Trade Restraint Trial
OF Milk Group Opens;
High Prices Alleged

] 1Tldl Ol TIE MdFy yIdIlO- Wiz lIlld
Milk Producers Association and
eight local dairy companies on
charges of conspiracy to restrain
trade got underway in District
Court today.
Chief Prosecutor Robert H.
Winn told Judge Alexander Holt
zoff that the Government would
prove that the producers associa-
ton, representing dairy farmers
in Maryland and Virginian and
controlling 80 per cent of Wash
ington's milk supply. had signed
contracts with the defendant
dairies which resulted in unduly
high milk prices for local con-
! sumers
/ Judge Holtzoff abruptly broke
into Mr.. Winn's opening argu-
ment when the prosecutor said
the Government would show there
was collusion between the defend
ants and the District Health De-
partment to restrict Washington S
milk supply.
Not Illegal, Judge Says.
II am not ruling now, Mr..
Winn," said Judge Holtzoff, but
do not think l will allow you
to introduce such evidence. After
all. citizens have a right to ask
public officials TO interpret their
regulations and that is not Illegal"
! Mr.. Winn said the Government
intended to show that during the
war when the Washington milk
supply became scarce the de-
PENDANTS asked and obtained per-
mission from the Health Depart
ment to import milk from outside
the Washington milkshed.
"Wall frightened"
When the local milk supply be-
came abundant, Mr.. Winn said,
the geographical wall" Of the
Washington milkshed was tight
ened so that no producer living
outside the membership area OF
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducerS' Association could send
milk to Washington consumers.
The Government will show, said
Mr.. Winn, that all milk coming in
through local dairies is of the
same quality but is classified into
three prices under a contract be-
tween dairies and the producers
association. The highest price is
paid for milk that goes into bot
ties, he said. A lower price is
paid by the dairies for milk which
they skim and sell as cream. The
lowest price is paid for milk which
goes into ice cream, cheese and
other manufactured products.
Co-DeIendants Listed.
On trial with the association are
the following dairies: Chestnut
Farms, ThompSon's, Richfield,
Wakefield, Lucerne (milk outlet
for the Safeway Stores. Simpson
Brothers, Inc, Harvey Dairy and
the Alexandria Dairy.
The defendants were indicted
more than two years ago. When
first brought to trial, Judge Rich
mond Keech dismissed the case.
The Government won a reversal
of Judge Keech's ruling in the
United States Court of Appeals.
The courtroom today was filled
with counsel for the defendants
and attorneys who came to watch
the battle Of legal wits. Among
the spectators was District At
torney George Morris Fay.

On Foreign Policy
Briefings for G. 0. P.
BY The Associotsd Press

An informal agreement ap-
peared near today for the State
Department to keep Republicans
abreast of international affairs
through COP members of the
Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio, who heads his party Policy
Committee, told a reporter he
thinks such an arrangement prob
ably will develop out of a new
administration move to strengthen
the bipartisan foreign policy.
AS a part of this plan Senator
Millikin of Colorado, who heads
the conference of all Republican
Senators, was invited to talk
things over today with Secretary
of State Acheson.
Mr.. Acheson talked yesterday
to Senator Wherry of Nebraska.
the Republican floor leader. He
saw Senator Taft Monday and
talked last week to Senator Wiley,
Republican. of Wisconsin.
Senator Wherry said any COM
ment on his meeting with the
Cabinet member must come from
Secretary Acheson. Senator Wher-
ry has been highly critical of many
of the administrations moves in
the foreign field.
Senator Taft. who sometimes
goes along with the administra.
tion on foreign matrers ard some
times doesn't said he and Mr..
Acheson agreed Informally that
the way for the State Department
to keep Republicans currently in
formed was through the party's
members on the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Senator Wiley is one of these.
along with Senators Vandenberg
of Michigan, Hickenlooper of Iowa,
Lodge of Massachusetts, and Smith
of New Jersey.
Senator Taft said he and Mr.
Acheson discussed no specific poll
cies at their brief meeting. He
said the Secretary promised him,
and all other Republicans, full CO.
operation from the department in
getting information they want.

resents both grants and loans.
The council also set a public

the rider, and many of them say
they will vote against it. The big
gest objection is that it has no
place in an appropriations bill and
should be the subject Of close study
by the House Civil Service Com
mittee.
Whether this last-minute surge
of sentiment will save the day re-
mains to be seen. The vote will
be rather close, but veteran Capt.
tol Hill observers say there is a
good chance" the amendment
will be beaten. incidentally, Fed
eral employe groups have been
doing a very effective job in lob
bying against the rider.
CASTE SYSTEM-There al
ways have been a lot of Gov
ernment employees who resent
what they feel to be a caste
system in the Federal service
the practice Of judging an
employe socially and otherwise
by his grade of pay. Thus,
under such a system, a GS-6
employe is more socially ac-
ceptable than a GS-5 worker.
This caste system charge is
more or less heightened by a
habit used by one of the Gov
ernment's professional person.
mel societies. In its monthly
news publication, it runs a little
gossip column that goes some
thing like this:
MARY Jones (GS-6) is en-
gagged to John Smith (GS-0.
=. It's a new baby boy at the
home of Buster Brown (GS-4.
Edgar Allan Hoe (GS-1O)
is building a new home in
Bethesda. Ina Drudge
(GS-2) is transferring to a new
Federal job in Chicago"
And occasionally the column
will have its juiciest gossip
item-when someone marries a
person beneath" them, such
as: Lotta Fun (GS-10) is mar
rying Hiram Droop (GS-A."

HATCH ACT - House Senate

to be decided is whether the con-

adopted amendment calling for
