DA|RYMEN
Boost Must Be Passed
To Consumer, Briefs
To Wallace Say

"Any increase ordered under
amendments to the milk mar
keting agreement will, of neceS-
Sity, be passed on to the con-
Sumer."
With this edict emphasizing the
attitudes of two of the largest dis
tributors in the Washington milk
shed as expressed in briefs filled
by their counsel at the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the fear of in
creasing the cost of milk to the
consumer increased today as pro-
ducers also reported a shortage Of
production.
Representing both the Marcy
Brothers, Inc, trading as the
Arlington County Dairy, and the
Chestnut Farms-Chevy chase
Dairy Company, Attorney Rojer j.
Whiteford placed his clients on
record as opposed to the granting
OF any increase of any kind"
Local Price High
Whiteford, in rebuttal to argu.
ments presented by Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton officials at a hearing last
week, argued that local producers
are paid 20 per cent more for
their product than the average
producer throughout the United
States. He charged the "alleged
scarcity of milk is due to the as
sociation'S improper action in cur
failing natural production of milk
during depression years. Present
/ ngreaSonS why distributors could
not absorb an increase, he said:
ono distributor can absorb an
increase of more than 4 cents q
gallon and remain in business
-. The distributor is the victim
of higher prices"
Whiteford attacked the pro-
posal of the washington Restau-
rant Association to erect or lease
its own pasteurization plant
should prices increase, terming
the plan as Thoroughly ludicrouS
when it is considered that now

"The restaurant proprietor
makes more than the farmer
and distributor put together.
One of the reasons why the dis
tributor's spread is so small,
taken as a whole, is because Of
the low price at which milk is
sold at wholesale to restaurants"
