Dairy League Charged
In Price Manipulation
Of New York Butter
Commodity Exchange Act
Invoked; 84-Cent Low
Set, U. S. Asserts
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The Gov.
ernment charged today in 6
criminal information that the
Dairymen's League Cooperative
Association, Inc, it's president
Henry H. Rathbun, and three
members of the Executive Com
mittee manipulated the price OF
butter on the New York Mercan-
tile Exchange for five days last
month.
The information specifically
charged violation of the Commodity
Exchange Act. 1t provides that any
person who manipulates or attempts
to manipulate the price of any COM
modify in interstate commerce Is
guilty of misdemeanor.
The charges stemmed from the
drop of 10 cents pound in the
wholesale butter price on December
26 after organized support by dairy
interests was withdrawn.
Rathbun Defends Action.
In Albany, Mr.. Rathbun said the
Leagues action in what he called
maintaining the price of milk by
stabilizing the butter market pro-
tected milk consumers by "insuring
their supply and producers by head
ing off decline of their income" ;"
He added:
1.-The s. filing of a criminal in
formation against the Dairymen' Is
League Cooperative Association
Inc, for its recent action = Z. does
not alter my firm conviction that
the Leagues course was entirely
legal and for the best interests OF
milk consumers as well as pro-
ducers. "'*
"In short. the League acted in
good faith for what I believe to be
important and proper reason and
entirely within its legal rights
Sought to Prevent Loss.
After the price break, the league
said it had supported butter prices
prior to the drop by purchases at
levels that would keep the New York
price to producers for milk in Janu-
ary at $5.46 per hundred pounds as
at present.
United States Attorney John F
x. McGohey, who announced filing
of the information In Federal court,
said Mr.. Rathbun said during an
investigation of the price drop con-
Quoted by the United States At
torney's office and the Department
of Agriculture, that he had under
taken Ito support the butter market
at not less than "a cents per pound"
so as to prevent a loss in the price
of milk produced by members OF
the League in January.
In the New York milk shed, milk
prices paid to producers are hinged
to butter prices and are set by the
Federal State milk marketing ad-
ministrator under a formula which
takes into account the price Of top
grade butter and skimmed-milk
powder for a 30-day period. This
months period expired December
"a, and the January price was set
at $546, unchanged since November.
Mr.. McGohey said Mr.. Rathbun
told him the League supported the

One of the most popular of the
field programs at the Jaskson
Square USO is the Sunday pro-
gram, Marine Life Adventure. /"
Each Sunday group leaves
the club at l2:4S o'clock and
heads for spots along the old
abandoned Overseas Highway.
Armed with spears, diving
masks. harpoons, the, service
boys wade out SO to 100 yards
off shore and dive for the large,
pink-lipped conch.
Found only in tropical waters,
the conch is probably the best
known in the shell family. 1t is
rough. horny and often cover
ed with a bright green marine
growth, which helps hide it from
the divers eyes. The adventur-
ing service boys are instructed
what to look for and precautions
TO take when diving in the tropi-
cal waters off the shore line.
Many beautiful species of ma
rine plants and animals have
been brought to shore, including

In addition to the home town
celebration, the circus has been
scheduled to do a modest bit of
touring over the Southwest, spon-

to provide funds for their phil

One requirement of the Gaines
vile circus is that a member be
a bona-fide resident of the town
of 10000 population, without any
previous circus experience. The
other is that performer receive
no financial remuneration for his
services.

shells and various marine
growths, the service boys have
a chance to see the sting rays,
barracudas, sharks, and other
fish in action.
On several occasions, the fell
lows have harpooned sting rays
and sharks, some of them weigh

The Deep South

ENEMIES OF GOD

Communism is the destruction of

way we treat the negro" the vet

question the existence of God be-
cause of the very things alluded
to by the Mississippi white man.
A great furore is beoing made
about the spread of communism
across a confused world. Too lit

menace to democracy = the per-

forcibly to our attention by the

critics of that report are to my
mind the greatest underminers OF

of atheism and enemies of their
fellow men, their country and their
