NO FOOD STAMPS FOR ILOW-INCONdE GROUP

Contrary to reports, no expansion of the food stamp plans application to low-incolAe families is in sight now. Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation has ben experimenting with the idea in one town in Okla homa, distributing free stamps to all families. whose gross income Is un- der $19.50 a week; but 1t hasn't studied the thing enough to have any idea what it proves.
 What 1t is expanding is use of the plan for relief families FSCC officials say slightly over half 8 million people used the stamps in January; since. they say, there are 20,000,000 people in families get ting some form or other of public assistance, and hence eligible for stamp aid; they figure that field is plenty big enough.

NON-PARTISAN BLOC SURVEYS UNEMPLOYMENT

Interesting and possibly impor- tant development in congress is the assembling of 50-odd congressman of both parties to study the unem- ployment problem. The ball was started rolling by Jerry voorhis of California, but the group isn't con- fined to the usual western left wingers. 5,ia 4 Two meetings have been held
 so far, and 8 dozen sub commit
 tees have been named to study
 various aspects of the unem-
 everything from taxation on up tor dOwn) to technological
 change. f
 So far, voorhis is serving as temporary chairman. As soon as organization is complete he will step out to make way for per- manent one. He is anxious not only to kep the move non -parti- san (to date the group includes 1s Republicans) but to keep it from looking like a bloc formed to boost any one specific measure.
