Post Office Hit
On TruckDeaI
BY the Associated Press

A House committee today ac-
cused the Post ONCE Depart
ment Of "flouting" legal proce-
dures in buying trucks from the
Twin Coach Co. of Kent, Ohio.
The Government Operations
subcommittee found evidence OF
"a certain affinity" by the de-
partment for Twin Coach prod
ucts. although it also reported
no sign of "culpable conduct" by
any specific person.
At issue were three contracts
with Twin Coach in 1854 for
$50 light, sit-stand trucks for
postal use. The contracts totaled
$717,50O.
The subcommittee said that
originally two lower bids than
Twin Coach's were submitted for
the $50 vehicles, but the lower
bidders took certain exceptions
to the Post Office Department
bid specifications.
The department subsequently
decided to negotiate a contract
with Twin Coach instead on
grounds the purchase was for
experimental" purposes, tn e
subcommittee said. 1t added:
1.-THE weight of the evidence
points to the fact that the
designation of the vehicles as
experimental was a thinly dis
guiSed attempt to avoid COM
petitive procurement"
The department had said it
made the move to avoid litiga-
ton over the contracts.

is justice"
Marshal Tito came up at that

The plan also repeatedly guar.

Conference With Turkey
Previous negotiations between
the British and the Greek Cypri-
OTIS broke down because the Brit
lsh refused to give any indica-
lion Of when they would permit
the plebiscite on the islands fu-
lure status.
Informants said the new self
government proposal was the
reason for q hurried conference
Yesterday between Foreign Sec
rotary Selwyn Lloyd and Turkish
AMBASSADOR Suad Haryi Urguplu.
Turkish Cypriots and the gov
Of Turkey insist the is
land must revert to Turkey if
British rule ends. Britain first
took over control of the island

The Yugoslav chief indicated
to reporters at q Yugoslav re-

I'VE are pretty much in agree

Will Consult and Cooperate
Marshal Tito told the newsmen
not to expect anything sensa-
tional from the announced get

Soviet Communist parties. He
said the basis Of the agreement
would be on the same level as

tries, q relationship he has been

clared, have been guided by
