Chicago -Jl'Pl)- The National Farmers Organization, bat tling to revolutionize grain and livestock markets, today blamed an alleged conspiracy among food processors for signs ill "all-out holding ac tion" was failing. ' NFO president Oren Lee Staley, discounting the hard facts of heavier livestock ship ments and lower prices, pre dicted the showdown struggle in the farm rebellion was still "about a week away." Better Contracts Sought The NFO campaign to keep cattle, hogs, sheep, corn and soybeans off the market is aimed at forcing food proces sors and buyers to bargain for contracts that guarantee high er, stable prices for those com modities. Staley, at NFO headquar ters in Corning, Iowa, said Wednesday's higher cattle and hog receipts at 12 major Mid west markets, which dropped prices, were part of a "psy chological battle" being waged by processors. Claiming tht NFO leaders "are all more optimistic than ever before," he said proces sors "have just about thrown their big punch, although they might get big receipts again this week end." Hold To Tighten I "We knew at the beginning that we had to get rid of the cattle In the commercial feed lots owned by processors and chain stores, plus those al ready contracted for sales," Staley said. "We feel by the middle of next week the hold will really tighten and we'll then have the strongest part of the all out holding action." The NFO hold began In earnest last week, when live stock prices rose under lower market shipments, but for the past three days the story has been different. For the third consecutive day cattle sales rose sharply Wednesday and grain - fed steers and heifers ranged from steady to 75 cents lower on the 12 markets.
