Statewide hunger crisis spurs plea for emergency aid
A citizens board reports 16 million Americans suffer hunger amid government policies that remove food from the market. It urges President Johnson to declare a state of emergency and establish free food programs in 256 counties across 20 states, with vouchers certified by the IRS after income tax returns. The panel, led by Walter P. Reuther and joined by Sen. George McGovern, critiques current food stamp and surplus programs as insufficient for the poor.
