Milk Producers Slated
To Argue Today for
1-Cenf-a.Quart Boost

Spokesman for the Maryland
and Virginia Milk Producers AS
ISOLATION were scheduled today to
argue their case in Richmond for
la 1-cent-a-quart increase in the
price Of milk in the Washington
area starting October l.
The Virginia Milk Commission
is holding two-day hearing in
the Virginia capital on milk prices
for 80 areas in the State, includ-
ing the Alexandria Arlington area.
Previously any price increase
granted nearby Virginia distribu-
tors has been followed by an
equivalent rise in price by Wash
ington diaries.
Brief Filed.
The association has filed brief
with the commission asking for a
restoration of the class I price of
milk to last falls level of $6J06 per
100 pounds, effective October !.
The present price is $500.
The increase would amount to
cent a quart to the diaries.
The diaries in this area have said
they would not be able to absorb
the boost because of the close
profit margins under which they
operate.
Should the commission grant the
increase, the price of home-deliv-
cred milk in this area would go
to % cents a quart, the highest
on record.
The Commission heard yester-
day that deliveries of fluid milk
by Virginia producers are barely
adequate Ito meet the consump-
ton needs Of the State and pro-
vide for the proper functioning
of the marketing system. )"
Conner Spoke.
M. c. Conner of the Virginia
Agricultural experiment station
at Virginia Tech had been asked
to appear during the hearing to
present pertinent information and
suggestions. the Associated Press
reported.
June figures for controlled
markets showed only about a IL
per cent surplus, whereas the
surplus would need to be about
Is to 80 per cent at that time
of the year with our present sea-
sonal pattern if markets are to
have an adequate supply in the
fall and winter without outside
purchases" Mr.. Conner asserted.
Another proposal would estah-
fish a price difierential OF at
least cent between store sales
and doorstep sales of milk in all
Virginia markets. 1t was presented

Chinese Nationalist
Al U. n. Are Unhappy
Over Marshall Choice
By Ernie Hill
Correspondent OF The Stor ond
Chicago Daily News

LAKE SUCCESS, Sept. IA
Chinese Nationalist at the United
Nations are unhappy over the ap-
pointment of Gen. George Mar
shall as Americas Secretary Of
Defense.
They interpret his return to the
cabinet as defeat for that group
of Americans and for Chinese Ma
tionalists who want the United
States to defend Formosa even il
it means going to war with Com
munist China.
President Truman's recent back
down on the defense of FormoSa
and his action ordering Gen. Mac
Arthur to withdraw a speech deal
ing with defense of the island
were Nationalist setbacks, but
Gen. Marshall's appointment
came as a blow.
When he was President Tru-
mans special envoy to China
studying the possibility of ending
the Chinese revolution, Gen. Mar
shall found Chang Kai-shek I'M
popular and laid the ground work
for abandoning him with only a
dribble of American aid. Gen
Marshall agreed with the late Gen
Joseph Stilwen about Chang.
Called Domestic Affair"
DR.. Tingfu s. Tsiang, Chiang's
representative on the United Ma
tons Security Council, was asked
to comment on the change of De-
tense Secretaries.
This is purely a domestic af-
fair" said DR.. Tsiang. "Of course,
it would be out of place for any OF
us to comment"
Other Chinese Nationalist,
, however, were less diplomatic
They interpreted the move as an
other step toward the eventual
, recognition by the United Nations
-. of the Chinese Communists.
, Gen. MarShall's views on Chan
. and Nationalist China have been
: shared by DR.. Phillip Jessup, spe-
cial Ambassador and Far East
expert for the State Department.
Mrs. Roosevelt Agrees.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. chair
man of the U. N. Human Rights
Commission. also has echoed Gen.
Marshall's ideas.
At a luncheon of the United
Nations Correspondents ASsocia-
ton earlier this year. she said
Gen. Marshall in 1916 urged
Chiang to institute reforms that
would strengthen him among the
Chinese people.
Mrs. Roosevelt stated that
Chang had failed to act on any
of the suggestions. Gen. Marshall
and Gen. Stilwell, she said, both
believed that neither Chang nor
the Communists were popular with
the great bulk of China's $50 mil
lion people.

War Plants Granted
Priority in Hiring al
Employment Offices
BY the Associated Press

A national manpower program
began shaping up today as war
plants were given top priority in
hiring at the 1900 Federal-State
employment Offices.
The Labor Department, in a
special labor market survey and
in an address by its director of
employment security. reported:
l. Expansion of the labor force
can take care of President Tru-
mans doubled goals-a $50 billion
annual rate Of defense spending
and 3 million men under arms.
2. But, if call for full mobiliza-
ton were to bring 12.5 million men
again under arms, strictly civilian
industry would have to give up
one-fourth of its labor supply. 1t
would lose sc million workers.
The director of employment Sc
curity. Robert c. Goodwin, in a
speech prepared for group of in
dustrialistS at Wayne University,
Detroit. said that manpower may
again become a major problem. I"
He estimated that the country's
total labor force-at home and in
uniform-can be expanded to meet
the needs of the next nine months
and could be boosted by Sc million
in war emergency. But he said
nevertheless will set the
ultimate ceiling on war production.
The Sc million figure does not
include an estimated 2 million or
8 million who might be drawn
from the ranks of the unemployed,
because they are already counted
in the labor force. The Labor
Department said the Sc million
represents women, youths, retired
workers and others who can be
Iured into jobs.
During the present partial
mobilization. Mr.. Goodwin said
the Labor Department and the
cooperating State employment
offices have undertaken a man
power program with these key
points:
/. Expanding the labor force by
publicizing defense job opportun-
tiles, working out recruitment
drives, analyZing future labor
needs and steering new plants into
areas where unused labor supplies
exist.
2. Giving defense plants a pri-
GRITTY claim on job-seekers. This
means the local offices will not
refer a qualified applicant first to
a civilian factory. no matter how
serious its need, if he is needed in
a plant working on war orders.
8. Advising" the military and
Selective service on department
policies which would cause the
least possible industrial disrup-
ton" during draft calls and the
summoning of Reservists.
Factory Work Essential.
Success in meeting the man
power problem, Mr.. Goodwin said,
must be based ION an understand
ing that in time of national emer-
gency factory workers can be as
indispensable as the man In uni
form"
He named these other policies
for dealing with civilian manpow-
er, "at least in the early stages of
mobilization:
1.-THE use of voluntary measures
for manpower mobilization to the
fullest extent possible; the use Of
Government manpower controls
only to the extent necessary to
achieve mobilization goals and the

ton directed the unions officers to
continue the vigorous" opposition
against any move by Congress to
reduce the current 26 days an
nual and is days sick leave ben
efitS of Federal employees.
Also in connection with leave,
the NFFE convention approved a
resolution calling for cash pay
ment to employees who are asked
to give up some of their leave
time because of the heavy work
loads in their agencies. This
would apply particularly to the de-
tense and security agencies. The
resolution would provide that the
employees be paid cash for the
leave they did not use during the
year because of their agency's re-
quest to stay on the job.
SALARIES - The convention
also approved resolutions calling
on Congress to revise the Federal
Classification Pay Act again.
Although Congress overhauled
the act last year, the convention
declared three additional major
changes are needed.
The NFFE delegates urged that
the classification act contain more
within-grade pay steps for each
pay grade, better entrance SAL
aries. and an unlimited number
of top $1,000 to $4,000 a year
Jobs.
The resolutions point out that
the first two changes would aid
lower-paid employees and that the
removal of the 4oo-job> limitation
in the $11 900 to $4,000 job cate
CORY would allow some deserving
career officials to receive salary
increases.
Still to be considered by the
convention is the question of in
creasing Federal salaries general
ly, if the rise in the cost of living
isn't checked. The convention is
expected to take such a stand.
SUPERVISORS The conyen-
ton also urged Congress and the
Civil Service Commission to end
the "glaring inequity" whereby
some supervisors make less money
than employees working under
them. This Is the worst type of
administrative mismanagement.
the resolution declared. ,
EXTENDED SESSIONS - The
more than 500 resolutions pend
ing before the convention on prac-
tically every type of Federal per-
sonnet problem may necessitate
keeping the delegates here until
Saturday night. It had been
planned to quit by tomorrow; but
unless the delegates put on a sud-
den burst of speed, the conven-
ton will end q day later than
expected.
