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.

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

"Give us this day our daily

"And forgive us our debts, as

paper and radio reports said to

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.
