Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, December 9, 1971 THE BATTALION B, Chilean government to take over food distribution to help overcome shortage SANTIAGO, Chile UP) — Pres ident Salvador Allende announced Wednesday his leftist government is taking over distribution of food in Chile to help overcome a shortage. Allende told a workers con gress that the shortage came about because his policies in his year in the presidency had per mitted people to buy more food than they ever had before. “Before this,” he said, “there were many workers whose mouths had never chewed a piece of steak.” “We’re going to distribute the foodstuffs,” Allende told 8,000 workers at the sixth national Congress of the Communist-con trolled Central Workers Confed-* eration. The president urged the work ers and the rest of organized lab or to set up organized neighbor hood vigilance committees to fer ret out hoarders and price goug- ers. “Comrades, let’s organize sup ply committees,” he said. “These neighborhood committees them selves will have to check on how much merchandise is delivered to such and such butcher shop and such and such a grocery store. They will have to check against any abuse in the distribution of food.” Allende did not go into detail about how his leftist government is to assume control over food distribution. But various government agen cies have been quietly assuming increasing control over various sectors of the distribution system in recent months. One agency, which used to co ordinate meat distribution with Chilean slaughter houses, is now in charge of distributing import ed and domestically produced beef to Chilean butcher shops. Allende acknowledged a food problem which he said was caused by increased buying power among the working class as the result of big pay raises his administration granted earlier this year. Already this year, the govern ment has had to spend nearly $210 million of its dwindling for eign reserves to purchase im ported food to feed Chile’s 10 million inhabitants, says agri cultural sources. Partly because of this finan cial drain on its slim reserves, the government on Monday or dered the suspension of all for eign exchange operations pend ing an overhaul of Chile’s ex change policies. The new policies have not yet been announced. The food problem has meant that Chileans can buy beef only on the average of one week a month. When it is available, long lines form outside butcher shops and supermarkets. The government announced new price increases Tuesday for meat. A kilo — or 2.2 pounds — of filet steak rose from 36 escu dos to 55 escudos. The current rate is 28 escudos to the dollar. The average working man earns 1,800 escudos a month. Other foodstuffs such as sug ar, coffee and macaroni have been in short supply. Sbisa Hall & Duncan Hall Meal Schedule Week Beginning Dec. 12 Thru Dec. 19, 1971 SUNDAY Breakfast Tang Asst.
