support" Hagerty said as much
as so per cent Of some procure
ment items-army blankets, for
example-might be set aside.
But Saltonstall added In a state
ment that the abandonment Of
the bid-matching procedure was .
blow to the program . :"
He referred to q feature Of the
Truman policy, not revived, which
permitted the government to ask
q contractor in a surplus labor
area with the most unemployment.
Other features include the encour-
agement Of bids from qualified
contractors in areas Of unemploy.
ment, and the encouragement Of
subcontracts in such areas.
Hagerty said announcement Of
the program was not prompted by
recent statements by some econ
omists and Congress members that
the country is in q recession. Eli
senhower's statement said he was
in complete agreement with the
anti-unemployment moves outlined
in November by Fleming.
Sen. Maybank, in Q statement
released here, declared that Elsen-
hover had turned bis back ION
campaign promises Of state rights,
more freedom for private business
and greater economies In the gov
ernment," and he continued:
cts impossible for me to under
stand how the President, In the
face Of the record made In the
Congress during the last session,
and In the face Of assurances given
by the administration to the major
ity leader, Sen. Knowland (Calif),
could take such action as he took"
He referred to this chronology
Of events last July:
The Senate adopted 62-25 an
amendment to the defense appro-
priation bill forbidding the Defense
Department from letting any con-
tracts to other than q low bidder,
even II a slightly higher bid came
from an area with substantial I'M
employment, for correcting or
preventing economic dislocations. Z"
The amendment was drastically
revised in q Senate-House confer.
ence, to bar preferential treatment
In cases where there was q price
differential."
When the bill returned 10 the
Senate for final passage, Maybank
again offered his amendment. But
he did not press 1t after Knowland
assured him that IL win personally
take up the matter with the Presi.
dent of the United States, because
. the vote Of the Senate on the
question was 50 overwhelming that
the administration should not fly
In the face Of the vote by the SEN
ate"
He referred to the original Sem
ate approval Of Maybank's amend
ment.
Knowland later said he had re-
ceived from the President assur.
ance that no contracts would be
let except on Q low-bid basis.
The Californian could not be |
reached for comment on the new
policy.
Sen. Sparkman, recalling the
Senate exchange, said "Bill Knowl- |

Virginia Line Coach
May Go 10 Richmond
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Jan.
27.-Ned Mcdonald, who pro-
duced the tough lines that bull
wark the University of Virginia's S
football offense in recent years,
Is leaving his position as line
coach Of the Cavaliers.
The best guess is that he'll
wind up at the University of
Richmond, where young Ed Mer-
rick has been struggling for two
years to bring about a football
renaissance. Merrick is known
to be interested in getting Nc
Donald as a replacement for
Boyd Williams, who recently re-
signed as line coach.
At Richmond, Mcdonald would
have his work cut out for him
just as in 1946 when he came
to Virginia. The Spiders have
been in the football doldrums
since World War II and have
been in dire need of a standout
crew of linemen.
Mcdonald is a graduate Of the
University Of Texas, where he
starred at end for three seasons
and captained the 1899 Long
horns. He coached at Orange
High School in Texas before en-
tering the Navy in 1912.
