said that the government ulti-

us of the first motion picture she
ever saw.
1t was shown in the early days
of her youth wnen she dwelt along
the Chicago river, days now lost
and almost forgotten in the fast
shuttle of the years.
Like many a young lady who
dwelt along the Hudson, the Po-
tomac, the Mississippi, and the
Cape Fear, she went to see the
pictures that move"
The film was projected at night
on the side of d downtown build

some to cheer. Some scoffed. some

Airlines Join Facilities
For Round World Service

Jack Frye, president of Trans
World Airlines. said yesterday that
joint arrangement had been worked
out with Northwest Airlines by
which the two airlines will put into
operation soon "the shortest round
the-world air service"
Mr.. Frye said the two airlines had
arranged for inter-connecting sched-
ules at Shanghai. This will provide
round-the-world air service OF
0,032 miles and will be approx
mately 1000 miles shorter than any
other authorized route" he said.
For example. Mr.. Frye said, a
TWA passenger could leave New
York on a Trans Worldliner and fly
to Shanghai via Paris, Cairo, Bonn
bay and Calcutta. The one ticket,
purchased in New York, would per-
NIT the passenger to continue his
fight on Northwest planes to Tokyo,
Anchorage, Alaska and back to the
United States
The joint arrangement was made
possible by yesterdays decision OF
the Civil Aeronautics Board award
ing new international routes to the

Commission Agrees
10 19-Cent Milk Price
For Nearby Virginia
BY f.s Assoeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Aug 3.-Three-
cent per quart increases in the mini
mum retail price of milk in six
Eastern Virginia markets were ap-
proved by the State Milk Commits
sion yesterday, but with a larger
portion of the increase earmarkec
for producers than previously hac
been proposed.
The commission also approved 8
Scent retail increase in the Airing
ton Alexandria market, effective to.
day. The boosts in the other mar.
kets are to become operative August
I8, but in all the markets the new
retail minima represent prevailing
prices and call for no further ad-
vance to consumers.
The new schedules include:
Arlington Alexandria, 10 cents per
quart retail. Producer prices in this
market are fixed under Federal mar
keting orders and are now approx
mately $5.35 per hundredweight, plus
premiums amounting to IS to 40
cents.
The retail increases in these mar
kets had been placed in effect by
distributors early in July. and the
orders Of the commission merely in
corporate them in its regulations as
new minimum prices.
The commission also pointed out
that the new schedules provide a
more nearly uniform schedule in
the Eastern Virginia markets, a step
described as necessary to discourage
''raiding" of producers output by the
various competing markets.
The adjustments were prompted
primarily by discontinuance of Fed
eral subsidies with the expiration of
OPA on June 80.
