An acrimonious public hearing was
In prospect today to determine the
validity of the milk producers request
for a 4-cent-a. gallon increase In the
price paid them by Washington milk
distributors.
After learning informally from three
Of the city's leading dairies that the
producer-increase would undoubtedly
raise the consumer quart cost by cent.
the Consumers Council arranged for a
conference with Community Chest
representatives on taking steps to save
the Scent milk supplied child welfalc
and health agencies.
Representatives of the organizations
will meet tomorrow. Matthew Boyd,
vice chairman of the Consumers
Council already has made public his
suspicious that the request for the
increase is the result of an understand
ing between the dairy section of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
ton and the Maryland and Virginia
Producers Association.
Boyd believes the milk marketing
agreement fixing the producer price was
approved by the dairy section with full
knowledge that the association, which
includes 80 per cent OF the producers fol
the Washington market, would at once
seek the higher price
DR.. E. w. Gaumnitz, head Of the
dairy section, said the hearing would
be called shortly His organization de-
Clined to sanction the high price re-
quest made in July by the association
during the hearings on the original
agreement, which went into effect
Monday and established Federal con-
troll over milk distribution here.

of the Republican party, is in gala
attire for the reception of the DEM
ocratic delegates and their guests. All
the main thoroughfares are decorated
with flags and bunting. The conven-
tion picture Is far more defined in the
city's streets than it was during the
Republican Convention in Cleveland.
In fact, everything Is ready for q
great show-the greatest political
show ever staged. There will be
plenty Of ballyhoo during the COM
ing week. 1t is the purpose of the
Democrats to sell over again Pres
ident Roosevelt and the New Deal to
the American people. The official no
tification of the President that he has
been rencminated, slated to take
place next Saturday night, viii be the
high spot of the entire week. After
such a build-up, 1t is expected that
the Presidents speech will carry a
terrific punch and probably some
thing brand new.
$500 Delegates Expected.
The total number Of delegate votes,
according to the call for the conven-
ton, is 1,100. With the alternates,
this brings the total number of del
egates to be seated up to 1900. How
ever, some of the States, among them
Maryland, have divided their del
egateS' votes once, twice or several
times. In consequence, it is expected
that more than $500 delegates and
alternates, many of them with frac-
tional votes, will demand seats on the
convention floor, which is an added
problem for the managers Of the con-
vention. Everything possible will be
done to seat them all.
Only three contests for delegate
seats are in sight-from Minnesota,
the Canal Zone and Porto Rico. The
contesting delegates are all for Roose-
veit, although they represent warning
factions Of the Democratic party In
their particular locations. The Min
nesota contest promises the most in
terest. One slate of delegates Is
headed by Joseph Wolf, national
committeeman and an original Roose-
welt man in 1882. The other Is led
by Joseph Moonam, Democratic State
chairman. Moonam was an AL Smith
supporter four years ago, but today Is
for Roosevelt and so are his delegates.
Because of the few contests, the
Democratic National Committee put
off its meeting to consider them until
Monday.
While many of the Democratic
leaders have reached Philadelphia,
few of the rank and file of the del
egates have made an appearance so
far. 1t is expected they will arrive in
large numbers tomorrow and Monday.

been his since producing the 1882
picture, but he continues on in the
modest way in which he has worked
as an artist for more than SO years.
Perskie had never attained great fame,
and. like many great artists. his talent
and skill have received q late recog-
milton.
Choice Result of Visit.
II was only a mere chance that this
prominence has come to Perskie. He
happened to "drop-in" on Mr.. Roose-
welt when he was Governor Of New
York four years ago, just at the time
the latter and his campaign lieu
tenants were puzzling over the prob.
lem Of an acceptable campaign pic
ture. They picked him to do the work
as soon as they saw some Of his
etchings.
1t is interesting to note in the por-
trait etched by Perskie four years
ago and the one he has just fin.
ished, what four years being Presi-
dent of the United States has done to
Mr.. Roosevelt's face. The fact that
he is aged can readily be seen. There
are a few more lines in his face, the
hair on top of his head is consider
ably thinner and many gray hairs
have presented themselves, particu-
larly on either temple. But the pic
lures still show the same strong, de-
termined mouth and bright, fearless
eyes. The Presidents neck in the
picture of today is just a trifie fatter
than it was four years ago, although
he actually weighs about the same as
he did when he entered the White
House.

Ordinarily a troublesome task, 1t
was easy this time, for the President
had only to make a selection from
several etchings done by J. H. Perskie,
the venerable Atlantic City, N. j.,
artist who made the Presidents 1882

About two weeks ago, Perskie. who
is II years old, took about half an
hour In the Presidents Office to make
preliminary drawings. These were
quickly put in complete form by the
artist in his Atlantic City studio, and
during the past week the President
indicated his preference from among
three finished etched portraits. It
is now up to the lithographers and
