WASHINGTON, Sept. ZO-JAP) l’ is considering a proposal that it offer some high-priced foods to hungry areas abroad at “cut-rate" prices as a means of preventing further advances in grain and livestock quotations.

Such foods would include dried fruits, citrus juices, fats and oils. dried beans and peas, dried eggs. and canned vegetables. A cabinet food committee reported to Pre- sident Truman last week that the United States could spare $650,- 000,000 worth of these.

Under the cut-rate proposal, the Government would buy the food at prevailing market prices and

sell it to foreign countries at prices which they could afford to P l’

a . At the Agriculture Department where the cut-rate proposal was iadvanced, an aide said it would (be "very much cheaper" for the United States to subsidize foreign sale of substitute foods than to try to fill foreign needs with grain alone. _

The official predicted $3.50-a- bushel wheat and corn at the farm if the Government attempts to export 570,000,000 bushels this crop year. These grains now aver- age about $2.50 at the farm.
