increase from page 19 to increase in division from 1951 to 1971 for the American family was 222 per cent. The increase in the cost of services was 250 per cent : in the cost non-food items (which account for 28 per cent of the so-called food cost) and in the cost of food, 178 per cent.
According to David Stroud, president of the National Livesock and Meat Board, any large-scale consumer meet boycott might have been outlawed in reduced supplies and higher prices.
Siroud said that livestock growers have been increasing production to meet an increasing demand.
"However," he said, "consumer demand for beef has been increasing at a 10 per cent annual rate, while beef production has grown at an even faster rate. Disposable income has moved up about 8 per cent in the past year, and some of the resultant increased spending is finding its way to the meat counter, which always buys more consumer purchasing power increases."
The increased production should result in a leaving off of retail prices ultimately. Stroud said, unless the cycle of production is interrupted by bad weather or crop failures because of disease or obstacles as meadless days, boycots or price controls on raw agricultural products."
Cattle raisers have been hurt by an abnormally harsh winter. High death rates and short supplies of feed that resulted in high feed prices mean the cattle feeder will have to receive high prices for his animals to recoup losses.
"I bought 500 head of cattle at $20 a head last fall," says Berns. "Twenty died during the winter. That's $4,000 lost right there, and about 10,000 pounds of meat that won't be the supermarket. I will have to make $50 a head on the rest to make any kind of a profit."
"People living in the cities are two, three or four generations removed from farm life. They have no knowledge of or concern with the farmer's problems.
The "saddest thing I see in this whole affair is that the rural people are being alienated from the city people. The average farmer doesn't make as much money as the average city dweller. You can tell that by looking around at any gathering of farmers. People who have learned to live economically, and they're in love with the land and the life.
"But farmers are being made to feel like second-class citizens, I'm used to working for next to nothing, so I'll probably do it all my life, because I like the business.
"A farm the size of mine produces food for approximately 60 people. Now if city people are going to complain about paying me a decent income to produce food for them, I don't know if I'm going to work so hard to feed the other 59 people."

Watergate
WASHINGTON—The Watergate grand juryWednesday heard former White House aides Dwight Chapin and Gordon Strachan, both linked in various accounts to alleged political spying and sabotage. The federal grand jury also questioned California lawyer Donald Segretti, who allegedly tried to recruit at least three lawyers to disrupt the president's campaigns last year. As the grand jury investigation of the Watergate affair, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., said the way President Nixon has handled it threatens to cost Republican votes, cash and maybe the

OEO Decision
WASHINGTON—A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the termination of the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) was illegal. U.S. District Court Judge William B. Jones, acting on three cases, ordered acting director Howard J. Phillips to retrain from a law school in Delaware to serve in Community Action Agencies. The suit was brought by West Central Missouri Rural Development Corporation and a number of unions of government employees.
to produce the maximum yield per acre, operating expenses would be so much lower that they could actually make more money, even though they produced less, Berns said. But we wouldn't be producing enough to feed 100,000 people, what food prices would be then," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) -The government Wednesday granted the auto industry an additional year to meet tough 1975 exhaust pollution standards.
However, the government said it would impose interim restrictions on the amounts of polluters permitted in 1975 model cars and the number of other standards for cars sold in California.
William D. Ruckelsbah, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and Jennifer B. Kline,
General Motors and Ford Motor Co. said the interim restrictions would be difficult to mitigate.
All domestic and most foreign car makers cited technical and production difficulties with the catalytic converter in asking for the delay. The catalytic converter is a cannister-like device attached to the auto to insure cleaner burning.
Ruckelshaus said use of the catalytic converter by automakers was the best option.
The interim standardrs will require the installation of catalysts on all domestic cars sold in California and on some models sold nationwide in 1975. Ruckselman said,
California was given the tougher restriction, he said, because it has the most aggressive policies.
He estimated the catalyst requirement would not result in a rise in sticker price.

Ellsberg told first how he had become privy to secret war information that even the President had not seen and how he had prevented a bombing of the State Department and White House to advise on war plans and executive decisions.
He wrote a section on the 1961 decisions of President John F. Kennedy, he said, but the president also admitted that he was not mentioned in the trial indictment.
Then he told how he had volunteered to accompany one-time CIA supergen. Edwin Landside to Vietnam in 1965 to assess the effectiveness of his keep villagers in the countryside from defecting to the Communists. On that trip, he said, he began to see the false reports he had made about potential success, and he began to see the true prospect of failure.
