Coffee boycott has caused very little price change NEW YORK (AP) — The cof fee boycott spreading to parts of the nation has caused little price change but has brewed much confusion over the cause of spiraling costs. Some observers have blamed the high prices on a shortage of coffee beans. Others have blamed higher export taxes for forcing the price up. And the announcement Wednesday that Brazil more than doubled its coffee export earnings in 1976 while exporting only about 7 per cent more cof fee prompted speculation of conspiracy and market manipulation. Some coffee industry spokes men say a conspiracy is imagi nary. But the prices are not. In 77 FORD TRUCKS CHEAP!

Prices in Austria doubled in 1976 in three installments. In Israel, where the Consumer Au thority is urging a coffee boy- , cott, the price is now about >4-50 a pound, up from $1.68 a year ago. Here is a breakdown of the major areas now raised in the i current debate on coffee prices: Why are prices rising? The 1975 killer frost that de stroyed many of Brazil’s coffee i trees, which take five years to be replenished, is only one of the , natural and political disasters ] being blamed for the current situation. The frost coincided with civil ( war in Angola, cutting produc- j tion there by two-thirds, an j earthquake in Guatemala, dis- ■ ruption in Uganda and flooding | in Colombia. “We can’t blame the coffee producers for what’s been hap- i pening to prices,” said Joan | Braden, consumer affairs ad- ( Cancer varies geographically viser in the U.S. State Depart ment. Because of the worldwide supply situation, some produc ing nations have raised their export taxes to keep the coffee at home. Brazil, for instance, boosted its tax from $55 to SIOO a bag since Dec. 20. Is there a shortage? A spokesman for the Folger Coffee Co. in Cincinnati, a ma jor roaster of green coffee beans, said, “although the Bra zilian frost did hurt the crop, there is no worldwide shortage. We can see no good reason why green coffee prices should be so high.” William Korbin, president of Acer & Korbin Coffee Importers of Norwalk, Conn., agreed there is no shortage. But he said neither is there is a huge surplus of coffee to keep the price low. Is there manipulation? Charges of market manipula tion to drive up the price of cof fee tend to be discounted by coffee experts. WASHINGTON (AP) - The occurrence of cancer varies ge ographically for nonwhite per sons as well as for whites, a new federal study says. That finding provides further support for theories that cancer risks are linked to local environmental factors. The National Cancer Institute report issued Wednesday said the findings hopefully will en courage researchers to look for local factors that may contrib ute to cancer in specific geo graphic areas. The study covered cancer deaths among nonwhite Ameri cans and is similar to one on whites released in 1975 that also showed geographical dif ferences in cancers. Both are based upon death certificate figures for 35 types of cancer from 1950 through 1969. The studies not only showed that death rates for different cancers vary geographically, but also that incidences of cer tain cancers vary among racial groups. Scientists who wrote the re port said the reasons for these varying rates and geographical distributions were unknown and that more research was needed. The study of nonwhites cov ered more than a half million deaths of blacks, American In dians, Chinese and Japanese. “TRADING POST OF GEORGIA" NEW CARS — USED CARS — MOTOR HOMES DEMONSTRATORS — NEW TRUCKS — USED TRUCKS "WHATEVER IT TAKES—WE GIVE" Corolla 2-Door Sedan Custom ERA 49 MPG-Hiway Celica Liftback GT 36 Months - 36.000 mile warranty available on all new cars 12 months - 12.000 mile warranty available on most used cars 1976 Buick 1976 Buick 1976 Buick 1975 Buick 1975 Buick Electra Coupe.
