An injunction granted in District
Court a year ago outlawing Federal
regulation Of milk distribution in the
Washington area was nullified today
by a United States Court of Appeals
decision.
The appellate court held that the
IL independent Maryland and Vir-
ginia milk producers xho attacked the
milk market agreement, which In
volved price fixing, lacked sufficient
interest to maintain the suit
The court said the dairies were the
parties actually concerned and that
the milk producers occupy no posi-
ton in relation to the dairy COM
panies which warrants an appearance
here in the latter's behalf"
The producers, the court, said
failed to allege in their suits facts in
dlcating they would suffer as a result
OF operation OF the agreement.
The Court Of Appeals. therefore.
remanded the cases to District Court
with instructions that they be dis
missed.
Terms Of Agreement.
BY terms OF the milk marketing
agreement, all milk received by han
dlers or distributors was classified and
the minimum prices were fixed to be
paid to producers. A tax on distrib-
utors also was imposed to finance ad-
ministration Of the agreement.
The trial court enjoined operation
OF the agreement on the ground it was
authorized by the Agricultural ADJUST
ment Act, which had been held uncon-
stitutional by the Supreme Court.
The injunction rendered void an
A. A. A. ruling increasing milk prices
about l cent a quart to producers.
which was expected to bring a similar
increase In retail price.

invalidate the agreement contended it
