STBURG NEGROES MARCH " RACE HATRED FLARES TWO DEALS TO NET CANADA $450,000,000 WINNIPEG (CP)--The Cana- dian wheat board today an- nounced a cash sale of approx- imately 187,000,000 bushels of wheat to the Soviet Union, The deal was second only to the rec- ord sale of 1963. The contract calls for deliv- ery to start this month and be completed by the end of next July. Shipment will be entirely through St. Lawrence River and Atlantic ports. The sale is in addition to| aa 27,000,000 - bushel deal an- nounced last week. Trade Minister Sharp said the combined value to Canada is about $450,000,000. The announcement was made at a press conference attended by Mr. Sharp, Agriculture Min- ister Hays and W. C. McNa- mara, chief commissioner of the wheat board, MARKET ASSURED Mr; Sharp said the huge sale means /an assured market for' every bushel of wheat that can be moved through Canadian ports during the next 12 months. He added "it means in effect a market for the coming crop almost regardless of its size. "There could be an actual 're- duction in the carryover if the crop does not exceed 700,000,000 bushels," said the minister. Mr. McNamara said final fig- ures are not available but the carryover when the 1964-65 crop, Russ Buy More Wheat year ended July 31 is estimated at about 500,000 bushels. Said Mr. Sharp: "The target for exports of wheat and flour for the current ie crop year is 600,000,000 bushels, which is larger than the previ- ous record (of 595,000,000) es- tablished in 1963-64. "Adding 150,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption means total disappearance of 750,000,000 bushels." Half Power Output Due From Units SYDNEY, N.S. (CP) -- Gen- eral manager J. M. Handley of the Ontario Hydro Commission said here Tuesday it is expected atomic - and coal-powered: gen- erating plants will yield half the power output in Ontario in the near future. The demand for electricity in Ontario was growing too fa- pidly to be filled by water-pow- ered plants, he said.

(AP) -- The Seven Seas, a swaybacked old banana boat whose last cargo was murder, has been unburd- ened by one mystery. But two others remain: Who has jurisdiction in the case, and what happened to the ship's cook? Federal authorities said a man picked up Tuesday in the Gulf Stream in the Seven Seas' skiff told them he shot the cap- tain and four shipmates after an argument with the skipper about Fidel Castro Saturday night. Roberta Ramirez, 35, a for- mer Cuban lobster man, told of- ficials he had defended the Cu- ban leader and that Capt. Ro- gelio Diaz had threatened to turn him over to anti-Castro refuge. when the Seven Seas reached Tampa, where 'it was headed for repairs. It was either "'me or them," officials quoted Ramirez.
