selected as northeastern
United States sectional
winners.
According to Carroll L.
Howes, associate 4-H youth
division leader at Penn
State, Amy Walters, 16,
Rockwood R 2; Thomas
Perry, 16, Stroudsburg; and
David Sammons, 17, New

Lybia warm for trade;
Quadafi calls
Americans
PARK RIDGE, 111. -
Despite the Arab’s generally
negative attitude toward the
recent Camp David talks, an
American farm leader has
returned from a week-long
conference in Tripoli, Libya,
convinced there is a real
opportunity to improve trade
relations between Libya and
the Umted States.
Allan Grant, president of
the American Farm Bureau
Federation, represented
U.S. agriculture as one of 100
Americans invited to par
ticipate in the first Arab-
American Dialogue. About
200 Arabs from most of the
Arab nations attended.
Grant said he sensed a
“great deal of animosity”
among the Arabs over the
Israeli-Egyptian talks at
Camp David.
“While they are vigorously
opposed to the Camp David
talks,” Grant said, “the
Libyans want to build a
relationship with the U.S. to
increase trade and get in
creased technological in
formation.”
He reported that the
Libyan leader, Muammar
Quadafi offended many of
the Americans in a speech in
which he labeled Americans
as “terrorists” because the
US. has air strips
throughout the world,
maintains the
Mediterranean fleet and
produces and “controls” a

terrorists
large part ot tne surplus food
of the world.
As one of two American
panelists in an economic
discussion, Grant prefaced
his remarks with: “We have
furnished over 80 per cent of
the food aid to the world for a
great number of years and
continue to do so. We do not
feel that is a terrorist ac
tivity.”
As evidence that Libya
wants increased trade with
the U.S. Grant was told that
the Arab nation would open a
trade with the US. Grant
was told that the Arab nation
would open a trade office in
Washington, D. C. in the
near future.
