The MFA soybean plant runs at 50 percent capacity due to boxcar shortages from the Norfolk and Western strike. Six empty cars promised for today keep it going, with meals shipped by truck to local mills. Grain dealers warn the Southeast poultry industry faces corn shortages and potential economic impact as elevators close. Labor Department talks on rail strikes are recessed indefinitely amid ongoing deadlock.

Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird told Legion delegates the government may draft about 100000 men over the next 12 months, a 16 percent cut from current rates. If reached, monthly inductions would average about 8300, down from earlier forecasts. He noted 84200 men had been drafted in the first half of the year and warned Congress could stall action on renewal of the draft authority.
