PLANS MILK PROBE
Commission Launches In
quiry Into Methods of
Supply to Nation.

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Trade Commission to-
day launched an inquiry into methods
Of supplying the Nations milk.
Many officials, including Secretary
Wallace and his undersecretary, Rex
ford G. Tugwell, rank the problem
second only to the water supply in
importance to the people. They urged,
and Congress passed recently, reso-
luton for the investigation.
Low Farm Prices.
Farm administrators say that in
some cases farmers have received as
little as so cents per hundred pounds
for milk for which consumers paid
from to IA cents a quart after it
had been pasteurized, cooled and de-
livered.
About 3,629.470 900 gallons of milk
and cream were consumed in the
United States last year. Members of
Congress pointed to this fact in con-
Guiding that the milk supply should
be investigated.
They said a Farm Administration
audit of milk distributors books in
five cities showed profits ranging from
IA to 80 per cent.
The Trade Commission started to-
day to draft an outline of activity.
Some of the lines of investigation
outlined by the commission include:
Determination of the reasons TOR
spreads between prices to farmers and
to consumers.
Examination of Charges.
Examination of special charges for
various classifications of milk.
Functions of State Milk Control
Boards.
Differences in prices Of private
companies and municipal distributing
plants.
Charges deducted from farmers
prices for market services, such as
cooling, testing and weighing of milk.
The influence of cooperative farm
organizations on milk distribution in
cities.
Salaries paid to executives.
Labor conditions on farms and IN
distributing companies.
Quality of milk sold to consumers.
