It may be two months more be fore anybody actually gets any free food under the pro gram. . ; . r . The first step toward put ting the program into opera tion may come very soon, Ag riculture department experts said. This will be a decision by Agriculture Secretary Or vllle L. Freeman on what type or types of food stamp plans will be tested, and in what localities ,lhe tests will be made. ; Agriculture department of ficials then' will begin confer ences with local and state of ficials and with officials of grocery trade groups to pre pare for their role of cashing and redeeming food stamps. ; An order also will have to be issued for printing the stamps, a Job which Agricul ture department officials have been told will take about two months. Taken By Surprise - Kennedy's announce m e n t that the experiments would be launched in areas of West Vir ginia, Pennsylvania, southern Illinois, eastern Kentucky, northern Minnesota ' and in Detroit caught Agriculture department ' officials by sur prise. They had not expected the presidential action so quickly, and in three weeks they have not settled a number of poten tial legal problems involved in the program. - The knottiest problem is the question of just what kind of action Congress authorized in a 1959 law which permits the administration to operate a food stamp program through January, 1962. Agriculture department of ficials have indicated inform ally they are planning on pro grams in which needy families would use stamps to buy a wide range of foods, including meats, fruits, and vegetables, at grocery stores But some congressional at torneys who have studied the law believe that such pro grams might be stretching the language of the Food Stamp Act. Cost Controversial The cost' of a food stamp program, if the experiments later are broadened into a wide-scale operation; also re mains a controversial subject with few hard facts in sight. The pilot experiments this year probably will not cost more than $50 million under current plans. If the experi ments lead the administration to broaden the program, costs will be greater. ..
