Behind the Food PIons
By WilIiom Hines

Food plans, heralded as saving
the customer anywhere from 25
to so per cent on his annual food
bill, have taken Washington by
storm. The Better Business Bu-
reau estimates that a dozen such
plans are operating here, all OF
them offering the public a deal
which is a variation on this main
theme:
'Live like millionaire on q
hamburger budget! Eat as you
never have eaten before, and save
lots Of money! Own a home
freezer at no cost to yourself
Buy at wholesale and save!"
Some of the plans are more
discreet than this; they just offer
substantial savings" and leave It
to the prospect to guess what the
word substantial" means. Others
are more blatant-they leave the
that a $500 freezer is
yours with no strings attached ii
you Join a food club.
Freezer-FOod Tie-ins.
Basically, the flood savings
'plans"-by whatever names they
may be known-are simply ar
rangements to tie in the sale of
food freezers with seemingly at
tractive offers on food. But the
gained by many pros
poets from the food clubs adver-
tising is that the food is the item
being pushed and the freezer is
Just a sideline.
No impression could be more
erroneous. From the food plans
inception in the Midwest two
years ago, they have had no other
purpose than to spur the sales OF
home freezers. The fact is that
the plans are sponsored, not by
grocery interests, but by electrical
appliance dealers. An indication
Of how the appliance stores are
doing can be gained from one re-
liable piece of information: An
electrical store here is reported to
be selling as many freezers in 9
week as it used to in a year, now
that it has a food plan in opera

There is no sound estimate Of

straws in the wind, such as the
increased volume of sales reported
above. There is another indica.

BROOKLYN, NY. - (ANP)-
Until Negroes vote in larger num-
bers they cannot expect the full
fruits of Democracy. In stinglng
indictment of indifference OF
Brooklyn Negroes toward use OF
the ballot, Special Session Judge
Myles A. Paige and the Rev. DR..
F. Ray, posed this conclusion be-
fore hundreds of listeners attend
ing a registration rally last week
at Bethany Baptist Church. :.
The rally followed a parade
through the upper Bedford-Stuy-
vesant Negro area. It was the first
demonstration of the Citizens
Nonpartisan Committee for Get
ting Out the Registration and
Vote.
Admonishing his listeners 70
carry their fights from the street
corners to the ballot box, Judge
Paige warned that Negroes are
being driven back into slavery
by failing to use the greatest
single weapon within their pos
session-the ballot.
He presented facts to indicate
that only about 10000 OF Brook
lyn's possible 100000 eligible
Negro voters are registered. He
said, that whereas one voting dis
trict handling from 900 to 900
voters is required for every

Caucasian residents. there is on
