Virginia High Court Calls
Judicial Ethics Adequate
By the Assoeio,ed Pres.

RICHMOND. Va. May 5.-The
Virginia Supreme Court of APP
peals has declined to amend the
rules OF judicial ethics so as to
prohibit a Judge acting in a case
in which a near relative is en-
gagged as counsel.
Such a change was advocated
by the Norfolk and Portsmouth
Bar Association in q resolution
adopted at q meeting last Feb
ruary.
The suggested amendment was
designed to make it 'judicially
unethical"" for a judge to act in
any case where a party "or coun-
sci" is his father, mother, son,
daughter, brother or sister.
After considering oral and writ
ten arguments, Chief Justice Ed
ward w. Hudgins said the court
found:
'"The present rule is adequate
to put upon the conscience and
good judgment of the individual
judge the duty to avoid the ap-
pearance of improper influence
from whatever source"

Area LocuI Elections

Favorable Senate action is ex-
pected today to send to the White
House the bill permitting Federal

Virginia to participate ais Demo-
Gratis or Republicans in local elec-
tiofls.
The House yesterday approved

This lesser penalty can only be
imposed If the commission unani-

The original bill passed by the

penalty provision. But the Senate
amended it to provide for the full
scale participation in local politics
by Government workers.
After more than a month of
meetings, House-Senate conferees

Hooper 10 Take Stand
Today for Third Time
In Milk Price Trial

An officer Of the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Associ-
alton was to take the stand today
for the third time in the trial OF
the association and seven dairies
on charges of conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade.
Although called as the first
prosecution witness, William B
Hooper. office manager of the
association. has insisted the pro.
ducers have neither sought to re.
strict output nor to help tht
distributors Ak retail prices.
The trial. before Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff In District Court
is expected to last for several
weeks. Since Mr.. Hooper took the
stand Monday, he has been identi-
flying records of the association
for the Government and answer
ing the questions Of Defense
Counsel William Leahy on cross
examination.
Diaries On Trial
Diaries on trial with the as
sociation Of producers handle
about IS per cent of the milk sold
in the Washington area. it was
testified. They are Chestnut
Farms-Chevy Chase. Thompson's,
Richfeld. Wakefield. Harvey,
Alexandria. and the Lucer1e
Milk Co. of the Safevay stores.
Judge Holtzof remarked that
farmers have always been a
privileged class" and that 1t was
his understanding they are ex-
empt from the Sherman Anti
trust Act. He pointed out they
often organize to get higher prices
for their products.
Chief Prosecutor Robert H.
Winn agreed with the court but
pointed out that farmers or pro-
oucers have no right to organize
the distributors and others in an
eHort to control retail prices.
Denies Price Agreement.
Did your association agree or
combine with the distributors to
nx or control the retail price to
consumers?" Mr.. Leahy asked the
association official.
NO" Mr.. Hooper replied.
Did you discuss the resale price
with the distributors"
Mr.. Hooper answered again in
the negative.
rs it not your policy to get the
best price possible for the pro-
ducers from the distributors?" Mr..
Leahy asked.
Yes" was the reply.
Then your relationship was
only that Of the seller to the
buyer?"
Yes" Mr.. Hooper said.
Did your association try to re-
strict production contrary to the
public INTEREST,"" Mr.. Hooper re-
piled in the negative.
Standards Add to Cost.
Mr.. Leahy brought out. under
cross-examination, that high
standards of the District Health
Department add to the cost of
milk sold here.
Provisions include insistence on
a low bacteria count, maintenance
OF sanitary farm conditions and
quick delivery In iced containers
TO distributors here.
Mr.. Winn told the court the
classified" prices the producers
charge the distributors for Nos. /. .
2 and 3 types of milk simplify the
process Of fixing retail prices.
Mr.. Hooper denied this. He said
the new classified" prices, as
compared with the old fiat price,
require the distributors to pay ac-
cording to the use to which the
milk Is put.
The class /. or highest price, he
said, is charged for milk used for
fluid consumption. Class 2 Is milk
used for production Of cream and
cottage cheese. and class 3 milk
Is converted into manufactured
products
