When talking pictures arrived
Walsh decided to correct British

So he sent McLaglen with three
Marines on a fishing trip, hoping
the association would rub off some
of the actors accent.

only one set and small casts, has as
much to do with it as anything else.

New Price Rise
For Milk Hinfed
In U. 5. Survey
Decontrol Board
Again to Discuss
Return Of Ceilings

Even higher dairy prices are in
store for consumers, an Agriculture
Department survey predicted last
night.
Noting that prices of milk and
dairy products have increased
Sharply" since June 80, when price
controls ended, a report of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics said
prices probably will increase 'some-
what higher" over September levels.
Higher prices, the report noted,
apparently have caused a decline in
milk and cream consumption since
the end OF controls.
The report was considered sig
nificant in the light of another meet
ing of the Price Decontrol Board
scheduled for Wednesday. The
three board members will resume
their study of dairy prices and may
decide to return the ceilings on milk
and its products.
Board Expects Data.
A board spokesman said. it Is ex-
pected that data on the subject re-
quested some time ago by the board
would be made available by OPA
and the Agriculture Department in
time for Wednesdays meeting.
The bureaus survey on the Ma
tion's dairy situation also disclosed
that prices received by farmers for
milk in mid-September were II per
cent higher than a year ago. Prices
received for butterfat were 10 per
cent higher.
Retail prices Of cheese and fresh
milk increased to new high levels In
August" the report observed.
The agency predicted that demand
for dairy products would continue
strong and supplies of milk products
will be declining seasonally for the;
rest Of this year. 4
Price Drop Forecast. Il
A drop in prices was forecast for
the first half of next year, but the
report pointed out that both whole
sale and retail prices still would
average more than in the first half
of 1916 when ceilings and subsidies
were in effect"
In August the Decontrol Board
ordered livestock and meat back un-
der. ceilings, but left milk and its
products free. The board left the
way open, however, for recontrol. 1t
said it would watch the price trend
OF milk and should it get out of
hand, then recontrol might be or
dered. =.
The dairy price situation has
taken up much of the time of the
board In its last three meetings.
According to some authorities, It
will be only matter of time before
milk Is recontrolled,
