California Officials
Map Court Test Of
.0PA's Authority
Governor Charges Milk
Ceilings Don't Recognize
Increased Dairy Costs
BY the Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, March
l3.-If Central American banana
growers can get an OPA price
boost as a financial attraction, -
California dairymen should get
the same consideration, State Of
ficials contended today as they
mapped plans for a legal test Of
Office of Price Administration
authority.
Gov. Earl Warren called atten-
ton to an OPA order this week
raising the importing price ceiling
on bananas ST per hundredweight
to aid Central American growers,
while California dairymen plead
vainly for higher milk price levels to
stave off an impending milk famine
Gov. Warren authorized prelim-
mary study on test case challeng-
ing the OPA's right to establish
price ceilings on purely local and
intrastate food sales.
Legislators Back Move.
Rebellious and resentful State
legislators, backing Gov. Warren,
charged that the OPA is run by
"half-baked theorists" who are try
ing to establish government by de-
cree
The Governor pointed out that
because OPA ceiling prices on
wholesale and retail milk do not
recognize increased feed and labor
costs for California dairies, thou
sands of valuable dairy cows are be-
ing slaughtered every month.
In the Los Angeles area alone"
he said, "6l4 head are going to the
slaughterhouses every day simply
because the dairymen can't afford
to own them"
If this continues, the milk in
dustry in California will be de-
stroyed."
Court Test Considered.
The Governor emphasized the
court test may be undertaken to find
out what our rights are as State
TO fix minimum prices Of those milk
products which are in no sense a
part of interstate commerce"
California has had minimum price
standards for fluid milk since 1885,
but OPA orders in recent months
have in effect nullifled the States
schedules
Assemblyman Lee Bayshore, who
uttered the "half-baked theorists"
charge, said:
Our duty as legislators is to feed
and care for the people Of Califor-
MIA and. when the OPA restricts us.
we should tell the OPA to go to
hell"

Reds on Central Front

By the Associated Press
WITH THE RED ARMY AT
RZHEV. March 13-American Gen
Grant tanks and Airacobra planes
are helping the Red Army beat back
the Germans on the central front
and were used to assist in the cap
ture of this town, Col. Yakov
Dmitriev said yesterday.
Dmitriev is vice chief of staff OF
the army led by 1t. Gen. Kolpachi
which captured Rzhev. and he said
British Valentine, Matilda and
Churchill tanks also were in action
although, there were not many OF
the American and British machines
He explained the Grants and
Churchills were magnificent. very
powerful and fast, but said their low
clearance reduces the speed over the
deep snow of Russia by 5 miles an
hour"
Therefore" he added. they lost
one of their greatest qualities-high
speed - making them excellen,
targets for enemy fire"
Most of the American and British
tanks are being used in flankins
| movements where heavy armor anc
| speed were not necessary, he said.

Eden S Peace Aims
Identical in Principle
With RooseveIt's
Ideas on Postwar Plans,
Revealed in Speeches,
Parallel u. S. Views
Bv the Associated Press.

British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden-here for conferences with
President Roosevelt-may find it diff =
ficult to promote postwar meetings
of all the United Nations, but he
should have little trouble trying to
dovetail his English views with the
American ideas on After victory
What?"
Speeches delivered by the 45-year-
old diplomat since the outbreak of
the war in Europe show his peace
aims to be identical in principle with
those so far enunciated by the Pres
ident and Secretary of State Hull.
In his first comprehensive state
ment of British aims, Mr.. Eden de-
clared in London May %, 1941, that
Britain's political and military terms
of peace will be designed to prevent
repetition of Germany's misdeeds.
Sees German Role.
The Foreign Secretary said then
that under the system of free eco
nomic cooperation Germany must
play a part. But here he drew a
firm distinction, adding:
I'VE must never forget that Ger
many Is the worst master Europe has
yet known. Five times in the last
century she has violated the peace
She must never be in position to
play that role again"
Then, in July, 1912. Mr.. Eden
sketched the outlines of the future
peace in a speech at Nottingham,
England. which was generally re-
garded as the most definite pro-
nouncement of Britain's after-war
policy up to that time.
Proposes Aid Program.
He named the three urgent
problems of peace for the United
States. Britain. Russia. China and
the other United Nations as:
l. Complete disarmament of the
aggressor powers.
2. Feeding of the starving pop,l-
lations.
3. Enabling the devastated, i'm
poverished and economically unde-
veloped countries to restart their
industry and agriculture.
Would Preserve independence.
Two principles which should gov
ern the solution of these problems
he listed as follows:
/. Receipt of financial and eco
nomic aid must not result in the
loss of the independence of any
country"
2. Any assistance or guidance
given a country "unpracticed in the
art of self-government must be such
as to help it achieve its own de-
velopment"
In essense, these points parallel
the postwar ideas voiced by the
American leaders.
