isn't off the ground, yet. 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. ..
State Hospital To
Get Security Cases
Salem - (UPD - Mental pa
tients who would ordinarily
be committed to Dammash
State hospital near Wilson
ville will go to the State hos
pital here instead if they have
a record of sex offenses or
anything else, requiring heavy
security. :
The Board of Controls made
this decision Tuesday. Dam
masch, opening this spring,
has no facilities for maximum
security. ,
Man Suffers Minor
Injuries in Crash
Clifford Leroy Eckel, 21, of
212 Rose st sustained appar
ently minor injuries Monday
when a car he was driving
collided with another vehicle
at the intersection of Third
and Ivy sts.
Medford police said Eckel
suffered a small cut on the
side of his head, but did not
request medical aid. The acci
dent occurred about 11:30 a.m.
The driver of the other car
was Loyce Cleo Carver, 42, of
901 North Central ave. Carver
was cited for failure to yield
the right of way to a vehicle
on the right, police said. Both
cars sustained heavy damage.
