Food stamp bonus
starts this month
WASHINGTON (AP)
Millions of low-income
Americans will get larger
government food stamp
bonuses beginning
,July 1 to
help offset higher grocery
costs and another increase is
likely next year.
' A typical family of four will
get $l7O in food stamps each
month under the new for
mula, a 2.4 per cent increase
from the $166 allocation which
had been in effect since Jan.
1,1976.
The $4 a month increase is
the first boost in 18 months.
The Agriculture Depart
ment adjusts food stamp
allocations on Jan. 1 and July
1, with February's food costs
dictating the July 1 rate and
the August costs controlling
the Jan. 1 adjustment.
Stephen J. Hiemstra,
director of economic analysis
and program evaluation in
USDA's Food and Nutrition
Service, said it is "very
likely" there will be another
increase next Jan. 1 depend
ing on the August figures.
"Keep in mind, however,
that there's a seasonal in
crease in food prices in the
summer," he told a reporter
yesterday. "So I think it's
logical to expect some in
crease."
The $5.4 billion program
served 17.1 million people in
April, down from 18.7 million
Lawsuit threatens
to squeeze Bryant
SAN FRANCISCO (UPI)
A $5 million civil rights
lawsuit was filed in federal
court yesterday against
singer Anita Bryant and
others, charging they incited
the murder of homosexual
Robert Hillsborough in San
Francisco last week.
The suit was filed by Mrs.
Helen Hillsborough, 72, San
Diego, the victim's mother,
and named Miss Bryant, her
husband, Robert Green, her
media manager, Michael
Thompson, her Save-Our-
Children Inc. organization,
California State Sen. John

Airbags, seat belts
to be mandatory in
every car
WASHINGTON (UPI)
Transportation . Secretary
Brock Adams ordered auto
makers yesterday to put
airbags or automatic seat
belts on new luxury and full
size cars in late 1981 and on all
models by the fall of 1983.
"We are determined that
the car of the future shall be a
socially responsible vehicle
which combines the best our
technology can offer in both
safety and economy," Adams
said in announcing his order.
He estimated the man
datory safety systems will
save 9,000 lives or more a
year by the mid-1980s, at an
added consumer cost per
vehicle of $25 to $lOO for the
new seat belt system or $lOO
to $3OO for airbags.
The auto industry and
consumer advocate Ralph
Nader attacked the ruling.
Detroit called it a high-cost,
second-best approach com
pared to laws requiring the
use of existing seat belts.
Nader claimed Adams
yielded to political pressure
by imposing the new
restraints starting in 1981
rather than 1980, and by
applying the new require
ments last to small, fuel
efficient cars.
The insurance industry said
the new ruling will save lives,
reduce injuries and hold down
the rising cost of auto ac
cidents.
Rep. Bud Shuster, R-Pa.,
chairman of the National
Transportation Policy Study
Commission, introduced a
House resolution urging
Congress to overturn Adams'
order. Nader, however,
predicted both the House and
Senate would support the new
requirements.
Adams' order, which will go
their meetings with Carter.
Wood, administrative assistant to
former Attorney General Richard
Kleindienst when he was deputy
attorney general, refused to comment
on what he might do as FBI director.
Welch also turned aside reporters'
questions after his interview in the
Oval Office. Carter had not instructed
a year eariler when unem
ployment was higher. This
represents about 5.3 million
households, using the
agency's calculation of 3.2
persons a household.
The USDA uses a special
"thrifty food plan" to com
pute food stamp benefits.
Unlike the food prices used in
other . federal cost-of-living
statistics, the USDA bases its
estimates on food likely to be
consumed by low-income
families.
Its. plan includes more
cereal products and less meat
and dairy items than more
affluent families usually
consume, but the USDA
considers it a "nutritionally
adequate diet."
Depending on its size and
adjusted income, a family is
required to buy a certain
amount of stamps but then
gets bonus coupons to greatly
increase its buying power at
the store.
Nationally, food stamp
recipients average about $lO
worth of coupons for each $4
they spend on them.
For, example, under the new
formula a family of four with
an adjusted income of $l9O to
$2lO a month will pay $53 to
get a total of $l7O in stamps
a bonus of $ll7 in free
coupons. It has been paying
$53 to get $166 in stamps each
month.
arrested for Hillsborough's
killing.
The action wds brought
under a federal civil rights
statute of 1861 and said that'
Miss Bryant and her
organizations in Florida in
cited an atmosphere that
resulted in the stabbing death
of Hillsborough.
The suit asked $2.5 million
compensatory damages and
$2.5 million punitive
damages. Attorneys who filed
the suit said they were also
directors of Pride Founda
tion, a' non-profit organization
supporting rights of homo
sexuals.

into effect unless Congress
rejects it within 60 days,
established a three-step
schedule to phase in
automatic devices able to
save the lives of front-seat
passengers at crash speeds of
up to 30 miles per hour.
It called for either airbags
or automatic seat belts to be
standard equipment on new
vehicles by:
Sept. 1, 1981, for cars
with wheelbases greater than
114 inches. An estimated 2.5
million 1982-model cars will
fall into that category.
Sept. 1, 1982, for cars
with wheelbases greater than
100 inches. An estimated 5
million 1983-model in
termediate and compact cars
will fall into that group.
Sept. 1, 1983, for all
passenger cars, including 2.5
million 1984-model sub
compacts and mini-size cars.
Adams said the ruling
applies to foreign cars sold in
the United States as well as to
domestic models.
He said new small cars
were given the longest to
comply because it will be
harder to fit them with the
new systems.
All cars would retain
standard seat belts in addition
to the new devices.
Adams said he has asked
General Motors, Ford,
Volkswagen, Toyota and
Mercedes Benz to continue a
voluntary program that
would put some 500,000
vehicles with air bags or
automatic seat belts on the
road before 1981.
U.S. auto accidents now
claim 130 lives a day, with the
toll hitting 47,000 deaths and
400,000 injuries a year, Adams
said.

just naturally quiet."

southern Illinois and federal judge.
Welch, 51, a native of St. Paul, has
been with the FBI since 1952 and has
been special agent in charge of
Philadelphia since 1975.

NAACP leader to protect rights
ST. LOUIS (UPI) The incoming leader of the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People said
yesterday blacks will "shake up this country from top to
bottom" to defeat politicians thwarting gains made in civil
rights. ,
Benjamin L. Hooks, who will succeed Roy Wilkins as
executive director August 1, spoke at the 68th annual con
vention of the civil rights organization.
"In the South we used to have the expression that if there is
one rascal' in office and one running for office, we'd vote for
the one who was out, no matter how bad he was, just to shake it
up," Hooks said.

we're capable of doing it and we don't mind doing it."
He told reporters some liberal politicians are turning their
backi to the civil rights movement and the country appears to
be in a conservative mood.
"I detect a . worsening sign," Hooks said. "Many of us felt
that with an overwhelmingly Democratic ,Congress and a
Democratic president who owed his election to a monolithic
black vote, we would be moving ahead at a faster rate than we
are.
"One of the prevalent misconceptions in the white com
munity is 'Well, you all got everything now; what are you
still pressing for?" Hooks said. "It's a myth we have to
dispel."
