Food Stamp Program Expands Across 43 States and DC
The food stamp program moves toward mass reach with 2.6 million users purchasing nearly $1 million in groceries daily. By June 30 it will operate in 1,200 areas across 43 states and Washington DC, including eight of the ten most populous cities. Critics call it a coldly funded handout, while sponsors say it teaches budgeting and self-reliance. Congress funds the program at $185 million this year, up from $116.3 million last year, as the program gains support after decades of pilot and expansion under Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy. A shopper uses stamps like cash, buying virtually any groceries with stamps signed on the back to prevent reuse.

Federal Reserve tightens credit as pressure on taxes
Washington bankers say the unanimous Fed move to raise reserve requirements signals pressure on the Johnson administration and Congress to cut spending and raise taxes. Chairman Martin is urged to push spending cuts beyond those proposed, with tax hikes backed by the President.
