day when news from Australia suggested that China trimmed a three-year wheal agreement with that country. ! J. P. Cass, chairman of the Australian Wheat Board, said Australian and Chinese officials met in Melbourne last week and sel prices on 37.3 million bushels, which were mart of a three-year wheal pact agreed on in 1974.
Mr. Cass valued the agreement at S15C million. However, officials from the People's Republic of China didn't exercise an optior to buy up to 67.2 million bushels, an ex oorter said, presumably because they dicin': need that much grain.
Earlier last week China canceled a U S wheat'order of 22 4 million busneis. Russia! officials who also placed orders for 37.3 mil .ion bushels of Australian wheat in 197 have been talking with Australian Whea Board officials dunng the past severa
weeks. So far there hasn't been any new from the meetings.
Russia has already canceled some whea

The appeals panel, consisting of retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Tom C. Clark and judges Frederick van Pelt Bryan and Kevin T. Diiffy. had delayed imposition of the OSHA standards until they could rule on the merits of the industry appeal. In deny ing the appeal, they ruled that the regula tions could go into effect in 60 days.
Ralph L. Harding, president of the Soci ety of the Plastics Industry, declined full comment on the ruling until the SPI and in
dustry lawyers have reviewed it. But he said. "We're shocked at the news and the Implication for the industry."
If the industry decides to continue its legal action against the vinyl chloride stan dards. it can ask the full court of appeals to review the special panel's decision, or it can go to the Supreme Court. "Our subsequent course of action hasn't yet been deter mined." Mr. Harding said in a statement.
The companies that participated in the appeal are the Hooker Chemical Corp. sub sidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corp., Union Carbide Corp.. Air Products & Chemi cals Inc.. B F. Goodrich Co.. Uniroyal Inc.. Dow Chemical Co.. Firestone Tire & Rubber
Co. and Tenneco Inc. The companies are the major U.S. manufacturers and users of vmyl chloride.
