Meat boycott grows as prices spark nationwide protests
United Press reports housewives and shoppers pressure Capitol and grocers over soaring meat costs. In Spokane about 25 women picketed a local supermarket while LAMP leader Mrs Olson cites beef at 1.19 a pound, down from a week ago. Nationwide organizers, including Barbara Shuttleworth and Jileen Heats, push an April boycott as Rep. Cotter and others voice support. Officials warn short term price shifts may not curb inflation, with Butz noting some effect while cautioning a return to former cheap costs is unlikely. Separate incidents include cattle rustling in Orlando and a Portland horsemeat market surge, illustrating parallel profit shifts from high meat prices.

He notes beef prices fell three cents recently and attributes some effect to consumer cuts, while urging higher farm production and curbs on inflation and congressional spending.

Cost of living hike for poor will raise food stamps
The Agriculture Department announced that about 12 million people on government food stamps will get a cost of living increase next July 1. The rise will be between 4 and 6 percent, costing roughly $1.0 billion annually, with total program costs near $2.7 billion starting July 1. Some congressmen argue the increase should be higher due to expected price gains, while changes in food stamp rules may limit or negate raises for higher income families.
