Dairy
Fights Ruling on
Outside Milk
Owner Wants D.. C.
To Retain Policy
On Standby Bosis

James j. Ward, owner of the
Embassy Dairy. last night said he
would oppose the dropping of a
District policy permitting the
processing of outside" milk for
sale to Government installations
and areas outside the city.
Thus, another milk controversy
was curdling.
AS so many times in the past,
the independent Embassy found
itself at odds with the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers As
sociation, who assert no local
dairies are buying outside" milk
now and that there is a sufficient
supply from farms inspected by
the District.
Wants Policy Retained.
Mr.. Ward said he wanted the
policy retained on standby basis
in case shortage should develop
as it did during the war. He
said he was bidding on many Gov
ernment contracts for deliveries
after January within a 400-mile
radius Of Washington. He added
that association prices also might
be too high.
The Embassy now is supplying
about 5000 gallons of milk daily
to the Marine Corps base at New
River. N. c., and also is selling to
the Marine air base at Cherry
Point, N. C.

ing to the Commissioners that the
policy on outside milk be
dropped. Yesterday, however, he
said he wanted to make certain
there were no snags before he
did so
Supplies Held Adequate.
An association spokesman said
that supplies would be adequate to
take care of any demands after
January !.
For the first time in five years,
Embassy last Sunday began buy
ing milk from its long time bitter
foe. 1t now is taking 1000 GAL
Ions a day from the producers.

by State and local officials.

through the Northern Virginia
Park Authority, which is being
formed under provisions of legis-
lature which Mr.. Magruder helped
sponsor.

sites are selected. Locations of
sites under consideration were

ZURICH, Switzerland, Nov. %
Tin has gone wild during the
past three weeks. And if you want
to know about inf1ations, here's a
good example of how they start to
happen.
Down in the Malayan jungles
last summer, tin was a burdensome
surplus. At $1,000 a ton, it had
gone begging" War In Korea
gave it a shot in the arm.
Then, on October 26, the day
after Super-secret United Ma
tions world tin conference began
in Geneva. tin shares began blow
ing the roofs off the stock ex-
changes from Singapore to New
York. The conference closed Tues
day after a futile four week effort
to write an international agree
ment.
In the short interval since the
conference opened, tin has jumped
almost a $1,000 to over $4,000 a
ton. There has been a slight
break in the last few days, but
brokers think that .by Christmas
tin will still be way out of sight
Genuine Demand Reported.
The Donation tin meeting in
Geneva has been absolutely ''leak-
proof" however. officials insist.
NeWsmen at the Palais des Ma
tions so strongly agree with these
officials that this correspondent
has come to Zurich to round out q
story.
Here's the catch that has hac
spectators sweating: Is this tir
explosion backed up by genuine
world demand or is it wild
gamble?
Swiss experts here say that
it is a genuine world demand, but
the blame for the stock market
binge can be placed mostly or
the United States.
Your country has reverted ir
this case to the very type o1
ruthless capitalism that for the
past four years it has been urg-
ing Marshall Plan countries te

PINTO MOOSE SEEN NEAR HAVING

Fred Henton, in from the lodge this weekend, reported seeing a spotted moose ahead of him on the road south of Law ing. This is the first pinto moose, a COW, ever heard of on Kenai Peninsula, although many pie lures were taken of an albino moose around Russian Lake a few years ago.

RAINBOW DERBY STARTS JUNE 5

The Rainbow Derby opens at Henton's Kenai Lodge on June 5, and will be open to all fisher men until the closing of the sea- son Sept. 1. Fred Henton always gives the winner moose-hide jacket, and there are two cash prizes for the longest trout caught during the derby. Sixty per cent of the entry fees of S2.5O each, goes as first prize; 40 per cent as second prize.
 Many fabulous stories of the fish that got away fly around the Territory during the Rain bow Derby at Henton's, but the real proof of the great size of the game fish caught out there is to be seen each year in the fish itself that did not get away. The Derby is known among sportsmen everywhere, and the coming season is expected to be a good one.

USS Mahopae Bade Farewell With 'AuId Lang Syne

AA4( oS0 AsAoAiOPSAS AoNAS AAA we'll to Seward at 100 pm. Monday with "Auld Lang Syne" played by the Admirals Band on the deck as she pulled her lines. This compact little ship of $50 tons, an auxiliary power tug, with an overall length of 143 feet, 35 foot beam, draught of 1412 feet, with 1900 h.p. engines, was the center of in- terest to all Seward during its three and half day visit.
 After a continuous stream of visitors during the Saturday and Sunday Open House hours, the watch was practically worn out, what with helping the ladies up and down the ladders and over the high combings, and the nervous strain of riding herd on some $50 children to keep them from experimenting with the machinery or falling over board-not to mention the dogs of all sizes and description that were equally curious.
 The open handed hospitality of the officers, It. Howard w. Jones, USN, Commanding Off, cer; Victor P. Berti, USN, Exec utive Officer; H. H. Green, USN, Chief Engineer; and the patient, cheerful, friendly crewmen will be remembered here for a long time.
 A number of persons were entertained in the wardroom, and on Sunday afternoon over 100 chickens were fried in the tiny galley by overWorked cook and mess boys for guests of the boys in blue.
 The band was deeply appre- ciated. For the first time in many years, parade in Seward was led by band, which was a thrill indeed for this city. In addition, parts of the band could be found in several points about town on Friday night making their contribution to the car nival spirit everywhere. The big success of the dance in the Civic Center on Saturday night was due largely to the music furnished by the Navy Band, and their concert in the Meth odist Church on Sunday night was a real treat.
 Open house was held for all men in uniform at the Legion Club and the Elks Club. They found entertainment everywhere in town, and seemed to take particular delight in the Mara thon Derbies, cleaning out the present supply.
 Seward thoroughly enjoyed the visit of the USS Mahopac, and coming as it did when spir- it's were low, it contributed nightly to the morale of the townspeople. Commenda- tions are heard on all sides on the fine conduct of the boys, and everybody hopes that the ship will be allowed to return on the Fourth of July.

The tug boats are of purple wax on wax sea and very realistic A paper model of the Denali is on the buffet.

Mrs. Melba Torvanger and Mrs. Fern Burke officiated the next period, and Mrs. Johanna Hor- ton and Mrs. Chris Jensen serv- ed during the early evening.
 About 50 guests were present throughout the afternoon. ladies whose husbands are ARR men, members of WSCS, Nurses and Ladies Aid, friends land neigh bors all came to honor the Baumbergers, who have been known and loved for so many years in Seward. A gift of jew elry was presented by the group.
