NOT HOPELESS,
DECLARES
TH0MA )
Senate, House Groups
Together Z Hours
Without Action

Chances for an agreement on
the 1887 District Appropriation
bill between the House and the
Senate appeared as hopeless as
ever today at the conclusion Of
another conference.
Senator Elmer Thomas CD, of
Oklahoma, chairman, shook his
head and told reporters:
mo agreement. That Is all 1
can say. There was no agree
ment on anything. We were
just talking. 1 don't know
when we can get together again,
but this is not the last confer
ence."
Marked With OutburStS
While the meeting today, which
took almost two hours, was pune
tuated with outbursts from both
the Senate and House conferees,
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton CD of Texas, left the APP
preparation committee room with
his face wreathed in smiles. He
joked with reporters but refused
to make any comment on what
had transpired.
While he was talking, Senator
Carter Glass CD of Virginia,
who has proved a thorn in Blan.
tons sides on previous occasions,
also came out. His face lighted
up when he saw the group and,
as they started to walk away, he
said:
"You see, he's walking out
on us again."
Loud outlaws of laughter from
the House group greeted this sally
and someone added:
"And he's taking his gang
with him."
REFUSES TO ANSWER
The Texan refused to answer
the question as to whether he
thought he would have to use the
continuing resolution he intro
duced yesterday in the House as
a precautionary measure"
This resolution would cut ap-
proximately 10 million from the
District budget included in the
appropriation bill over which the
conferees are now battling. It
would also cut out entirely the
| $5,700,000 Federal contribution
which is causing the deadlock be-
tween the Senate and the House.
The resolution is a direct result
Of deadlock between the Senate
and House over the payment of
S., 100000 from the Federal Treas
ury to help defray the cost of the
city provided in the bill. This
sum was approved by the Budget
Bureau and is assumed to be the
wish of President Roosevelt.
Despite this fact, the House cut
the item to $2,70O,00O. The Senate
restored it. At the conference no
agreement could be reached. Sen.
ate conferees previously had an
nounced that a continuing resolu-
ton would be introduced if a dead.
lock developed over the bill.
A resolution they had in mind,
however, would continue all of the
appropriation in force during the
current year, including the 5,7O0,-
600 Federal lump sum.
Representative Thomas L. Blan.
ton Cd, of Texas, who introduced
the present resolution, threatened
at that time to amend any such
resolution as suggested by the
Senate. BY his action yesterday
he did not wait for the final con-
ference on the appropriation bill
or for the Senate to act on a
resolution.

VA. MILK PRICE
INCREASES
ORDERED
D. 6. Prices Stand
At Thirteen Cents,
Dealers Say

No changes of Washington's re-
tail milk price structure are con-
templated as a result Of yester-
days court ruling boosting the
Grade A minimum from II to Is
cents throughout Northern Vir-
ginia, a survey of the Capitals
leading milk dealers indicated to-
day.
Diaries doing a strictly local
business in Virginia, however,
must raise their price to Is cents.
Likewise, there will be no in
crease from the 13-cent level at
which most of the Washington
milkmen doing business in Vir-
ginia have been operating.
One Dairy Fights
One dairy, Highland Farms,
plans to continue retailin G
through its own outlets on a TO-
centsper.quart basis until noti-
fled by Virginia authorities that
the price boost is specifically
mandatory. Dale Hunt, manager
of the firm stated:
1--WE have had no official no
LITIGATION yet on the three-cent
increase and do not intend to
establish a 13-cent price until
such notification is given. Since
our milk is prOcesSed in Wash
ington and sold in Virginia only
through our own outlets, our
belief is that we are engaged in
interstate commerce and i'm
mune from the Virginia courts
regulation. Our Washington
price will continue at 10 cents
a quart"
The interstate commerce uueS-
ton was shared by Percy D. Ora
ham, president of the Model
Farms Dairy, Inc. All Model bust
ness transacted in Virginia is
done with private customers, it
was pointed out, a factor which in
Mr.. Graham'S opinion gives the
sales an interstate character.
Quality Change Seen
One Of the results Of the regula-
ton, however, will be a lowering
of the quality of the Model Farms
product sold in Virginia, Mr.. Ora
ham asserted. The milk sold by
his farm hitherto at Is cents a
quart contained over Al per cent
butterfat, he declared. Under the
court ruling, the minimum price
for such milk has been set at Is
cents a quart, according to Mr..
Graham, which will mean that the
Model company will be forced to
lower the butterfat content to Al
per cent or less in order to sell at
the 13-cent level.
Other dairymen who forsee no
higher prices for either Washing
ton or Northern Virginia are the
Chestnut Farms Chevy Chaise
Dairy, Thompson's Dairy, the En-
bassy Dairy, Fairfax Farms and
Simpson Brothers.
The ruling also set a wholesale
price of 261a cents a gallon for
milk Of 4 per cent butterfat con,
tent. According to B. B. Derrick,
secretary of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Milk Producers Association, there
will be no increase from the 261a
cent price. The association is
composed of some 1900 farmers Of
Virginia, west Virginia and Mary
land and operates under an agree
ment with the State Milk Commits
sion of Virginia.

First he turned to Lady Far

been no great explosion" thus
far and he felt that he could go
through with it.
"Rosamond," he said, IT

ton.

lower until finally Tubbs turned
to Linda. He felt as though his
knees were knocking together,
but nothing could prevent it
now.

an effort.
"Oh yes, yes indeed, how do
you do, Mrs. Baker?"

well, do you?" Lady harrington
said, softly, falteringly.
II hate you" Linda said. She
didn't raise her voice, she said
1t in a most matter-of-fact way.
And I am sure you must hate
me, tool"
mo. Oh, at first, yes, hated
you and Robert. I hated him
more than I hated you, but the
hate was soon gone. I kept tell
ing myself that I must not hate
like that. I was a civilized
woman, and an unfortunate
woman, and what had hap
pened must make no difference.
Of course it did make a differ
ence. You can make your mind
say things, but you cannot make
yourself believe them. Some
thing was gone. It was a long
time before could bring my
self to love Robert again-about
as long as it took me to know
little Robert-my son. Forgive
me, Linda, I have to call him my
son. I would go crazy, other
wise"
"There IS your. side, isn't
there" Linda murrnured. Lady
Farrington's words seemed to be
weaving a strange spell over her
making her see things in a
new light.
IF you could only understand.
I had known, and it was agony.
that I could have no children.
