Food Stamp Rules Could Expand but Draw Protests
Washington AP reports proposed rules to implement the 1970 Food Stamp Reform Act aim to broaden eligibility while drawing 124 protest letters. Officials say about 350,000 current recipients may lose benefits, though 1.7 million in states with lower ceilings could become eligible. nationwide 10.6 million receive stamps. Under the plan a four person household with income up to 360 dollars monthly would qualify, with stricter limits for one or two person households. The Households definition is contested by Republican senators who say the law targets unrelated individuals under 60, like hippie communes, and may exclude families who take in a friend. In Meadville, three men were charged in a 1969 Conneautville grocery-store burglary after a vending-machine theft arrest led to the case. Betts, Powell, and Godsave face hearings or bonds. two defendants remain jailed or free on bonds pending hearings.

Nixon welfare reform plan revived by House panel
The House Ways and Means Committee revived the Nixon family assistance plan as part of a broad Social Security reform bill. It envisions a federal takeover of welfare costs, a $2,400 income guarantee for a four member family, and increases in payroll tax to fund pensions and welfare. The measure, approved with language to be finalized, would begin in stages and could boost 1972 payroll taxes while saving states money by shifting welfare costs to the federal level. It includes work incentives, penalties, day care funding, and 200,000 public service jobs to aid able-bodied recipients.
