Meany Defends Grain Boycott Amid Criticism
AFL-CIO President George Meany defends the grain shipment boycott to the Soviet Union as targeting government action and commodity speculators, not farmers. He warns critics seek to split labor from farmers and says the move will curb inflation by protecting consumers. The administration estimates a 1.5 percent rise in food prices from sales and judges have allowed continued loading of ships while legal issues proceed. Meany vows expansion of the boycott as the harvest reaches Great Lakes ports and urges Ford to ensure a strong U S shipping role in grain transport.
