MILK AGREEMENT
IS HIT IN COURT
Called Unconstitutional in
Farmers Action for
Injunction.

The Washington milk-marketing
agreement controls the production of
an agricultural product and is, there
fore, unconstitutional. IL Frederick
County MD farmers contended in
District Court today through their at
torney, Seton Darr.
In asking Justice Oscar Luhring to
enjoin Secretary Wallace from en-
forcing the agreement, effective since
September 81, Darr said;
According to the Supreme Court
decision In the Butler and Kicker
cases. concerning processing taxes, any
means which affect control of an
agricultural product is unconstitu-
tional. no matter how lawful the
means Of control"
The means Of control In this in
stance, Darr commended, Is the base
rating plan of the agreement estab-
fishing . two-price system for milk
bought by distributors from producers.
Output Held Curtailed.
The lawyer said the farmers cannot
AFFORD to produce for the second price,
and that since the amount of milk
for which they can receive the top
price is limited. their output Is, In
fact. cilrtailed.
The agreement fails to realize the
purpose Of the agricultural adjustment
act on which it is based, Darr said,
for it has not increased the purchas-
ing power Of the farmer.
He pointed out that the l,100 mem
bers of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association received
for their milk the same price in Sep
tember. when the agreement was in
force. that they did in August before
the agreement was promulgated.
If this order is designed to re-
establish farmers purchasing power"
Darr argued, land If this order does
not re-establish farmers purchasing

Speaking from the west terrace Of
the State capitol, the Chief Exec
utive addressed his first Far West
campaign speech to citizens Of the
great metal mining regions. The
radio carried his words across the
Nation.
Declaring local citizens suggested

to see Republican leaders call this

or county was involved, were the
first to run to Washington pleading
for Federal aid"
Sugar Control Related.
After asserting water conservation
was a part Of the administrations
program and that the stock-raising
industry must be preserved, the
President told OF the New Deals sugar
control efforts and congratulated sugar
beet growers on their substantial re-
duction in the employment Of hired
children in the fields"
He spoke also Of mining revival

the ghost of the old gold parity OF

gold and silver.

G. 0. P. Nominee Speaks at
Akr0n-Wants "ReaI

BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, October l2.-Gov
ALI NJ. Landon told a crowd over
flowing the armory here today that
he stands for "a sane, balanced liber-
alism."
1T is a real liberalism" the Repub-
ican presidential nominee said, "a
marked contrast to the so-called
liberalism in evidence today"
Landon, driving quickly to the
armory from his special train, spoke
to crowd that overfiowed the $500
seating capacity and stood in the
streets listening to the candidate
through a loud speaking system.
II stand for the encouragement OF
American industry that men may have
real jobs at real wages" Landon said
at this center of Ohio's rubber indus
try.
He was given standing ovation
when introduced to the crowd. Noting
that 1t was Columbus day, the Kansan
said:
Continue Pushing Onward.
'eHe had the courage to sail strange
seas and face unknown dangers. To-
day we continue to push onward to
new opportunity, even though the
continents and oceans are all dis
covered"
Saying that the people of Akron
"are my kind of people" the Governor
said:
This reckless squandering of Is

Let me repeat what said in Chi
cago only the other night. If am
elected, the budget is going to be
balanced. and I am not going to take
four years to do 1t. But it is not going
to be balanced by depriving the needy
unemployed of necessary relief or by
swamping the people with taxes. The
budget can be balanced by cutting out
profligate spending. reckless expert
ments and the use of public funds

must be taken from American enter
prise.
Must Put House In Order.
There cannot be any sure recovery
until the Governments own house in
Washington has been put in order
Recovery is impossible under an ad-
ministration which spends two dollars
for every one it takes in.
I'VE must get back to the funda-
mental principles of q system of free
enterprise. Under this system Amer

Federal Judge Elwood Hamilton read
