S. Sen. Herman E. Talmadge, who for years has been winning battles in Congress for an adequate school lunch pro gram in Georgia and the nation, has won another round in that area. At his urging, the Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee, of which Tal madge is chairman, approved a Senate bill calling for $129.5 million that would assure at least another year of economi cal lunches for school children and prevent a threatened shutdown of many lunch programs. Under the Senate measure, which is similar to one already approved by the House, the federal subsidy to public school systems would be increased enough to cover inflation. The bill also provides that school districts faced with a cutoff of certain government commodity food items would be assured cash in lieu of commodities that are unavail able because of nationwide food shortages. The increased subsidies are necessary because food prices have risen by 20 percent in the last year, and wholesale prices, which most school lunch programs use, are even higher, according to an Agriculture official. Sen. Talmadge predicted minor differences between the Senate and House versions would be speedily ironed out, thus setting the bill up for a final vote and probable signing into law by President Richard M. Nixon. The Georgia senator said his office had received hundreds of letters in recent months relating dire circumstances in many school systems that threatened to curtail or eliminate lunch programs. Especially in danger were programs in extreme poverty areas that provide free government-aided lunches for poor children. In general, the measure would increase federal reim bursement for school lunches from eight cents to 10 cents for regular lunches; from 40 cents to 45 cents for free lunches, and from 30 cents to 35 cents for “reduced price” lunches for children within a certain income group considered just higher than the poverty level. In addition, supplements for breakfasts served children in certain low-income special programs would be increased from five to eight cents for regular programs; from 10 to 15 cents for a reduced-price program, and from 15 cents to 20 cents for a free breakfast.
