Polls Favor Johnson Across Broad Business Audience
A recent Big Money Presidential Poll by Finance surveyed 241 top executives from 400 leading U.S. companies. It found Nixon leading among respondents at 31.5 percent, Rockefeller at 23.6 percent, and Johnson at 11.2 percent, while a majority still expected Johnson to win. Respondents across eight business sectors showed Nixon favored in six, Rockefeller strongest among investment bankers, and Rockefeller seen as likely champion by many, yet Johnson remained the presumed eventual winner.

Post Office pay raise tied to higher stamp and rate hikes
The House Post Office Committee links a larger civil service raise to a postal rate increase, boosting first class stamps to six cents and airmail to ten cents. The plan estimates $885 million yearly revenue but gifts taxpayers and users with higher costs as a 4.5 percent general rise clashes with a 6 percent postal workers raise and a 5 percent rise next year. Postmaster General O'Brien praises the bill, while President Johnson signals possible veto, arguing the package shifts costs to users and may worsen the deficit beyond the current $618 million projection.

Prices Down for Nebraska Farmers in August 1967
Prices received by Nebraska farmers for all commodities in August 1967 were seven percent lower than a year earlier while the US decline was five and a half percent. Lower prices for wheat, corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, hogs and eggs drove most of the drop, and despite a three percent rise in production costs, net farm income will be down again from last year.

Bargaining Essential To Farmers Future Welfare
Farm Bureau notes price and income squeeze on farmers since World War I and urges producer controlled bargaining associations. Such groups would negotiate quality and price with buyers before production, sharing contracted supply. Time, geography, and producer realization are key hurdles before any major commodity bargaining.
