Open meat imports suggested
WASHINGTON (UPI) -A
former economic adviser to
President Nixon believes one
direct way to curb the high cost
of meat would be to lift all
import restrictions on meat
produced overseas.
Hendrik S. Houthakker, once
a member of the Council of
Economic Advisers, also indi
cated that Nixon’s own econom
ic policy, not the much
maligned “middleman,” bore
much of the blame for current
consumer complaints.
Houthakker spoke to a Price
Commission public hearing on
the volatile food price issue
Wednesday following eight
hours of testimony from
farmers, grocers, housewives
and congressmen.
Each of the witnesses blamed
someone else for spiraling food
costs and the commissioners
were obviously relieved when
Houthakker, now an economics
professor at Harvard, took an
entirely new tack.
“Rising food prices are the
result of an imbalance between
supply and demand and this
imbalance is attributable in
part to general economic policy
and in part to unwise legislation
...” he said.
“The only effective way of
preventing runaway food prices
is to increase the supply,”
Houthakker added. One way
would be to eliminate meat
Bus case
parents
guilty
PONTIAC, Mich. (UPI)-Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Merchant were
found guilty of child neglect
Wednesday for refusing to have
their 13-year-old daughter bused
crosstown under provisions of a
court-ordered desegregation
program.
The verdict was directed by
Oakland County Probate Court
Judge Norman Barnard, who
pointed out that the couple had
admitted violating the state’s
compulsory school attendance
law by keeping their daughter,
Cari, home from school.
“I must apply the law,”
Barnard said. “Where there are
no factual issues to submit to
the jury, they have no duty to
perform.”
However, the judge in a post
trial conference with the
Merchants and attorneys for
both sides, agreed to an
arrangement whereby Cari
won’t have to attend school in
Pontiac.
“I may have lost the case,
but I won in away,” said
Merchant, a 34-year-old auto
worker. “At least my daughter
won’t be going to school in an
unsafe area.”
Under terms of the agree
ment, the girl will live with a
relative, who was not named,
and attend school somewhere
else in the county.
The child neglect charge
carries no actual penalty for
the defendants.
import quotas, a system which
he said had “little justifica
tion."
Actually, there have been no
formal quotas since 1968.
Instead, each year, the admi
nistration has negotiated volun
tary agreements with beef
producing countries which place
a ceiling on imported meat,
mostly low-grade beef used in
hamburgers and hotdogs.
Lifting these restrictions,
Houthakker said, would in

bring these cuts within reach of
low-income persons. Hard
pressed housewives would be
pleased.
But it would have only a
“negligible” effect on the price
of steaks, roasts and more
expensive cuts that are the
mainstay of the domestic meat
industry. Cattlemen, therefore,
should not object too much.

because a smaller part of the
average family’s budget goes
for food now than it did 20
years ago.
Houthakker called it a
specious argument. It “does not
prove that food is cheap; all it
proves is that we have a high
level of real income,” he said.
“The question is now how
farm prices compare with the
past but what can be done now
to keep them in line without
hurting the legitimate interests
of farmers."
