Hugh Scott, R-Pa., sharply criti. cized the proposed wheat deal wilh the Russians today. He do scribed it as the latest "in the current trend of one-way con cessions" to the Soviet Union. Scott joined with more con servative Senate Republicans in support of a measure, by Sen. Karl E. Mundt, R-S.D., to pre vent the Export-Import Bank or any government agency from underwriting or guaranteeing the credit of the Communist countries in the purchase of wheat or other U.S. commodi ties.

IUPI A footprint lightly tinging tlie new white of a feathery pre dawn snow with a suspicious red stain was H tlie killer's'! Or anotlier man's? Were there two men inside the home when Carol Thomp son was slugged and knifed? Just a footprint m tlie snow that fell after midnight. One of many. But it may be pivotal in the murder trial of T. Eugene Thompson, the criminal lawyer from St. Paul. Tho case of the husband ac cused of planning the slaying of his church-worker wife moved today from the talc of tho ago nized last hours of the dying Carol Thompson to the clean logic of the crime lab. Mrs. Thompson, 34, a devot ed mother of four, choir sing er, respected housewife in a fashionable section of St. Paul, staggered out the side door of her 2'4-story home last March 6. Just after 9 a.m. she ap peared at a neighbor's front door unrecognizable with Hie thick blood and battered disfig urement that attended her trag edy and weakly pleaded: "Help me I have a knife in my throat." Covered Footprint Seven minutes alter 9, the first policeman arrived. He soon had cardboard covering footprints of what he deduced was her trail from house to house seeking help and otlier footprints. At 10:35 a.m., Theodore Roy Elzerman arrived. He is a criminalist in charge of the St. Paul police laboratory. The state's 75th witness as lis case now aoasls downhill to a climax exported late this week Or ear ly next. His was a major role in today's testimony. Elzerman was Just gelling started when tlie first-degree murder trial of the 35-year-old little lawyer and former church elder and trustee he often sang beside his wife in the choir and for a time sang a song of infidelity with a bru nette paramour was recessed for the day. Elzerman gave his credentials, told of his job. Rising Criminal Lawyer Thompson, a 5-foot-6 towhead from the turkey-raising country southwest of here, worked his way through law school and was an up-and-coming young criminal attorney until the state charged him with master minding a plot lo do away with his wife. It has presented as motives the fact that he had purchased $1,055,000 in insur ance on her life and early last year had begged an alleged mistress, Jackie Ole.scn, for 11 months to get enough money to support her and his family. Import Bank, were scheduled to testify before the Senate Bank ing Committee today on the Mundt hill. May Ruin Chance Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon ; told the committee Wednesday that such a prohibi tion would virtually ruin any chance of a wheat sale to the Soviet bloc. Tlie Mundt bill was not the only foreseeable snag to the wlwat deal. It was learned Wednesday that Soviet negotia tors told U.S. officials that the prices proposed by private com. mercial firms for the purchase of tlie grain and its shipment to Russia are too high. The Russians told tlie State Department they felt the rea son for the high prices was U.S. government insistence that 50 per cent of the wheat be shipped in American vessels, which charge higher rates than foreign shippers. They asked if this ratio could be changed. Not Entering Talks The State Department replied it did not want to re-enter gov ernment - to - government ne gotiations over w heat sales, and would leave it between the So viets and private American businessmen. Eighf-Foot Snake Flees From Shop In Michigan MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. 'UPD iPolicc renewed their search today for a missing eight-foot anaconda. The snake, capable of crush ing to death small rodents or slashing someone with its razor sharp teeth, escaped from a downtown pet shop owned by Richard Kulik, 35. Kulik said he first discovered the Soulh American reptile missing Wednesday morning. He said he searched his shop and called police when he could not find it. According to Kulik, tlie ana conda pushed back a wooden door at the top of its cage, found the mail chute at the front o the shop and slithered to freedom. However, Kulik said the snake could nol be considered danger ous. But police did nol agree with him and organized a search im mediately. , Tlie anaconda, a warm wea tlior snake, grows lo a length of 25 feet when mature. They crush their prey with constric tor muscles and swallow their kill whole. Kulik already was under fire from the Macomb County Hu mane Society for keeping a rodcnl-ealing boa constrictor in his store's front window. The society complained that Kulik was feeding live guinea pigs to the snake in full view of an aroused public.

President George Meany of the labor group angrily charged the AMA with "an absolute fraud," with the alleged circu lation of a "forged" antinuiion phonograph record. AMA President Dr. Edward It. Annis issued a counterblast from Washington saying "the reckless charge of fraud leveled at the AMA ... is completely false." The exchange grew out of a $400,000 damage suit filed Wednesday by a Pennsylvania Steelworkers Union official against the AMA for distribut ing the "fraudulent" record. Filed By Normile The suit was filed in district court in Washington by Paul Normile, director of the United Steelworkers of America's Dis trict 16 in Pittsburgh. Normile said the record car ried a voice falsely identified as his, which caused him "ex treme humiliation, embarass ment and mental anguish and injuring his reputation." In rebuttal, Dr. Annis termed the lawsuit "ridiculous." He said the lawsuit was "a trans parent publicity slant and a smoke screen to divert atten tion from the hearings being conducted by the House Ways & Means Committee on the ad ministration's health care bill." Annis said the AMA would re serve its reply for court but added: "However, the filing of the suit will serve a good pur pose if it alerts the American people to the political tactics of certain labor leaders and coer cion used by them to raise po litical funds from union mem bers." Record Voices Threats Normile later appeared at a news conference where the rec ord was played. The voice on the record did not sound much like Normile's as he spoke to newsmen. In tough language it threatened union members with the "graveyard shift" if they did not contribute to the AFU CIO's Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the pur pose of pushing the medicare bill through Congress. "It obviously is not me speak ing." Normile said, "but we have not been able to find out who made the record, where it was produced or by whom." Steelworkers' President David J. McDonald, who appeared at the news conference with Nor mile, said his union would ren der all possible assistance lo Normile and said he was shocked that the AMA "would countenance the political mal practice so evident in this com pletely spurious recording." Normile said the record was being distributed by the Ameri can Medical Political Action Committee (AMPACi for use at doctors' meetings lo get them to contribute to AMPAC. RAIL LUGGER LOUISVILLE. Ky.
