ment before, but twice has failed
to give proof when asked for it
Embassy will make clear its

have been scrutinized carefully"
Mr.. Yer Standig said.

Any Dairy Here
TriuI Witness Says
Import Bon Would
Not Exclude Firms

A spokesman for the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers As
sociation said today the group is
ready to sell milk to any local
distributors not now buying from
the association.
The official made the state
ment amid reports that some
dairies may not be able to get
milk in the event the District
Commissioners ban on importa-
ton of milk outside this market
goes into effect July /.
I A hearing on the ban will be
held by the Commissioners Thurs
day.
-Four Washington area dairies
do not now get any of their milk
from the association. This was
brought out yesterday in the third
day Of the District Court trial of
the association and seven area
dairies, charged with conspiracy
to fix milk prices in restraint of
trade.
Prices Vary.
William B. Hooper, Office man
ager of the association, also teSti-
fed its prices to distributors vary,
depending on whether they are
located in the District or Mary
land. He said this results from
varying production costs stem
ming from District Health De-
partment regulations.
Under questioning of Defense
Attorneys William E. Leahy and
Roger Whiteford, Mr.. Hooper cate
gorically denied that ID the asso-
citation had ever made any agree
ments with dairies to set milk
prices; (2) had ever discrimi-
mated against dairies not buying
from the association. and (3) had
ever cut the producer price in
order to control the consumer
price.
Mr.. Leahy developed the fact
from Mr.. Hooper that the associa-
ton audits the distributors books
to determine what to bill the
dairies.
Doesn't Trust Accounting.
Later Mr.. Whiteford, who repre-
sentS Chestnut Farms Dairy, the
associations largest customer,
asked Mr.. Hooper:
You do not trust the account
ing of any of the distributors?"
The witness replied: That's
right"
Testimony also developed the
fact that Chestnut Farms and
ThompSon'S Diaries have not had
any written contracts with the as
sociation since 1888. The two
dairies account for 70 per cent of
the associations production. The
association, in turn, supplies about
80 per cent of Washington's milk.
Under redirect examination by
Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Winn,
Mr.. Hooper observed that since
1912, Thompson's Dairy, without
consulting u.s." had purchased
some milk from on-association
sources.
Mr.. Winn is scheduled to resume
his questioning of Mr.. Hooper at
10 am. Monday before Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff.

Youth Agrees
ToLie Test in
Sayings
Man Held in Knitting
Of Druggist Called
Lonsbureh Suspect

A husky youth held on assault
and robbery charges has agreed
to take a lie-detector test in the
night watchmen murders at Lans-
burgh g. Bro. Department Store
police revealed today.
Ranking officials said that if he
is still willing, the prisoner will
undergo the test this afternoon
Questioned all day yesterday
was William A. Tyler, colored, 18,
OF the 2300 block of Pomeroy
road S.E.
Held Good Suspect"
Long without a fresh clue in
the April 7 murders of the two
department store watchmen, po-
lice described Tyler as a good
suspect" They based theiy op-
timlsm on these grounds:
Tyler has admitted being en-
ployed in the tea room at Lans-
burg's in 1948. The freshly
sharpened boning knife used in
the fatal stabbings came from
the stores tea room.
Tyler smokes the same brand
of cigarettes as those missed from
the store after the murders.
The case which brought Tyler
into police hands was regarded
by police as similar to the night
watchmen murders in "moduS op-
erandi," although it did not end
fatally.
The keys in the pocket of one
of the night watchmen were re-
moved by the murderer. Keys
also were removed from the pock-
ct of Jack Katzoff, 34-year-old
drugstore clerk stabbed Thursday
night. Mr.. Katzof identified
Tyler as his assailant.
Police also pointed out that
knives were used in both cases.
Held Under Bond.
Tyler, arraigned yesterday by
United States Commissioner Cyril
S. Lawrence, was held under
$4,000 bond on charges of as
sault with intent to kill Katzoff
and robbery with force and vio-
lence.
Katzoff, who lives at 2814 Erie
street Sc. and works in the Gar
field Pharmacy at 2107 Alabama
avenue Sc. said he was walking
home when he was beaten and
stabbed. He told police he recog-
niZed his assailant and gave them
Tyler's last name.
Police said Tyler has denied at
tacking Katzoff or numbering the
two watchmen-John c. Gar
penter. 66, of sos G street S.W.,
and his partner, Oliver R. Hess,
81, of 1924 Massachusetts ave-
