them. he declined TO reveal any part OF
the conversation. other than to indi-
cate that he brought the President a

ally fair. Mr.. Jardifle explained that

he attributed 20 the fact that it was
being tlnIoaded upon tf1e market in
great quantities. He added, however,
that this price drop was more of
marketing problem than anything else.

Illustrated the need for more orderly
marketing.
The Secretary, who has not entirely
recovered from his recent breakdown,
thoroughly enjoyed his visit at Cedar
