This is more than the max-|#sreement, imum amount covered in the 1963 long-term agreement with Communist China, and is sec- ond only to the 239,000,000 - bushel contract with Russia signed in 1963. The latter was worth about $500,000,000. Both those earlier big con- tracts, however, ran for a span of three years, even though the bulk of the earlier Russian wheat was shipped in one 12- month period. The new Russian wheat deal Lack Of Rain Hits Russ In Failure Of By HENRY S. BRADHSER MOSCOW (AP) -- The mas- sive new Soviet purchase of! wheat from Canada confirms that Russia is having another bad harvest, informed observ- ers said today in commenting} on the announcement in Winni-| peg Wednesday that Canada! is for a few days short of one year. i SURPLUS TO GROW The sale is expected to in- crease substantially the Cana- dian trade surplus originally forecast for this year. Trade Minister Sharp said last spring the 1965 surplus likely would drop sharply from last year's $814,300,000 record In the first four months of this year, the trade surplus melted to $30,600,000 from $195,- riod in 1964. More recent sta- tistics are not yet available. Under the earlier Russian Canada _ exported 212,200,000 bushels in the crop year which ran from Aug, 1, 1963 to July 31, 1964. In the 1964-65 crop year, to the end of June--the period for which latest official statistics are available -- shipments amounted to 6,915,162 bushels. Another 7,318,299 bushels went to Cuba as part of a supple- mentary agreement signed in October, 1965, which became in effect part of the earlier Rus- sian contract.

Recorder Sparks Plant Walkout TORONTO (CP) -- Installa- tion of an electronic recorder sparked a mass walkout Wed- nesday of.some 2,000 workers in the downtown plant of Mas- sey-Ferguson Industries Ltd, Company officials called the work stopwage illegal and urged union leaders to get the work- ers back.on the job. The com- pany also demanded damages for all losses which result from the work stoppage. A union spokesman said the recorder which went into opera- tion Wednesday making a time study on 20 machines in the plant, is being used to spy on the workers. The company claims the unit's only purpose is to measure the capacity of the machines, foreign currency to buy that much from Canada, observers note, it is probably also look The company also claims that similar recorders have been in use in other Massey-Ferguson plants for many years. ing for wheat from other coun- tries on barter terms.

The contract for 187,000,000 bushels (4,600,000 tons of wheat and 400,000 tons of wheat flour) is second only to the record 1963 sale involving 239,000,000 bush- els for $500,000,000, The 1963 crop was also a rec- ord. -- 723,000,000 bushels were harvested--but this year obser- vers are talking about. a 700,- 000,000-bushel harvest because of spring floods and cold that may expose the crop to rust and frost before the fields are cleared, Mr. Sharp mentioned an ex- port target of 600,000,000 bush- els as he appealed to the heads of transportation services for a "maximum effort' in moving this year's crop. The shipment will be handled through eastern ports from now until next July. Russian commitments for the new crop year now are for 222,- 000,000 bushels, worth about $450,000,000. A preliminary sale was announced last week as the Russians were once again forced into the market by a substandard harvest at home. The 1963 deal also was trig- gered by a poor Soviet crop. Carryover on last year's crop is estimated at about 500,000,000 bushels, but this will dwindle if the new crop does not surpass the expected 700,000,000 bushel harvest. Coupled with 150,000,000 bush- els for domestic consumption, Mr. Sharp's export target, if reached, could turn out a total "disappearance" of 750,000,000 | Fewkes' village tavern here. will sell the Soviet Union al-| Continued purchasing after most 5,000,000 metric tons ofjthis year might be necessary wheat during the next 12/until the new agricultural pro- months. }gram announced last March There had already been indi-|has time to work long-needed cations that the Soviet wheat/improvements in the neglected crop was going to be below av-| Soviet farm system. erage this year because, pri-| Even if the full agricultural marily, of a lack of rain east|program is carried out, which of the Volga River. remains uncertain, it will be Indications now are that the| several years before farm. pro- Soviet Union will continue to/duction rises much, according buy wheat abroad in large to indications. quantities for several years.

Informed Liberal sources say that practical political factors point to a fall vote or none until at least late 1966, They say a majority of the cabinet. is press- ing Mr. Pearson to make it now rather than later, and may tell him again at meetings slated for next week, Questioned on his election plans' Wednesday following a cabinet meeting, Mr. Pearson told reporters prime ministers don't discuss their thinking on this subject at corridor press conferences "The right time for you to bear. (about -an election) will be when the announcement will have been made," he said. MUCH STILL LEFT He added,, however, that he remains concerned with getting the Liberal party's program through Parliament, He said it includes such unfinished busi- ness as medical care insurance, collective bargaining for the civil service and revision of the Bank Act. The prime minister said he does not consider such items as the $450,000,000 wheat sale to Russia announced Wednesday "in terms of elections." Likeliest dates for a fall elec- tion are Monday, Oct .25, or Monday, Nov, 1. This would mean that to al- low for the required 58 days of preparation for the vote, Mr. Pearson would have to dissolve Parliament either by Aug. 27 or Sept. 4. The oft- mentioned date of Oct. 18 is considered unlikely because this would force the enumeration of voters--which starts on the 49th day before polling day--to take place be- fore Labor Day, Sept. 6, when many families are still at sum- mer cottages. MIGHT BE TOO COLD A later Monday in November could run into cold weather with possible disruption of fly- ing schedules and increased difficulties for poll workers try- ing to get out the vote. Winter elections have not been popular in recent times. The last November election was in 1904 and the last December election in 1921. The usual decrease in winter employment makes any of the winter months less favorable for the government than the fall. Looming larger as each month passes is an ethical prob- lem arising from the redistribu- tion of federal electoral ridings which is expected to become of- ficial in mid-April of 1966. TIPPLERS GET .
