Food Issue Is Slated At Welfare The problem of distributing sur plus foods in Oregon counties which has become something of a political football recently, will be considered by the Klamath Coun ty Welfare Commission at its reg ular meeting Friday morning. Reuben Larson, chairman of the Klamath County Welfare Com mission, said the commission and county court would explore the problem Friday. Larson said the surplus food issue is "consider ably more complex than it ap pears on the surface." State Sen. E. D. Potts of Grants Pass said Tuesday that Klamath and Josephine counties are set up and ready to use federal sur plus foods whenever they are available, bounty Judge R. R. Bobl Walker qualified that statement by saying yiat Klam ath County would cooperute ii. the program if some of the red tape can be ironed out. The county welfare commission and county court turned the pro gram down two years ago on the grounds that it was too expensive to administer. Commodities were limited, had to be accepted in carload lots, had to be repack aged and transportation costs were paid by tne counties. Oregon is one of only eight states not using federal surplus- Jeanne Jcwctt, state public welfare administrator, Tuesday said the state is not participating in the program because it is too expensive to administer. A mem ber of the stale commission, Mrs. Lee Patterson, said the program is not being carried out "because the counties refuse , to administer it." Surplus foods are Issued to wel fare recipients In addition to reg ular food grants. Schools and state institutions have first priori tics on surpluses. Such foods are presently being used by the coun ty juvenile and nursing homes.
