Drive Launched
For Low.Price
Milk for Needy
Consumer Committee
Leads Educational
Compoign

A city-wide educational cam
paign aimed at enlsting universal
support for program that would
provide persons on relief and w. P.
A. rolls in Washington with milk
at 5 or cents quart was launched
here yesterday.
The drive got under way under
the leadership of the Consumers
Milk Committee on the eve of the
expected publication of milk mar
keting agreement for the Washing
ton area, which would establish
Federal supervision over the price
to be paid by dairies to farmers
producing milk for the District.
1t is believed that Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace will sign the
agreement tomorrow and submit it
to the dairy farmers in this milk
shed for their approval.
Two Cities Have Similar Program.
The agreement contains a clause
inserted at the request of the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association, controlling 80
per cent of the milk production for
Washington - providing that the
farmers will take an especially low
price for milk to be distributed to
persons on relief and w. P. A. rolls.
This sort of program is already in
effect in Boston and Chicago.
Mrs. Simon Newman, president OF
the Consumers Committee, said at
a luncheon meeting yesterday at the
Y. w. c. A. that the institution Of
the program must be preceded by
a campaign to arouse public opinion
in its support and to enlist the CO.
operation of the District govern
ment.
Mrs. Newman reported there is
possibility that the w. P. A. here
will finance the mechanics Of the
program if it is undertaken.
Donald Montgomery, consumers
counsel of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, explained to
the meeting that the relief milk pro-
gram in operation requires the CO.
operation of FIVE groups:
The milk producers, who would
take the low price.
The milk distributors, who in COM
petitive bidding, pasteurize, bottle
and deliver the milk to depots for
q lower price than they usually as
sign to those operations.
The Federal Government, through
the Agriculture Department, which
u,n,,1l y4rNvYiIA c1yhciNHy RI ko
possible the retail sale at cents
quart.
The local government, which su-
pervises the mechanics of the distri-
button, arranges for the ,depots, etc.
Interested private groups, which
arouse enthusiasm and gain popular
and local governmental support for
the program.
Aid Of Praivate Groups Sought.
The committee approved a motion
that it present the District Commis-
sioners with full information about
the possible cost of the program to
the District government. They de-
termined also to seek the support of
all private groups interested in the
Districts welfare. Mrs. Newman
said the Board of Public Welfare ap-
proves the plan.
DR.. Montgomery said that in Bos-
ton 100000 persons on relief have
been buying $4,000 quarts day
through the program and that in
Chicago 100000 quarts day are be-
ing sold through the program.
DR.. Daniel Seckinger, assistant
District health officer. and DR.. Louise
Stanley, chief of the Bureau of
Home Economics, Agriculture De-
partment, said lack of milk in the
diet contributed to a high rate of
pulmonary diseases, like tuberculosis
and pneumonia.

trant state which stands in the way
of axis ambitions. Rumania is al
ready in German hands; with Hun
gary's support assured, Yugoslavia
is already partly surrounded, while
there is no report as to any Bulgar

be that, for the sake of Turkish sus-
capabilities, Bulgaria's part is to
remain neutral for the time being,
but act as a counterWeight against
the Turks while Yugoslavia is
reduced.
1t is doubtless because Of this pos
Sibllity of German advance south
ward, either through Yugoslavia or
Bulgaria, that the Greeks have not
been able to keep up their pursuit
of the beaten Italians. They have
not enough troops to advance in
force into Albania, if they have to
maintain a strong garrison in their

Salonika. 1t should be remembered,
however, that the So-called en-

every German Bulear effort TO
take it in the last war, over period
of three years, and eventually was
the base for an allied advance into
the heart of the Balkan peninsula.

B0LTER5IARE :" AS5AiLEDBY
 PRESIDENT

HYDE PARK, N. r., July B. President Roosevelt asserted today that he understood that the Dem ocratic party had recently bolted from Senator Burke in Nebraska and that he thought that the minds of Lewis Douglas and John Hanes, former New Deal officials, who had offered support to Wendell L. Willkie for President, ran more to dollars than humanity.
 Questions asked the President at his first press conference since his acceptance of his third term nomination produced these remarks against three anti-third term Dem- ocrats who have pledged support to Willkie.
 James Reed, former Democratic Senator from Missouri also was ashailed by President Roosevelt.
 Criticism of Burke was prompted by inquiry as to whether the Presi- dent thought the word bolt" &C., curately described the Senator's ac- tion in urging the maintenance of the two-term tradition by throwing his support to Willkie.
 Burke was defeated for renomin- ation as Senator in Nebraska's re- cent primary election by Governor Cochran, indicating to the Presi- dent that the party had "bolted" from Burke.
 Hanes had served as a member of the Securities Commission and as Under Secretary of the Treas ury and Lewis Douglas was for merly Budget Director. Both al- nounced yesterday that they would work for the election of Wendell L.. Willkie Republican Presidential aspirant. sd-
