Arlington 0ueried
On Milk Hearing
Correttd Wants County
To Be Represented

Albert A. Carretta, independent
candidate for the Arlington County
Board, today asked the board If 1t
intended to take q, more enlight-
ened stand than in the past" and
send a representative to tomorrow's
milk price hearing in Alexandria.
The hearing was called on a petit
ton of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association for
price increase of 1h cents a quart.
Mr.. Carretta said that price in
creases representing cost of $780,
600 a year to Arlington and Alexan-
dria residents have come up at these
hearings, but that only Alexandria
was officially represented at the last
hearing.
He charged F. Freeland Chew,
Democratic. board member, with
"choosiness" in opposing official rep
resentation at milk price hearing
in 1941, while advocating representa-
ton at bus rate hearing.
In February, 1941, Mr.. Carretta
said, various civic organizations re-
quested that the board be represent
ed at Milk Commission hearing,
but that Mr.. Chew, the board chair
man, had stated it was not the
pleasure of the board to intervene In
such matters"
What want to know" Mr.. Car
retta said, "is how MIR. Chew
justif1es official representation at a
bus rate hearing and opposes 1t at a
milk price hearing. Certainly one
Is as important as the other in the
life of the county"
