VIOLENCE DOESN'T WORK

The recent "milk strike" in the
New York area is an example Of
mistaken tactics on the part OF a
limited group Of farmers.
Described as a farmer sponsored
strike against constituencies deal
ers, it soon became apparent that
in reality the principal victim would
be the farmer himself. For, in the
New York milk shed, as elsewhere,
marked progress in getting better
break for the producer has been &C.
complished by marketing co-opera-
tive organizations. These co-ops op-
posed the strike, knowing that it
could be disruptive to their work.
In this they were supported by the
bulk of farmers, citizens and public
officials.
A strike such as this is invariably
a mistaken tactic, of a boomerang
nature,

Milk Needs Cleanliness
To Retain Healthful Aids

Ever since the earliest days, milk
has been considered one of the most
healthful foods. Exaggerated pow
ers were ascribed to it by the an
clients and many hoary legends
regarding its properties still persist.
But with all the virtues intelligent
people concede to milk today, we
know that under certain conditions
it can also be menace, since bac-
terra, as well as human beings,
thrive on milk.
Public health officials, recogniz-
ing the potential dangers Of unclean
bacteria laden milk, spare no effort
to safeguard its production, ham
ding, and transportation. The milk
delivered to the householder's door
step is unquestionably safe. But
whether or not it remains so de-
ponds upon the consumer. If milk
is to be fit for consumption, it must
be kept clean and cold within the
home.
Clean containers, clean glasses,
clean and sterilized bottles for the
baby, and the maintenance Of clean
hands by the person who pours the
milk, serves it, and uses it in food
preparation, are all links in the
chain of sanitation needed to keep
milk fresh and wholesome. Only If
these safeguards are observed can
milk uphold its reputation for
healthfulness.

STATE EGG SUPPLY HELD IN
ADEQUATE

Maryland poultrymen were told
insufficient eggs were produced in
the State for local consumption.
DIR. S. H. De Vault, professor of
agricultural economics at the Uni
versity of Maryland, told producers
"The 29,O00,00O dozens of eggs
produced annually in Maryland are
not sufficient to meet the demands
of the State. Only 81 percent con-
sumed in the State are produced
locally, that is in Maryland, Della
ware and Virginia."
The remainder are imported from
twenty-eight states.
He urged them to pay more at
tention to proper grading and pack
aging of eggs, thereby enabling
them to obtain higher prices.
"Only seven percent of eggs sold
in retail stores are sold under trade
names and in cartons he said.

The Agriculture Department We'd

Plans for abandonment of the
subsidy program, except for exports

department has paid a bounty on
1873 .250O00 bushels of wheat at
cost OF about $33,OOO,OOO. The sub
sidy rate on some recent sales was as
high as 33 cents a bushel.
Unless there is a drastic change
in the relation between American

no additional wheat will move
abroad, officials said Domestic
prices have been running between
80 and IS cents bushel above world
prices, thereby placing American
grain at a market disadvantage.

Marshall Says Army May Need
&C. c. Aid in Emergency
Only Non-Combotont Work Considered

Gen. George c. Marshall, Army
chief of staff, said today that in
an emergency the Army would need
to make use of some of the Civilian
Conservation Corps members for the
same types of n-combatant work
they are doing now.
He emphasized. however, that the
Army had not proposed any sort
of formal military training for the
c. C. c. enrollees and was not even
making any plans or studies for
using the C. c. C. as a non COM
batant auxiliary to Army troops.
1t will be time to think of that If
and when an emergency should
arise, he indicated.
Gen. Marshall's comment followed
publication of an article in the Army
and Navy Register, service publi-
cation, which said President Roose-
velt might be called upon to decide
a controversy between Army and
c. C. C. officials over a proposal
to employ C. C. C. volunteers as

| A finding that Harry Bridges was
'energetically radical in his aims
out was not member of nor afiliat-
ed with the Communist party opened
the way today for the West Coast
C. I. o. leader to escape deporta-
ton to his native Australia.
The finding was submitted to Sec
retary of Labor Perkins by James
M. Lands. Harvard Law School
dean, who she appointed to con-
duct hearing to determine whether
Mr.. Bridges was deportable.
Dean Lands made no recommen-
dation, but his finding was expected
to carry great weight with Secre-
tary Perkins in her final determina-
ton of whether Mr.. Bridges can
remain in his adopted land.
Labor Department attorneys said
approval of the Lands report by
Miss Perkins would mean the can
collation. of the deportation warrant
issued against Mr.. Bridges in March,
1898. and the closing Of the case.
Witnesses Credibility Criticized.

witnesses who paraded to the stand
with evidence purported to link the
c. I. O. leader with the Communist
party. Dean Lands said the testi-
mony failed to establish that he
had joined or affiliated with the
party.
Since he could find no evidence
to prove the allegation of member
ship or afhliation. Dean Lands did
not make any findings on the Ques-
ton of whether the Communist
party was an organization advocat-
ing the overthrow of this Govern
ment by force or violence.
After weighing the evidence and
credibility of the witnesses and Mr..
Bridges own testimony on his social
and political beliefs, Dean Lands
said:

Mr.. Bridges was seen in closed Com
munist meetings on the West Coast
and contributed to the party.
Dean Lands described one witness
as "self-confessed liar" One he
said was neither a candid nor a

testimony he declared, "in evasion,
qualification and contradiction, it is
