Newspaper article regarding Senator Ernest Hollings' claims that there was a serious problem with hunger in South Carolina, citing his own tours of slums and the testimony of experts. However, Senator Strom Thurmond denied that there was a problem, and claimed that talk of hunger was just political maneuvering. The issue was further complicated by the fact that many state and local officials also denied that hunger exists. The article also discusses the potential need for federal action to combat the problem and the lack of public support for Hollings' efforts to raise awareness of hunger. 2 pages.
