HUMPHREY FIGHT
TO Be CONTINUED
Deposed Trade Commissioner
Unmoved by McCarI's Sal
ary Ruling.

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
william E. Humphrey, deposed Fed
eral Trade Commissioner, says "it makes
not the slightest difference" that his
salary has been denied him and he is
going ahead with his plans to challenge
his removal by President Roosevelt.
The 7l-year-old Republican appointee
to the commission said the ruling yes
terday by Controller General McCarl
withholding pay checks from him, would
not affect my action to retain that po-
sition in any way"
w j. Donovan, former Assistant At
torney General, will be retained by
Humphrey as counsel to take into the
courts his arguments against the order
of President Roosevelt ousting him from
the commission, despite the fact his
term still has about five years to run.
Sees No Need for Haste.
"I probably will bring suit in the
Court of Claims for money due me,
Humphrey said, "but it will not be
within the next few days. There's nc
hurry and there are many things to be
discussed"
Donovan, he said, would come to
to map out plans for action"
Humphrey said the case would go on
into the Supreme Court for full test
of the executive power to remove MN
which he contends can be only with
cause and proof.
McCarl, in ruling that $94.44 Of sal
ary be paid George c. Matthews, the
Republican designated by Mr.. Roosevelt
as Humphreys successor, set forth MS
reasons as follow.
THE President has removed Mr.
Humphreys and appointed MI Mat
thewS as his successor, and the other
members of the Federal Trade Com
mission have recognized Mr.. Matthews
as the successor of Mr.. Humphreys
and he is reported to have performed
the duties of his Office.
! Humphrey Gives Up Office.
"Mr. Matthews right to salary as a
member of the Federal Trade Com
| mission is not now to be questioned
because of any contention to the ef-

which he could be appointed"
| The commission, by a formal reso-

member OF the agency.
! Humphrey maintained an ONCE II

FARMERS BOOST
PRICES UNDER
MILK CODE
Baltimore Agreement, Ap-
proved by U. s., Calls for 30
Day Trial of Schedule

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-The
milk code for the Baltimore milk
shed, approved but not yet signed
by the Federal authorities, was
made public last night after a
meeting of milk dealers in the
area.
The agreement, which the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
.tion has said it would place in
effect for a 30-day trial, fixes
definite price schedules to be paid
the farmers, but during the trial
period sets maximum but not
minimum retail prices.
The farmers will get 2212
cents a gallon for "basic" milk
instead of the present 18 cents,
and II cents for Glass milk in
stead of Is cents.
It is expected the agreement
will stabilize milk production and
distribution in the area and will
add between 100000 and $500,
900 to farmers incomes. There
are about $500 producers in the
area.
Distributors will be permitted
but not compelled, to increase re
tail prices to II cents a quart
and 7 cents pint during the
trial period, according to I. w
Heaps, manager of the Maryland
State Dairyman's Association, a
producers cooperative.
