Packers File Suit To Bar Change
Seventeen meat packers representing about 80 percent of the baby beef market sue in federal court in Dallas over proposed changes in meat grading standards. They warn the new good grade will raise cattle costs by 3.8 million dollars yearly, push ranchers and feedlots to longer feeding cycles, and may downgrade much of their baby beef from good to standard making it unsaleable to chain stores.

Magazine Argues For Its Contest In Missouri Supreme Court
In Jefferson City Missouri an attorney for Reader's Digest urged the state Supreme Court that prohibiting the magazine sweepstakes would grossly interfere with the U S postal system. A spokesman for the attorney general called the sweepstakes an illegal lottery and said it should not be mailed. The case covered about 10 000 mailings to Missourians in 1969 and 1970 while the Digest contends federal law preempts state control. Chief Justice Donnelly criticized the suit noting the irony of a decent publication facing a mail scandal.
