William Holley of Mexico, vice president and general manager for Wetterau Foods, Inc., told Jim Swartz of the Kansas City Star that high food prices hinge on a bumper farm crop. If production falters, consumers may find groceries thin on shelves rather than cheaper cans of tomatoes or ketchup. Mexico serves as a wholesaler to IGA.

Hospital Group Seeks Higher Rates Amid Stalled Costs
American Hospital Association president John A. McMahan told the Midwest Health Congress that hospital prices have stayed at 1972 levels while suppliers may raise costs under Phase 3. He urged Nixon policy changes to curb rising health care costs, noting a 15 percent cost rise since 1963 with inflation and increased service volume driving most of the increase.
