Dr. Jean Mayer. head of the White House Conference. recently noted the inadequacy of the surplus foods program in the city of Boston where only eight commodities were being made available. The Nutrition Committee recently heard testimony by a Colorado pediatrician that migrant children in Texas were suffering protein malnutrition. a type of deficiency only rarely found before. Upon investigation. the committee learned that the surplus foods program in the area where the children lived only carried 12 items. and milk was not one of them. The nutritional case against the surplus foods program has been made over and over again.
