Distillers reject hunger link amid food policy debate
Washington AP reports the Distilled Spirits Council rejects claims that cutting liquor boosts grain for the hungry. Malcolm Harris warns a shut down would cost about two million jobs and $10 billion yearly, noting grain is mostly recycled as livestock feed. He stresses moderation and abstinence as personal choices. Also, chicken promotion wins support as beef prices loom, with cattlemen urging canned beef donations to aid the poor.

Nelson Rockefeller's nomination delays have stalled renovation of the Naval Observatory residence chosen as the vice president's home. Navy officials say the project remains in limbo as Rockefeller and his family consider furnishing and design preferences. Congress designated the 1893 house on Foxhall Road and the Mass Ave embassy row property as the vice presidential residence after Nixon signed the bill last July.
