leader also
said farewell to his new cowboy
friend, Western star Chuck
Connors, and Connors swept
him off his feet with a big bear
hug.
Nixon, showing signs of
weariness, remained in Cali
fornia for an extended stay at
the Western White House.
On the eve of resumption of
the Senate Watergate investiga
tion, which could implicate the
President, Brezhnev made it
clear he was casting his lot
with Nixon.
Saying he was leaving the
United States with “very good
feelings,” Brezhnev referred to
Agnew suggests
controlled press meet
NEW YORK (UPI) - Vice
President Spiro T. Agnew has
suggested that President Nixon
submit to a controlled press
conference in which he would
answer questions from a few
reporters about the Watergate
affair, Time magazine reported
Sunday.
The magazine, quoting from
an interview it held with Agnew
last week, quoted him as
saying, “I think a freewheeling
press conference would be a
mistake. I don’t think the
President can be put in a
position where there’s an
inquisition with people scream
ing and yelling the way they’ve
been known to do.”
However, he suggested a
controlled press conference
with “a couple of people from
the electronic media, a couple
of people from the print
media.... You could screen out
the matters that are highly
improper under the circum
stances and concentrate strictly
on information concerning the
President’s position.”
Agnew again expressed “total
confidence” that Nixon was not
involved in Watergate, Time
said. He said, Nixon has made
a few mistakes in the affair,
“but I think they have been
very minimal.” He suggested
setting up the Committee To
Re-elect the President might
have been one of them.
“In a job as big as the
presidency,” he said, “you
can’t watch everything. You’re
at the mercy of people
Chuck
invited
to Russia
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.
(UPI) — Soviet Leader Leonid
Brezhnev, a Western movie fan,
imitated the two-gun fast draw
for TV star Chuck Connors at a
party. Connors responded with
a gift to the visiting Russian
chief—two long-barrelled Colt
45 revolvers.
Connors showed up with the
souvenirs at Brezhnev’s fare
well Sunday and Brezhnev was
so pleased that he invited the
actor to go to Moscow to make
a Western film.
The Soviet party leader had
entertained Connors with his
Wild West rendition at a gala
given in Brezhnev’s honor at
President Nixon’s Western
White House Saturday. The
party was attended by a
number of Hollywood actors
and actresses.

the nine agreements signed and
said “in six or eight months’
time when the President comes
to Moscow” he was confident
they will be prepared to “sign
new and more important
agreements...”
Before live television came
ras, Brezhnev also said “I trust
that the peaceful policies
pursued by the President and
by the United States govern
ment under him will be
supported by the people.”
In an extraordinary nation
wide 47-minute television broad
cast to the American people,
Brezhnev spoke of the long
years of “poisoned relations”
during the cold war and tossed
bouquets to Nixon.
“It was no easy task indeed
to make a turn from mutual
distrust to detente, normaliza
tion and mutually advantageous
cooperation,” he said. “It took
courage and political foresight,
it took a lot of painstaking
work. We appreciate the fact
that President Nixon and his
administration joined their ef
forts with ours to really put
Soviet-American relations on a
new track.”
Throughout their days toge
ther, both Nixon and Brezhnev
spoke of the warm “personal”
relations that had developed
between them. They attributed
their accomplishments to their
new friendship.

situation where sometimes peo
ple make a misjudgment based
on their analysis and not on
yours.”
Agnew also said that, if he
were to become president, he
would follow Nixon’s foreign
policies but make a few
changes at home.
“That doesn’t mean my ideas
are superior to those of the
President,” he said. “It simply
means that everyone who has
had fairly broad experience has
his own notions of what would
be successful.”
He could only imagine
himself as president, however,
if he ran and were elected,
Agnew said.

Brezhnev says mankind
has outgrown cold war
CAMP DAVID, Md. (UPI) -
Soviet leader Leonid I. Brezh
nev, ending eight days of
summit talks with President
Nixon, declared Sunday that
mankind has “outgrown” the
cold war.
The Soviet Communist party
general secretary planned to
board his blue and white IL-62

Soybeans
replacing
cotton
ROLLINGFORK,Miss. (UPI)
— Mississippi’s delta cotton
farmers, hit hard by massive
spring flooding, are sowing soy
beans with the hope of reaping
economic survival.
“I’d sure like to predict
whether we’ll have a profit or
a loss this year,” said Rives
Carter, who farms about 5,500
acres of land near this Sharkey
County town. “But what we’re
shooting for is survival. I’m
hoping we can at least break
even.”
Carter, one of many delta
planters forced to shift from cot
ton to soybeans when the murky
backwaters of the Yazoo River
swept over their land, said the
water “has receded somewhat
but we’ve still got a ways to
go.”
Carter said he had planned to
plant about 4,000 acres in cotton
before the flooding started in
mid-March but wound up with
only 300 acres of planted cotton.
“The rest of it hopefully will
be in beans, but there’s no guar
antee we’ll get all of that plant
ed,” he added, noting the norm
al planting deadline for a full
soybean crop was June 20. He
said the planting probably would
continue until about mid July.
“It’s too late but we think
we’ve got a fair shot at it,” he
said. “There’s no way to tell
if there’ll be a financial loss be
cause we can’t tell what the
beans will be worth when we
get ’em or what my yield will
be. It’s sort of like rolling dice.”
Carter said his labor force
was drawn from about 25 fam
ilies, mostly blacks, who were
driven from their small farm
houses by the murky backwat
ers of the Yazoo River. But he
said he was fortunate in that
most of them had returned to
their homes.
Plantation owner L. M. Phil
lips, who farms land in the Hol
ly Bluff area, was not as for
tunate. He said he lost about
50 per cent of his labor force
as a result of the flooding.
Phillips, who was bom and
reared on the land he farms,
said he was able to get about
900 acres planted in soybeans
but still had another 700-800
acres under water. He said he
normally planted aboutsso acres
of cotton each year.
He estimated 95 per cent of
the area resident were forced
to evacuate their homes. He pre
dicted 75-80 per cent would even
tually return to their homes but
“it’ll be several years before
the community gets back to
normal.”
The U. S. Corps of Engineers
district office in Vicksburg es
timate spring flood damage from
Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico
at $420 million and said the fig
ure might have been as high as
$7.6 billion without flood control
projects.

He spent the night at the
presidential retreat at Camp
David after flying to the east
coast from California, where he
held the final phase of his
summit conference with Presi
dent Nixon.
During the summit, Nixon
and Brezhnev decreed a virtual
end to the cold war which has
dominated East-West relations
since 1946.
Brezhnev underlined the dra
matic development in an
extraordinary television ad
dress to the American people
Sunday:
“Mankind has outgrown the
rigid ‘cold war’ armor which it
was once forced to wear,”
Brezhnev said in his 47-minute
television address taped in San
Clemente.
“It wants to breathe freely
and peacefully. And we will be
happy if our efforts to better
Soviet-American relations help
draw more and more nations
into the process of detente—be
it in Europe or Asia in Africa
or Latin America, in the Middle
or Far East.”
“The main purport,” Brezh
nev said, “of all that we
discussed and agreed upon with
President Nixon in the field of
international affairs is the firm
determination of both sides to
make good relations between
the USSR and the U.S. a
permanent factor in interna
tional peace."
