Costs, Benefits of U.S. Food Stamp Project Weighed By OVID A. MARTIN WASHINGTON. Jan. 1 uP-The Agriculture Department figures some 25 million Americans might benefit from a food stamp plan advocated by some Congress! members as the way to assure an adequate national diet in this pe riod of crop surpluses. Roughly figuring, you probably wouldn't benefit from any stamp plan that might he set up if your family income totals $13.75 or more a week for each member. But if your family income falls below that figure you likely would Confronted by a perplexing nrohlem of accumulating farm surpluses at a time when some Americans are inadequately tort, Congress last year directed the Agriculture Department to study whether a food stamp plan would be a practical way to correct this paradox. Under the stamp plan, eligible participants would be issued stamps good for the purchase of designated foods, either at regular retail stores or at government operated depots. The purchasing power provided by the stamps New Expedition Up Amazon Slated for TV By CHARLES MERCER NEW YORK, Jan. 12 - Sun day afternoon visits to the local zoo is a long-standing custom in manv American communities. Thanks to the invention of tele vision and the intelligent enthusi asm of a man named Marlen Per kins nearly everyone can visit a zoo every Sunday afternoon with out leaving the house. Zoo Parade" NBC-TV, 3:30 pm , itJSl i lakes you 10 many places where you see innumeraoie fascinating creatures. Most re cently it took Perkins and a dozen assistants to the upper reaches of the Amazon River where they pent two months filming new programs for the series. Terkins, who is director of Chi- eajo's Lincoln Park Zoo. was de lighted with the results, he said the other day on his return from a camp 2.000 miles up the Ama zon. He found so many interest ing things which you will see in "Zoo Parade" eventually that It's difficult to decide where to begin. Catfish It Feet ln( Do fish interest you? In the Amazon live enormous man-eating catfish 12 feet long. Members of Perkins' party caught one of these a baby catfish only six feet long on a 12-inch hook baited with a whole chicken. But how about the one that got away? It was hooked all right, but it simply straightened out the huge hook with an enormous tug and es caped. From Perkins" camp above Leti- cia on the Amazon he journeyed far up a tributary of the Amazon and visited the primitive Yaugua Indians, who wear grass skirts and never venture out to civiliza tion. They will be seen perform ing a tribal dance on television. The Amazon wilderness is a land of reptiles where Perkins and his crew found many of the most dangerous known to man: an 18 foot anaconda snake, an I foot bushmaster, a 12-foot boa con strictor, matmata turtles, huge lizards, a tree frog eight Inches long that crawls in slow motion. Perkins' technique varies from that of others who film indis criminately in primitive places and then edit their material later. He builds a program in the field, shooting sound on film whenever possible. : The result is a superb scries.1 Knowland, Johnson Pull By J. W. DAVIS t WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 ( The Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate came up with a counle of good-sized sur prices in the first full week of the new Congress. There was much talk and con aiderable eyebrow-lifting when: 1. Sen. William Knowland (R- Calif) announced he would not run for re-election next year. 2. Sen. Lyndon Johnson tD-Tcx) came out for a new scheme for limiting Senate dchale, something his fellow Southerners have fought against for years. These surprises helped make it a hig week in Washington, and more than offset the lack cf any thing really new in President Ei senhower's State of the , Union message. In other ways, this was how things went: Argument continued over Eisen hower's plan for blocking Com munist aggression in the Middle East. The new federal highway pro gram was reported coming along well. Leonard W. Hall resigned after a most successful tour as Repub lican National Chairman. And Sen. Kefauver (D-Tenn). who can't win for losing, lost out in a contrst fnr a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee. 7 KNOWLAND The hard work ing Caltfornian,, who was Sen. Robert A.

Thij diet, developed by the de partment as a standard, includes some loods of all major tale ..,.u i j ... i poultry products, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Of these six million, five mil lion were said to be receiving welfare assistance under the fed eral Social Security program and the other million aid from state and local welfare agencies.

On the basis of retail food prices last September, it would cost about $5.50 a person, on a four member family basis, to buy a week's supply of food patterned after the minimum standards. How would the government de termine eligibility for participa tion in the stamp plan should one be set up to cover the inadequate ly bed? Some proposals submitted to Congress would set up a mathe matical formula for determining eligibility. If 40 per cent of the family or individual income was insufficient lo buy the low-cost diet, it or he would be eligible to participate 24 Billions a Year In general, the value of stamps which would be issued each fam ily1 or individual would be the amount by which 40 per cent of the income fell short Hi buying this diet. For example four member family would be expected to spend an average of about $5.50 each weekly, on the basis of last September prices, for food. This would be $22 a week for the family. A family with a $50 a week income would allot 40 per cent, or $20, for food. The $2 deficit would . be made up in stamps. The department estimated that it would cost the government an average of $100 a year for each person participating on this basis. The cost for 23 million consumers would be 2'i billion dollars a year. It is unlikely that Congress will authorize a program of this scope.
