District Gets 3 Plans
On School Lunches
Project Seeks
To Feed Needy
In Elementary
BY JOHN M. McKELWAY
star stan Writer

The District Commissioners
today received three plans to
feed hungry children in the
city's elementary schools.
The plans, drawn up under
pressure from Congress, we're
presented by school and well
fare officials and Schuyler
Lowe. director Of general adj
miniStartion for the District.
The Commissioners we're
faced Immediately with choos-
ing a $125,000 program admin
istered by the Welfare Depart
ment, a $687,Sl7 program
handled by school officials with
recurring cost of 1921 ,49l, or
a token, pilot project.
Mr.. Lowe, who suggested the
pilot project, criticized the
method in the school program
Of selecting those children
eligible for free lunches. He
warned that unless the children
were subjected to Welfare De-
partment standards the pro-
gram might become free
wheeling"
Bag Lunches
The school plan, presented
by School Supt. Carl F. Han
sen, would seek to serve about
$500 needy children bag
lunches prepared in secondary
school cafeteriaS and delivered
by truck; about 422 children
who would walk to secondary
school cafeterias, and 1892
children who would eat at cafe
teriaS set up IN three elemen-
tary schools.
The Welfare Departments
plan, presented by Director
Gerard M. Shea, would provide
the children with two cheese
sandwiches a day at a cost Of
$125, 900.
Mr.. Shea also reported on
an investigation made by well
fare workers of those families
whose children are receiving
free lunches under a program
financed by public solicitation
of funds. Nine of the families
out of Is questioned said their
children could eat lunch at
home but received the meal at
school because it was offered.
DR.. Hansen said he wanted
to avoid "red tape" in provid-
ling the free lunches. Selection
of the needy children, under
his plan should be left wholly
in the hand of school officials, "
he said.
He indicated school officials
are not concerned whether or
not a family is financially able
to provide a lunch for their
child. His chief concern, he
said. is that hungry children
are appearing in elementary
schools and should be fed by
someone.
Not in Budget Now
He said additional clerical
help would be needed to select
the hungry children.
A free lunch program is not
contained in the District budget
now under consideration by
Congress.
The District School Board
has unanimously backed q free
lunch program for needy chill
dren but has refused to set up
lunch facilities for all ele-
mentary children.
Mr. Lowe emphasized today
that any free lunch program
must have Strong controls.
IF you're not careful" he
told the Commissioners, "you
will get a mushrooming of free
lunch applicants. don't know
where it might lead"
The lunch program submit
ted by school officials today was
based on the 1000 estimated
number Of hungry children ar
rived at by teachers and prin-
cipals last, spring.

Dismantling of the East

and is expected to be completed

Mr.. Rayburn noted before he

The 3212-foot extension Of
the east front will add about

divided into offices, committee
