Frequently, direct action was taken to see that milk of nonstrikers did not reach the market. Bullets were fired into tank trucks to drain their cargo; others were balked by masked men, who sometimes destroyed the trucks along with their loads. Dynamite exploded in front of two houses in Michigan, a barn was burned in Southern Ohio, a hog house and 40 pigs went up in flames in Wisconsin.

...Overcommitted." How to plug that drain, which is caused by the U.S. balance of payments deficit-has fired increasing debate. Former Treasury Under Secretary Robert Roosa contends that the U.S. is "overcommitted at home and abroad," warns that "rapidly mounting deficits in our foreign accounts could make 1967 a crucial year for the dollar, and even for U.S. leadership in world affairs." Most bankers agree with Roosa that domestic interest rates must be lowered only gradually to protect the U.S. against a perilous outflow of dollars and gold to high-rate Europe...
