for timber sale or other ex-

It also proposed, among

Contracts for the readver-
tised bids are IN process Of

Udall said at a news con-

Some few items will, how
ever, have to be readvertised
because Of identical bids, and

added.
Mr.. Udall said that new bids
in some cases were as much
as 10 per cent below previous
ones. He said he could not
give an accurate figure on the
amount saved by the Govern

but an aide told newsmen
$4,000 was saved on one

would win eventual approval Of
Congress. He said the Senate
version is similar to a bill on
which the House Agriculture
Committee is reported to be

Stricken from both bills was
the key request by Secretary
of Agriculture Freeman to let
representative farm groups de-
velop their own programs, sub
ject to a congressional veto
without amendment, and later
grower approval in referen-

tend farm marketing agree

operation with Afro Asian states,
is attempting to put it into oper-

The first ingredient of the new
