Embargo on soybeans shocks markets and Japan
The Nixon administration ordered an immediate embargo on high protein soybeans and other oilseeds to curb livestock feed costs. Agriculture Secretary Butz called it drastic. Dent said it lasts until next fall’s harvest. The action, debated by officials, may save about 30 million bushels, worth roughly 300 million dollars, and could affect imports, prices, and food supply in the United States and Japan.

Black adoption conference urges self-reliant care for children
MEMPHIS AP Black scholars urge a new framework for evaluating adoptable Black children and families saying the old system and white agencies cannot provide welfare. Leon Chestang of the University of Chicago notes the past informal extended family care has changed with economy and education. Benjamin Finley of Afro-American Family and Community Services argues white parents should not adopt Black children, citing identity and community ties as essential for self-realization and belonging.

Clinic moves to new $266,000 building in Marianna
Lee County Cooperative Clinic staff begin moving into a new building in Marianna, a $266,000 facility funded by the federal Office of Economic Opportunity. The move, starting Wednesday, will take about a week and a half with the clinic slated to open about two weeks later. It was started as a pilot health project by Volunteers in Service to America in 1970 and now faces uncertain funding as OEO is set to be dismantled. The facility includes nine examining rooms, multiple offices for medics, dental offices, labs, an x ray room, minor surgery and suturing area, plus reception and admin spaces. The clinic’s future funding depends on OEO fate and potential support from HEW and foundations. The text briefly notes a North Carolina April resolution for independence from Great Britain.
