The abuses in the Food
Stamp Program are increasing
and little can be done to
prevent them, according to
William F. Galbraith, an
assistant to U.S. Secretary of
Viricultiire C lifford Hardin.

advantage of the stamps.
Fspecially in urban areas,
Galbraith noted, instances of
counterfeiting stamps are not
uncommon.
ANOTHER MISUSE of the
stamps involves the exchange
of stamps for cash at
approximately 50 percent of
their actual value. "We've seen
people with Cadillacs and mink
stoles driving away with
groceries purchased by tood
stamps." he said.
The only action that can be
taken is through arrest and
conviction of offenders, which
is not really a solution. He
noted that these abuses
are
directly related to
nrnMems of crime in
the
our
country.
-Th. Ivst solution is
the
enactment of President Nixon's
minimum income program."

encourages persons not to
work. However, recipients of
minimum income could work
and not lose all of their
support from the federal
government.
"OUR DEPARTMENT is
trying to show urban
congressmen the relationship
between the problems of the
cities and rural out-migration.
Opportunity must be created
in rural areas to reverse this
trend." (ialhraith remarked.
Rural problems in the U.S.
are not receiving Congress'
primary consideration because
70 percent of the people in the
U.S. live in cities of 50.000
inhabitants or more. Senators
and representatives from urban
areas have more pressing
concerns with the needs of
their own constituents rather
than those of the farmers, he
said.
The Agriculture Department
has commonly been referred to
as "The People's Department"
because it influences every
home in America every day of
the year.
"FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
that 90 percent of the
department's total man hours
are directed towards concerns
of the general public while
only 10 percent is devoted to
farmers alone. This work
involves primarily consumer
protection through meat
inspection, insect and pesticide
control, and the food stamp
program," he said.
Because criticism has been
leveled at the bureaucratic
maze in the various federal
departments. President Nixon

both the cabinet and the
department structures.
According to Galbraith this is
primaiiiy a system of keeping
books, while trying to avoid
repetition and inefficiency.
Currently there are two
federal agencies involved with

. "The best solution is the
Nixon's minimum income
providing aid to create better
housing. The Federal Housing
Authority (FHA), under the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development, controls
housing in cities with a
population of 50,000 or more.
GALBRAITH NOTED that
another FHA, the Farmer's
Home Administration,
governed by the Department of
Agriculture, provides assistance
to rural areas and communities
not considered urban.
Although the functions of
the Farmer's Home
Administration are not
completely involved with home
improvement, Galbraith
considered the combination of
the home loan functions of
these agencies to be in the
interest of more responsible
and efficient government.
He noted that changes in
this direction are currently
beginning, although the
legislative processes necessary
are slow. "Reorganization
could continue within various
departments until the end of
this century," he said.
