DairYmen Will Garry
Price Fight to Brown;
Hit Freeze as ILLEGAL
Producers Surprised
To Learn New Order
Wos Effective SATURDAY.
Was Effective Saturday

Amid charges that the ONCE
OF Price Administration had
failed to call representative hear
ings on the order freezing milk
producer prices, dairymen from
more than Is States prepared
today to carry their fight for a
suspension Of the order to Price
Administrator Brown following
q White, House conference yes
terday with Judge Marvin Jones
agricultural adviser to Economic
Sterilization Chief James F
Byrnes.
The delegation, which included
representative of the National Milk
Producers Federation, the National
COOPERATIVE Council. the American
Farm Bureau Federation and nu-
merous State milk commissions.
learned yesterday that the tempo
rary OPA order became effective
last Saturday.
Dairy trainers hold the order will
result in hardships as they find they
can no longer pay adequate wages
to farm help or receive enough for
their product to remain in business.
Supply Jeopardized.
OPA announced the forthcoming
price ceiling on milk paid dairy
farmers about 10 days ago, but no
date was set when it would become
effective. With its issuance Satur-
day the freeze remains in operation
through April 8.
A spokesman for the American
Farm Bureau Federation declared
today that the order was going to
play havoc" with milk production at
a period when it begins its seasonal
increase, The milk supply in many
areas, he held. is being jeopardized
by the OPA action.
He further charged that the new
order ignored the Price Sterilization
Act OF October 2 which specified
that no notifications shall be made
in agricultural commodities if CELL
ngs would hamper production.
, The group yesterday urged suspen-
sion OF the order until such time as
hearings were held and full study
given the matter. An official of the
cooperative council reported Judge
Jones had agreed that insufficient
time had been given dairy inter-
ssts to make representations to OPA.
1t was Judge Jones suggestion that
dairymen confer further with Mr..
Bowen, the official said
Action Was Surprise.
The Farm Bureau spokesman
maintained that when the group
met yesterday the majority was I'M
aware that OPA had put the price
ceiling in effect, as there had been
no publicity on Saturdays action.
The OPA said it had issued a single
paragraph release Saturday with a
copy of the order. The latter was
published in today's Federal Regis
ter.
Another farm official pointed out
that there is no need for the price
ceiling AS dairymen are mot indulg-
ing in any runaway prices" State
Milk Commissions, he held, were
doing "a good job in holding down
prices
He cited conditions existing in
the Los Angeles area, where dairy
men must pay mixers more than
5000 month in order to compete
with high labor salaries on the West
Coast The ceiling will result in
great hardship to these producers.
The OPA order establishes maxi
mum prices at the highest prices
paid by individual buyers for milk
delivered last month.
