Fight plan to cut free school food programs
Washington AP President Johnson's proposed cuts to free school lunches and milk faced House Appropriations Committee resistance. The panel rejected about 128 million in reductions and plugged a total Agriculture Department budget of 6.909 billion for the new fiscal year, offset by reallocating departmental revenues and boosting some programs including milk and lunch subsidies. The panel also increased funding for disease control, soil survey, and state experiment stations, while maintaining overall reductions versus the President's request.

Army Will Not Take Convicts
WALPOLE MASS AP The Defense Department says it is not likely to enlist or induct inmates of U S prisons to fight in the war in Vietnam. A spokesman said the present policy rules out accepting prisoners for military service and opposes making military service an alternative or substitute for punishment. Members serve unconditionally as volunteers or by call, and cannot be equated with penal servitude.
