Chairman McCarran of the Senate
District Committee has introduced

Study Milk Prices
T McCurrun Offers Bill
To Permit District
Cream Importation

A request that Federal Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson confer
with Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard before action is taken on pro-
posed amendments to the present
milk marketing order was made yes
terday by Representative Schultz,
Democrat of Indiana, in letters to
the two officials.
At the same time. Chairman Nc
Carran of the Senate District Com
mittee introduced a bill to permit
general importation of cream into
Washington, a measure Identical
with one offered in the House two
weeks ago by Representative Schultz.
The plea of the Maryland-Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association
for a cent-a-quart increase is still
being considered by the Agriculture
Department, following public hear
ings on the amendment to the Fed
eral milk marketing order more than
q month ago.
In the latest of his series of letters
to- the Agriculture Secretary, Repre-
sentative Schultz said he had beer
informed that the association had
threatened a price rise on Septem-
ber /, If the Agriculture Depart
ment does rot act on its request
for an increase by that time.
He charged that the association
ais going to attempt to whip the De-
partment of Agriculture into line
by taking the bit in its teeth and
plunging through all opposition with
the full expectation that you, Mr.
Secretary, are going to fall into line
and give this ingenious plan your
blessing"
He expressed hope that the Sec
retary would not allow himself to
"be stampeded into action by the
willy plans of the Maryland-Virgini
Milk Producers Association.
In his letter to Mr.. Henderson
Representative Schultz said he could
supply the price administrator with
facts and figures" to justify his
contention that consumer milk prices
should not be increased at this time
