Plea Of Big Districts
For Extra Strength
By Alex R. Preston
Stor Stoff Correspondent

ROANOKE, Va, April 10.-North.
ern Virginians will spearhead ar
attempt to bring before today's Re.
publican State Convention a plar
under which the heaviest voting
congressional districts would affair
the largest representation on the
COP State Central Committee.
AS the convention got under way
this issue appeared to be the most
controversial question to face the
delegates because it was turned
down last night by the State Cen.
trail Committee.
Eighth district Republicans, led by
Arlington and Fairfax, will try tt
force the issue on the floor thi;
afternoon, however.
Senator Knowland Speaks.
Senator Knowland, Republican, oi
California told the convention today
a Republican victory In November
would not weaken but should
strengthen the system of collective
security under the United Nations.
II firmly believe this" he said
..'for two reasons: First, because 9
sound national economy and sol
vent Federal Government is a pre-
requisite to a strong America ano
only under those conditions can we
help to rehabilitate the war-torr
free world. Secondly, a Republican
victory will mean a more consistent
foreign policy"
The California Senator, guest
speaker at the convention, urged his
audience to make it crystal clear
that the Politburo in Moscow car
gain no satisfaction" from a Re-
publican victory.
Seek Taft Support.
Before delegates assembled, two
campaign workers for Senator Taft
Republican, of Ohio were here tt
seek an instructed Virginia delega.
ton to the national presidential
convention in Philadelphia. 1t il
regarded as a certainty, however
that party members will adhere tt
previous policy and send an unin.
structed delegation.
Edgar w. Pumphrey. chairman oi
the Arlington Republican Commit.
tee, said he would attempt to amend
the State party plan so that heavy.
voting congressional districts woulc
be entitled to more representation
in the Central Committee. He lee
efforts last night to obtain tha
committees approval and, after thu
plan was rebuffed, 16 to 2, an un.
official caucus of delegates from thai
area mapped plans to get the ISSUE
before the convention,
| Earlier, Mrs. Robert w. Macauley
of Washington told a meeting o.
the Virginia Council of Republican
Women that there is no definit.
line of policy or thinking in tn,

Milk Price Cut
0fCent Urged al
Virginia Hearing
Chestnut Forms Dairy
OfficioI Says Seasonal
Reduction Now Due

A one-cent per quart reduction In
the price of milk was advocated
yesterday by M. v. Dawson, OF
Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase Dairy
who appeared at a Virginia Milk
Commission hearing in Alexandria
The Commission met to hear q
request of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association for
elimination of 37-cent per hun
dredweight premium on Glass 2
milk, which distributors said would
result in retail reduction of from
3 to 6 cents per quart for cream
and comparable reduction for cot
tage cheese.
Mr.. Davison's recommendation
was not an issue before the commits
sion yesterday. He declared, how
ever, that his dairy wanted to be
on record as favoring the one-cent
reduction for Glass l milk which is
the milk sold by retailers for liquid
consumption.
Holds Seasonal Cut Due.
He said he felt a seasonal reduc-
tion was due at this time.
The request of the producers group
involved only Glass milk, which is
used for cream and cottage cheese.
James E. Click, of the producers
association. said the proposal sub
mitted by his group would put the
price of Glass milk on a competi-
tive basis with comparable milk or
cream products shipped into the
area markets. He asked that the re-
duction be effective for the month
Of May, June and July.
Mr.. Dawson and M. H. Burchell,
Of the Alexandria Dairy, said they
felt the reduction should be put
into effect as of next Thursday and
continue indefinitely. Mr.. Dawson
pointed out that with an indefinite
limitation on the price reduction,
the producers would be able to
come back before the commission
when it became necessary to ask
for renewal of the present prices.
Consumer Asks Question.
T. Oscar Smith, of the Columbia
Pike Citizens Association, Arlington
who said he appears as an interested
consumer, asked if it were possible
to reduce prices of Glass milk why
was it not also possible to reduce
prices of Glass l milk as advocated
by Mr.. Dawson.
DR.. Upton r. Snavely, chairman
of the milk commission, said
petition of reduction of Glass 2
milk prices was the only issue before
the commission yesterday. He told
Mr.. Smith, however, that consumers
have the right to petition the COM
mission for a hearing on lower
prices.
The producers request was taken
under advisement by the commits
sion and distributors we're given
until Wednesday to file briefs. DR..
Snavely said a decision would be
reached as soon as possible.
