NFO Withholds
Market Products
For Price Raise
HEART TRANSPLANTS:
Blaiberg Experiences Setback;
Kasperak Continues Progress
CORNING, Iowa (P) The
National Farmers Organization,
pledging "no price, no produc-
tion," launched yesterday another
campaign to boost agricultural
prices by withholding farm pro-
ducts from market.
The initial target is grain, to
be followed at later dates by so
called withholding actions on
meat, milk and other farm com-
modities.
President Oren Lee Staley said
s the action "is designed to shut
down the American agricultural
plant ,until our members get a fair
price for their products."
The militant farm group, some-
times called "the angry young
men of agriculture," said it is
urging its members in 30 states
Oto stop selling grain as the be-
ginning step.
The NFO conducted six previous
withholding actions, major ones
on livestock in 1962 and 1964 and
on milk last March, The boycotts
resulted in some violence.
Tons of milk were dumped in
fields and streets as part of the
milk action.
The NFO claimed some success
in each action, but processors
discounted the claims.
Staley said previous actions
have forced processors to recog-
nize the NFO as the bargaining
" agent for its members which has
resulted in some increase in,
prices.
"The prices have always been
higher after an action than they
were before," he said.
Although the NFO claims it has
members in 30 states, the actual
membership number is kept sec-
ret. "This enables us to bargain
with processors from a position of
strength," said Staley.
Staley said non NFO farmers in
all states involved are being asked
to join in the latest boycott "to
protect their interests. I believe
the support will be tremendous."
He said specific instructions
calling for non violence in con-
nection with the action have been
issued to all members.
Asked whether a market boy-
cott at this time would not hurt
farmers even more, Staley re-
plied: "We can't afford to with-
hold-and we can't afford not to.
If we sell at present prices, we
will be the losers anyway, with no,
chance of recovery."
One western Pennsylvania NFO
leader, James Wenzel of Saeger-
town, said the grain actions will
hurt farmers in his area immed-
iately since they must buy grain
for their cattle.
But he said his members are
going along because they expect
prices on milk-their chief pro-
duct-to go up eventually.
The NFO has set a market price
of $1.50 per bushel on corn and
$2.25 per hundredweight on other
feed grains. All other grains would
be held for comparable prices.
The price of corn currently is
about $1.00 per bushel, soybeans
$2.40, wheat about $1.30 and grain
sorghums about $1.90 per hun-
dredweight.
During last year's milk boycott,
the U.S. Justice Department filed
an anti-trust suit against the
NFO, then dropped the suit in
return for an agreement that the
NFO would inform government
officials of any further market
boycotts.
Staley said the Agriculture and
Justice Departments were told in
advance of the latest action.

Despite minor complications in
South Africa the conditions of
the world's heart patients around
the world, continued to improve
yesterday.
Doctors at Groote Schuur Hos-
pital yesterday removed fluid that
developed around the transplant-
ed heart of Dr. Philip Blaiberg
and said they "do not take a ser-
ious view of this complication."
It was a setback, nevertheless,
for the 58-year-old retired dent-
ist, who became the world's third
human heart transplant patient.
A hospital bulletin said "the
patient's condition is not as good
today as yesterday."
The hospital said formation of
fluid in the pericardial sac was
not a sign Blaiberg's' body was
rejecting the alien heart. A mem-
ber of Dr. Christiaan N. Barnard's
transplant team said development
of fluid around the heart was not
uncommon in open heart surgery
cases.
Doctors said Blaiberg is in bet-
ter shape nine days after the
operation than the .first heart
transplant patient, Louis Wash-,
kansky, who developed pneumo-
nia and died 18 days after his
Dec. 3 operation.
Mike Kasperak, who received aG
transplanted h e a r t Saturday
night, continued to improve yes-
terday but remained on the cri-
tical list at the Stanford Medical
Center, his doctors reported.
Heartbeat, blood pressure and
pulse were normal and he was
breathing spontaneously, without
a respirator part of the time.
He was still being fed intra-
vanously, however.
Dr. Norman E. Shumway, chief
of the team of surgeons who
made the transplant, said Kas-
perak's condition would be con-
sidered critical for several weeks
because of the possibility his body
may reject the implanted tissue.
He had suffered a total heart
failure and was dying when the
heart was removed from Mrs.
Virginia White, 43, victim of a
brain hemorrhage, and trans-
planted to Kasperak's body.

Poland Expels U.S. Aide
For Intelligence Activity
WARSAW, Poland (;P) - The
P o lis h' Communist government
charged yesterday that army at-
1 taches of the U.S. and Canadian
embassies were caught "carrying
out intelligence activities." _
The American was ordered to
leave Poland before Jan. 16.
He is Lt. Col. Edward H. Metz-
ger, 42, of Quincy, Mass., on as-
signment in Warsaw since May
1966.
The Polish accusation, carried
by the Polish Press Agency, PAP,
said Metzger and the Canadian
attache, Lt. Col. Kenneth I. Jef-
terson, attempted to photograph
a military establishment on Jan. 4.
In Washington, the State De-
partment's press officer, Robert
J. McCloskey said: "We are con-
sidering what action should be
taken." This could mean expul-
sion of a Polish representative in
the United States.
In 1966, Poland and the United
#States, in a tit for tat exchange,
each expelled three attaches.
An official statement by the
U.S. Embassy, making no mention
of Jefferson, said Metzger was
walking along a major thorough-
fare in Bydgoszcz in northern
Poland, "was apprehended at gun
p point by military personnel, de-
tained against his will, denied
permission to telephone the
American Embassy, and forcibly
searched."
The statement said the U.S.,
government, here and in Wash-
ington, protested this "flagrant
r violation of the immunity of an
American diplomatic officer.

"At the time of his apprehen-
sion," it added, "Col. Metzger was
on a trip in an area where
American diplomatic personnel are
permitted to travel without re-
striction."
The PAP said the account
given by the U.S. Embassy was
"contrary to the facts and to the
documented proofs at the disposal
of the Foreign Ministry."
Metzger, who was declared
persona non grata said he plans
to leave Warsaw Sunday with his
wife and son.
The Polish Press Agency said
the "unallowed activities" of Col.
Jefferson were brought "firmly"
to the attention of the Canadian
Embassy and "further conse-
quences are under consideration."

Other British retrenchments
will include a total military pull-

tion, of the order of 50 American
F111 swing wing strike bombers.
Possibilities of modifying all, or
some, of these decisions were
under discussion in Washington
by Foreign Secretary George
Brown and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk.
