Vinson, McGroth Poy Tribute
ToLdte Chief Justice HUGHES

Humane but efficient," Chief
Justice Vinson said, Charles
Evans Hughes manifests the
balance which is especially worthy
of emulation today. There is
much oyer-interest these days in
classification at the expense OF
comprehension.
There is excessive pressure 10
take all or none of a single dogma,
rather than to accept the good
and reject the evil of all pro-
posalS."
Chief Justice Vinson remarked
that the abilities of Chief Justice
Hughes were so varied that the
public sometimes overlooked the
lofty spirit in which he applied
them.
The memorial services are ira

The impressive ceremonies were
attended by delegations from ma

BY the Assoeioted Press

HOLLYWOOD. May 8.-Secre-
iary of State Acheson has been
asked by the Hollywood AFL Film
Council to help halt attempts to
transfer "a large part" of Amer

In its appeal to Mr.. Acheson the

10000 workers, stated yesterday:
'The Anglo-American film agree
nent which is about to expire has
:esulted in more and more Amer

American companies in England
Employing English workers at cut
rate wages far below American
standards"

Chief Justice VinSon today cited
one of his predecessors, the late
Chief Justice Hughes, as the kind
of public official especially needed
at this time of excessive pressure
to take all or none of a single
dogma"
Attorney General McGrath
another speaker at Supreme Court
memorial ceremonies for Mr..
Hughes. who died in 1948, paid
tribute to him for the favorable
outcome of a grave constitutional
crisis" that affected the court and
the Nation in the late 1930S.
Without mentioning the late
President Roosevelt's plan to re
form" the court by enlarging it,
Mr.. McGrath, a former Demo-
cratic national chairman, declared
it was fortunate indeed that
Charles Evans Hughes was Chief
Justice"
Il have no wish, least of all in
this chamber" Mr.. McGrath con-
tinued, Ito revive the emotions
which the grave constitutional
crisis evoked or even to recall the
broad outlines of the struggle.
But viewing the matter in retro
Spect, realizing that the conflict
was one that either both sides
would lose or both sides would
win, think it is both fair and ac-
curate to say that to Chief Justice
Hughes must go much of the
credit for the ultimate outcome.
It not only preserved our most
cherished institutions but yet
adapted them to the manifold
needs Of an increasingly complex
society,""
In the opinion of Chief Justice
Vinson. the most outstanding
characteristics of Chief Justice
Hughes were his objective spirit"
and balanced devotion to duty"

By The Assoeiatsd Press

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, July
IA. - Warrants charging the
owners Of the pier at Fairview
Beach, q Potomac River resort,
with illegally operating slot ma
chimes and selling beer without a
Virginia license have been issued
by the Commonwealth Attorney
OF King George County.
I Fairview is a few miles north OF
Colonial Beach.
The warrants were issued
against Mrs. Ida L. Sonnenberg,
Fairview Beach owner, by Com
monwealth's Attorney Horace T.
Morrison.
Mr.. Morrisons contends that the
offshore waters are in virginia,
not Maryland, when the boundary
is measured according to the COM
pact Of 1885 between the two
States.
Beer Is sold and slot machines
are operated at the pier under
Charles County (Md.) licenses.
Mr.. Morrison quoted the com.
pact in his contention that the
pier is within Virginia jurisdiction,
as follows:
The low water mark on the
Potomac to which Virginia has q
right in the soil is to be measured
+. .. from the low water mark at
one headland to the low water
mark at another, without follow
ing indentation, bays, creeks, In

Personnel Shortage

House Group Is Told

Inspection Of Washington area
dairy farms has been hampered
by a lack Of trained personnel in
the District government, a House
District subcommittee was told
yesterday.
Testifying before the subcom-
mittee, Walter w. Burdette, chief
Of the District Bureau Of Food IN
spection, said that most farms sup
plying Washington milk received
three inspections by official veteri-
narians last year. while some were
inspected only once or not at all.
He explained that six inspec-
tions year for each farm is con-
sidered desirable by District Health
Ohicer Daniel L. Seckinger. Mr..
Burdette later said that the law
governing milk production here
requires only that a farm be in
speetedt before a permit is issued
allowing the farmer to ship his
milk into Washington. These per-
.mits are renewed yearly, he said.
At yesterdays session, Represen-
tatiye Miller. Republican, of Ne
braska asked Mr.. Burdette to fur
nish the subcommittee with the
names Of farm operators whose
plants had received little or no
inspection for a year.
DR.. Miller is author of a bill,
under consideration by the SUBJ
committee. which would open up
the Washington market to milk
imported from other areas.
Mr.. Burdette told the subcom-
mittee that the District had only
six inspectors available most OF
last year. Twelve would be re-
quired to do thorough inspection

Milk: Essubody Problem
Economic Factor Is important
In Settlement Of Milk Dispute

that the present regulations are
antlquated. and it is a fact that
the steam sterilization methods
now required are considered old
fashioned by many experts. Never
theleSS, it is also a fact that this
same method has played a part
in giving Washington a record
for milk purity that is unsur-
passed by any other city, and far
better than most.
If the rules are changed, the
benefit would go mostly to the
small local producer who does not
try to compete with the associa-
ton in the Washington market
today. It also would go to dairy
farmers outside the area who
might be able to ship a less ex-
pensively produced product than
local milk. It would be a victory
for independent retailers here
who. for one reason or another
don't want to buy from the asso-
citation. IT,
If it becomes possible to obtair
less expensive milk here, and thu
present pattern of small profi
margins by the diaries Is main
tanned. the saving might be passec
on to the consuming public. Ex.
perts cautiously guess that thiI
saving might run as high as / cen,
a quart under the present prices
which are close to the nationa
average.
The loss would be to the large
scale producers who make up the
local dairy industry. Their own
opinion is that. If the regulations
are changed, the industry is fin
ished.
If this summary of the situation
is correct, it seems the issues in
volved in the milk war are far
from being either all black or all
white. But the District Commits
lsioners and Congress and the pub
lie are at a point where a deci-
sion one way or the other must
be made. Recent talk about the
possibility of reaching a compro-
mise on the issues satisfactory te
both parties would seem ove---
optimistic.
The consumer can only hope
that whichever way the matter
is decided for him, his own in
tesests will not be overlooked ir
a clash Of political pressures.
