Show New Relief Plan To Be Tried Out WASHINGTON, April IS (U.PJ Rochester, N. Y., was selected today to-day as the first of six cities in which a new food stamp plan for distributing surpluses to needy will be tried. Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace said the plan, if generally gener-ally adopted, would aid millions of families to increase their food purchases, help farmers dispose of surpluses and promote general business recovery. It will be placed in effect in Rochester within the next 30 days, probably May 15. The other five cities will be named after completion comple-tion of surveys. |
