WASHINGTON (AP) - For the first
time since the Soviet grain embargo
was imposed last year, U.S. and
Russian officials next month will con-

"We will discuss additional sales of
grain to the Soviet Union, or additional
needs that they may have," Agriculture
Secretary John Block said yesterday.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT was made
by the Agriculture Department in
Washington and by Block in London,
where he was meeting with British
agricultural officials as patt of a two-
week European tour.
The formal consultations will take
place in London on June 8-9, he said.
The Agriculture Department announ-
ced that Under Secretary of
Agriculture Seeley Lodwick will lead
the U.S. delegation and Deputy Foreign
Trade Minister Boris Gordeev will head
the Soviet group.

the Soviets this summer, Block said the
consultation would include "review of
the world crop situation, crops in the
United States and crops in the Soviet
Union.
"I may point out that these agenda
items are the same agenda items that
have been discussed in the past when
the Soviet Union and the United States
have held consultations under the five-
year grain agreement that is still in
existence,' Block said.
Those scheduled consultations were
suspended, however, once former
President Jimmy Carter imposed the
partial embargo in January 1980 in
response to Soviet intervention in
Afghanistan.

Hostages released following
bar robberyin Detroit
DETROIT-Police stormed a northwest-side bar yesterday and arrested
two men who had held at least 16 persons hostage at gunpoint for about six
hours following a bungled robbery. There were no injuries among the
patrons of Mr. C's Lounge or the 50 or so heavily armed officers who stormed
the bar about 6:15 a.m. EDT, police said. Three men walked into the bar with
sawed-off shotguns about 12:30 a.m., demanded money and jewelry from the
customers, and forced them to lie on the floor. But someone inside the bar set
off a silent burglar alarm during the robbery, and several police cars pulled
up outside the bar while the gunmen were still inside. One of the men,
Stephen Morgan, 19, suddenly ran out of the bar and fired shots at officers
crouched behind their scout cars. Officers returned fire, striking Morgan in
the chest and stomach. He was listed in critical condition at Mount Carmel
Mercy Hospital following surgery.
Brady develops pneumonia
WASHINGTON-Gravely wounded White House press secretary James
Brady has developed pneumonia, but doctors said yesterday it is a "highly
manageable" infection in his left lung and can be treated successfully with
antibiotics. "If we have to have a complication we'd rather have this," Dr.
Dennis O'Leary, chief of clinical affairs at George Washington University
Medical Center said. He said the infection-the apparent cause of a per-
sistent fever that has afflicted the 40-year-old Brady in recent days-is
located in the lower lobe of the left lung. Brady was shot in the head eight
weeks ago by a gunman who attempted to assassinate President Reagan.
His recuperation is expected to take at least a year. He has isade good
progress in the past week or so, and has been taken to the physical therapy

Mourners gather to pay final respects to Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski, who
died of cancer yesterday atthe age of 79.
Wyszynski dies in Poland
WARSAW, Poland-Cardinal Stefan Wyszyncki, the rock on which
Poland's Roman Catholic church stood through more than 30 years of Com-
munist rule and a symbol of the church's trials and triumphs, died yesterday
of cancer. Wyszynski's death brought an outpouring of grief, sorrow, and
uncertainty to Poland, where 80 to 90 percent of the 36 million population is
Catholic. The 79-year-old primate of the Polish church died in his Warsaw
residence, where he had been ailing for about six weeks. Death ended a reign
that began in 1948 and saw the elevation of a Polish priest to the papacy.
Pope John Paul II, who once said he owed his papacy to Wyszynski, asked to
be left alone to pray after hearing of the death of the man he considered to be
his mentor.
Police search for motive
in death of Telex chairman
TULSA, Okla.-An 11-man police task force checked motives yesterday
that included assassination, robbery, and kidnapping in connection with the
slaying of Roger Wheeler, millionaire board chairman of Telex Corp., in a
country club parking lot. Wheeler, 55, was shot once in the head Wednesday
by a gunman who then fled the exclusive Southern Hills Country Club, police
said. Detective Maj. Stanley Glantz said police were concentrating on fin-
ding a car seen speeding from the lot after Wheeler was shot. He had just
finished his weekly golf game and after a shower, went along to his car to
return to Telex, which makes computer terminals, tape decks, and other
electronic items. As he got into the car, a gunman approached him, police
said. The man fired one shot and quickly left the area. Four unfired car-
tridges were found in Wheeler's lap and on the ground next to his car. Wit-
nesses to the shooting were mostly youngsters at the club swimming pool
about 60 yards away.

"With that behind me, I felt friendlier,
more relaxed, and a little bit braver..."
