VIRGINIA FIGHT.
ON MILK PRICES
GAINS STRENGTH
Foes of Fixing" Rally
Behind Medley Bill
By GEORGE M. GREEN

By GEORGE M. GREEN
HMOND, Va. Feb. 8.
Northern Virginia's delegation in
the general assembly which is
supporting House bill designed
to wreSt from the State milk
commission the power to regulate
retail prices of milk today
launched a new drive to gain sup
port for the measure.
Added strength for the adv
coates of the bill, offered by Dele
gate William D. Medley, Of Airing
ton, came at a committee hearing
late yesterday when it was de-
cided to pass by the bill until
next Monday.
TIME FOR HEARING
Explaining why the bill was
passed by for another week, Dele
gate I. Newton Coleman, of Din
widdie County, chairman of the
agriculture committee which is
considering the bill, said today:
"The delay is simply to permit
the many persons who have ex-
pressed an interest in this bill
to make arrangements to be
present at the hearing"
Delegate Medley explained hun.
dreds of persons were interested
in the bill, many of these being
consumers in northern Virginia
who have been forced to pay from
one to four cents more per quart
for their milk as q result of the
commission price fixing at IA
cents per quart.
CITES CAPITAL RULING
Another development which is
expected to play a large part at
next Mondays hearing is yester-
days ruling in Washington by
the United States Court of Ap.
peals upholding the controversial
milk marketing agreement prom.
ulgated by the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
While opponents of the Medley
bill point to this decision in sup
port of their contention that the
State milk act is valid, Mr.. Medley
pointed out today that the Federal
act, according to the courts de-
cision, provides for price fixing
only between the producer and dis
tributer, and apparently does not
attempt to control the prices
charged the consumer.
This Set-up, he added, is exactly
what would be left to the State
milk commission under terms of
his bill, since it seeks only to pro-
hibit price fixing to the consumer.

DOCTORS ASSAIL
HOSPITAL HEAD
IN ALEXANDRIA
Demand Resignation of
Mrs. M. P. Fair

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 8.
Charging that Mrs. Margaret Page
Fair, superintendent Of the Alex
andria Hospital for the past four
months, falsified her credentials
to become appointed to the post,
the medical staff of the hospital
today demanded her immediate
discharge.
Mrs. Fair, however announced
her resignation late yesterday,
stating that she had been offered a
better position elsewhere. She
denied that she had falSified her
credentials.
STATEMENT TO BOARD
The medical staff's demand,
placed at the end of a four-page
statement designed to expose the
entire record of the hospital mead,
was to be presented to the board of
lady managers of the hospital at a
special meeting this morning.
In the attack on Mrs. Fair, the
hospital staff charged that she
never attended Johns Hopkins
Hospital or Johns Hopkins Uni.
versity, from which she was pur.
ported to have received an A. B.
degree; that Johns Hopkins does
not offer an A. B. degree to
women and that Chatham Private
Hospital, where she was said to
have served for 10 years. "does not
seem to exist in New York"
The staff also disputed her rec
ord as assistant to the director Of
Garfield Hospital in Washington,
stating that she lived with her
second husband, James Mays,
when he was superintendent of
that institution, but had no Of
ficial functions in connection with
the management"
FURTHER ATTACK
The staff physicians also attack
the superintendent's record by
stating that she was employed by
the Washington Bicentennial Com
mission as a Stenographer, and
by the United States Government
as clerk, during recent years,
when she was supposed to have
been employed by M. F. Herndon,
New York hospital consultant.

 Feature
(By Jim Jannettyl

Youth again conquered age as the Riccuiti coached Pals set back the older Colonials 2523 for tn esecond time in the last few weeks. last night at the N. E. Y. court. It was the younger Pals squad most of the way, as Captain Pete Toilette and Joe Renaldi led the victors attack with 12-5 points respectively. Ettore Spa dola and Zinno were the losers best bets with 9-5 points apiece. The green and white started off with d bang and they rolled up 7-2 score but the Pals got started and from then on, it was the blue and grey all the way. The Pals pulled to 9-8 score at the intermission. In the third canto, the Pals lead by Pete Toilette and the Colonials by Spa dola, the teams raced neck and neck ending the third period 18-all. In the last session, Rinaldi and Polletti scored five points between them and De Lucia netted two points for the Colonials making the score 23-20 Pals favor. With minutes to play zinno made good free throw mak- ing the score 23-21 but Bob Gum shanon threw in long shot giving the Pals 25-21 score. With a few seconds remaing, Spadola made good side shot but the whistle blew and the Pals won 25-23. The summary:

Grand Circuit
 Booked 10 Days At Agawam Oval |

Agawam Park. Agawam, Mass, March 8 - (SpeciaD - Ten days of Grand Circuit racing, with $70,0OO in purses hung up by Paul BoWser, of Boston, and such outstanding stakes as the American and Nation al trots and paces, will feature the July 27-August 6 second annual harness racing program to be staged at this speed plant.
 Two full dress rehearsals to the Hambletonian stake, in the $7,000 American three-year- old trot, and equally rich National stake, will sky rocket play in the mutuels, since both events will be raced only 10 days ahead of the $40,000 stake at Goshen.
 Entries for Agawam's Grand Cir cult harness race meeting will close March 21, with subsequent payments due April Il and May 2. Horsemen who have been canvassed on the Agawam card report that it should draw every top-hight equine per- former on the big time trotting loop.
 ElgibleS
 Thirty-seven crack three-year- olds are eligible today to the Amer ican stake, with II sidewheelers can- didates for the $2,50O pacing division of the same event. Thirty-eight three-year-o trotters are eligible to the National stake, with 13 wig glers candidates for the pacing di- vision.
 Of the trotting three-year-o -olds, 34 in each stake are also eligible to the Hambletonian, including such stars as Dale Hanover, Earls MT. Will, Promoter, Ava and Static.
 Two new and particularly fast and rich stakes to be introduced at Agawam next July-August are the Massachusetts, worth $5,000, for pacers with records not faster than 2:O4. Likewise, the Hanover Shoe stake is for trotters whose records are not faster than 2:06. The latter event, named after the famous breeding farm in Pennsylvania, is also worth $5,0OO and provides stiff competition for horses who are not in the world championship class.
 Events for amateurs, which are becoming more and more popular with women driving equally as well as men, also are planned by Paul Bowser, Boston sports figure who is sponsoring the Agawam Grand Cir cult meeting.

 Patty, whose name is household word; Patty, winner of four major tournaments this winter, came to Florida in none too new car and will return to Minneapolis the same way, because it's cheaper. Patty played all last year with a set of clubs that were too light and which cost her strokes-because a new set was too expensive. Patty's shoes are stubbed and worn, and her skirts are faded from the sun.
 I talked with Patty's papa, Her man Berg, at St. Augustine last week, and he told me that some times Patty's golf was long, hard pull.
 He and Mrs. Berg were living in a tourist camp near the course in an effort to keep within a budget whose biggest item is the $2,000 that Patty's golf costs a year.

 Some of the girls don't have fani- lies who can send them on the tour, so they must make the money themselves. Katheryn Hemphill, the O ttro ctiyo South Coro1ipo oir1 1xyitl, the tremendous tee shot, works in a Columbia hotel during the off-sea- son to make her touring expenses.
 Marion Miley, one of the finest shotmakers in this country, gets help from home but none too much. Her father is professional in Gin cinnati, and her mother supervises the dining room of a club in Lex ington, Ky. but Marion manages somehow, and for several years has been one of the outstanding tourna. ment competitors.

 Belleair, Fla. March 8.-CUP)- Her life is almost as simple and pat termed as if she were member of some religious order.
 To bed by ten and up no later than seven. Clothes that are plain, cheap, and, above all, durable. Food that is almost mean in its simplicity. Humble lodgings. No cocktails, no dances, few dates.
 Such is the life of the girl tourna- ment golfer perhaps the truest amateur in sport.
 She gets nothing free but head lines and an occasional silver cup or bowl. She must pay her own trans portati tion, her own room and board 1; must buy her clubs, her balls, her clothes, and pay her own caddy.
