Cent-a-Quart
Rise in Price
OF Milk Asked
Hearing to Be Held
Thursday on PIeo
OF Producers

Dairy farmers in the Washington
milk shed have petitioned the Ag-i-
culture Department for a price rise
Of bottled milk and cream of cent
per quart, 1t was disclosed today.
Announcement of the proposal
came with the granting by the de-
partment Of a hearing next Thurs
day In the Agriculture Department
auditorium.
The hearing was asked by the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association and the Capitol
Milk Producers Association. The two
organizations represent more than
three -fourths Of dairy farmers In
the Washington milk shed.
Local dairies said they could not
estimate what increase in the retail
price of milk would result until after
the hearing, but that If the petition
is granted by the department con-
sumers will have to pay more for
their milk.
Would Be Effective May 1.
Bruce B. Derrick, manager of the
Maryland and Virginia Association
said the price boosts asked by farm
ers would amount to 46 cents per
hundredweight and would become
effective May /.
1T Is entirely a matter of supply
and demand" Mr.. Derrick said. ITO
make the supply keep up with the
rapid pace Of demand, it is inev-
liable that the necessary price in
centive must be provided. Other
wise there will not be enough milk"
He said the possibilities of OBJ
tanning regular supplies of whole
milk from distant points are quite
remote, as the defense program is
causing an abnormally heavy de-
mand for dairy products generally.
1T takes a lot Of labor to produce
milk and farm help is hard to get
because men are leaving the farms
for higher pay in defense indus
tries" Mr.. Derrick said.
Proposed New Prices.
Under the cooperative proposal
the price of class / or bottled milk
delivered to handlers in the District
would be $403, and for milk deliv-
cred to Maryland handlers it would
be $3.57 per hundredweight.
They also ask that the price of
class milk or cream delivered to
District handlers be increased from
S2.10 to $256. and that the price OF
the same class to Maryland ham
dlerS be increased from $187 to
$2.56 per hundredweight.
Any increases at this time would
not affect the Federal-subsidized
milk programs, including the local
penny-milk project, according to
the Surplus Marketing Administra-
ton Of the department.
The co-operatives also would ex-
tend the Washington milk shed
deeper into Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, which would take
in such localities as Olney, Sandy
Spring, Oakdale, Gaithersburg. Lau-
rel, Bowie, Glenn Dale, Lanham,
Upper Marlboro and Marlboro.

The population problem of war
time Washington has spread to local
hotels, but at least one Of them has
found a solution-as many . tired
businessman has learned.
Answer to the problem at the May
flower Hotel is the Interim Club. 1t
works like this:
A businessman arriving in Wash
ington on an early train for con-
ference on some Government con-
tract finds no rooms available until
late in the day. Meanwhile, he wishes
to spruce up before his appointment
and also wants to check his bags.
He Is taken to the second floor
of the hotel where the Interim Club
has been established. There he finds
showers, lockers, shaving facilities
and a reception room complete with
radio. newspapers and writing desks,
Later in the day, when he returns
from his conference, private room
will be available.
Typical is the case of Carl Eklund,
builder and general contractor from
Lake Ronkonkoma, N. Y. He ar
rived here at $3.50 am. today by
train from New York City and had
