"I do believe that there is an opportunity tomorrow to make significant progress," Mondale told reporters after his 90 minute meeting with Gromyko at the Soviet Mission to the United Nations. Mondale said the meeting was "serious and businesslike and gave me a chance to spell out my views on the importance of making progress in tomorrow's meeting with the president." Gromyko i3 scheduled to meet with Reagan for sever al hours Friday in the White House. In a speech Thursday before the U.N. General Assembly, the Soviet Foreign Minister launched a sharp attack on Reagan's policies, saying UJS.-Soviet relations had been upset in recent years. Mondale said he stressed to Gromyko that he was not in the position to negotiate. "I made a strong point that Ronald Rea gan is our president. He should not misunderstand, or mis construe the fact that the vigorous campaign we have going should not in any way detract from the sheer hope of all Americans that progress will be made tomorrow at the meet ing," he said. The unusual meeting between a senior Soviet official and an opposition candidate for president in the midst of a U.S. elec tion campaign grew out of an invitation from the Soviets to Mondale. Mondale declined, for the most part, to describe Gromyko's comments except to say that they paralleled the Soviet leader's speech Thursday which was critical of Washington. He said the meeting centered mostly on arms control Soiitli African violence re-erupts JOHANNESBURG Angry blacks rampaged in townships across South Africa Thursday in growing protest against the state's racial policies. In Port Elizabeth on the south coast riot police "repeatedly fired tear gas to disperse black youths. In Soweto, near Johannesburg, about 200 youths stoned and looted a delivery vehicle, and police said they fired two rubber bullets as the protesters were dispersed. Roaming crowds of black youths in townships east and south of Johannesburg hurled stones and damaged buses, torched a government vehicle and looted a bread van. Police said at least 14 people had been arrested. The company which runs segre gated buses for blacks, Putco, said it had withdrawn its service from Tembisa, northeast of Johannesburg, and a spokesman said, "The situation there is very bad." In Grahamstown, in the eastern Cape Province, a man was injured and three cars damaged by stone-throwing youths. In Natal Province, three gasoline bombs were hurled into private homes. Thousands of black pupils boycotted schools Thursday as the unrest con tinued, and residents of Soweto, the country's largest black township, said many schools there were deserted. A group of lawyers, doctors and political activists opposed to the government said at a news conference in Johannesburg the official death toll of about 40 in riots over the past few weeks was a gross underestimate. U.S. farmers protest low prices CHICAGO About 200 farmers protesting low crop prices descended on the world's busiest commodity futures market Thursday demanding changes in the way business is conducted. "Low prices are the farmers' problem, and those prices are set right here " said Wayne Cryts as he and other farmers in blue jeans and caps waved placards at well-dressed bankers and businessmen outside the Chicago Board of Trade. Cryts became a farmers' folk hero of sorts three years ago when he raided a bankrupt grain elevator to take back his own soybean crop. He was later acquitted of charges stemming from the incident. Police were on hand Thursday but there were no clashes as the protesters asked commodities exchange officials to sup port a plan for regulatory relief by changing the rules governing the way their crops are traded. Members of the American Agriculture Movement, the National Farmers Organization and the National Farmers Union attended the rally. Cryts and other farm leaders are backing a plan that would either ban or limit speculative short sales of commodity futures. A short sale is a paper trade in which a futures con tract is sold in the expectation that its price will falL The protesters said speculation in such contracts drives prices down. Responding to the protest, Board of Trade chairman Tho mas Cunningham said in a statement: "Producers often com plain when commodity prices are too low, but consumers com plain when prices are too high'The function of the commodities exchange "is only to discover what the actual price of commod ities is at any given time," he said.
