Washington (U.R) Secre
tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Ben
son announced today that U-S
surplus wheat and corn will be
made available immediately to
charitable agencies for distri
bution to the hungry overseas.
Stocks of dried beans and rice
also will be released for foreign
relief.
(oThe action was a major vic
tory for Protestant, Catholic,
and Jewish leaders who had ap
pealed jQintly to Benson for re
lease of surplus grains for over
seas relief.
Law Interpretation Hit
The religious leaders made
the appeal in a meeting with
Benson last month. They argued
that the Agriculture Depart
ment had placed too narrow an
interpretation on a law enacted
by Congress last year. It auth
orizes free allocations of surplus
farm products to voluntary re
lief agencies tor distribution to
the needy abroad.
Previously, the- department
had released only farm products
which were in danger of spoil
ing in storage, mainly dairy
products and cottonseed oil. And
it had served notice that the av
ailability of dairy products for
relief agencies would be sharply
curtailed next year because sur
plus stocks were dwindling.
From Government Stocks
The foods will come from the
government's stock of more
than $7,700,000,000 worth of
(jurplus farm products.
The foods will be distributed

Cify Planners Call
Hearings on Zone
Change Requests
The planning commission
called for two public hearings
on zone change requests at its
meeting last night.-
One hearing is in the recently
annexed Laurelhurst addition,
where, the commission recom
mended that the area west of
Mary st. and north to the north
city limits be rezoned to class
3B commercial to conform with
businesses already established.
The remainder of the area would
be rezoned to class IB two-family
residential. The area was
annexed as single family resi
dential. The other hearing is on change
of zone request from the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, for
property recently annexed in
Siskiyou Heights extension at
Woodlawn and Richmond aves.
Both hearings will be held at
the Jan. 9 meeting.
Recommend Change
The commission recommend
ed to the council that property
owned by Marrs R. Gibbons at
McAndrews rd. and Clark st. be
changed from two-family resi
dential to heavy industrial.
Commission members pointed
out during a public hearing that
property just to the east is heavy
industrial. Several residents ap
peared objecting to the change,
saying property values would
decrease.
The commission voted against
amending existing zoning ordin
ances to include trailer courts
in commercial zones and recom
mending a request that lots on
Boardman st. be rezoned to light
industrial, on the basis of spot
zoning, be denied.
