Food stamp boost eyed to 116 monthly in July
The government plans a 3.6 percent rise in food stamp payments to 116 dollars per month starting July 1, a boost officials say will aid about 12 million needy Americans but may still lag the anticipated 6 to 8.5 percent spike in food prices. Agricultural sources and Senator Clifford P. Case urged a larger increase, arguing the very poor need protection from rising costs.

Vermont Senate backs multi member districts rezolution
The Vermont Senate unanimously approved a joint resolution endorsing legislative reapportionment with multi member districts where appropriate. The move, led by Edward Janeway and Thomas Crowley, follows a Supreme Court ruling on population variance and jeopardizes the existing single member plan. A second resolution seeks a nine member commission to study privacy in computerized data banks. The body also approved grants for court procedure study and education programs at state prisons and correctional centers, while Judiciary Committee debates open sessions rules.
