Hedlund said Tuesday that the work of the Military Army - (Continued from Page 1) Pentagon authorities have decided against asking Con- gress for legislation permit- ting them to freeze Army and Air Force enlisted men and officers now on active duty. The Navy already has this statutory authority and may resort to it. Increased regular forces would be financed through deficiency funding authority, and the money would not come out of an anticipated budget increases of between $1 billion and $2 billion.

Ledlund commented at a hearing on possible revisions of the marketing order. Most of the witnesses in the first seven days of testi- mony in New York City and in Syracuse nave called for an end to the present cooper- ative-payment system.

The money taken from the fund pool is apportioned among Eastern Milk Produ- cers Cooperative Association and the Northeastern Dairy Cooperatives Federation. Last year, gross payments under the system totaled $2,- 760,000. In testimony Tuesday, an attorney for a group of inde- pendent farmers called for an immediate end of pay- ments to the Northeast Fed- eration.
