12A Minneapolis Tribune March 29, 1972 Correction Pictures of two Minneapolis agency officials were transposed in the Minneapolis Tribune Monday.

"Our truck record may not be as good as you would like on some things, but I think it's an unfair indictment to suggest that we're in an unholy alliance with big business," Lanzillotti replied. "Your approach is the big-business approach," Meany said. "I don't think so," Lanzillotti said. Another commissioner, J. Wilson Newman, pointed out what he called inaccuracies in Meany's testimony and said it made him wonder about other things Meany had said.

"I don't give a damn how you view my other remarks," Meany said. "That's obvious," Newman said. Two witnesses, Rep. Paul Findley, and Kenneth Naden, a spokesman for the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, urged the commission to reject controls on food prices. Prices of raw agricultural products presently are not controlled.

The food-price issue has been building up ever since Mr. Nixon slapped controls on wages and prices last summer. "Raw" agricultural commodities are exempt from the controls, and recent sharp retail price rises have focused attention on meat, poultry, and other food prices and profit margins.

In February, government Controls Continued from page 1 A tion defeat in June 1970 "by the British housewives" was ample evidence of what runaway inflation could mean to a political party in power. Gullander, contradicting Meany's testimony that corporate profits had advanced while wages had stood still, said after-tax business profits had risen only 2 percent in the last six years, while wages hud risen 63 percent. "It would appear ludicrous to maintain that the primary problem is to restrain the pricing practices of business lest they earn undue profits," Gullander said. "Clearly, the focus of the problem is the increase in employee compensation." Last week Meany and three other union leaders resigned from the Pay Board, prompting President Nixon to say they had tried to "torpedo and sink" anti-inflation efforts. Meany said it wasn't labor's fault.

"We participated in Phase II in good faith," he said. "We tried. We didn't fail Phase II, but we are absolutely convinced Phase II failed America." Meany rummaged about in cardboard cartons that aides had brought and produced cans of fruit cocktail and wax beans, boxes of yellow cake mix, and envelopes of powdered diet drink. Meany said the seemingly identical cans of fruit cocktail purchased at the same time at the same store showed different weights of contents. One can showed 17.2 ounces and the other 16 ounces.

Meany said this showed food sellers were trying to beat price regulations by decreasing the amount in packages. Similar decreases showed up for seemingly identical containers of cake mix, beans and diet drink, he said. This, Meany said, showed the difficulty of enforcing price rules. "What I'm trying to point out, Mr. Chairman, is the utter impossibility of doing this job with the staff you have." Advertisement Advertisement PALLMALL 19 mg.

Prices Continued from page 1A it will hold hearings on meat prices next month at the same time the administration's Price Commission is scheduled to have public hearings on the subject. More fuel was also added to the food-price controversy yesterday by AFL-CIO President George Meany, who handed the Price Commission a survey made by the labor federation. He said the survey, covering food prices in 38 selected stores in 13 states, showed marked rises during February in a wide variety of food prices. (The largest increase list- People Brody Colombo Ulster Continued from page 1A for Ulster have been be-t rayed from London," Prime Minister Brian Faulkner told the rain-soaked crowd in an apper-ance on a balcony of the Stormont Parliament.

"We share the resentment you feel and we understand the bewilderment of the people in Ulster." What many Protestants bluntly fear is that the British takeover of Northern Ireland is a first step toward the unification of Ulster with the Irish Republic to the south, where 95 percent of the population is Catholic. The Protestants feel that Britain will eventually turn weary of the Northern Ireland problem and negotiate to unify north and south. Faulkner, who announced his resignation last Friday, is expected to leave office later in the week when the Westminister Parliament approves emergency legislation authorizing direct rule and suspending the Stormont Parliament for a year. Faulkner spoke sadly and in a voice close to cracking. "The government of Ulster is about to pass, temporarily at least, into other hands," said the whitehaired, 51-year-old prime minister.

"We stood firm and we stood together. We did what we believed to be right. "We have taken our stand. We believe our record over the last few days and as a whole should be judged by the country and by posterity." He concluded with a prayer. "I want to express the Hartke Bobby Fischer, champion, as one he is willing Boris Spassky championship.

Food prices alone went up 1.7 percent the biggest one-month rise in over a decade with meat, poultry and fish prices accounting for 70 percent of that rise. Connally's meeting with food-chain executives and the Cost of Living Council probe of profits and margins followed Mr. Nixon's own vow last week to stop the rise in food prices.

Connally will meet this afternoon with top men from 12 chains chosen "at random" on a geographical basis, a spokesman a i include such large chains as Safeway, A National Tea, Giant and Grand Union. White House press secretary Ronald Ziegler said Connally will tell the retailers that "we are going to be watching their profit margins and their pricing policies." Ziegler added that "if the retailers do not deal with this independently, we will have to determine what steps must be taken to bring the prices down." Yesterday's announcement by the Cost of Living Council, Mr. Nixon's policy-making body in the anti-inflation field, sounded the same notes. The council said take these actions: it will "Beginning immediately, intensive compliance surveys will be conducted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on several large, vertically integrated meat packing organizations to determine whether price violations are occurring in the total meat delivery chain from on-the-hoof to retail." "Several" meat wholesalers are being investigated to "assure compliance with current regulations," and additional surveys of "a number of major food chains" will provide more meat-pricing information. There will be "careful scrutiny" of quarterly reports big food chains" to isolate instances of excessive profits which may be attributable to illegal mark-ups," and the IRS will be ordered to probe "all possible Chairman Graham Purcell, D-Texas, of the House livestock subcommittee said yesterday he will call in farmers, packers and retailers for three days of hearings to "put the facts about meat prices on the table." The hearings will be held April 10, 11 and 13 bracketing the April 12 hearing scheduled by the Price Commission on the same subject.

The House panel will try to "put this in perspective," Purcell said. He said he does not believe anyone in the meat supply chain from farm to market is making "unconscionable now. In presenting the AFL-CIO price survey yesterday, Meany said it included evidence of price increases ranging up to 29 percent for hamburger, 86 percent for whole fryers chickens, 44 percent for chuck roast, 68 percent for beef liver, 8 percent for milk, and 33 percent for eggs. The report, which measured price rises during the month of February in the surveyed stores, also showed substantial increases in a wide variety of canned and processed foods, toilet items and soaps, Meany said.

In an angry voice, Faulkner said "we utterly reject" the unification of Ireland.

"We will not separate from the United Kingdom because the United Kingdom belongs to us just as much as we belong to England. We want peace but it must be a just and honorable peace." Faulkner told the crowd that Protestants should not cooperate with a commission representing all shades of opinion that will be set up to advise White-law on running Northern Ireland. "We will refuse cooperation with any undemocratic commission," Faulkner said. Moments later, William Craig, a former political enemy of Faulkner, stepped to the balcony to prolonged applause. "We and our political friends have had different attitudes," he said.

"But our prime minister did his best and he was shabbily treated." "We have a great responsibility," he added. "Do not fall to the level of the evil men." The next steps for the Protestant militants seem hazy. A civil disobedience campaign probably will be announced within days, but there is now a feeling of uncertainty about Whi-telaw and how, in fact, Ulster will change under direct rule. Whitelaw is known to have assured Protestants from Northern Ireland in the Westminster Parliament that they would be consulted on steps to be taken in the province. I 7 7 77 jf 'r A I MS a.
