Meat price ceilings fail to halt boycott call
Organizers of the meat boycott say they will press a week long consumer action despite Nixon’s price ceilings on beef pork and lamb. Leaders of Fight Inflation Together and other consumer groups insist prices remain too high and will continue with targeted boycotts. Meat producers and cattlemen groups criticize the ceilings while noting price determination occurs at store level.

Illinois House Panel Backs Scenic Rivers Bill Amid High Cost
The Illinois House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee voted 12 to 9 to approve an amended Scenic Rivers bill raising cost estimates to 100 million dollars. The measure would require the Conservation Department to compensate landowners or buy land outright to place rivers under state control along about 300 miles of waterways. Local scenic boards would regulate land use while the state handles acquisitions. The rivers include the Lower Fox Kishwaukee Vermilion Shoal Creek Kankakee Big Muddy Apple Mackinaw Rock segment of the Mississippi north of Quincy and Kaskaskia and Lusk Creek.
