Maybe by now you can tell I feel sorry for the working mother; then maybe it’s the want for something easy to fix. If you have fixed Elsie's cobbler this is much the same.

Group claims food shortage WASHINGTON (UPI) — A high-level citizens’ board of inquiry has charged that while the federal government spends billions removing food from the market, at least 10 million Americans are suffering from hunger. The 25-member panel, a private group formzd last July, made the accusation in a report on its nine-month investigation Monday. It urged President Johnson to declare a state of emergency and send free food to 256 counties in 20 states which it said are the worst off. In addition, the board was sharply critical of the Agriculture Department, which supervises the two principal government food programs—distribution of surplus commodities and food stamps. Criticize Freeman Its report noted that on July 12 Agriculture Secretary Orville L. Freeman testified that he was "powerless to do more’’ about feeding America’s poor, but only 123 days earlier he had turned back to the Treasury $200 million which had been available “to buy food for eeding the hungry.” Millions of Americans are suffering from malnutrition and liseases arising from malnutrition as the "consequences of a political and economic system that spends billions to...limit production...to guarantee and sustain profits for the producer,” the board charged. The board, headed by Benjamin E. Mays, president emeritus of Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga., and Leslie W. Dunbar, executive director of the Field Foundation of New York, was created last July after a Senate subcommittee heard testimony from six doctors of cases of starvation in Mississippi. Conservative Estimate The board said its estimate of 10 million hungry Americans is “conservative” and “in all likelihood a substantially higher number” .suffer from malnutrition. The board’s principal recommendation called for a free food stamp program. It said the present program of selling food stamps so they can be converted in stores for approximately 60 per cent more food than their cost would buy was unsatisfactory. Its testimony showed that many of the poor cannot afford even the price of food stamps, the board said.

Try and Stop Me By BENNETT CERF Tj^ROM PRAGUE comes the story of a dictator who is -T making a collection of every joke about him that is told behind his back. He is also collecting the comedians who are telling the jokes. * * * A wealthy Bostonian had advertised for a chauffeur to drive him about for the summer months in the White Mountains, and when three men applied for the job, he shepherded them to the top of a cliff near his estate. ‘‘How close to the edge would you fellows calculate you could drive me safely?" he asked. The first applicant boasted, ‘‘Within six inches of the edge, sir, or my name isn’t Allan Ullman.” The second, more cautious, estimated six feet. The third, however, admitted candidly, ‘‘Mister, you couldn’t get me to drive within a half mile of the place!” He got the job. * * * CAMPUS HUMOR: From Villanova: ‘■Gadzooks,’’ cried a blonde. "That’s my husband coming in.” ■Quick,” exclaimed her great, good friend. “Where’s your back door?" Said she, “We don’t have a back door.” Said he. "WHERE DO YOU WANT ONE?” From Alabama: The bridal pair were driving away from the church. The bridegroom clasped the bride to his bosom and whispered soulfully, “Now, what’s all this jazz about you quitting your job?” t 1968, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

On the lighter side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI)—Heard this story from a friend whose daughter has a friend whose husband is a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. So I am certain it must be authentic. Seems that after the siege was broken at Khe Sanh, helicopters began flying in fresh fruit, ice, cream and other goodies to troops who had been living for weeks on field rations. Most of the cargo was slingloaded outside the choppers and on one flight the rigging broke, dumping hundreds of oranges over an area still held by the Viet Cong. This happened at about the same time the North Vietnamese indicated a willingness to engage in peace talks. Therefore, I began to wonder if there might be a connection. Pending clarification from captured documents, I have taken the liberty of reconstruct, ing what may have been the chain of events: Pvt. Doc Qui Diem, who has been manning a Viet Cong outpost, runs breathlessly into the headquarters camp and approaches his commanding officer. “What’s up, Doc?” “Sir, outpost 609 is undergoing a heavy bombing attack!” "That’s funny, I haven’t heard any explosions.” "No, sir. These bombs don’t go ‘boom!” when they hit. They go ‘splat!’ ” "I don't know, sir. They are small and round and orange colored.” “That sounds like an. . .no, it couldn’t be that. It must be a new weapon of some sort. I’ll send a demolition team to investigate.” A couple of hours later, Sgt. Qui Bang Diem, head of the demolition squad, reports back to the C.O. "Frankly, Sir, I don’t know what to make of it. We recovered one of the bombs intact. It had landed on Pvt. Doc’s hat. When we dismantled it, we found these little seed-like things inside.” "They look like. . .no, they couldn’t be that. I had better send them to Hanoi to be analyzed.” One week later the chief of North Vietnamese intelligence seeks an urgent conference with Ho Chi Minh. "Bad news, excellency. We

have just obtained confirmation that the Americans have developed a citrus bomb.” "A citrus bomb? What’s that?” “I don’t know, sir, but we had better make peace while we can.” Search continues for slayer of Dr. King TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI)— The search for the slayer of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has taken another mysterious twist and was turned toward Florida today. The FBI Monday night issued a pickup order for Eric Starve Galt and asked that it be transmitted to all law enforcement agencies in Florida. The order said Galt had used the aliases of Harvey Lowmyer and John Willard. It made no mention of James Earl Ray, the 40-year-old escapee from the Missouri State prison. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had said fingerprints proved Ray was the same person as Galt. The FBI in Miami refused comment. Earlier Monday, the FBI in Washington clamped a lid on any public progress report on the manhunt. The policy was expected to prevail until a suspect is captured or some dramatic new develop, ment occurs. The Florida alert was the state’s second in 12 days for Galt. On April 11, the day a white Mustang car registered to Galt was found abandoned in Atlanta, the FBI issued a "locate and observe” order for Galt in Florida. About five hours later, it was cancelled and the FBI indicated later the order was a mistake. A Miami police official saw nothing unusual in the current alert’s failure to mention Ray’s name. "Maybe in about another week the correction will catch up with the message,” he said.
