statement would be for;
thcoming.
Kahn made the remark on
the April 11 broadcast of the
NBC Today show when
asked if there is anything
specific that he would have
the American public do to
help slow inflation. He an
swered, “I want people to
follow their own interests.
Which means if there is a
state of turning in their
cars—get a small fuel ef
ficient car, drive less, walk
more, ride a bicycle, cut out
beef and go to chicken,
poultry and pork.”

Cattlemen decided not to
take that slam sitting down.
“Your comments, on the
TODAY Show, that people
should cut beef out of their
diet and switch to poultry
and pork were unfortunate.
Dr. C.K. Allen, Executive
Vice-President of the
American Angus
Association, told Kahn in a
telegram Friday.
“Agriculture producers
even more than other con
sumers are devastated by
inflation,” Allen responded,
“but the decreased beef
consumption that you
recommend will not
decrease inflation. Beef
prices are lower than last
year and, therefore are
helping to reduce the in
flation rate. Per capita
consumption of beef is at the
lowest point m years. And
because of increased costs,
beef producers are losmg
money.

Spencer
DENVER, Colo. George
S. Spencer, executive vice
president of the National
Cattlemen’s Association, has
announced his resignation
from NCA.
Spencer will continue m
his position as NCA’s chief
operating officer until a
real cause of rampant in
flation is in Washington,
D.C. Deficit spending and
unrealistic social programs
are the long term causes.
Increased taxation, in
creased interest and in
creased fuel cost are the
cause of the recent ac
celeration in the inflation
rate and these decisions
were made m D.C.
“I think you owe beef
cattle producers a retrac
tion. They are one of the few
groups in this country that
respond to supply and
demand and they are
decreasing inflation rates,
not increasing them,” Allen
concluded.

resigns from NCA
successor is named, said
Merlyn Carlson, NCA
president. The NCA
executive committee met on
April 23 to begin the process
of selecting a successor for
Spencer, as the chief staff
officer in charge of all NCA
operations.
Spencer told the executive
committee at its meeting on
April 18 that he wished to
resign, and the committee
reluctantly accepted the
resignation, Carlson said.
Spencer has been with NCA
and the former American
National Cattlemen’s Assn,
for 10 years, and he in
dicated he wished to resign
now in order to pursue other
interests. However, he
agreed to remain with NCA
until a new chief operating
officer is appointed.
“George Spencer has
made a tremendous con
tribution to NCA and to the
beef cattle industry,”
Carlson said. “He has given
of himself unselfishly
through many difficult times

during the past decade, and
all of us are deeply ap
preciative.
“George has the respect of
cattlemen and of
agricultural organizations
and leaders throughout the
country. Under his staff
leadership, NCA has become
a stronger, more unified
voice on behalf of the beef
cattle industry. He will be
greatly missed.
“The association is now
operating more effectively
than ever, and we regret
George’s leaving, but we
understand his wish to
devote more time now to
other interests and to his
family.”
Spencer was reared on a
livestock farm near Payson,
Utah, and he is a graduate of
Utah State University. After
teaching agriculture in
Utah, he joined Swift & Co.,
where he served in
agricultural relations and
plant management
positions. He joined the
former American National
Cattlemen’s Assn, as chief
staff officer in 1970.
He played a key role m the
consolidation of ANCA and
the National Livestock
Feeders Association into the
new NCA two and one-half
years ago, and he was
named executive vice
president of the new
organization.
Spencer and his wife,
Janice, have three sons, and
they live in Littleton,
Colorado. Spencer has not
yet announced any future
plans, but he and his family
plan to remain in the Denver
area.
