HEALTH OFFICE
IN BALTIMORE
IS ACCUSED
Producer Says Dr.. Williams
Referred Him to COMPETE
tor for Business Permit

Evidence designed to show COL
fusion between Baltimore health
authorities and officials of a Ma
tional Dairy Products Corpora
ton affiliate in Baltimore was
given today to the Senate Dis
trict Committee investigating the
local milk industry.
Carroll w. Sawter, a producer
in the Baltimore milk shed, teS-
titled that he was unable to OBJ
tain a permit to pasteurize and
sell milk in the Baltimore mar
ket, despite the fact that his farm
is but a few miles outside the
Maryland city.
Told to See Jackson
Under questioning by Elwood
H. Seal, committee counsel, Saw.
ter said that he and a group of
producers were told by DR.. Hunt
ington Williams, health Official in
Baltimore, that in order to obtain
permits to sell in the Baltimore
market they would have to get
the consent of George S. Jackson,
vice president of the Western
Maryland Fairfield Farms Dairy,
which is controlled by the Ma
tional Dairy Products Company.
Sawter explained that he did
not ask Jackson to consent be-
cause he knew the dairy head
would object. Sawter's testimony
was corroborated by that of four
other producers who said they
were present when DR.. Williams
made this assertion.
Irving B. Kemp, of Baltimore,
president of the Cleveland Farms
Dairy, revealed that an officer of
another dairy controlled by the
National Dairy Products Corpora
ton held so per cent of the stock
in the Cleveland Dairy, which
was advertised as "Baltimores
leading independent dairy"
Held by C. w. Bowman
The stock was held by the late
Charles w. Bowman, president of
the Chairman Company, composed
of several diaries which are con-
trolled by the National Dairy
Products Corporation.
Kemp explained that when it
was rumored in Baltimore that
Bowman had an interest in the
Cleveland Dairy his business
dropped off about 20 per cent.
1t was also brought out through
Kemp that the dairy's service bu-
reau in Baltimore, composed of
distributors, fixed milk prices in
that market. He said the distribu-
tors meet from time to time, talk
over business and arrive at the
prices they shall charge for milk.
He said that when DR.. Clyde L.
King, now national milk arbiter
for the Federal AAA, was arbiter
for the Baltimore market, DR.,
King fixed the prices to be paid
the producers as well as those to
be charged the consumers.
Seeks to Show Monopoly
Asked by Senator William A.
King CD of Utah, chairman of
the committee, what he wanted
to show by the testimony, Seal
asserted:
II want to show and I think
/ have shown migration of
the ClOverdale Dairy and Bow.
mans company and that the
National Dairy Products Cor.
pOratiOn is attempting to
establish a monopoly in the
milk industry both in Baltimore
and here"
Seal also brought out that the
same lawyer who is attorney for
the Western Maryland-Fairfield
Farms Dairy, the subsidiary of
the National Dairy Products Cor
poration in Baltimore. was the
attorney for the Maryland State
Dairymen's Association, pro-
ducer organization, during the

University Pay
1888 Salaries 22.66Ht under 1905;
324e Cut after July 1st.

For the month of April the
professors and other employees
of the University received 57.38
per cent of their salaries Of
three years ago.
That is cut of 1852 per
cent. However, the cut for the
entire year does not reach that
figure, because the salaries were
at not so low level in the earl
ier months.
The fiscal year began July /.
For the five months through No
vember the salaries were at 80
per cent of the 1880 level. Then
Is per cent came off the 80 per
cent, and that brought the per-
centage of the 1880 level to 76.
so. This continued for the four
months through March 81. Then
25 per cent was taken off, and
that brought the percentage
down to 57.38.
If the salaries for May and
June are the same as they were
for April, the reduction for the
entire year of 1932-1933 will be
22.66 per cent.
The appropriation for the
next two years provides for a
cut of 32 per cent from the 1880
level, effective July /. Thus
1880 salaries will be cut as fol-
lows: a $1,000 salary to 1916,
a $2,40O salary to 1852, a $3,-
600 salary to $2,448.

Chapel Hill Chaf

On their way to visit Presi-
dent and Mrs. Graham a few
days ago Mr.. and Mrs. John Nal
bro Frazier stopped over with
some friends in Virginia. The
ten-year-old boy of the house
hold, coming upon Mrs. Frazier
in the garden, lamented the diff
ficulty of his history lesson.
They were requiring him to
learn dates, he said, and he
couldn't remember dates. He
mentioned Abraham and Soc
rates as the leading threats to
his peace of mind, and there
were others - Solomon, Cyrus,
Xenophon, Alexander.
The guest sympathized with
him. II don't know dates at all. 3"
she said, "and I'm on my way to
visit the President of the Uni
versity of North Carolina. 1t
will make me ashamed of myself
if he asks me questions"
The boy forgot about his own
troubles in his concern about
the impending humiliation of
Mrs. Frazier in Chapel Hill.
You'd better learn" he said.
A little while later he came to
her with a paper upon which he
had written a long list of dates,
beginning with Abraham. And
he rehearsed her diligently.
So she was well stuffed with
ancient chronology when she ar
rived here. 1t turned out, how
ever, that she was not called up
on to display her knowledge,
since the conversation at the
Presidents House, when it left

it. The senate had prohibited
any local modification of the
law establishing a statewide
8-months term.
The passage by the house of
several important amendments
threw the bill back on its first
roll call reading and will prob
ably prevent the legislature
from adjourning this week. If
it is ruled that the amendments
are material, the measure will
require three days for senate
concurrence. It may be that it
will be forced into conference !;
in that event, a greater delay is
in prospect.
Under the bill as passed by
the senate the Chapel Hill school
would suffer the loss of about
$4,000 that now comes from
local taxation. The term would
be reduced from 9 months to 8
months; the teachers pay would
be subjected to further drastic
cuts; and important services
would have to be abandoned.

1t appears now that North
Carolina's school machinery bill
is going to be so amended that
the Chapel Hill school need not
be wrecked.
In the form passed by the
senate, the bill contained a pro.
vision that only communities
with a school attendance of
1000 could hold elections to de-
termine whether or not they
should tax themselves for sup
plements" (that is, for teach
ers' salaries above the state lev
el and for various improved ia
cilities). This would have rob-
bed Chapel Hill of autonomy,
since the attendance here is less
than 1000. The house has
changed the 1000 to 1000, and
it is hoped that this amendment
will be embraced in the bill that
becomes law.
The house also amended the
bill to permit a 9-months term
in any community where the
majority of the people voted for

Clinic Next Tuesday
Children Who Are to Enter School
Next Fall Will Be Examined

A clinic for the examination of
all children who are to enter
school next fall will be held from
9 to II o'clock next Tuesday
morning in the school building.
It has been arranged by the
Parent Teachers Association.
Many children are seriously
handicapped during the first
years of school because of minor
physical defects which if discov-
cred In time can be corrected.
Other children lose weeks of
school time because they have
not been protected by vaccina-
ton against smallpox, diph-
liberia and typhoid. The law re-
quires that all children be vac
cinated against smallpox before
entering school.
Parents of children who have
not been protected should have
them vaccinated as soon as pos
sible.
This clinic, for which there is
no charge to the parents, will be
conducted by DR.. A. M. BcBride,
DR.. Jean Craven, and other ply
sicians from Duke hospital. The
dental examinations will be
made by DR.. Clark and DR..
Jones of Chapel Hill.
Parents are urged to cooper
ate by bringing their children
to this clinic and following out
the suggestions offered by the
doctors.

Slump in Beer Sales
Demand for Beverage Declines Now
That Novelty Has Worn Oh

With the wearing off of the
novelty of legal beer, sales of
the beverage went into a big
slump this week. But this does
not seem to distress the sellers.
1--WE take the falling off as a
matter of course" said Charles
Gooch last night. 1--WE knew
that the excited demand of the
first few days was abnormal.
The sales are holding up fully
as we'll as we expected. Here in
our place we are selling about
25 gallons of draft beer a day.
Bottled beer is in much less de-
mand; we sell only about a
crate of that a day"
There is beer on draught at
three places in the village now
-Gooch's. Sutton's and the
Smoke Shop Harry Stern of
the Carolina Grill says he ex-
poets to have his draught equip
ment installed within the next
two or three days.
The price by the glass is 10
cents. 1t is agreed by all the
purveyors that the price of 20
cents a bottle is a powerful dis
couragement to the consumption
of bottled beer.
Before long" said Mr.. Stern
yesterday, 81 am going to put a
small-sized bottle, holding IL
ounces, on sale at 10 cents"
A shipment of 20 half-barrels
(the l5l2-gallon size) came to
Gooch's Monday by motor ex-
press from Esslinger's brewery
in Philadelphia.
These are the things I'm
having a hard time getting"
said Mr.. GOoch as he dived un-
der the counter and came up
with a handful of pretzels. Il
ordered ten boxes from the Ma
tional Biscuit Company, and
they sent me two. I've been hav-
ing to buy pretzels at retail to
keep from running out"

University People, Their Pay
Severely Cut, Now Face In
crease in Cost of Living

An advance in commodity
prices is one of the main OBJ
jectives of the New Deal in
Washington.
The merchants and manufac-
turers want it. The farmers
want it. The bankers want it.
The spectators want it. Every
body engaged in business wants
it. The President of the United
States. the politicians high and
low, the economists, the news
paper editorial writer's, all de-
clare it to be essential to recov-
cry from the great financial de-
preston.
But Chapel Hill has no cause
to join in the hosannas at the
approach of the advance in COM
modify prices. 1t will be a ca
lamity to this community. Most
of the income Of the people here
is in the form of salaries, and
the family that lives by salary
is out of luck when bread, but
ter, milk, eggs, meat, clothing,
and the other necessities of life
go up.
One often hears it said that
rise in prices is hard on the
fixed income class" 1t is bad
enough on that class, but it is
particularly hard on the Uni
versity employees because their
income has proved not to be
fixed" 1t has been revised
downward first by the legisla-
ture and then by the state bud
get commission. In this pres
ent fiscal year of 1928 their
pay is 226 per cent down, as
compared with the 1880 level
and, as a result of the action Of
this years legislature, the cut
will amount to 80 per cent for
the two years beginning July l.
Already there has been some
advance in prices, and they are
expected to go higher. If they
do, there will be general i'm
provement in business. An i'm
provement in business is sup
posed to swell the public rev.
enues and therefore to lift the
pay level Of public servants, but
experience has shown that the
raising of salaries lags behind,
and usually far behind, the pick
up in industry and trade. If the
pickup comes, and even if it
meets the highest hopes, the
University employees don't
stand chance Of having their
former salaries restored before
the legislative session of 1885.
