Sen.

Clifford Case, ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which met with Ford for 90 minutes at the White House, told reporters the panel was working to give President Ford "a degree of discretion" in providing limited military aid to Saigon. Earlier in the afternoon, Senate Democratic leader Mike Mansfield told the Senate Democratic caucus that South Vietnam could not expect anymore U.S. aid if it insisted on continuing the fighting, rather than seeking to negotiate with the Communists. Asked if the committee was ruling out President's Ford's request for $722 million in military assistance, Case said: "I would not rule it out if you don't use that high a figure. I think we would allow a degree of discretion for the President.

"There is not a disposition to be stiff-backed on the part of the Congress of over-insistence on the part of the President." The $1,000 prize for a biography went to Richard B.

Local crop still far off At T-Bone Feeders in Shepherd, the price of hay is $54 a ton. But if you want to buy some, they have no hay to sell.

Yellowstone County Extension Agent John Raney said hay supplies have been short throughout the Yellowstone Valley and hay has been selling from $35 to $55 a ton. Those who feed cattle in this area have another month to sue weeks before grass will be in full production "depending on weather," Raney said. The earliest spring grazing will be on crested wheat grass Billings area feeders buy green leafy hay, either grass or alfalfa. The irrigated lands around Billings produce some of the best. But the crop must compete with other crops to be profitable.

Winter-stressed rangeland means increases demand, and the price rises. But locally, the rangelands have not been under as much stress as in other areas of Montana and Wyoming. Also, feedlot numbers are down, lessening demand for hay. That means that although the price here is high, it is not as high as it might be. Area shortages are due to hay being shipped out of the area.

Henry A. Jackson they "seriously question" the nomination of former Wyoming Gov. Stanley Hathaway as Interior Secretary. Jackson, -chairman of the Interior and Insular Committee, has announced he will hold hearings on the Hathaway nomination which has sparked widespread controversy. Rail clerks preparing for strike WASHINGTON (AP) The head of the Brotherhood of Railway and Airline Clerks said Monday his union is preparing for a nationwide railroad strike at 12:01 a.m.

Friday. BRAC President C.L. Dennis said his 250,000 union members were voting overwhelmingly in favor of a walkout and declared: "If we must strike to achieve our bargaining goals, then strike we will." Shuffle his position as finance officer official, Thompson resigned and stormed out of the meeting. The council had accepted his resignation, but Leone said he refused to accept it. Last Thursday the mayor said he would ask the council Monday to forgive Thompson's rash actions.

Thompson remained at his desk in City Hall until he was stricken Friday. However, Leone refused to comment on the situation Monday and would not even say whether Thompson was still on the city payroll. Council President James Kerr said the mayor had told him that Thompson had resigned a second time last week, but Leone said he only had one letter of resignation. Deputy City Clerk Lois Schuster said that regardless of whether or not Thompson was on the payroll, his medical expenses were covered by the city's health plan. Health insurance premiums are paid a month in advance, she explained.

mity dissolved along party lines. The four Republican members voted for a motion that Republican Reps. Elmer Schye of White Sulphur Springs, Oscar Kvaalen of Lambert and Robert Marks of Clancy did not intend to mislead the public when they placed the ads. The four Democrats on the committee voted against the motion. As the hearing opened, committee counsel Charles Petaja said the committee should determine whether the ads were designed to mislead the public, and if so, whether they were placed intentionally or negligently.

It didn't take the group long to agree that the ads were mis leading, but further action bogged down over the issue of intentional or negligent motivation. the Rules Committee which he heads. A short time before, the four Democrats on the Rules Committee had voted to recommend that tape recorders be allowed during floor debate in the remaining days of the session. A controversy errupted last week when a newsman, Fred Schmauch of Intermountain News Network, was stopped from recording House proceed-ings. Since then, Schmauck argued repeatedly that a tape recorder is a legitimate tool of a broadcast newsman.

were injured hurt naturally or mechanically dehydrating grasses, alfalfa and tissorted other plants. Unlike straw, hay contains depending on the mix used. Farmers can get up to four crops a year in proper circumstances. In recent years, commercial dehydrators have also been converting corn stalks and other waste into fodder. Roderick Turnbull, farm expert for the Kansas City Board of Trade, predicts that the use of hay during the current season, ending May 1, will be the highest on record.

Already, the hay supply is the lowest that it has been in the last five years. "There are more cattle in the United States today than at any other time in history. The cow herd is also the largest in history he observed. He went on to explain that cattle feeders, caught between the angry consumer and rising production costs, have turned to hay and other feeds to feed their animals. Even at $50 a ton, hay is cheaper than corn (roughly $107 a ton), not to mention soybean meal or other livestock feed-stuffs.

With the number of cattle and calves estimated at a record of 132 million head on Jan. 1 up 4 million in the past year and up 11 million in two years there is no sign that the demand for hay will abate. The Agriculture Department "also noted that demand persisted after corn growers converted 20 per cent of their 1974 crop into silage, which is used as an animal feed. Silage is made from vegetable matter that is compressed and fermented in air-tight bins. Because many corn farmers experienced poor crops last season, they cut more immature or withered plants than normal for silage.

The total supply for hay 52 million tons this season is. proving to be 7 million tons below demand, and only the Northwest has more stocks on hand today than a year ago. Hay. planting and growing varies with the price of other crops. Because prices were rising for other crops, many farmers switched to corn, soybeans and other higher income produce in 1974.

Now, for the same reason but in reverse, farmers are expected to seed more acres in alfalfa and other hay-producing crops this season. With many more feedlot operators closing down and cattle raisers keeping their animals on the range this year, the increased acreage may not affect hay prices. In fact, many farmers are returning to the ancient practice of using some of their earnings to buy calves for fattening during the winter months, rather than leave that to feedlot operators who buy young animals from breeders and fatten them on expensive corn, soybean meal and other protein-rich feeds. Chain crash on East Bridge Four vehicles, including a semi-trailer truck, collided near the east bridge Monday afternoon, but only one man was injured. Hospital authorities at St.

Vincent's said Waldemar Swantz, 54, of Worden was treated for neck injuries and released. Highway patrol officers reported the accident occurred when two cars and a pickup truck were stopped near the east side of the bridge waiting for another vehicle to turn onto Cerise Road.
