NPPERT Unllrd Press International The wheat belt gave guarded approval today to suggestions the United States sell surplus grain to Russia. "It doesn't make a lot of dif ference whom we sell wheat to. . . summed up one grain ter minal official simply. "We have plenty and apparent ly the Russians are short," ranch er J. Tipns Hamilton, wney, S.D., said. "Sometimes we have to put aside our hostilities and help those who are less well off." Actually, those who were op posed to selling wheat to Russia or who had doubts did not do so on the basis of the "cold war." Rather, they raised eco nomic questions as to what the form of payment would be and whether the sale would really shrink this country's huge pile of grain. Fertilizers, increased acreage and "farm automation" have caused a tremendous boost in agricultural production in the United States since World War II began, and have left this country with one of its biggest headaches, Seek Solution Both Republicans and Demo crats tried but were largely faulted for their farm .programs. And yards of huge government granenies continue to dot the countryside throughout the Mid-! die West. On the other hand, it has been reported the Russians liave been having serious agricultural pron lems ot tlie opposite kind. Pro- duction is low and food prices are sky high, A fortnight ago Soviet negotia tors signed a $500 million Cana dian wheat deal. Against this background, it was learned four private grain trad ers are in Ottawa, Canada, try ing to lay the groundwork for a large United States-Russia wheat deal. Kennedy Shows Interest At the same time, President' Kennedy winged his way on a oross-country trip along the rim policy but has "evidenced inter est in these developments." Existing government regula tions forbid tlie sale of subsidized farm commodities to Communist nations. But such congressmen as Sens. Frank Carlson, RJan., and Hubert Humphrey, D-Minn., nave called pubhely for reversing the restrictions. 20 Heroes Win Cash And Medals PITTSBURGH (UPI) - A 21- : year-old laundry worker from Tucson, Ariz., was awarded a silver medal and $1,000 from the Carnegie Hero Commission today for rescuing seven women during an explosion end fire at a laun dry and dry cleaning plant.

" Urquidez then carried Carmen Ramos and Olivia Aros to safety and made one more trip inside to remove another woman just before the walls of tlie one-story structure collapsed.
