Senator Andrews, Democrat, of
Florida, yesterday introduced a bill
to permit the use of Federal funds
in the development of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway

The legislation was requested by
Chairman U. S. Grant of the Ma

tains an unfortunate and unjust
discrimination" against Maryland.
Under present law, Federal funds
may not be spent on the parkway
development in Maryland, except
under the Federal-aid highway pro-
gram, where the State must bear
half the costs.
Maj. Gen. Grant brought out that
the United States had spent more
than 81 900, 900 for the parkway on
the Virginia side of the river from

School Lunch Fund
Signed by Truman;
D. {. Begins Study

President Truman today signed
the National School Lunch Act and
urged all communities to cooperate
with the Agriculture Department to
bring the advantages of the lunch
system to increasing numbers of
children
Congress acted with great wis
dom" in providing Federal aid for
school lunches, Mr.. Truman said,
Despite Americas capacity to pro-
duce food, the country often has
failed to distribute it we'll and the
lunch bill is a basic forward step"
in that direction, he said.
District school and District build
ing officials swung into action this
afternoon to determine what the bill
means to children here. The act
provides that each community will
decide how much it can spend to
feed its notwithstanding with the
needy ones-and this sum will be
matched for three years by the Fed
eral Government. In the appro-
priation bill now in conference be-
tween Senate and House leaders,
the Agriculture Department has been
allotted S75,000,000 to meet the first
years cost
Graduated Reduction.
After 1850 the Federal contribu-
ton will be reduced to 81 for every
$l50 of State funds. After 1855 the
Federal contribution will be 81 to
every SO of State funds.
District schools already have been
spending about $4,000 a year for
milk for needy school children, and
it has been suggested that this be
transferred into general lunch
appropriation. How much more
money could be allocated will be
decided In conferences between DR..
Hobart M. Corning, superintendent
of schools, and Walter L. Fowler,
District budget officer, school heads
said today.
A flve-man committee was ap-
pointed by DR.. Corning several
weeks ago to study the school cafe
terra system, which now is operated
on concession basis. A centralized
control of food planning and pur-
chase would be helpful to admins
tration of the provisions of the new
lunch bill, and is being considered
by the committee, officials said.
Importance Is Emphasized.
The Importance of school lunches
was emphasized recently by the
Council of Social Agencies survey
the Metropolitan Area health and
hospital conditions. The daily lunch
should be used as a health education
experience as well as for nutrition
rather than as a means for making
money, the report stated.
AS many as 100000 children have
benefited under previous lunch pro-
grams and now many more will
participate on a permanent basis,
President Truman stressed.
I'm the long view, no nation is any
healthier than it's children or more
prosperous than its farmers, and In
the National School Lunch Act the
Congress has contributed immeas-
urably both to the welfare of our
farmers and the health of our chill
dren," he said.
