VA Hospitals Face Surging Waiting Lists Across Nation
The AP reports VA hospitals see rising demand as 6 300 patients wait for admission this year, up 3 499 since last December, with 915 000 veterans treated last year and outpatient visits near 8 million. Despite praise for care, many express long waits and staffing issues at facilities like West Roxbury and Hines while some beds and wards remain unused or repurposed.

Prices Expected Higher for Feed Cattle This Fall and Beyond
Kansas State University economist Dr. Robert L. Coppersmith forecasts solid prices for choice fed steers and choice slaughter heifers this fall and into 1972. He projects steer prices around 31 to 33 dollars per hundredweight this fall and into early 1972, with summer 1972 seeing about 34 dollars. Heifers should bring about 1.5 dollars under steers this fall, widening the gap to two dollars or more in early 1972. Overall, slaughter weights and beef production are expected higher in late 1971 and 1972, with beef imports shrinking under 1.16 billion pounds.
