School Lunch Funds
Cut 4O%; Higher Price
For Pupils Here Seen
By Mcleolm Lomborne, Jr.

A 40 per cent cut in funds for
the national school lunch pro-
gram was recommended by the
House Appropriations Commit
tee today.
An Agriculture Department ofd-
cial, calling the reduction a Set
back" predicted that many States
will have to abandon the program,
now serving 7,775,000 children in
48 States, next year.
A 75,00o 900 budget estimate by
the department was trimmed to
$45, 900 900 with a recommendation
by the committee that States should
match by direct appropriations the
money provided by the Government.
I,700 Children Here Affected.
An official of the Board OF Edu-
cation here estimated that about
1,700 children in IA schools were re-
ceiving full meals at lunchtime each
school day. Students are charged
for the meals below cost and small
portion is paid for through Federal
funds.
Any slash in these funds, he said,
would mean the price of meals
would have to be increased. This,
he added, might lead to drop in
participation in the program.
More than $1,000 children here
participate in the penny milk" pro-
gram in 73 schools. Funds for this
come from separate appropriation,
and therefore the budget cut would
not affect its operation, 1t was said.
Department officials pointed out
that only three States-Utah, Della
ware and New York-now have pro-
grams for matching school lunch
funds with Government grants.
All States Participating.
With most State legislatures not
scheduled to meet again for at least
a year, many lunch programs will
fold up, unless special sessions are
called or the recommended $50, ,000,-
600 cut restored.
All States are participating in the
school lunch program authorized by
the last Congress. The department
estimates $4,000 schools across the
country are participating this year.
Oficials also cite the danger of
falling off in the service of
lunches in the event the States are
forced to raise the price of meals
to meet the reduction in Federal
funds.
Not Surplus Program.
The House committee report OBJ
served: "It should be pointed out
that this Is no longer a surplus pro-
gram, for here again the testimony
is abundantly clear that schools
can purchase whatever foods they
desire without regard to whether
such foods are in surplus supply or
not. 1t has become nutrition
program"
The report added that 1T should
be borne in mind that the cost Of
feeding destitute children in foreign
countries falls very largely upon the
United States, an obligation which
rests 100 per cent on the Federal
Treasury. 1t does not seem too
much to suggest that the cost of
school lunches for the children of
America, most of whom are able
to pay for them. might well be
borne by the States"

denied.
Present farm values. the commit
tee said, are inflated and are fcer-
tain to collapse and farmers who
have been saddled with loans at the
current inflated values viii surely
come to grief"
The committee added that It
doesn't want to contribute to the
current infiationary trend" by pro-
yiding funds for purchase loans.
The committee cut from 500, ,000.-
600 to $50 900 900 the budget request
for production and subsistence loans

lished and repaying their loans don't
need too much supervision and
management from Washington and
should walk alone"

Admission Of Harris
SiafeIneni Argued At
Kelly Staying Trial

Justice ALEXANDER 1OItZOM To-Day
was to hear further testimony bear
ing on ,the admissibility in evidence
of the. last OF three signed state
ments by defendants, as the trial
of three men for the murder Of
Frank G. Kelly continued in Dis
trict Court.
The statement offered by the
Government was one, police said
they obtained from Shirley Harris,
%, colored, who, the prosecution
contends, fired the shot that killed
MI. Kelly last March II. The VIC
tim, an emNloye of the United
States District Engineers Office, was
killed in the $500 block OF Eleventh
street NV.
Statements Of Others Admitted.
Justice Holtzoff already has adj
mitted signed statements OF the two
other defendants-Herbert H. Hall,
10. and aJoe M. Gray. 10, both
colored.
The jury has been excluded from
the courtroom during the prelimi-
nary hearing on the statements.
In deciding yesterday to permit
Halls statement to go before the
jury, Justice Holtzoff said he was
obliged toFciaoose between testimony
OF police and that of the de-
fendant. He said he was disposed
to favor the veracity of the former
and hold that "tle statement was
a voluntary one and therefore Is
admissible in evidence
Halls attorney, Curtis p Mitchell,
had placed the defendant Gun the
stand to relate his story of treat
ment after his arrest. Hall claimed
| he was not fed during morning OF
questioning and was punched in the
stomach and cuffed about the face
repeatedly by detectives.
Assistant United States Attorney
Edward Molenof presented testi-
mony by succession of detectives
| to the effect food was ordered for
the defendants. The detectives de-
MED Hall was beaten or threatened
DR.. Martin l.. Cannon, chief med
ical officer of the District Jail,
testified his examination of Hall
when the man was received there
after questioning showed him to be
in good physical condition.

ing case jury will convict"
The New York Herald Tribune
said that mob law was at least
brought to trial" adding:
"Such progress may seem slight
enough, but it is significant and one
may believe that there is both warn
ing and encouragement to the future
in the events at Greenville."
The Chicago Sun said, They
made some propaganda for the Rus
slams in Greenville playing
right into the hands of anybody who
wants to magnify the shortcomings
OF American democracy"
The Louisville Courier journal
said the acquittals were "the sort
of thing that in effect continues
in the face of reason, to deny that
the South is a part of the United
States. But the South is a part OF
the United States.
There cannot be two codes OF
decency, or double standards of de-
mocracy or rights"
AcquittalS Called disgrace.
Describing the acquittal "A ma
tional disgrace" the Denver Post
said: "It is the kind Of justice
which has led to the demand for a
Federal anti-lynching law and 1t
makes us wonder what will happen
now to Southern insistence that no
national action is needed to curb
mob barbarity."
Terming the verdict failure OF
the jury" the st. Louis Post Dis
patch said: Justice for all men is
gaining acceptance. 1t will prevail
when IL jurors can be found who
will neither be misled nor fright
ened."
In Kansas City the Star ascribed
the acquittal to Jury which OBJ
viously was swayed by prejudice" !"
adding: Nevertheless this one de-
termined effort in behalf of law
and order will carry its warning
for the future"
The Atlanta Journal condemned
the jury's finding as verdict for
anarchy" in which "the law has been
lynched."
The Charlotte IN. c. News said.
1.-THE failure to convict cannot be
charged to the State, nor can it be
credited to the defense. The ver-
dict of the jury was the product OF
an ingrained prejudice that defies
the laws of God even as it defies the
laws of South Carolina. Those who
are concerned with retribution may
regard the trial in Greenville as a
failure. But in the light of history it
appears as a triumph-an impress
sive demonstration that responsible
South Carolinians have not lost
sight of the ideal of impartial JUS
tice set forth by their own laws. The
barriers of prejudice still stand be-
tween the ideal and the realization
but they have been measurably re-
duced."

Example for Future.

Greenville's afternoon daily, the
Piedmont, said close observers
agreed the verdict however it may
appear to the world was just
according to the law and the evil
dence."
But. continued the Piedmont,
this is community now in which
cases of this kind are less likely to
occur again. For the State and
the county have given notice that
the time is past when murder in
any form, lynchings or otherwise,
will be ignored or whitewashed.'
The Atlanta Constitution said
"The conscience of the Nation is
shocked. Unless the people demon
strate a willingness to uphold the
law against lynching we cannot
and should not escape a Federal
law. Let all those who believe in
the sovereignty of the several States
look to it,
The Richmond tVa1 Times Dis
patch declared: The whole South,
the whole Nation must hang its
head in shame over the verdict"
