GIRLS ATTEND UNIVERSITY
Miss Amy Rextrew, Dean of Wo'
men, Gives Some Figures

An indication of real interest
in the benefits that college holds
for today's women" is found by
Miss Amy Rextrew, dean of women
at the University of Delaware, in
the fact that 85 per cent of last
years freshmen girls at the univer-
sity are continuing their studies
there this fall.
OF those who did not return, five
per cent transferred to other col
1eges, another five per cent were
dropped from the rolls at the end
of their first year for poor scholar
ship. Three left because of illness
"a small fraction of the total), only
two dropped out because of mar
riage, and one girl is out of college
this year while working to earn
money in order to continue her ed
ucation later.
These figures are a very good
indication of the calibre of girls
coming to the university, COM
mented Miss Rextrew.

RECORD MILK
PRODUCTION
New High For September Set
By Farmers in This
Area
LEVEL PRODUCTION

Milk production during Septem-
ber by farmers supplying the Phil
adelphia Milk Marketing Area set
a new record for that month, but
of main interest is that this record
production may indicate a trend
toward a goal of more level season.
al production that has been the aim
of the milk industry in this area
for several years. According to re-
ports of handlers under Order No.
81, regulating the handling of milk
in the area, production by farmers
supplying the handlers in the area
increased during September 81 per
cent over the same month a year
ago. This is in contrast to an in
crease for the state of Pennsylvan-
ia of 7.37 per cent and for the
United States as a whole of 2.96
per cent.
For several years the milk indus
try in the area has been working
toward goal of more level produc-
tion to eliminate the extremely
high peaks of production during
the spring months and the valleys
during the fall and winter months.
This, it has been attempted to ac-
complish by working with the
farmer to change his breeding pro-
gram so as to have more milk in
the fall and less in the spring and
supplementing this with incentive
payments to justify the carrying
out of such a program fixing the
producer price of milk for the fall
months higher than the annual lev
el and for the spring months lower.
While the total production fig
ures themselves cannot be taken as
guide, the average daily deliver
les per producer gives some indica-
tion of what may be this trend. A
comparison of these figures for
September, the beginning of the
fall months, with May, the peak
month of the flush period each
year for the past three years, indi-
Gates there may be some progress
toward closing the wide gap be-
tween spring and fall production.
Average daily deliveries during
September this year were 85 per
cent of the May production. This is
about 5 per cent better than the
two preceding years. In September,
1948, these producer deliveries
were only 80.4 per cent of May,
I948 and in 1947 they were 70 per
cent. While no conclusion may be
made in this connection until fall
production figures are available, if
even then, yet the September-May
ratio comparisons may indicate a
trend.
During September 3,016,062 lbs.
were delivered by producers daily,
4:22 per cent under the 3,148, ,976
lbs. daily for August and $40 per
cent above the 2,754, TIA lbs. daily
for September one year ago. For
August the average daily producer
deliveries were 326 pounds, a new
record for that month and an in
crease over the 302 pounds for Sep
tember one year ago, but a season.
al decrease from the 342 pounds
for the previous month, August.
The weighted average of the uni
form prices to be paid producers
during September under the order
is ,$4.995. This is computed on the
basis of $3.50 for Glass I fluid
milky and $3.406 for Glass II (milk

Third GAMBLING
Case e|sDropped
By yGovernnent
Snogs Lewis Retriol
Postponed by Court
Until February z

The gambling case against
Louis Lieberman, another of the
36 persons indicted by the spe-
cial grand jury which investi-
gated gambling last spring. was
dismissed by Government re-
quest in District Court today.
At the same time. the retria1
of William (Snags) Lewis and 13
co defendants was postponed
from January 9 to February 2 by
Judge Alexander HoltZoff.
The Lieberman case, charging
the setting up of a gaming table,
was scheduled for trial today.
However. when the case was
called, Assistant United States At
torney John c. Conliff moved for
dismissal.
Lone Witness Reluctant"
Mr.. Conliff said the indictment
was based on the evidence of a
single witness, Post Office en-
ploye. Since the indictment. Mr..
Conliff said, the witness had be-
come reluctant" and appeared to
show signs of poor memory. Later.
Assistant United States Attorney
Richard Roberts identified the
witness as James H. Jones, 1419

Judge Holtzof asked the prose-
cutor if the memory of the wit
ness is as good today as it was
when he testified before the spe-
cial grand jury. Mr.. Conliff re-
piled that it is, but asked that
the case be dismissed.
The Lieberman case is the third
of the indictments to be dismissed
so far. In one of the other cases,
the Government requested dis
missal because of insufficient evi-
dence and in another, the case
was dropped against a defendant
who already had pleaded guilty
in Alexandria to charges based on
the same evidence.
Indictment Returned in April.

man returned last April charged

April 8, 1916, to about the date

Coffee probers Told
Publicity Helped Send

Rush to Buy Followed;
Sofewoy Stores OfficioI
Quizzed on Morkups
By J. A. OIeov

Newspaper publicity about rising
coffee prices and a resulting rush
by consumers to lay in supplies
helped to contribute to recent
price increases, a Senate investi-
eating subcommittee was told to-
day.
John c. Gardner. president of
the New York Coffee and Sugar
Exchange, Inc, testified that when
"inflammatory" reports about a
commodity appear, the housewife
and other users want to carry
larger stocks and this further dis
rupts the market and creates sud
den and unwarranted price rises.
Another witness. George Nc
Laughlin, a retired Government
employe, testified that he paid
81 cents in a Safeway store here
on the morning of December l
for a jar of powdered coffee that
previously had been selling in
November for 40 cents.
Tells of Price Rise.

maker for the Washington Divi-
sion of Safeway Stores, told the
subcommittee the manufacturers
price to the Safeway went up on
November II from SO cents and
a fraction per jar to 421a cents
per jar. He said that in this case
Safeway delayed three weeks be-
fore raising the retail price.

committee pointed out that the
manufacturers increase was 61a
cents, whereas the retail markup
on December l was 8 cents. Mr..
