There are in all about $4,000

services of trained commercial

them much more TO spearhead u

MILO PERKINS EXPLAINS
Money for the deals is handled

the actual deals are handled by
commercial firms actually in the

Milo Perkins, executive di-
rector of BEW, in explaining TO
Congress how his Office of I'm
ports was directing the purchase
of some 500 different items in
40 different countries, recently
gave an insight into the motives
of this method OF doing bust

said, the interests of u. S. com.
