Hearing Is Ended
In Fight for Slash
In Milk Price
Decision on Complaints
In Arlineton-A n-Alexondrio
Area Due in 6 Weeks

The Virginia Milk Commission
concluded yesterday its three-day
hearing on price-fixing complaints
from the Arlington-AleXandria area
and gave both sides involved in the
dispute 80 days to file briefs, with
an additional IS days for filing
SS-briefs.
The commission indicated de-
cision will not be reached for from
six weeks to two months.
Admitting fears that the first
round of the fight for cheaper milk
had been lost, H. c. Feddersen,
chairman of the Citizens Milk Con-
sumers' Committee for the area,
said a meeting will be called i'm
mediately TO settle on a plan of ac-
ton and to determine whether steps
will be taken now or whether they
will be postponed until after the
commissions decision.
Purchase in ID. c. Urged.
although we can do nothing
legally until the commission for
mally acts" Mr.. Feddersen said, we
intend to urge more and more resi-
dents of the area to purchase milk
in Washington, where it is availa-
BILE at two quarts for 10 cents"
Officials of the committee indi-
Gated they will seek relief through
the courts if the commission denies
their request for lower milk prices,
based on the complaint that the
price-flXing activities of the COM
mission are forcing Virginia families
to buy milk in Washington.
Comparative Prices Cited.
During the closing day of the
hearing, David Greer, Boston at
torney representing three diaries in
The area, said comparative prices
cited during the first two days of
the hearing could not be accepted
as normal as they were based on
figures in effect during a Washing
ton price war" Normally, he
added, prices for milk delivered in
Washington are the same as those
for milk delivered in Virginia, al
though the cash-and-carry prices
are different.
After the hearing Chairman N
j. Webb of the commission said the
commission would carefully con-
slider" the advisability of permitting
sale of milk in two-quart containers
in the area at reduced price. a step
suggested by State Senator William
D. Medley of Arlington. Citizens
committe members, however, ex-
pressed belief the price still would
be well above that in Washington.

tribution toward the Improvement
OF human relations.
In announcing the theme of the
observance, the local leaders said:
America needs solidarity
among Protestants, Catholics and
Jews for two purposes. First, to
arouse citizens against the dangers
of disunity involved by the activ-
tiles Of individuals melting hatred
of particular religious and racial
groups; second, to supply the spir-
itual power and vision adequate
for the difficult social and eco
nomic problems in our own coun-
try which lie ahead.
National unity, however, does
not mean uniformity of opinion on
all issues of public life. 1t does not
imply the kind of unity enforced
in totalitarian c%ountrie:- where
opinions on social, political ano
economic matters must conform
with those promulgated by t h {
ruling powers.
1T means unity of spirit binding
citizens together in a common de.
votion to American democratic
ideals, and unity of action on mat.
tiers of common concern to Ameri
cans of all faiths and classes as
citizens of the one democracy" !
