Somebody figured out few years
back that in view of labor and
equipment shortages it would be
impossible for dairy farmers to pro-
duce as much milk as was needed
during the war. But the dairy farmer
didn't know it was impossible, so he
just went ahead and did it.
So now that this job has been
done, we can all turn to the next
one-supplying a lot of con-
sumers who gladly cut their con-
sumption during the war years,
in order to help supply bigger
need, and who are hungry now
for high quality dairy products.
With the large production of milk
now available for civilian use we
have an opportunity to boost con-
sumption of dairy products lot
higher than ever before. Authorities
on nutrition tell us that the Ameri-
can people never have used as much
milk and dairy products as they
really need.
High quality dairy products will
do much to encourage greater con-
sumption. There's no surer way to
bring the consumer back for more
cheese, more milk, more butter, or
more ice cream than to give her a
product with a favor and quality
she can't resist.
Quality of dairy products of
course starts on the farm so in the
next few issues of this column l am
going over again the step-by-step
program of producing quality milk
which we've talked about before
Sanitation and proper handling are
The two points which tell the story.
Clean barns, clean cows, clean
utensils and clean workers, proper
cooling and handling are some of
the things we'll bring up again, with
some new angles and some new
literature to talk about on these
important points.

By the Associated Press.
A world free press drive shaped
up today around a request from
President Truman to Congress
for $3.50, 100000 for the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilita-
ton Administration.
<IG took the form OF proposed ban
against use of any UNRRA funds in
foreign countries which do not ac-
cord free access to all news and do
not permit freedom of the press as it
is understood in the United States.
Representative Brown, Republican.
OF Ohio, a newspaper publisher, told
reporters he would offer an amend
ment to accomplish this objective
when the legislation carrying the
new funds reaches the House floor,
probably in several weeks.
Mr.. Truman's request for the
funds was made in a letter to
Speaker Rayburn. announced yes
terday.
Stresses Acute Need.
UNRRA, the President said, needs
the money to meet "acute need and
privation" in Europe during the
coming winter. More funds will be
sought later, he added, so UNRRA
may meet its new responsibilities
and complete its programs.
The President recalled this coun-
try pledged contribution of
81 $50 900 900 when UNRRA was set
up by the Allied nations last year.
Congress already has given the
agency $500, 100000.

Axis oppression throughout the war

in his letter to Mr.. Rayburn.
They look to UNRRA for assist

to speed ample shipments of sup
plies to these war-stricken areas
widespread starvation and disease
will result. Our whole-hearted sup
port will be real contribution
toward a stable and enduring
peace"
Free Press Essential.
Under Mr.. Browns plan a finding
as to which nations would be in

Too often in the past, he asserted.
United States newsmen in some
foreign countries have not been ac-
corded the same access to news that
native reporters have.
Chairman Cannon said the Ap-
preparations Committee will begin
hearings on the UNRRA bill within
few days.
Major Fight Certain.
| A major fight over the recon-
mendations, particularly regarding
any funds beyond the requested
$3.50, ,000, 900, seemed certain. Crit
icism of UNRRA has been voiced
frequently in both the Senate and
House, particularly by several of the
members who toured Europe this

be abolished and that the relief work
be turned over to the Red Cross or
