Bidder Skipped On Rifles Job WASHINGTON CAP) A senator and congressman from Maine say the Army didn't consider price in awarding a big cor bad for rifle production--a extract that didn't go to a Maine firm that was low bidder. Rep. Peter N. Kyros, D- Maine, one of the disgruntled legislators, also accused the Army of being biased in favor of big companies in awarding contracts for production of the M16 rifle. "I am bothered that they eliminated all consideration of pricing," Sen.

Edmund S. Mus- kie. D-Maine, told newsmen after a meeting with Brig. Gen. Walter Woolwine of the Army Materiel Command.

What mattered most to the Army, Muskie said, was "a company's capacity to turn out the rifles as fast as they were needed under the new policies." Muskie and Kyros met with MONKEY RUB follows bath for "Charlie," mascot of the Third Brigade, First Infantry Division, in South Vietnam. "Charlie's" friend is Lt. Bill Blacken of Versailles. Mo.

MRS. ATWOOD FEESER, Owners GUS SHANK, Auct. CARL HALVES, Clerk 'the general because they wanted to know why Maremont C'orpo of Saco, Maine, lost out when two firms were named recently to make M16s. Maremont's bid was $36 million to produce 240,000 of the automatic weapons. The contracts went to Had- nngton Richardson Co.

of Worcester, Mass and the Hy- dramatic Division of General Motors Pontiac, Mich: The ciling price on the GM bid was $56 million higher than the Maine firm's. This adds up to "disorderly procurement," Kyros said after the briefing Friday. The Army had "ample opportunity" to request pricing and already had substanial price information when they announced the contract awards in March, Kyros said. The contracts will come under scrutiny Tuesday by a House Armed Service subcommitee. Chairman Richard Ichord, D- has termed the contract figures "unrealistically high." said Woolwine told them the pricing phase of the competition was eliminated because the timetable for awarding the contracts had to be telescoped.

The general was quoted by Muskie as saying the bid procedure was speeded up because of the Tet offensive of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong in January. The Army had said prior to Friday's meeting that a major factor in deciding which firms would get the orders was their ability to meet the Army's demands for on-time delivery. According to the Army, the quoted prices by the two firms will not necessarily be the final prices. Once manufacturing Cardinals Threaten To Run Away With NL Pennant PITTSBURGH (AP) Most of their regulars are gripped by a batting slump, but the world champion St. Louis Cardinals still threaten to run away with the National League pennant again.

Although Orlando Cepeda, Tim McCarver and company were swinging around the .250 mark, the Cards held a 3Vz game lead going into Wednes- costs are determined, the Army has said, the prices will be subject to negotiation downward. day night's game against Pittsburgh. a i Red Schoendienst insists it won't be a runaway, though, even after his stars begin hitting. But he does say they'll snap out of the slump. and he does think the Cards will win again.

But not easily. "I think almost every club is pretty equal this year. there's much more balance," he said, adding that the other teams should start hitting soon, too. "The Pirates will be tough. They haven't been hitting either Page B-J 0 THE NEWS, Frederick, Maryland Thursday, May 16, 1968 and you know they can hit.

Cincinnati, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia. Schoendienst ran down the list, making sure he didn't slight anyone. "You're not going to single out any ball club and gun for them," he said. "Because when you do, you're going to get beat. But I don't think they can all sit back either and just begun for the Cardinals." After 29 games, McCarver was batting .253, Cepeda .252 and Lou Brock .231, to single out three of the prime slumpers.

Last year McCarver hit .295, MVP Cepeda .325 and Brock .299. "I'm sure our guys will start hitting," Schoendienst said. "Nobody's hitting around the league now. Wait until the pitch- ers have to work in warm weather. They won't be so strong in the late innings.

They will be sweating and just plain tired. It will be a different story."
