McGovern Urges
Food for Peace
For Half Billion
By the Associated Press

Food for Peace Director
George McGovern says he is
shooting for a program that
will provide meals for so mil
lion children overseas within
five years.
Mr.. McGovern, a presidential
assistant, said yesterday he
hopes the Food for Peace Pro-
gram involving surplus United
States foodstuffs can be ex-
panded to reach that figure
Most of the youngsters would
be in non-CommuniSt Africa,
Asia and Latin America, he
said.
Mr.. McGovern announced
plans yesterday for a world
wide tour beginning January
80 during which he will study
possibilities of expanding the
Food for Peace Program. It
now provides meals for some
80 million children, mostly in
pilot projects.
Cost of an expanded pro-
gram, he said, would be mean
ingless and generally a matter
of bookkeeping since the sup
plus commodities belong to the
Federal Government. The al.
tentative would be keeping the
food in storage and paying the
storage costs. The only cos
involved (in an expanded pro.
gram) would be in shipping
and handling"
