SMALL TURNOUT
MANISTEE, Mich. (UPI) -
When John Sauve and Lee
Graves got married here
Saturday, only 80 people
attended the ceremony. Not a
bad showing by some stan
dards, but the couple had
invited the entire town —
population 7,723.
“We really were disappoin
ted,” said Sauve.
But the Springfield, Mich.,
couple said they still like
Manistee, where they often
come to fish. In fact, they’re
spending this week in the area
on fishing honeymoon.
Butz to keep
watch on sales
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Senate
Agriculture Committee Chair
man Herman E. Talmadge said
Monday he has been assured by
Agriculture Secretary Earl L.
Butz that the government will
launch a new system to collect
daily reports from traders on
major grain export contracts.
Talmadge, a Georgia Demo
crat, said Butz told him the plan
would not be pigeonholed.
Talmadgetelephonedßutzand
received the assurance follow
ing publication of a weekend
story in which another official
was quoted as saying the new
system was impractical and
that plans to start it were off
for the moment, at least.
Agriculture aides said the dai
ly reports would be gathered by
the Foreign Agricultural Serv
ice (FAS), not the statistical re
porting service which already
assembles weekly reports on ex
port contracts filed by private
traders. The new daily reports
were to be kept confidential and

THOUGH most influential
politicians are jumping at a
chance to meet with Presi
dent Ford, Democratic
Mayor Richard J. Daley of
Chicago has reportedly de
clined two offers to confer
with the Chief Executive.
Liriope
needed
Griffin City Commissioners
said residents have not
responded too well to their
request for liriope (monkey
grass) which was to be planted
in the parkways on South Hill
street, beginning at the West
Poplar street intersection.
Commissioner Preston Bunn,
who is in charge of the project,
urged Griffinites to donate the
liriope and leave it in the park
way in front of the telephone
building at Hill and Poplar.
He said a large amount of the
plant is needed to sprig the
entire parkway and only a few
plants have been donated so far.
The city is hoping to plant the
liriope instead of grass to cut
down on the cost of upkeep.

only the regular weekly reports.
Talmadge and other Senate
farm leaders had been pressing
for creation of the faster report
ing system to help make sure
that the government—facing a
year in which U. S. crops have
been reduced by drought—does
not get caught by surprise in
major export developments
which could leave U. S. consum
ers short.
Agriculture officials contend,
however, that their own export
intelligence, gathered from a
variety of domestic and foreign
sources, is a better guide to
overseas demand for American
crops than the exporter con
tracts. Those contracts, they
say, often include speculative
agreements which do not result
in actual shipments.
Spokesmen said they could not
be definite about when the new
daily export contracts would
begin, but added it would be “as
soon as possible.”
Johnson
stumping
Georgia
AUGUSTA, Ga. UPI) - Re
publican senatorial candidate
Jerry Johnson is working his
way across Georgia in service
stations and grocery stores to
show his support “for the work
ing man who has calluses and
who sweats at his daily
chores.”
Johnson, a Stone Mountaon
contractor, worked at a local
service station Monday pump
ing gas and wiping windshields
and talking to voters about his
campaign against U.S. Sen.
Herman Talmadge.
Earlier, he showed up at a
civic club meeting in jeans and
a tee shirt and told newsmen
he did not agree with some ac
tions taken by President Ford,
including the selection of Nel
son Rockefeller as the vice
presidential nominee and his
moves toward conditional am
nesty for draft evaders.
He said Ford was like Tal
madge — they both said one
thing and did something else.
Concerning the fight against
inflation, Johnson said the gov
ernment should reduce the fed
eral budget every year to cut
deficit spending.

Ford asked
to remember
the others
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Maureen Dean, the wife of
chief Watergate witness John
W. Dean 111, said Monday
President Ford should remem
ber others involved in the
scandal now that he has
pardoned former President
Nixon.
“I am gratified by the
President’s spirit of for
giveness, but dismayed by the
apparent limitations he has
applied to it,” Mrs. Dean said
in a statement transmitted
Monday through a friend, Peter
Kinsey. “Mr. Nixon and his
family are not the only ones
who have suffered enough
because of Watergate.
“Since the President has
adopted this posture, I pray he
will not overlook those who
have fully co-operated with the
government in getting out the
truth of Watergate to the
American people. These in
dividuals are also suffering
because they told he truth —
which is something we have yet
to hear from Mr. Nixon.”
Dean, Nixon’s former White
House counsel, is serving a one
to-four-year term for his part in
the scandal.
He is in federal custody near
Washington so he can testify at
the Watergate cover-up trial
starting Sept. 30. Mrs. Dean is
also “in the area,” Kinsey said.
