WASHINGTON—President Ford said he has been
influenced by his wife’s suggestion that he consider
nominating a woman to replace retired Supreme Court
Justice William O. Douglas. He noted that two of the
potential nominees on the list submitted to him by
Attorney General Edward Levi were women, HUD

U.S. wheat helps
Soviet war machine
By JEFFREY ST. JOHN
Copley News Service
WASHINGTON - “The
Red army cannot be strong
without great state reserves
of wheat,” wrote Lenin, “be
cause without this the army
cannot be moved about free
ly, nor trained as it should
be.”
Lenin’s words were quoted
by the commandant of the
Lenin Military Political
Academy in Moscow as part
of a 1974 published work on
defense organization.
“Modern warfare,” wrote
Gen. Yevdokim Yegorovich
Mal’tsev, “makes great de
mands for industry supplying
the army and population with
foodstuffs and other material
means.”
On Oct. 20 the Ford admin
istration announced a five
year grain deal with the Sovi
et Union that allows Moscow
to purchase at least six mil
lion metric tons of wheat and
corn annually. President
Ford hailed the agreement as
a “positive step” in relations
between the two nations and
one that would benefit Ameri
can farmers, workers and
consumers. Even anti-Com
munist hard-liner AFL-CIO
President George Meany
hailed the agreement after
backing an earlier boycott of
grain shipment to the Soviets
because of the possible conse
quences for U.S. consumers.
(An earlier wheat sale to the
Soviets had sent food prices
sharply upward.)
How much of that U.S.
wheat will help feed and
maintain the Soviet war ma
chine? No precise estimate is
currently available, but Rus-

sian Gen. Mal’tsev gives it
high priority.
A review of the top Soviet
general’s work was in the fall
issue of Strategic Review, a
quarterly publication of the
U.S. Strategic Institute,
Washington, D.C. In it, the
Russian expert Harriet Fast
Scott points out that huge
wheat purchases by the
Kremlin are the direct conse
quences of forced collectivi
zation of Soviet agriculture
that was begun in 1928 and
which has cost millions of
lives. But because of military
and political considerations
such a continued failure has
not moved the Russians to re
turn the vast Russian agri
cultural land to private culti
vation.
“It probably is obvious to
some of the Kremlin lead
ers,” writes Mrs. Scott, “that
returning the land to the
peasant would solve part of
their food problem. However,
such an act might lead to

sees wins
over Reagan
CRESTED BUTTE, Colo.
(UPI) — The head of the
committee to re-elect President
Ford says Ronald Reagan will
lose primary elections even in
states where he is considered
strong.
Howard H. “Bo” Callaway
Thursday said President Ford
would win the Republican
primaries in New Hampshire
and Florida and end Reagan’s
1976 presidential hopes.
“We’ll win in those states
despite reports that his (Rea
gan’s) effort is going well
there,” said Callaway. “And if
he doesn’t win his best states —
how’s he going to win his worst
states,” Callaway said.
loosening of party control.
“Even more important, the
abandonment of the collectiv
ized system might lessen the
ability of the political-mili
tary planners to manage
completely food outputs in
the event of war.”
In effect, what the Ford ad
ministration has sanctioned
by its sale of wheat to the So
viets is the continued political
control of the Russian people
while at the same time
strengthening the Soviet war
machine. It is, therefore, no
wonder that when China
heard of the wheat sale by the
United States, the atmos
phere in Peking cooled, when
Secretary of State Kissinger
was there to prepare for
President Ford’s forthcom
ing trip, and the Chinese
turned their propaganda guns
on the U.S.-Soviet concept of
detente. For stationed along
China’s borders is massive
Soviet military might, obvi
ously to be fed, in part, by
wheat from the United States.
Hie selling of U.S. wheat to
the Soviets has an even more
deadly danger that Mrs. Scott
raises.
“The expressed require
ment of the Soviet armed
forces for wheat,” she writes,
“merits careful examination.
Many in the United States
feel smug about our grain
sales to the Soviet Union, dis
cerning benefit to the United
States and thinking that this
will help convince the Soviet
leadership of the superiority
of Western systems of pro
duction.
“However, greater atten
tion should be given to the
danger of the Soviet Union
becoming dependent upon the
United States to supply each
year their deficits in agricul
ture. What might happen if,

Taxpayers
This column of questions and answers on federal tax
matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service and is published as a public service to
taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequent
ly asked by taxpayer's.
Q. I plan to use the State Sales
Tax Tables to determine the sales
tax deduction on my 1975 return.
Do the tables include tax I paid on
my new car?
A. No. If you use the Optional
State Sales Tax Tables to calculate
your deduction, you may add the
sales tax paid on your car to the
deduction amount shown in the
tables. If the state sales tax rate
on motor vehicles is higher than
the general sales tax rate, that
part of the tax paid equal to a tax
imposed at the general sales tax
rate is deductible. This sales tax
provision applies also to the pur-
N.Y. aid up for action
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Con
gress is expected to act quickly
on President Ford’s plan for
federal loans to New York City
when it returns from its
Thanksgiving recess next week.
The President’s loan plan
would provide up to $2.3 billion
a year for the city under a
strict requirement that the
money be paid back annually
with interest.
The aid would keep New
York from going bankrupt, the

homes, and the materials used to

own contractor.
Q. When I left my old job I re
ceived a lump sum from my em
ployer's pension plan. May I use
the money to open an Individual
Retirement Account (IRA)?
A. Yes. The taxable portion of
your lump sum distribution may
be transferred to an individual re
tirement savings account, even
though you would not otherwise
be eligible to establish one. How
ever, the transfer of the money
must be made within 60 days after
night, without costing taxpayers
outside New York any money.
Federal loans would be made
available to New York on a
month-to-month basis, but could
be cut off by Treasury
Secretary William Simon if the
city relaxed its own stringent
fiscal program.
Ford said he reversed his
position on federal aid because
“New York has bailed itself
out” by cutting city spending
sharply and approving heavy
taxes to help pay for services.

force should the Arab nations
not make oil available to the

Soviet leadership might be in
the same category as the sale
of oil to the West.”

The amount you may transfer
tax free is the total amount of the
distribution you received, less any
contribution you, the employee,
have made.
Q. My son, a college student, re
ceives a $2500 per year scholar
ship. This year I paid an additional
SIBOO for all his other living ex
penses. Since this SIBOO appears
to be less than half the money he
has to live on, do I lose him as a de
pendent?
A. Any scholarship your child,
stepchild, foster child or legally
adopted child receives for study at
an educational institution is not
considered in determining his to
tal support. Therefore, since the
SIBOO you paid is more than half
your son’s total support, without
the scholarship, you may claim him
as a dependent.
