Senate working on food stamp bill WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate is beginning work on a huge farm bill that would continue the controversial food stamp program and establish farm price support payments that help determine how much shoppers have to pay for food. The farm bill, as sent to the floor by the Senate Agriculture Committee, would cost an average of about $4 billion per year through 1982 in supports for wheat, feed grains, cotton, rice and soybeans. The Senate is expected to begin work on the bill today. Carter has warned that he will veto the measure if it contains more than $2 billion for crop supports, which guarantee prices to farmers and therefore can influence supermarket prices. have to decide whether we want to risk a presidential veto on this Sen.

Herman Talmadge, chairman of the Agriculture Committee, said when the panel completed work on the bill. Committee-approved legislation in the House would set the support level for the five crops at about $2.3 billion per year beginning Oct. 1. The House bill is expected to come up for floor debate next month. The farm bill also would extend the controversial food stamp program for two years, through September 1979.

But a major modification would allow low income persons to obtain food stamps free. Currently, recipients must purchase the food stamps. The bill also contains a five- year average cost of $427 million for disaster relief, $52 million in peanut supports and $2 million in payments to dairy farmers whose herds are con- tamined by chemicals or radioactive fallout.
