Smooth Working Group Handles Surplus Foods WASHINGTON AP A smooth-, products that are in surplus sup. ly operating organization with ply and having price difficulty. 25 years of experience behind it The food distribution branch is handling the stupenduous keeps on top of state needs job of carrying out President through five area offices at At- Kennedy s order that more sur-j plus foods be given the nation's needy. It is perhaps the largest single, coordinated food purchasing and distribution agency in the world. It first was set up in 1935 to help move farm surpluses to those in need during the great depression. It has operated ever since, with varying loads of work. In general, its work increases in bad times and decreases in 'good times. -The organization is a combina tion of Agriculture Department employes, the nation's food pro, cessing industry, the transporta tion industry and state and local units of government. Its costs of operation are far below those in curred in the distribution of food through regular channels of trade, At the present time, the system is supplying donated foods to ap proximately 6,100,000 needy per sons In 43 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Foods now going to those In need include canned pork and gravy, dry beans, oatmeal, pea nut but,ter, lard, flour, cornmeal, dry milk and rice. Directing this task Is a food distribution division in the Agri culture Department, acting under policies and directives of the sec retary of agriculture. : When the secretary of agricul ture directs that a specific com modity be made available, the distribution branch sets to work to round up supplies. Under the law, the foods must be limited to those processed from farm lanta, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and San Francisco. Once the food has been bought or taken from government stocks and packaged and loaded into cars the distribution begins. No two states have identical dis tribution systems. Some have set up their own warehouses and maintain trucks to haul the food to local centers. Others use com mercial facilities. Still others di rect that the loaded cars be sent to specified rail points within the state. The local welfare units pick up allotted supplies from the car. Most states mako one distribution monthly to each family or indi vidual on the eligible list. The government attempts to keep a 30-day supply in the dis tribution pipelines. These supplies serve also as emergency supplies for areas hit by disaster, such as floods, tornadoes and fires. The foods are labeled to gov ernment specifications and carry the warning that they are not to be sold or exchanged. . Officials said no very good fig ures are available on the over-all costs of distributing the food that the transportation of supplies: from the processing center U local distribution centers and to the needy. But they estimated It would not exceed a national aver age of 10 per cent of the total cost 'of the food. The federal government has only about 200 employes assigned to its part of this job. The big manpower load alls on states and local units. PAGE 2 Monday, March 13, 1N1 HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon c wi r m. tm. Tit ih;. ux m - 3-3 "But Dad, Myron really has lovely manners!

Fisher wanted to bring the Children Sunday but was over ruled by the doctors. He said he was sure they would be per mitted to sco her sometime this week. The question of Miss Taylor's role in the film "Cleopatra" was expected to bo decided Tuesday when Spyros Skouras, head -' of 20th Century Fox, arrives in Lon don.

GOP Chairman Steps Up Search For Successor WASHINGTON (AP)-Tliruston B.

Morton is being pressed by Ken lucky friends to resign the chair. monship so he can devote more time to the tough job ot trying to, win reelection to the Senate next year in a stale normally regarded us Democratic. On a recent visit here, the Ken tucky national committeeman, John T. Diederich, told reporters ho thinks Morton has a good cliance to win in 1962, "but he's got to get started pretty soon." If Morton is reelected, some Republicans think he will be a man to be reckoned with when the party gets around to picking its 1964 presidential and vice presi dential nominees. Morton's search for a new chair man acceptable to all factions of the party was reported centering around four men. A number of Republicans think the leading prospect for the job is Rep. William Er Miller, 47, a Roman Catholic from Lockport, N.Y. As chairman of the Republi can .campaign committee lie Is given a largo share of the credit for the GOI''s gain ot 22 scats in the House.

New Testament Issue In Modern English Readied For Sale LONDON (AP)-A New Testa-i ment in modern English, 13 years in the writing, went on sale today. Known as "The New English Bible: New. Testament," it strips away the language of the King James and earlier English ver sions. It is the first revision in Britain since 1881. And for the first time in British history, all the major churches in Britain, except for the Roman Catholic, joined in the revision. Prof. Charles Dodd. director ofj "Thy kingdom come, "Thy will be done, "On earth as in heaven, "Give us today our daily bread. "Forgive us the wrong we have done, "As we have forgiven those who have wronged us. "And do not bring us to the test. "But save us from the evil one." The revision was suggested in 1946 by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. It said me project, says me original ,ne church's work was hindered ureeK ana tieorew nave oeen translated into "English which is as clear and natural as the sub ject matter will allow." Here is a comparison: Authorized version of the Lord's Prayer: 1 Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. They kingdom come, They will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. . "Give us this day our daily bread, , - "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 'And lead us not into tempta tion, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glor, for ever, Amen." New English Bible: "Our Father in heaven, "Thy name be hallowed; MAY GET JAPAN POST TOKYO (UPD-Japanese news paper and radio reports said to day the United States had asked Japan to accept appointment of Harvard Professor Edwin O. Rei- schauer as the new U.S. ambas sador. The spokesman for the Japanese Foreign Office said he could not confirm or deny the reports. by the archaic language of the Bible. A joint committee was formed in 1947 to direct the new transla tion. All the responsibilities of publication were entrusted jointly to the university presses of Oxford and Cambridge, which bear the whole cost and own the copy right. I he joint committee is com posed of representatives of the Church of England, the Church of Scotland, the Methodist Church, the Congregational Union, the Baptist Union, the Presbyterian Church of England, the Church in Wales, the Church of Ireland, and the Society of Friends (Quakers). Also represented are the British and Foreign Bible Society and the National Bible Society of Scotland. The publishers in a joint state ment said that the revised ver sion of 1881 made as few altera tions as possible. The wording of the changes was limited as far as possible to, the language of the! King James and earlier English versions. "Today, that language is even more archaic and less generally understood, because the rate ofl change in English usage has ac celerated in the past 80 years," the statement said. "In that time too, textual criticism has ad vanced, and earlier manuscripts and other sources of evidence have come to light." The text in the New English Bible runs oh as in a normal book, with the verse divisions as used in the authorized version confined to such examples as the Lord's Prayer and the Beatitudes. For purposes of reference, the old verse numbers are placed on the margin. The joint committee still is at work on the translation of (he Old'' Testament and the Apocrypha. A separate American edition was published simultaneously for- sale in the United States. It is ' identical in text to the British Edition.

Eisenhower disavowed that. In this week's newsletter, Mundt said Sunday "President Eisenhow er's assurances last week to a na tional TV reporter that my report summarizing our visit is a closed incident and that our friendship remains unimpaired was reaf firmed this week by a 'Dear Karl" letter from ike reaffirming the fact." 1 '" SiHfeHiH : ' Pirated " ; .
