Maryland, Virginia
Dairymen Will Ask
93c Price Boost
Demand for Original
Request Will Be Made
To FDA Chief

A brief. insisting that milk pro-
ducers supplying the Washington
market be given the 93-cent-a-
hundredweight increase originally
requested by dairymen, was being
prepared today by the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation for submission to Food Dis
tribution Administrator Roy F.
Hendrickson.
The Agriculture Department an
nounced earlier this week that FDA
had drafted an amendment to the
Federal milk marketing agreement
which would give producers a 40
cent increase. This would result
in a cent-a-quart increase In milk
to local consumers.
Monday Is Deadline.
Producers as we'll as consumers
have until Monday to file excep-
tions to the price proposal. A pub
lie hearing was held on the pro-
ducers' petition last month.
Bruce B. Derrick, secretary treas
urer of the association, termed the
Agriculture Department action a
penny wise, pound foolish policy"
and claimed the department had not
gone half far enough in agreeing on
the price increase to farmers.
ut is unreasonable to ask pro-
ducers to carry the increased costs
OF production" he said in pointing
out that milk has not kept pace
with other food price increases.
Since January /, 1941, total food
costs have increased 33 per cent
here, he said, while milk prices have
increased only 4 per cent in stores
and per cent for home deliveries.
Warns of Possible Shortage.
He said he believed people would
prefer to pay 2 cents more for milk
than mot to have any at ALL" Mr..
Derrick has warned several times
that milk supplies here would reach
a critical stage unless something is
done to encourages farmers to re-
main in business.
Farmers are selling their calves,
which in time would be producing
milk, in increasing numbers because
they find it impossible to maintain
them without labor and better
prices, Mr.. Derrick said. At Balti-
more and Richmond markets 1874 per
cent more calves are being slaught-
cred now than in 1941, he estimated.
Since last october "a dairymen
supplying milk here have been
forced to close down, he said.

j. T. Kelly of the War Produc-
ton Board plumbing and heating
division, said when asked about the
rooming house proprietors dilem-
ma, that it was true that he would
have to obtain a preferential rating
to buy a new bathtub and that sec
ond-hand ones were becoming
scarce
of course I don't know what ef-
forts this man made to obtain. a
preference, Mr. Kelly said. 1T is a

FBI Thwarts
Axis Saboteurs,
Bidd|e Says
But Dangerous Alien
Influence Still Exists,
Judicial Group Hears

The sinister hand Of the enemy
saboteur has been shackled by vigi-
liant Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton in Americas first year of the
present war. but there is a small
group of dangerous enemy infiu-
ence' within the Nation itself, At
torney General Biddle told the
Districts third annual Judicial Cir
cult Conference in it's opening ses-
sion at the United States Court Of
Appeals today.
At the same time, both Mr.. Bid
die, who, it was revealed, had turned
down Supreme Court appoint
ment, and Chief Justice Harlan F.
Stone, voiced the hope that America
and its courts will be kept free of
war hysteria.
There has been no active sabo-
tage in the United States in over
year of the war" Mr.. Biddle said,
adding that investigation has failed
to uncover any act which could be
traced to a foreign enemy.

ment agencies" He added, however,
there is small group" of dan
gerous enemy influence" within the
country itself. He did not expand
on this statement.
Mr.. Biddle was introduced to the
audience of approximately 200.
which included many of the most
distinguished legal minds in the
Nation. by Chief Justice D. Law
renee Groner of the appellate tribu-
nal. Justice Groner said:
Il don't know that I have a right
to say this, but it occurred to me
as l was thinking of him when a
little while ago a vacancy occurred
In the highest court of the Nation,
it was entirely up to him whether
he would return to a judicial life
by assuming a place On that great
court or whether he would continue
giving his time to serve the Nation
in its political life"
First speaker of the day was Chief
Justice Stone, who, like Mr.. Biddle,
spoke briefly and extemporaneously.
He urged that cases reaching the
courts be tried without the pas
slons and prejudices" that are
aroused by war.
Asks Calm in Courts.
"Of course" he said, 'it is the
unpleasant task, or will be for some
of us, to conduct trials of Anen
charged with crime who are enemies
within our midst, saboteurs, men
guilty of espionage, or even treason.
1 think it is the duty placed upon
all OF us to see to it in the conduct
OF those cases, as in all others, that
the emotions of war are kept out
OF the courtroom; that all cases
should be tried without the influ-
ences of the passions and prejudices
that are aroused by war"
Mr.. Biddle also touched on the
problem of civil liberties in wartime
and observed that the fear in the
public mind year ago that war
would make it impossible for Amer
lea to preserve civil liberties has
almost disappeared"
The Attorney General also touched
on the wartime conflict between the
executive and legislative branches of
the Government and said he is mot
disturbed by the normal disagree
ment' in these spheres.

failure to provide adequate bathing
facilities for his roOmers.
Joseph H. Sheppard, operator of

Daniels as national champion
was participant in a motorcycle
race in 1899 on tracks owned by the
Norwih Lodge of Elks. In the
course of the contest the Middle
bury residents motorcycle over
turned and injuries received in the
spill caused paralysis of his body
from his neck down.
Litigation brought against the
lodge and also the Norwich Recre-
ational association was drawn out
over q period of more than two
years, with numerous technical
pleadings involved. On October 2
of last year Superior Court Judge
John Rufus Booth granted a judg-
ment for the defendants on the
ground the plaintiff failed to plead
to special defense.
The defendants claimed the plain
tiff signed an entry blank which
stipulated that he entered the race
at his own risk and would not hold
the track manager or owners re-
sponsible for any injury. Although
numerous hearings on pleadings
were conducted the litigation did
not extend to the point of trial.
Today Daniels mother claimed
her son persuaded her last Feb. 81
to "quit-claim' Middlebury proper
ty to him on the promise he would
support her for life and that she
would retain life use of the prem
ises. The complaint, filed in super
ior court. states the agreement was
a fraud because the son is a "hope-
less invalid" and without any funds
to give support. The plaintiff seeks
a reScission of the quit claim deed
and also $4,000 damages.
IN a common count writ filed in
common pleas court Mrs. Daniels
claims her son owes her 81 ,O5O. The
date of the debt is listed as Nov.
80, 1943, but no details are furnish
ed. More specific allegations will
be contained in an amended COM
plant to be filed later.
Daniels in his superior court suit
claimed he sustained broken back
and fractured spine in the accident.
His complaint stated he has lost all
sense of feeling in his body, arms,
and legs. He alleged further that
an ascending kidney ailment result
ed and that it would continue until
1t results in death. The accident
occurred Aug. 81, 1899.
