Milk Probers
To Hear Official
OF Producers
Schultz Tells House
Giant Monopoly
Promotes Barrier

B. B. Derrick, secretary manager
Of the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, probably will be
the first witness before the House
Committee investigating the District
milk situation when it resumes the
inquiry early next week,
Association members throughout
the Washington milkshed are now
providing the city with nearly 80
per cent of its milk and cream sup
ply. This milkshed embraces parts
of Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia.
AS a prelude to resumption of the
milk investigation, Representative
Schultz, Democrat, of Indiana went
on the floor of the House late yes
terday and charged that powerful"
influences are attempting to block
the inquiry and to hold up" the
price of milk to consumers.
Charges Monopoly Promotes Barrier.
Mr.. Schultz also charged that
giant monopoly" exists on the
Washington market to build a
"Chinese WALL around the District
to keep out products of dairy farm
ers beyond a 50-mile radius of the
city.
A member of the committee con-
ducting the investigation, Mr.
Schultz already has introduced
bill to open the Washington milk
market to milk and cream produced
outside the local milkshed.
Mr.. Schultz prefaced his charges
by deploring sensational news
paper stories in connection with
seizure in Washington early in
March of 2,400 gallons of alleged
bootleg" cream which originated in
Indiana. He declared District Of
ficials had seen fit to assign two
members of the police force to spy
on the truck which brought the
cream into Washington, despite the
fact that the importation Of such
cream constituted only a mlSde-
meanor. He commented. too, that
the seized cream was of the high
est quality
Representative Hull Progressive,
of Wisconsin, who also is taking part
in the move to have the local milk
market opened to producers in the
Middle West and the Northwest,
asked Mr.. Schultz if he thought
the Investigating Committee would
inquire into salaries paid officials
of the dairy companies so that con-
sumers might learn something about
"overhead' costs in the distribu-
ton of milk.
Mr.. Schultz replied he hoped the
committee would get into that"
Hearings Adjourned.
The committee abruptly adjourned
its hearings yesterday afternoon
after taking testimony from Charles
C. Staub, District Health Depart
ment inspector; Thomas W. Eber-
hart. an employe of the Department
of Agriculture, who owns a dairy
farm near Charles Town, w Va,
and John A. Wilson, an official of
a dairy products corporation in
Alexandria, Va.
Mr.. Staub told the committee the
Health Department would have to
keep from three to five inspectors
in dairy plants at all times ade-
quately to police them. He also
recounted some of his experiences
in checking importation of So
called bootleg" cream.
Mr. Eberhart was questioned par
ticularly about letters he wrote to
four members of the Investigating
Committee complaining about the
stringent health regulations sur
rounding the production of milk
for the Washington market.
Examination of Mr. Eberhart de-
veloped these letters were typed in
the Office of the House District
Committee.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER
V-THE HEATING MAN

When we go into finished home,
we may notice radiators or registers,
but we do not see the part of the
heating system inside the walls. In
side the walls are pipes of one kind
of another, but they are hidden by
the laths and plaster over them.
Several weeks ago I looked at a
house which was a little more than
half built. This house was being
fitted with gas-burning furnace
to supply forced air" heat. Between
the 2-by-4 studs" in the walls I
saw quite number of pipes. These
pipes were not round-they were Of
oblong shape, measuring about 4
inches one way and Is inches the
other. The heating men spoke of
them as stacks.
All told, there were about two
dozen stacks in the house. Half of
them were fitted to the furnace in
such way that they would carry
hot air up into the rooms and let
It out of the walls near the ceiling
The other half of the stacks open
near the floor. Their purpose is to
draw In cool air from the rooms and
take 1t down to the basement.
When the air is brought to the
furnace It will be warmed and sent
back. Thanks to filter in a fur
mace OF this kind, the air is strained
as IT makes its trips back and forth.
The filter takes out dust: we are told
Evening star., 1939-04-21

INSTALLATION.
it removes nearly all the dust, and
this gives people better air to
breathe.
Fresh air comes into the house
when windows are raised and when
doors are opened for people to pass
in or out. AS I said some time ago,
there is a certain amount Of leak
age" of air into q house even when
windows and doors are shut. This
is not enough to provide all the
oxygen-filled air needed for health,
but heating experts say it amounts
to q good deal,
Evening star., 1939-04-21
-Men Who Build Houses
BY Fontoine Fox

The heating man must try to fig-
ure out how much leakage there will
be and must allow for fresh air
coming through open windows.
Then he works to figure the num-
Der OF heat units needed to keep
the home warm and comfortable.
After he does this work he decides
the power of the furnace to be used
and the number of stacks. He must
be careful not to put his stacks In
the way of the plumbers pipes!
Many theaters and other large
buildings are cooled these days.
An air-cooling system can be fitted
with the furnace Of a private house.
but this is rather costly and Is not
IN common use today.
Another system is being placed In
some homes. It does not give real
ar-chilling, but it keeps the air
moving through the house on hot
days and sends fairly cool air from
the basement to the floors above.
This is not very expensive, and 1t
makes air in upper parts Of the
house 4 or 5 degrees cooler than the
air outdoors.

South made the mistake, as so
many players do, of drawing trumps
before establishing dummy's long
side suit. West opened the king of
clubs, and after winning with the
ace, declarer promptly drew three
rounds Of trumps. A diamond lead
was won by West. who cashed his
queen Of clubs, then returned an
other diamond. Now South trumped
diamond with his only remaining
trump, but since Vests jack failed
TO drop, the contract was set.
Obviously, this hand should easily
be made. Before even bothering to
touch trumps declarer should lay
down the king of diamonds. It
would then be simple matter to
ruff two diamonds in his hand
thereby establishing the suit. Then,
after the diamond suit had become
established he could draw the
trumps and his losses would have
been held to one trick in each of
three suits.

was such a funny look.
"One would think to look at you"
said he, that you think as much of

Prickly Porky said nothing, but
with those very long front teeth of
his he was biting off little slivers of
the wood and chewing them as if
they were the best food ever. Clear

with which he had been poking
Prickly Porky. He had dropped it
when he fell. Prickly Porky was
very busy with the end which had
been in Farmer Browns Boys hand
He was giving funny little grunts,
and if Farmer Browns Boy was
any judge of Porcupine grunts,
these were grunts of pleasure.

to gnaW at that stick. 1t was very
plain to see that he was very much
pleased with it.

Helpful Legislation

Last week the United States Senate passed bill that we hope the House IS going to find also to it's liking. It was the measure which provided federal loans ard grants to states or communities to aid in eliminating stream pollution. It's great many years now since The Demo- crat first lifted it's voice in support of this movement. We have learned great deal in that time. We have learned not to become discouraged when local or state authorities do not move rapidly towards completion of projects designed to curb pollution. But today just as years ago we are determined that the fight shall continue to make our natural water courses free of sewage and industrial de- poSits.
 We don't know if there is any other section of the nation so badly in need of and rivers Why we should be particu- larly guilty of the sin of using streams as sewage beds we don't know. Of course, it was the natural means of disposal in the old days and it came to be regarded as the cheapest and easiest means of dis posal. But modern health methods changed all that. And another factor also entered the picture. Towns began to reach out for water supplies as their population increased and their small res ervoirs proved entirely inadequate. That's where New England learned the mistake of pollution streams.
 Today is it possible for modern city to have efficient sewage disposal without stream pollution. Slowly but surely science is conquering the problem of turn ing acid and metal wastes from factories into harmless ones, so that natural plant and aquatic life is not harmed. With funds available to increase the rate of stream pollution correction the program could be advanced many years. We sin cerely hope that Congress will make the way easier for such work We trust that, the way made easier, New England will take advantage of the opportunity to aid in ending water contamination.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-08
Even As the Democrats

Republicans are getting just bit glassy-eyed. The budget is giving them the "willies". We hope that it won't get them down for there aren't enough Dem- ocrats on Capitol Hill now to rescue the ship of state if it started to founder. There might be occasion now for some audible chortling on the part Of Democrats around the state, if they weren't as con- cerned as anybody about what is to be done with regard to state finances for the coming biennium. One of those told-you- so expressions could cross countless coun- tenanceS.
 Throughout the campaign last fall there was lot of talk about the Demo- crats running up big deficits i'll the state government There always IS such talk when the Republicans don't control the top offices. There is also talk about how the Republicans had to erase just such a deficit when the late Simeon E. Baldwin, a Democrat, finished his gubernatorial career over 20 years ago. The same thing was to be done this year when Raymond E. Baldwin replaced Wilbur L. Cross. We won't accuse the governor himself of mak- ing any such promises, except to say he did call for balanced budget.
 Well, the balanced budget now seems to be definitely out of the picture, unless the Republicans want to hamstring them selves. They can do that in variety of ways. They could force a legalized gambling bill on the state or they could burden us with state income tax or a sales tax. They can't cut the corners that Governor Baldwin wanted them to do and practically dictated in his hurried budget message of last January. Economy, such as was then suggested, is out for political and other reasons. So what remains?
 So the Republicans are faced by the same facts that Democrats faced eight years ago. They must manage business that has grown tremendously big. Never in the halcyon Roraback days did politi- cal leaders conceive of state services such as are now being supplied; never were institutions considered of the magnitude as our present ones, giving such fine and up-to-date service. Sure we paid our way as we went along, but we didn't keep pace That's why the going has been harder and more expensive of recent years. That's why Republicans ought to forget about what they thought they did in the past and sette down to trying to do now and in the future what the common welfare of the state demands of every one of us, Republican, Democrat, Socialist or any other political denomination. Whole hearted and united effort now will spell success.

Certainly Hammonassett Beach at Madison ought to be restored to its former glory this summer if all the talking and working prove of any avail. And to help things along the Legislature has just dug a cool $50,000 out of some pants pocket which will be spent by the State Park and Forest Commission in putting the fin ishing touches on the shore park. We sincerely hope that when the bathing season rolls around, if it ever does, that Hammonassett will be right in the swim, no pun intended. It is a beautiful spot and it has been developed marvelously by the state It affords lot of recrea- tion and relaxation to thousands of peo- pie all summer long. We feel sure that the several agencies now combining their efforts to remove the traces of the visita- tion of the hurricane will be successful.
