"A new form of money" was cir
culating in San Francisco today,
and it added SO per cent to the
purchasing power of the 10000 per-
sons now receiving some form of
relief from the state as public
charges.
The money" is in the form of
orange and blue stamps and is
backed by the Federal Surplus Com
modities corporation. Not only will
it prove a boon to the needy, but
1t will bring new business to the
food industry, new activity for
trade channels and new surplus alb
sorption for the country's farmers
who find their product glut on
the market.
San Francisco is the oath city of
the country and the first in Cali
fornia to take part in the FSCC
plan.
Heralded as the most successful
means of directing surplus foods to
the countrys unemployed and needy
the food stamp plan will permit

New Cash Hike
New Cash Hikes

to be part of the city's regular gro
Gerry business, increasing that trade
by over a million dollars a year,
FSCC officials predict.
Regional Administrator Jonathan
Garst of the FSCC and Russell H.
Mather of the State Relief Admin
istration are co-agentS in setting
up the plan. With a $4,000 fund,
the SRA has purchased food stamps
in books valued at $4, Sc, and So.
Each book contains its value in
orange stamps, in denominations OF
25 cents. In addition each book
contains SO per cent of its value in
blue stamps that are free, paid for
by the government.
Money the government uses to
buy up surplus farm products will
also feed the needy, for with these
blue stamps relief clients who buy
the stamp books may purchase
surplus commodities.
Grocery stores will list the sur
plus foods, which change frequently
with market conditions. They in
clude at present prunes, onions,
eggs, apples, dried beans, white and
graham flourS and oranges.
The orange stamps will buy any
food the client wishes, with the ex-
ception of liquor and tobacco, in
any grocery store in the city. Blue
stamps will be good only for sur
plus commodities.
At least two thirds of the city's
eligibles-those receiving old age
pensions, the blind and the or
phaned who are public assistance
charges, we're expected to visit the
three distribution centers to stretch
their dollars by so per cent in a
mild and unique inflationary move

Wesferners Irked
By Trade Pact Programs
By the Associated Press

Representative Murdock, Demo-
crat, of Arizona, who usually sup
ports administration policies, assert
ed in a statement today that there
was great likelihood" that proposed
trade-agreement programs would
ALLEVIATE some Western States from
the Democratic party.
The Murdock statement. inserted
in the Congressional Record. was a
new manifestation of dissatisfaction
among some Democratic members of
Congress, especially those from oil
and copper States, with State De-
partment administration of the re-
ciprocal trade program.
Representative Disney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, member of the
House Ways alA Means Committee,
released to the press letter to Sec
retary of State Hull contending that
lowering of the excise tax on oil i'm
ports in the Venezuelan trade treaty
had no basis in law.
1T is respectfully suggested" Mr.
Disney wrote. that this action was
not within the powers granted OF
intended to be granted by Congress
or implied by the Reciprocal Trade
Agreement Act as passed by the
Congress"
The Oklahoman said the excise
taxes or imports of oil. copper, coal
and lumber were in special cate
CORY and were not susceptible to al
teration in the trade agreements.

Traffic Lights Urged
For Wisconsin Avenue

Need for traffic lights along GER
tain parts of Wisconsin avenue was
stressed by the Cathedral Heights
Cleveland Park Citizens Association
at its meeting held last night in the
St. Adams parish hall.
Four specific corners were dis
cussed by the group, the primary one
being the intersection of Wisconsin
avenue. Calvert street and Thirty
seventh street NV A streetcar
stop is located here and passengers
are reported to have difficulty get
ting across the street. Placing a
light here would also benefit the
children attending the Stoddert
School who have to cross the avenue
at this point.
A traffic light at Wisconsin avenue
and Woodley road NV. is in de-
mand. as there have been a number
of serious accidents at this corner
and at least two fatal ones in the
last few years, members pointed out
An increase in the time interval of
the traffic light at Wisconsin avenue
and Macomb street NV. for the east
and west traffic was asked Resi-
dents at the Episcopal Church Home
especially have difficulty in crossing
Wisconsin avenue.
Attention also was called to Pc
destrian and motorists hazards at
Wisconsin avenue and Hall place
NV.
All of these motions and sug-
gestions were referred to the Streets
and Traffic Committee for a survey
and report at the next meeting.
The need Of a branch library in
that section of Washington was dis
cussed. Capt. NJ. G. Cook contended
that the Georgetown Branch Lii
brary was modern and adequate for
the community's needs. Culver B.
Chamberlain, president of the asso-
citation, pointed out that it was not
within reach of children and aged
or lntirm people. He also said that
from the White House out to Chevy
Chase and from Sixteenth street to
Wisconsin avenue, which also con-
tains Is to 20 per cent of the popu-
lation of Washington, library is
not within practical reach"
