moral Scourge by reason of Arizo-

marriage racket, Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson of Imperial county supe-
rior court, Wednesday, appealed to
the people of Arizona to correct the
situation.
In letter to Senator James E.
Minotto of Maricopa county, Ari-
zona, Judge Thompson commended
him for his stand in attempting
to get a bill through the legisla-
trre which would require pre-mar-
ital examinations for syphilis. Ac-
ton on the bill was postponed in
definitely by the Arizona body,
however.
ANY bill tending to place the
procedure in connection with mar
riage upon higher plane Judge
Thompson wrote. from the stand
point of physical betterment and
improvement of health as we'll as
to lend more sanctity to the marital
rite, is one which arouses interest
among the thinking people of Cali
fornia. This is because in Cali
fornia we have the so-called eugen-
les law requiring pre-marital med
ica examination and a waiting pc
riod of three days between the
date of application for marriage
license and the issuance thereof" "

OPA Announces Plan

In Coastal Sections

Washington announcement
that a nationwide ceiling
price will shortly be placed
on prices paid to farmers for
she production of fluid milk
was hailed Wednesday in many
quarters here because this will be
the first federal limitation upon

cording TO the Office of Price Ad-
ministration, that no distributor
of fluid milk may pay more to pro-
ducerS for milk than the highest
prices paid for milk delivered in
January 1943.

The milk order will be accom-
panied by another ruling which
will reduce the prices OF alfalfa
hay in California, Washington, and
O;sonc between 81 and SO ton
from "abnormally high levels that
have prevailed"
Until the new government CELL
ing price for milk is established,
Impel ial Valley milk producers are
being paid under price stabiliza-
ton order effective February l fol-
lowing a hearing in Ell Centre in
January. In this order the state de-
partmcnt of agriculture fixed the
minimum price Of milk at $l.07 a
pound of butter fat. This was an
increase of 25 cents pound over
the former minimum price set in
March, 1912, of 80 cents a pound
