Weve heard nothing definite here but my guess is that something is going to happen soon. It simply cant go on much longer under this kind of pressure. He said it was inconceivable to him that the Agnew investigation could have proceeded to this point unless the Justice Department thought it had a tight case. Justice Department officials reportedly are unwilling to make any deal which early Expect Ample Supplies Because of current large runs of livestock,, consumers can expect ample supplies of beef and pork to be available soon at retail prices comparable to those of last winter, far below those when the index released Friday was taken. Richardson decided last Friday to allow the evidence against Agnew to proceed to the grand jury. Up to now, the evidence obtained by the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore has not been presented to a special federal grand jury meeting there. The panel has been investigating political corruption in Maryland since last January. Harold B. Steele, president of the Illinois Agricultural Association, said the governments August report of food prices is sadly out of date. BUENOS AIRES (UPI) -Argentine presidential election campaigning ended Friday with a televised message to the people from aged but confident Juan D. Peron, 77, who expect:, to win back the office from which he was ousted 18 years ago. No campaigning is allowed during the last 24 hours before the polls open Sunday. Peron booked pnme television time Friday night for a speech which would emphasize national unity and reconstruction, Peronist sources said. The sources also said Peron would again condemn leftist guerrilla groups, organized during the previous military regime and still active since Peronist Hector Campora became president May 25.
