Hit at Hearing
Restaurant Witness
Soys. Proposal Would
Strengthen Monopoly

The District Commissioners
were informed today that their
proposal for banning the importa-
ton of emergency milk into
Washington would tend to
strengthen a local monopoly" over
the milk market here.
The statement was made by
Loston Wesley. chairman of the
Legislative Committee of the
Washington Restaurant Associa-
tion as the Commissioners opened
hearing on whether to halt ship
ments of milk from outside the
Washington milkshed.
Milk importation without re-
gard to District Health Depart
ment inspection of dairy farms
has been in effect here since early
In the war, when a wartime milk
shortage developed.
Monopoly Opposed.
THE Washington Restaurant
Association Is against any act
which would tend to create or
strengthen any monopoly over the
local milk market" Mr.. Wesley
testified.
I'VE want to keep the quality
of our milk high. But we also
believe that imposition of the ban
against United States Public
Health Service Cinspected milk
will place the producers of Dis
trict code milk in -competi-
tive position, and that such a stu
alton would not promote either
the physical or economic health
of our community" the witness
continued.
He urged the Commissioners to
continue their present order per-
milk importation for an
other year. and meanwhile to call
a conference of Health Depart
ment officials of nearby States to
work out a uniform milk code.
Representative Smith Present.
Among those attending the
hearings held in Commissioner
John Russell Young's Office were
Representative Smith of Virginia
who told reporters he was repre-
senting his constituents, and
Robert H. Winn, special assistant
to the Attorney General who re-
Gently won a District Court con-
viction of four defendants in a
District milk-price trial.
Attorneys for two dairies-Em-
bassy and Wakefield-testifed
that halting of milk importations
would force them to deal with the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association. The associa-
ton. its secretary treasurer, B. B.
Derrick, and the Richfield and Lu-
cerne Diaries were found guilty by
Judge Alexander Holtzoff of con-
spring to fix milk prices here.
John H. Hillyard, Wakefield at
torney. reminded the Commits
sioners that his dairy had been
indicted in the milk case but had
been acquitted by the court. A
ban on milk importation, he went
on, will force us to deal with the
association again and possibly lead
US to another indictment"
Competition Urged.
Robert E. Lynch. representing
Embassy Dairy, declared that I'VE
will be driven back to dealing
with the association" and added:
Why can't there be some free
enterprise and competition in the
milk business here?"
He noted that Embassy Dairy
had not dealt with the associa-
ton for many years and was not
among the indicted distributors
here. Mr.. Lynch also called for
IAN exhaustive study of antiquated
legislation" controlling milk pro-
duction here.

THE Perfect SECRETARY
by Grace TulIy
AvrHoR OF "F.D.R., NV Boss"

DEAR MISS FULLY: What advice could you give
to young careerists ON how to be good secretary?
ANSWER: I've been secretary for over 30 years, a
good many of them as personal secretary to Franklin
D. Roosevelt worked with him from before his first
gubernatoral campaign until his DEATH I've learned
some fundamentals Of secretaria conduct which might
be helpful to those facing careers in the field.
Here are few Of the most important ones:
Be completely loyal to your boss
Never discuss Office business with outsiders.
Use tact in dealing with outsiders who bring their
problems to your Office. Their problems important
to them even if they may not seem so to you You will
do dis-service to your boss if you antagonze those
who feel they have legitimate business with him.
Don't commit your boss to any line of action or
even to any appointments unless you are specifically
given this authority are sure of your ground.
Be attentive and informed on the business of the Office
KEEP your boss up to date on what you have done
and learned which may bear upon his responsibilities
Remind your boss of appointments. of anniversaries
and other special occasions. If you are secretary to
yery busy executive you should even know the size
of his shirts Shoes Gloves etc. and be able to advise
those who want to do his shopping Try to relieve him
of the time consuming demands of daily living.
BE neat Dress well but not out of taste for Office
purposes
Live by clock in the sense of being on time for work
and appointments but don't live by the same clock
when it comes to an occasional overtime stint.
Commend your boss for good letter or other action
demonstrating his judgment and capacity.
