In the featured Cecilton- Milford

fresh from an upset win over Har-

with a to first quarter bulge.
However, the Vets rallied in the
second quarter to assume a 1910
half time lead, which was stretched
to 33 to LII by the time the three
quarter mark was reached. De-
spite frequent substitutions, the
Vets doubled the count on the fad
ing visitors in the final period to
attain a 1927 final score. Dick
KINNEY hit his 1946-47 pace to cop
scoring honors with 20 points;
Dick Emory with eleven and John
Williams with eight, were second
and third, respectively, in the scor-
ing. Twelve men saw action for
Milford with ten breaking into the
scoring. Hines and Worrell, two
newcomers to the Cecilton team,
led the visitors scoring with six
points each.

DAVIS SUBMITS HIS CASE ON BEHALF OF COOP

such reasonable charge for services rendered." Davis dis agrees.
 He claims the actual cost of handling the product can't be called a reasonable charge for the service" Any corporation which charges its customers only the cost of a service without making provision for overhead, interest, depreciation, insurance, and other items will ultimately go broke,' the Coop lawyer an- nounces.
 Repeats Assertion
 In 1945, the Coop proceeded exactly as in former years, Davis goes on. There simply was only a small amount to re-distribute, he repeats, and the dairymen have claimed they are entitled to receive all the proceeds of their department, as per the Co., op books, he alleges.
 Davis then fails Grigsby's arguments, calling them ''Villi- fication of the defendant. Grigs- by had claimed that the defense had abandoned it's case. Davis derides this statement. He says plaintiff ignored the fact that his own witnesses testified that all the milk received was pro- cessed within the meaning of the marketing agreement and that defendant never made the de- ductions provided for in the con- tract.
 . The defense never abandoned the case, Davis insists, claiming there was no need to call witness es since the plaintiffs own wit nesses bolstered the defense's case.
 Milk Statistics
 Davis contends further that there was no proper basis for distinguishing between what he terms the "so-called" creamery and the "so-called" dairy nor was there any reason to try to
Valley frontiersman., 1947-11-01

ged. The plaintiff and his as- signors have the same right |. as every other members of the corporation to see that the board of directors operates the corpor- ation in the manner provided by law If plaintiff believes they have been aggrieved by the actions of the Board of Didec- tors, their procedure is to elect a board of directors which will carry out the policies which they want carried out and not to bring suit to attempt to collect the so-called net profits of their department of the corporation. |.
 '"The undisputed testimony is that the facilities used in making the dairy-creamery profit were
Valley frontiersman., 1947-11-01

purchased and paid for by the defendant as a whole, and not by the dairy-creamery portion of the defendant The defend ant corporation is a unit. The dairy-creamery department of defendant does not exist except as part of the activities of the defendant corporation.
 "The claim of the plaintiff is without foundation in fact and his suit should be dismissed with costs to the defendant"
Valley frontiersman., 1947-11-01

chorage had today filed in the district court his arguments as counsel for the Matanuska Val ley Farmers Cooperating As sociation. Davis answered At torney George Grigsby who re- presents the p dairy farmers who have sued the Coop.
 Grigsby must still reply to Davis lengthy brief and then, after re-examining all the writ ten arguments and pondering the weighty mass of testimony, Judge Anthony P. Dimond will make his decision.
 The volume of data has en- tailed an enormous amount of work for both Grigsby and Davis and the case has stretched out longer than any civil case of re- cent years.
 Co-op's Side of Issue
 :. Davis arguments, which na- turally are summing up of the Co-op's side of the case, main tain that there are three pertin- ent questions for the court to consider: CD Did the defendant (the Co-op) purchase milk from the producers in 1945 at flat rate per 100 pounds or did the association merely advance so much per hundred pounds with all the proceeds to go to the dairy producers at the end of the year after certain deductions were made; @ if it is an ad- vance, then are the deductions authorized and set forth in the contract to apply only to ex- penses of handling the milk; in other words, do they apply to the expenses of the entire associ- aton; and (3) is the court to con- sider the ''so-called profit" of the dairy-creamery association for 1945, or the profit of the associ- ation as whole?
 Davis asserts that it is vital to find out whether or not milk was processed or manufactured into a new or changed product lon the account of the defend ant" and if so whether the Co., op exercised it's option to pur- chase the food on its own ac- count and pay therefore a flat delivery price or whether it handled the milk on pool ba- sis."
 Davis Contention
 The plaintiff claims the milk was not processed into a new product, Davis contends, while he insists that it was purchased at the flat delivery rate and pro- cessed into a changed or new" product, and therefore the Co., op "owes the plaintiff nothing by means of such transaction .. except their proportionate share of the profits of the association" Davis maintains that witnesses for the plaintiff sharply dis agreed over the marketing agreement. He claims that the producers themselves admit they received money each two weeks based on a flat delivery price and they were to receive more money at the end of the year.
 Other witnesses for the plain tiff were just as emphatic, ac- cording to Davis, that milk had always been bought by the Co., op at flat delivery price, and that "never in the history of the association had the producer been paid all the proceeds of his milk, less the particular deduc- tions authorized"
 Only Small Profit
 f The Coop, Davis continues, made only a relatively small profit for 1945. He says the Co., op offered to pay the dairy farm

segregate revenue into separate channels.
 All the milk producers in 1945 sold both Grade A and B milk to the Coop. They received $136, ,143.47. Plaintiff received $84, ,867.9O, Davis says. In other words, plaintiff furnished the Coop with 62.3 percent in dollar value of all the milk produced by the Coop.
 Davis claims that Witness Snodgrass testified that all over the U. s. the milk producer re- ceived about 50 percent of the consumers dollar for his pro- duct. Tn this case" Davis main- tains, taking the average figure for Grade A milk at $6.93 per hundred pounds, and figuring milk at 8.3 pounds per gallon, we find the producer in this case has received 57.5 cents per gal lon or 14.25 cents per quart for his milk in 1945 or approximate ly 57.5 per cent of the consumers dollar ."
 Alaska Corporate Law
 In the compiled laws of AL aska under the section dealing with distribution of net earnings of a corporation, the law states that the distribution is based on net earnings of all the corpora tions and not on any subdivision of the corporation, Davis af- firms. He then quotes from the law as follows: Dividends are not guaranteed, but are declared payable when, and if, in the opinion of the Board of Direc- tors, net earnings justify it."
 Summings up his argument, Davis says in part: ". ;. Most, if not all the milk producers, to some extent at least, are also sellers of other produce or at least deal with the Trading Post and with the garage, and if the produce department and the ga- rage and the Trading Post actual ly lost money in the year 1945, each of the claimants to some extent contributed to that loss.
 Plaintiffs real complaint is not that he is entitled to more money, but that he believes the corporation has been mismana-

receive a cut instead on every raise over $11O 8 month salary.
 Veterans organizations and labOe unions attacked this plan and there are now pending before the VeS erans' Affairs Committee some ID bills which would lift or remove the ceiling.
 The decision of tackling the at- lotment problem at the committees first meeting was made after Gen. Bradley submitted a report.
 Gen. Bradley revealed that 8 percent of 4OO,O 900 veterans on edu-- cation-training rolls had their sub sistence payments reduced or elim- mated since the amendment to the CT Bill went into effect. About 28, 900, or 2 percent. lost all their subsistence pay. and 79 per cens of the same 100000 will eventual ly have their allotments decreased or taken away altogether,
 Mrs. Rogers said the committee was studying the report.
