DISPUTE ON MILK
 PRICE IS COSTLY
BOston's Needy Suffer; ]; General Price Increase
 Is in Prospect

], Boston, Jan. 2.-(uP) -State ofi- cials sought today to end dispute which has doubled the price of milk to more than 100000 needy residents of metropolitan Boston and threat ems to cause a cent-a-quart increase for all consumers.
 State Public Welfare Commission CT Arthur c. Rotch was expected to request a ruling from Attorney General Paul A. Dever on legality of the state, milk control boards rule ing that a minimum of two cents a quart must be paid by the needy for handling of low-cost milk.
 The milk was sold to families on relief for i've cents a quart and to WPA families for seven cents. The federal government has contributed Is cents quart. Full retail prices must be paid because of the dispute.
 Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace had announced withdrawal of financial support of milk distribu- ton to relief recipients and WPA workers unless the state board re- considered the order setting mini- mum price for handling.
 Dealers had been processing and handling the milk for an average of IA cents 8 quart under bids submit- ted to the federal surplus commodi- ties division.
 To compensate for loss of low-cast sales, totaling about 65,000 quarts daily, farmers sought an increase of Il cents per ndredweight. Con- ferences on this increase demand, which would add to general consum- CT prices, were to begin today in the dairy section of the department of agriculture at Washington.
