Food Stamps
Latest Plan

Washington, Dec. Sup Sen.
John II. Bankhead. D.. Ala, pro-
posed today that the government
scrap its subsidy program and
adopt instead a plan to help low
income groups solve their food
problem by giving them food
stamps similar to those issued in
the depression years.
Bankhead. a bitter foe TO sub
sides, made his proposal as the
Senate Banking Committee 'continu-
ed hearings on a House-approved
measure to prevent government
use OF subsidies after Dec. 81.
Mayor Fiorello II. La Guardia OF
New York. an advocate of subsi-
dies, was among scheduled wit
nesses.
Noting assertions that a ban on
subsidies would increae food prices,
Bapkhead said food stamp plan
would protect the low-income
groups but would place on those
earning high wartime wages the
responsibility OF paying their own
way. He contended It would cost
less than the subsidy program.
The Alabaman recalled that food
stamps were used successfully 10

ing the depression years and said

gestion. and got some immediate
