TUBE-TYPE COMPANIONS Morse Slows Senate's Work On Labor Day But Farm Surplus Measure Passes; House Speeds Along Oiattw4 foam Oa senhewer vetoed.

The new bill, at $1,185,309,093, is smaller than the vetoed one but still contains 67 project Eisenhower describeyl as objectionable because of their ultimate cost Further, House Speaker Sara Rayhurn (D-Tex) indicated thfre will be action on a third housing bill before adjournment. Eipen-ho-wer vetoed the first two as extravagant and inflationary. Food Stamp Pita The Senate wrote an exprimn-tal revival of the depression-era food stamp plan into a bill authorizing a vast extension of the surplus crop disposal program. The bill, going; well beyond what the Eisenhower administration had asked and th. House had voted, was passed by 68-14 roll ealL Senator Holland of Florida voted for the bill, while Smathers was not recorded.

A Senate-House conference com mittee now will attempt to work out a compromise which is virtually certain to include some ver sion of the food stamp plan. Administration spokesmen have argued a food stamp plan would ba eootJy. unwieldy, subject to abuses could provide less ac tual aid to th needy tiian they new receive through other sur plus food disposal programs. At Retail Stores Unde? the stamp plan, needy persons could buy surplus foods at rttail grocery stores, paying for the items with stamps obtained through state welfara authorities. This is much the way it wan done in the depression.

The Senate version would order Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Basson to launch th 15-million-dollar food stamp program experimentally in notiewer than three nor more than six communities. The House voted to authorise the secretary to experiment with such a plan, stopping short of a direct order. The bill as passed by the sen- billion-dollar program for the sals of surplus farm commodities overseas for payment in foreign eurreneies. The administration had astod for a one year exteniion and a m-hillion-dollar limit on the foreign currency sales the same figures carried in th9 House bill.
