President Ford failed to secure AFL-CIO chief Meany's agreement to load grain for the Soviet Union after a face to face talk.

Kissinger Returns to Egypt With Draft Sinai Pact
Secretary of State Kissinger arrived in Alexandria with a partially agreed interim Sinai pact draft between Egypt and Israel. Sadat greeted him and said the agreement aims for peace, admitting only nuances remain. Israeli and Egyptian officials cited remarkable progress and a race to finish negotiations within days. The pact would withdraw Israel from the Gidi and Mitla passes and cede Abu Rudeis oilfields, with talks focusing on obstruction points such as economic warfare limits and linking to a Syria accord, plus possible U.S. technicians at surveillance posts.

Rhodesian talks fail blame game stalls peace talks
Rhodesia's white rulers and black nationalist opponents accused each other of wrecking the Victoria Falls talks on the nation's political future. Prime Minister Ian Smith said ANC demands would let exiled terrorists return, while ANC leader Bishop Abel Muzorewa blamed Smith for obstructing dialogue and urged negotiations with chiefs and moderates. The talks, held in a railcar on the Zambezi frontier, aimed to avert further guerrilla escalation as the white minority regime seeks a path to majority rule.
