House bill 7870. which would authorize the disposal of up to $1 billion in surplus foods each year through a food stamp plan to persons on relief or in need of assistance but ineligible for relief. declares that a plan of this nature would be of particular value in a State like California. which is faced with a growing relief problem. County welfare agencies say they have reached a crisis so far as granting aid is concernedThe Fresno Bee reports. It adds: Farming States in particular have large numbers of migrant families who fail to meet the residence requirements of counties to be eligible for relief. To be told they do not qualify for relief does not make them any less hungry. In summarizing the plan outlined in my bill. the Fresno Bee declares: The Government would have little to lose and some hungry people would gain a great deal.
