"These households are therefore the ones which cannot afford sufDent food." The secretary said the standard deduction of $100 would close provisions by which middle-income famines can now become eligible for food stamps.

Congress rejected a proposal last winter for recipients to pay 30 per cent of their income for food stamps. But Butz countered that, combined with the other administration provisions, the. 30 per cent price actually would cost the neediest households a smaller percntage of their gross income than they arepaying now. Today's proposal was a revised version of a more tapered restructuring of the 'food stamp program originally considered by the administration which would have resulted in an income ceiling of about $7,500 for a family of four. The Census Bureau estimates that almost 12 per cent of the present food stamp population has gross incomes above $6,000.

By federal definitions, a family of four is officially impoverished if its gross income is $5,050 or less. There also would be an increase in the percentage of net mcbme families would pay for food coupons: Recipients now pay between 16 and 24 per cent of net income; "under Ford's plan cash payments would be about 30 per cent of net income, House Of David Founder-s Grandson Dies Coy (Sam) Purnell, 59, grandson of King Ben Purnell and Queen Mary Purnell, died Sunday morning at Memorial hospital Mr. PurneU's grandfather was the founder of the House of David.

It would replace current itemization of deductions with a standard deduction from gross earnings for families, The provision was expected to mandate a $100 per month standard deduction plus $25 if an elderly person, is in the family.

Officials and outside experts agree that itemization is what allows the many loopholes that enable middle-income families to spend enough on deductible -items to qualify for food stamps.
