Food Stamp Plan urged to aid public assistance families
A plea for expanding the Food Stamp Plan is urged as a partial solution to widespread poverty and malnutrition. The proposal would authorize the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to provide surplus food and fiber to eligible FAP recipients and unemployed workers, with stamps exchangeable for designated goods. The plan seeks inclusion of cotton in surplus and expands eligibility through state and local assistance officials.
