WASHINGTON President Reagan Tuesday ollered to sell
the Soviet Union an additional 10 million metric tons of Ameri
can grain in fiscal 1985, which begins Oct. 1. Under a five-year
pact, the United States already has agreed to let the Soviet
Union purchase up to 12 million tons in fiscal 1985. In a
statement, Reagan said the U.S. Department of Agriculture
would notity Moscow Tuesday of the cf&r for the grain.
Reagan's announcement came only hours after he held a
conference to say he would meet with Soviet Foreign !,!inkter
Andrei Gromyko in Washington Sept. 28. Walter Mondale has
accused Reagan of bringing relations with Moscow to their
lowest level in years. The Soviet Union, facing its sixth consecu
tive poor harvest, has been buyin g huge amounts of American
grain in the past two months. Reagan has been under pressure
from congressmen in big-vote farm states to increase grain
sales to the Soviets.
Shortly after taking oflice, Reagan lifted former President
Carter's 1SS0 grain embargo and opened negotiations for a
new sales agreement which was signed in August 1033. With
out specifically naming Mondals, who served as Carter's vice
president, Reagan said, "Our philosophy is against the unfair,
wrong-headed policy of grain embargoes." Mondak said re
peatedly during the current presidential campaign that he
privately opposed Carter's grain embargo.
The USDA haa estimated the Soviet Union will need to
import 43 million tons of grain from the world market to
compensate for a 1034 harvest estimated at only 180 million
tons. Private grain analysts estimate the Soviet Union will turn
to the United States for about half that amount, with the
remainder likely to come from Canada, Argentina, the Euro
pean Community and Australia.
Bomber protolyps reoniiieo testa
WASHINGTON AB-1 prototype bomber that was grounded
after the crash of a similar plane in the Mojave Desert in
California Aug. 29 is scheduled to resume test eights this week
the Pentagon said Tuesday. Spokesman Michael Burch said an
investigation into the crash, which killed Douglas Benefield,
chief test pilot for Rockwell International the B-l's builder,
could be completed by next week. The two prototypes were
built in the 1970s before the B-l bomber program was can
celled by former President Carter. Development of tlie bomber,
to replace aging B-52s, was resumed as part of President Rea
gan's strategic modernization program. Burch told reporters
he did not think there would be any restrictions on the test
flights of the prototype, which has been flying since 1874. The
prototype crashed while on a slow-speed, low-level test flight
near Edwards Air Force Base, north of Los Angeles. Six days
after the crash, Rockwell rolled out its first production B-l in
ceremonies at its plant near the crash site. The US. Air Force,
which wants to build 100 B-l s at a total cost of $23.3 billion,
said the crash would not delay production of the plane.
Waiter Mondale has said he will cancel the B-l program if he
is elected president. He argues the plane is unnecessary since
the United States also is developing an advanced, radar
evading Stealth bomber.

WASHINGTON The VS. Army announced Tuesday it
would create two new "light" infantry divisions to bring to four
the number of these highly mobile units designed for quick
deployment to world trouble spots. It said one division would
be formed next year at Fort Dram in northern New York and
another in 1836 in Alaska at Fort Richardson in Anchorage
and Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks. Light divisions are com
posed of about 10,200 men each and can be airlifted to trouble
spots three times faster than regular divisions of some 18,500
men. These units are designed to be self-contained and able to
fight for at least 48 hours without reinforcement The armv
announced plans last February to form its first Hglit division at
Fort Ord, Calif, and in June announced a second would be
created from National Guard units in Virginia and Maryland.
The Fort Ord division will be activated next month and the
Virginia-Maryland unit in 1088, with the addition of the new
unit s the U.S. Army will haw added 18 active divisions in 1888.
there will be few new troops because the divisions are being
. created by shilling soldiers from existing units. Present army
strength is about 788,000 men and women.

GREEN BAY, Wis. Democrat ic presidential candidate Wal
ter Mondale visited a paper products factory Ttedsy and
turned red when asked to tes t one of its products a package
cf four rolls of toilet paper. As Mondale greeted employees at
the main entrance of the Procter & Gamble factory here, a
worker thrust the toilet paper into his hands and said, "We
want you to test the quality of it for us."
-You want me to test the quality?" Mondale replied. A worker
shouted out, "Squeeze it," and Mondale broke into a grin when
he realized the tissue was the Charmln brand. Charrain is
heayOy advertised as being so soft it can be sheered. "You are
not Mr. Whipple, but you should be able to tell us," the worker
toldiiondale. Mondale squeezed the Charmln and replied "Boy
that was close.
