An annual $4,000, 600 appropria.
ton to finance school lunch pro.
grams In public and other nonprofit
elementary and high schoolA
throughout the United States, in
cluding the District, was proposed
to Congress yesterday by the Fed
eral Security Administration.
Under the plan as outlined by
Paul v. McNutt, Federal security
administrator, the United States
would contribute up to so per cent
the first year and thereafter the
costs would be divided $3.50 with
the States.
At least 80 per cent of the Fed
eral outlay, exclusive of admins
trative costs, would go to the pur-
chase Of food Federal contribu-
tions toward administration would
be limited to 3 per cent.
Mr.. McNutt declared that with.
out Federal assistance a compare.
lively small percentage of the
schools are, or can, provide lunches
for needy pupils. With SO many
mothers working, he added, often
children 60 without adequate break
facts or with inadequate lunches
and many with no lunches at all.
Others, he said, catch snacks at
,delicatessens or soda fountains.
The District now has a penny"
milk program for needy school chill
dren but the old free school lunch
program was abandoned last spring
after the demobilization of the WPA
which provided a staff for the CEN
trail kitchen.
