George Meany spect to human rights was disappointing (in 1976). "The unwarranted linking of Zionism with racism was an impediment to serious consideration of human rights matters and the United States continued to resist it by all possible means," Carter said. "In a number of cases, failure to take effective action belied the commitment to human rights that all U.N. members have accepted." Carter praised the United Nations for serving a valuable forum for the discussion of politi cul disputes even where progress on Ihe underlying issues was not always possible." In leaving the ILO, Carter decided not to lift a notice of withdrawal filed two years ago by the Gerald R. Ford administration.

Henry A. Kissin ger, then secretary of state, said there was "disregard of due process" in ILO proceedings, a "selective concern for human rights" and un "erosion of tripartite representation." Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter national security, adviser, and Secretary of State Cyrus Vance had urged extension of the United States' 43 years of ILO membership for another year to give West European allies time 10 try to make changes in the ILO. Both advisers were concerned that withdrawing might weaken the U.N. structure and leuve the Kremlin in charge, with the West Europeans on the defensive. But the AFL-CIO.

the Labor Department and the Chamber of Commerce told Carter the ILO no longer serves its original purpose. When the U.S. pullout was announced, Ihe Chamber of Commerce called it "the only logical decision." When the ILO was formed in 1919 under the League of Nations, government, labor and employer representatives from each country were independent delegations. But since the ILO be-cume the first specialized agency of the United Nations In I94H, communists and some Third World stutes have blurred this distinction. Last spring the ILO shelved a report by Independent Jurists condemning human rights violations in eight countries, including the Soviet Union und Uganda.

Georgia farmers pledge strike ATLANTA (AP) Georgia farmers will strike if no one responds to their problems by the time a "tractorcade" is held In President Carter's hometown, says a spokesman for a new state farmers' group. "We will stop selling und we will stop buying," said Tommy Carter. Carter, not related to the president, organized a tractor parade last week in Alma, where he raises tobacco, cows and hogs. It drew an estimated 3,000 participants and nearly 1,000 tractors. Farmers suy 3.000 tractors and thousunds of demonstrators, including many from Florida and South Carolina, are expected in Statesboro.

(AP) United Nations diplomats and officials expressed shock and dismay Tuesday over the U.S. decision to withdraw from the International Labor Organization (ILO) the oldest specialized agency in the United Nations. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim called the move "a retrogressive step" from the principle of collective responsibility. "The U.S. decision is all-the more disappointing In the light of the strong support by President Carter and his administration for the United Nations," Waldheim said in a statement.

He defended the work of the ILO, saying it has "justly received recognition for the unique and unrivalled contribution" it has made to social justice and welfare for workers throughout the world. Both Waldheim and ILO Director Francis Blanchard of France expressed hope the United States would soon rejoin the ILO. Blanchard said he was "saddened and su-prlsed" by America's departure from the 135-na-tion organization but lie remained convinced that "the only way to strengthen the global community in the field of labor. to wage the battle within and not outside this community." Blanchard, speaking at a news conference denied U.S. charges the ILO had abandoned its original mandate.

"The ILO is not a hospital or a monastery and, of course, there are certain political elements because it's an organization of this world," he said. Carter said America acted because the ILO was no longer committed to help the world's worker and the United States "remains ready to return whenever the ILO is again true to its proper principles and procedures." Many American labor leaders and industrialists have opposed the ILO in recent years, accusing it of becoming a propaganda tool of the Communist bloc and Third World countries. Carter's decision should not have been much of a surprise. He took the action by refusing to lift a notice of withdrawal filed two years ago by the administration of former President Gerald R. Ford.

But the withdrawal stirred the international community, and even the Soviet news agency Tass attacked in a dispatch from Moscow. It said the White House action "was taken under pressure of the reactionary leadership of the AFL-CIO trade union confederation and international Zionist circles, angered in particular by the fact that the policy If Israel was often strongly citicized by the ILO and the Palestine Liberation Organization was admitted (with observer status) to the ILO." In Jerusalem, Israel's ILO delegate Arieh Gur-EI said political attacks against Israel by the ILO were one reason for the U.S. withdrawal, but added that Israel might not take the same course. A spokesman for the West German Labor Ministry in Bonn said the government "regrets but respects" the U.S. decision and priority must be given now "to concentrate the work of the organization on its traditional social-political tasks" and win America back.

Carter's decision marked the first U.S. withdrawal from a United Nations agency since the world organization was founded in 1945. As he was withdrawing U.S. support from the ILO, Carter criticized the United Nations sharp-, ly for a "disappointing" record on human rights, U.S. grocery prices dipped in October but he pledged his full supp'oit (o the world organization.

The ILO is a U.N. agency aimed at improving world labor conditions, living standards and economic and social stability. The agency has been a main source of statistics on hours, pay and labor safety. In recent years, it set up technical training courses in former colonial areas of Africa and Asia. It received the Nobel Peace Prize on its 50th anniversary in 1959.

Carter's decision will weaken the ILO. The U.S. contribution to the ILO has been $20 million a year, about one-fourth of Its budget. Some diplomats, including some of Carter's own lop foreign policy advisers, say it might weaken the United Nations as a whole. "It reminds me of the 1930s when the German pullout -marked the beginning of the end of the League of Nations," said a European diplomat in Geneva, where the ILO has its headquarters.

"It's a stupid decision," declared a West European diplomat at the United Nations in New York. Carter countered: "This decision, I think, is the 'right deision." He made the statement during a photo session In the Oval Office. The president's decision represents a victory for business and labor over diplomats In administration councils. The AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which are the labor and industry representatives in the U.S.

delegation to the ILO, favor pulling out. The State Department, on the other hand, wanted to stay in. AFL-CIO President George Meany, who told reporters about Carter's decision before it was announced, said he was not particularly pleased that it had to be made. But he said It will have no practical effect on the United States. "I hope that somewhere down the road things will change so that we can get back in," Meany said.

Ihe president reaffirmed his support for the United Nations in his annual report to Congress on this country's participation In U.N. activities. "I have pledged my administration to full support for the work of the United Nations," Carter said. But he added: "The U.N.'s record with re By the Associated Prest Coffee prices took another drop last month offsetting increases for other items and helping cut overall grocery bills slightly, an Asso ciated Press marketbasket survey shows. The latest decreases left the cost of pound of ground coffee In most areas at or less well above the price at the start of the year, but $1 and more below the record levels of last spring.

The AP drew up a random list of 15 purchased food and nonfood items, checked the price at one supermarket In each of 13 cities on March 1, 1973," and has re-checked on or about the start 6f each succeeding month. The latest survey showed that the market-basket bill increased during October at the checklist store in six cities up an average 1.9 percent. The bill decreased at the checklist store in seven cities down an average 2 percent. On an overall basis, the marketbasket bill was about a tenth of 1 percent less at the start of November than it was a month earlier. During September, the marketbasket bill decreased at the checklist store in 10 cities and increased in only three, for an overall drop of eight-tenths of 1 percent.

Comparing current prices with those at the start of thd year, the AP found that the marketbasket bill had increased at the checklist store in every city, up an average of 8 per- cent. When coffee was removed from the list, however, the increase over the 10-month period was only 2.3 percent. The latest AP survey showed that the price of a pound of coffee fell at the checklist store in 10 cities, with the drops ranging from 3 to 10 percent. The survey also found decreases in the cost of eggs, which dropped in price at the checklist store in seven cities. Pork chops and butter increased, however.

Consumers with a sweet tooth are in for some bad news. The AP found that the 14' 2-ounce bag of Nabisco Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies is being replaced by a 13-ounce bag, with no price drop expected. A spokesman for Nabisco blamed soaring cocoa prices for the move. He said the com-, pany was faced with three alternatives raise the price of the 14'2-ounce bag, lower the quality or cut the size and try to keep the price the same. Officials chose the latter course.

As of the end of October, the checklist stores in all the AP survey cities except Chicago still had the 14'2-ounce size. In Chicago, the larger bag had been replaced by the smaller one. The price remained the same 99 cents. The price per ounce was about 12 percent higher. The equivalent price of a 14'2-ounce bag would be $1.10.

The move by Thomas "Teddy" Gleason, who also halted his talks with the New York Shipping Association, largest employer In the current negotiations, was a setback in the efforts to end the East und Gulf coast strike against container ships, now In its second month. Fven so, Wayne Horvitt. director' of the Federal Mediation and Concillutioh Service, said he still sav. iv-d for a Tuft-Hurtlev injunction which would send longshoremen buck to work for an no-day cooling off period and free container ships now stranded in American und tu-ropean ports. The dispute chiefly involves Job security provisions for longshoremen who are no longer needed because cargo is now shipped in truck-sized steel boxes that eliminate Ihe repeated manual handling of goods In transit.

Prior to Gleason's canceling ihe bargaining session, the union's 130-member wage-scale committee, which Is needed to act on uny major contract item affecting dock workers, was to huve assembled from all ports from Maine through Texas.
