himself for a fourth term for Presi-

Cream S Fat Content
OPA Considers Plan
To Place Product Under
Flat Price Over Country
By GEORGEH. ENGEMAN.

Washington dairymen are
seeking official permission to
lower the butterfat content of
cream sold in the District area
by almost so per cent, it was re-
vealed today.
At the same time. it was learned
that the OPA. seeking to control
the rapidly developing dairy prod
ucts crisis is studying the possibility
of establishing fiat price for cream
all over the country.
The proposed cream product
would have a butterfat content of
only II per cent in contrast with the
present legal minimum of 20 per
cent. Before it can be marketed it
must have the approval Of num-
ber of agencies Dairymen said the
product already is being sold in
Chicago.
Broached to District.
The subject already has been
broached to the District Health De-
partment by the Embassy Dairy.
Health officers referred the applica-
ton to the District Commissioners,
who sent it to Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech for an opinion
on its legality.
/ Mr.. Keech said today he would
submit his opinion to the CommlS-
sioners and it is understood he is
prepared to give the thinner cream
legal clearance.
In addition to health and legal
problems, the product must meet
OPA price regulations. In addition
an order from the War Food Ad-
ministration must be secured James
j. Ward, president of Embassy, saio
all the other dairies in the city pro-
pose to sell the product.
=, Washington dairymen are attempt
ing to get an appointment with high
VIA officials this afternoon OF
tomorrow to seek support of theil
proposal The plan would necessitate
a relaxation of the order ISSUED
several weeks ago which limited
dairy deliveries to 100 per cent of the
milk and IS per cent OF other dairy
lproducts sold during the month Of
June.
Even a name for the proposed
product is lacking. In Chicago. 1t i.
