Purchasers in Lowest Bidders Policy for Army Food
Washington July 22 The judge advocate general Maj. Gen.

Alexander Legge, chair of the Federal Farm Board, rejected senatorial calls to reenter the wheat market with 100 million bushels. The board will remain out of the market, already holding about 60 million bushels bought at an average 50 cents above the current price.
