Meat Plants Get Critical Report WASHINGTON (AP) Two federal agencies dramatizing their efforts to clean up food supplies, have issued new food processing sanitation standards and a report critical of many meat plants. The Food and Drug Administration issued the federal government's first industrywide sanitation standards for food -some mandatory, some just recommended. The Agriculture Department put out the survey which showed that in the 50 states and Puerto Rico no meat plant selling its product within its own state was found to meet acceptable standards in all categories of inspection after slaughter or during processing.

The FDA regulations, effective i in 30 days, cover such items as the plant and grounds, equipment, employes' sanitary facilities and packaging or storage of food products. A spokesman for the FDA denied the timing of the announcement of rules was triggered by consumer advocate Ralph Nader's April 17 charge that elements in the food industry sell contaminated products to an unwary public.

Heavy Rains Up Flood Danger By The Associated Press Predictions of high winds and possible heavy rains over the weekend have shaken the calm confidence of officials in the Quad Cities, an industrial area of Illinois and Iowa along the flooding Mississippi River. Until the U.S. Weather Bureau came out with the bleak predictions, flood-control officials and the Army Corps of Engineers in the area felt secure behind the high dikes the engineers estimated have avertd $1 billion damage along the Mississippi.

Winds of 23 to 35 miles an hour could cause wave action that would raise the water level another half a foot or more, the engineers said. And, there is fear that heavy rains would undermine and weaken the earthen dikes. The flood crest of the Mississippi reached the Quad Cities area Friday, carrying 144.7 billion gallons a day- double the river's normal volume. Around-the-clock patrols were in use on the levees and dikes under a federal flood prevention program called "Operation Foresight." The patrols extend upstream almost 100 miles to Dubuque, Iowa, with the ground watch by peace officers and National Guardsmen augumented by helicopters. President Nixon declared Iowa a major disaster area Friday and allocated $750,000 initially for assistance, including repair or replacement of public facilities damaged by the flooding.
