SwEDEN'S STAR FACTORY

A degree from this Stockholm drama school

nNE of the surest ways of becoming a
~ Hollywood star is to enroll in the Royal
Dramatic Training Academy in Stockholm
That is how Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman,
Signe Hasso, Marta loren, Viveca Lindfors
and several others got their start
The school, which receives a state subsidy,
is not altogether happy about this situation.
The idea, after all, is to supply talent for
the Swedish stage. To this end, the students
are given free courses in such essentials as
talking, walking. dancing, screaming run
ming, fencing, whispering, standing still
CONDITIONS of study at the school are harsh
The students must pay for their own keep,
but are not allowed to take jobs that might
interfere with their studies
Entrance exams are so strict that one year,
out of l28 candidates, only II were accepted.
The stringent rules are designed to deter
all but the fanatically devoted students of
drama. Ole Hiding, principal of the school,
admires but does not coddle his charges
Hollywood's traditional emphasis on mere
beauty cuts no ice with Hiding. "You look
like an angel but you act like dummy"
he told one budding Carlo. - LOUIS BERG

Milk Price Rise
By Producers
To Be Weighed
Fraction of q Cent
Boost Would Mean
Increase Here

The Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association will
meet this week to consider raise
in the price of milk to local dis
tributors which will mean at least
a Traction of a cent" increase
in the cost of a quart to the
housewife here.
A spokesman for the association
said the meeting had not been
set as yet but it would be this
week.
The milk producers want to in
crease by so cents the cost OF
100 pounds of milk to the dis
tributors, the spokesman said.
This would restore the producers
milk prices to the level OF last
April.
On April l the milk producers
reduced their price by so cents
per 100 pounds of milk volun-
tarily because of prime pastures
and ideal growing conditions.
Retail Price Raised July /.
Following that voluntary cut
in April, retail prices to the
housewife dropped from 81 cents
a quart to 20 cents in most
stores. On July l, the Virginia
Milk Commission authorized
plants serving the Arlington-AleX-
andria area to increase the re-
tail price by a half cent, raising
home delivery prices to 2012 cents.
Although there are no milk
regulatory bodies in the District
or Maryland, the price of milk IN
the Washington area is controlled
by the Virginia Milk Commission
since Virginia is the source OF a
large part of the city's milk sup
ply. The increase of half cent
was put into effect in the District
on July l.
The spokesman for the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association said the exact addl-
tional cost of quart of milk to
the Washington housewife was
something for the individual dis
tributors here to decide if the
so cents per 100 pounds OF milk
increase is put into effect.
Any increase in the producers
price in milk always is reflected
in the retail price. he explained.
adding that it probably would be
only a fraction of a cent"
Producer Deliveries Drop.
The producers association, rep
resenting more than $500 dairy
farmers. said the increase in the
price of milk to the distributors
was necessary because 1T now
appears it will be economically
impossible to much longer adhere
to the current price to the dis
tributor''
The spokesman said that pro-
ducers' costs have decreased only
in one major item. feeds. This
decrease rapidly is reversing itself
due to recent drought conditions
in the grain producing areas.
Wages paid labor have not de-
clined and many members of the
association report that higher
wages are being paid than at this
time in 1948.
Lack of sufficient rain since the
latter part of May has created
unusual concern for the dairy
farmer who now is going into a
period of lowest production. the
spokesman said. Producer deliv-
cries have dropped % per cent

The District Commissioners to-
day again tried to find street
to name for the State of Ohio but
again met objections from resi-
dents who don't like their street
names changed.
The street under consideration
today at a public hearing in the
District Building was the western
end of M street and Canal road
NV. Can extension of M street,
from thirty-fift street to the Dis
trict line. Ohio is the only State
in the Union not represented here
by a thoroughfare.
Representative jenkins, Repub-
lican, of Ohio. appeared to ask
that Ohio be honored by having
a street or an avenue named for it.
Opposition to changing Cana
road came from a number of resi-
dents of the area and from STAN
ton Kolb, representing the George
town Citizens Association, and
Harold q. Hinton, representing
the Progressive Citizens Associa-
ton of Georgetown.
Mr.. Kolb appealed to the Com
missioners not to change the name
of Canal road because of its his
torical significance. He pointed
out that George Washington
built and named the canal "Ches-
apeak and Ohio" and the road
itself and that the Commissioners
shouldn't override the wishes OF
the father of sur country"
Mr.. Kolb said he felt the
people of Ohio would agree that
some other street would be more
suitable for remaining.

A, The tax is on the actual

Policy on Returns.
@. Suppose a customer returns

A. Yes, provided he returns it
within 80 days.
@. What if. for example. he
buys a new radio. trading in an
old one? What figure is the tax
based on then?
A. The tax is based on the sale
price of the radio. figured in dol
lars and cents. no matter how
that price is met. In this case
it would be based on what he
was allowed for his old radio,
plus what he paid in cash. 1t

to oil as well as gasoline?
A. No. The exemption is only
for combustible fuels which al
ready are subject to the road tax.
@. What about foreign diplo-
mats? Do they have to pay the
sales tax?
A. They do not, provided they
can show the merchant the State
Department card establishing
their identity. ....
@. Can q merchant absorb this
tax himself If he wants to? II
his volume of sales is big enough,
couldn't he undercut his COMPETE
tors by doing so?
A. The law specifically prohibits
him from doing this. 1t requires
that he state the sales price and
the tax separately at all times.
It subjects him to a possible $500
fine or six months imprisonment
or both in case, in his advertis-
