Senate Unit 0ks
Bill 10 Purchase
Old Stone House
Full Committee to Get
Measure Tomorrow;
Price Bor Is Dropped

A Senate Public Works subcom.
mittee today approved a bill to
provide for Government purchase
of the Old Stone House at 305l
M street NV.
The subcommittee. headed by
Senator Holland, Democrat Of
Florida, approved the Senate ver-
sion of the legislation and sent
it to the full Public Works Com
mittee for action tomorrow.
BY taking the Senate version
the subcommittee dropped a pro-
vision in a somewhat similar
House-passed bill restricting the
purchase price.
The House had provided that
the purchase price of the house
and lot in Georgetown should not
exceed the Government appraisal
or price fixed in condemnation
proceedings by more than Is per
cent. The House bill also pro-
vided that more than $4,000
could be spent for the property
without further authorization Of
Congress.
The full committee will consider
! the bill along with other bills af-
fecting the District.
Also scheduled for action by the
full committee is a House passed
bill for completion of the WASH
lngton- Baltimore Parkway. This
measure authorizes $13 million for
construction of that part of the
new highway from a point near
Fort Meade, Md, southwark into
the District, through Anacostia
Park and over the Anacostia River
to a point connecting with New
York avenue extended.
The committee also plans to act
on the multi-million- dollar bill
authorizing Federal aid for high
ways. AS approved by the roads
subcommittee, the bill would au-
thorize about So million for high
way improvement in the District
Tor the fiscal years 1852 and 1858.
Most Of this aid would have to
be matched by District funds dol
lar for dollar. but none would be-
come available until it is appropri-
ated by Congress next year.

MILK: Eveybodys Problem
Both Sides Quote Statistics
To Prove Price Arquments

profit than most distributors In
other cities.
It is this fact that makes 1t
possible for the association to
point proudly to their own list of
retail statistics. But that list,
while perhaps coming closer to
telling the consumer where his in
terest lies, is not entirely undis-
torted, either.
Picture Has Changed.
In the first place, the associa-
ton, by implication at least. is
taking credit for the small margin
of profit shown by the distributors
In the second place, the picture
has changed considerably since
last year.
For the first seven months of
1949, the District milk prices re-
mained under the national average
by amounts varying from 3 of
cent to ! cent. However. in Au-
gust, the positions were reversed
For the last five months of the
year, the District figure was higher
than the average. by fractional
parts of cent.
The trend has continued into
this year. with the greatest differ
ence recorded in March, when the
United States average was 2O.3
cents and the District price, 21.3
cents. In May, the last month for
which figures are available, WASH
ington milk was above the ma
tlonal average by Z cent a quart.
Battle of Figures.
So it would seem that today
the retail price of milk is neither
one of the highest of any COM
parable city in the United States, -
nor ''the highest quality milk at
below average price,"
Government statisticians, who
don't have axes to grind, are
amused by the current battle. of
statistics. They realize, however,
that the figures are being used as
weapons on a battle of really seri-
GUS implication.
The general feeling is that
Washington actually does pay
higher than average prices for
what, in most other communities.
would be classified as premium
quality milk. They feel that, if
the present District milk regula-
tions are retained and the associa-
ton retains it's control, the slight
ly higher price of milk will con-
tinue.
The question that then arises
is whether or not the WASHINGTON
public is really getting it's moneys
worth in the milk it buys.

Germans Studying
FAU. Of Virginia Win
Applause at Institute
By George Kennedy
sfar Sfoff Correspondent

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Jul,
l1.-Several young Germans VIII,
are studying here to become diplo.
mats have endeared themselves tf
Virginians attending the Institute
of Public Affairs.
Summer students at the Wood.
row Wilson School of Foreign
Affairs-part of the University OF
Virginia-they stole the show yes
terday at one of the opening
panels OF the 17th institute.
Panel discussion had centered
on the question of how far the
United States should go in influ-
encing the actions of Marshall
Plan countries.
Grid Brand, one of the young
Germans who want to be diplo-
mats when their country again
takes its place among the nations
OF the world, noted that the panel
speakers had praised the Schuman
plan for integrating Western Eu-
ropes steel making.
+ Asks a Question,
Not all Of the Allied countries
have indorsed the plan, he pointed
out. Were the Americans, he asked,
willing to bring pressure on them
to end this opposition?
On the panel were James 3.
Reston of the New York Times
Michael Ross, director of the CLOS
Department D Of International AZ
fairs; Harlow j. Heneman of the
State Department, Ferdinand
Kuhn. jr., OF the Washington Post
and others.
Their answer to Mr.. Brand was
that Great Britain has not taken
a stand against the Schuman plan
but is keeping out of the matter
Mr.. Reston and Mr.. Kuhn agreed
that any attempt to change this
decision was the sort of influence
the United States should not brine
to bear.
Student Disagrees.
Mr.. Kuhn had said he did moi
believe the division of Germany
to be an "unmixed evil" East
and West Germany are quite diff
ferent. he said, and an undivided
Germany would be SO big as to
arouse fears. He said it is the
division of Germany that is en-
abling the Western sector to re-
join the society of nations.
To this, Swidbert Schnippen-
koetter, one Of the diplomats-to-
be, took exception.
There is less difference between
East and West Germany, he said
with obvious respect to his Vir-
ginia hosts, than he has found
between the North and the South
of this country. -
The audience responded with
enthusiasm. It was the first gen.
uine interim applause so far at
the institute.

Stores Worried
By Rush Buying
0fFoods Here
Purchases of Sugar
And Canned Goods
Termed Excessive
BY MoIcoIm Lomborne, Jr.

Washington area housewives are
purchasing items which were hard
to get in World War II at a rate
that is beginning to worry some
retailers as much as an expanding
cost of living is worrying house
wives.
While retailers were advising
customers to take it easy on buy
ing, the White House was taking
hands-off policy on the living
cost boom which arose after the
Korean campaign.
Asked if President Truman plan,
any action, Press Secretary Charlie.
G. Ross said he thought the issue
might be influenced by the forth.
coming report of the Council O,
Economic Advisers.
Botn wholesale and retail
sources agree there is excessive
buying of sugar, canned goods
pepper, soap, toilet tissue and fats
and oils.
Supermarket Posts Signs.
The situation has forced one
large Supermarket chain to post
signs in its sugar department de-
claring: Buy normally, there's
enough for ALL"
That slogan, incidentally, could
apply to all the commodities being
bought by would-be hoarders.
A spokesman reminded that
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan
had stated recently that the coun-
try was in a better shape on food
supplies than ever before.
Responsible Government official
have been reluctant to make any
public statement on the remote
ness of food ratiohing for fear il
would only encourage scare buy
ing.

plored panic buying and said there

Artificial Shortages Feared.
What worries both the industr,
and Government officials is tina
excess purchases may create arti

prices upward. Even before tn,

One retailer summed UP: "Al

A wholesaler commented: "It's

write something to quiet these
people" ...
This wholesaler, who sells
mostly to hotels and restaurants,
disclosed that some restaurants
also were buying excessively. He
said his sugar sales were 10 to Is
per cent above normal; pepper,
up Is per cent, and canned goods,
up to 10 per cent.
The run on sugar comes at a
time when sales increase because
of home canning activities.

Baltimore. quoting the Evening
Sun, said banks there had been
approached for loans as high as
$4,000 and $4,000 by persons
wishing to stock up on items usu-
ally scarce in wartime. officials
at leading Washington banks said
they have received no similar
applications.

Third OF a Series.)
By Crosby S. Moves

One of the most interesting
things about the present milk
fight in Washington is the dem
onstration of the old adage that
you can prove anything by sta
tisticS.
In the fight to break the near
monopoly control of Washington's S
milk supply by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
ton, both sides have Hberaliy
quoted statistics to bolster their
case.
Nowhere in the argument is this
fact .truer than when the price of
milk here is discussed. The argu-
ment over price is important. The
opponents of the producers mo-
nopoly here base a good deal of
their case on the contention the
Washington public is being gouged
for all it will bear on milk prices.
The association, on the other hand,
stoutly maintains milk prices here
are not, in fact, out of line with
those in the rest of the country.
Nebraskan Quotes Prices.
For instance, Representative
Miller. Republican. of Nebraska,
and potent foe of the producers
association, has told the people
that, thanks to restrictive regula-
tions here, Washington has one
of the highest prices of any COM
parable city of the United States. -
/ Arguing for his bill to open up
the Washington market to out
side production, he quotes an
Agriculture Department report for
April. The average price of milk
all over the country, he says. was
$4.38 per hundred pounds. The
price in the District was $3.50;
Chicago. 1851; San Francisco,
$4.22; Detroit, $4.20; New York.
$500. and so on.
! On the other hand almost simul-
taneously, the association comes
out with a different set of sta
tistics. These figures are put to-
gether by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and prove, says the as
sociation, that Washington resi-
dents are getting "the highest
quality milk at below average
price"
The figures, indeed. bear this
out. In the list of retail food
prices by cities for 1949, the Dis
trict average price of milk per
quart as 20.8 cents-one-third
of a cent under the indicated
United States average.
Neither Is Complete.
Both sets of statistics are en-
tirely accurate. But further in
vestigation at the Agriculture and
Labor Departments reveals that
neither set gives an entirely true
picture.
To take Representative Miller's
set first. it is obvious that what
is being quoted are the wholesale
prices for milk to be used for
bottled. fluid consumption. In
other words. it represents the
price paid by the dairies to the
farmers for their highest-priced
produce.
What it doesn't show is what
the same milk costs the consumer.
The retail price-which is, of
course, what the average milk
drinker is mainly worried about
is left entirely to the imagination
Actually, the retail. consumer
price of milk is very much closer
ito being in line with the national
average. It is below the price
!, paid in a good many cities of COM
parable size.
The difference between the high
wholesale price and the relatively
moderate consumer price is made
up here by the distributors. The
fact is that dairies here show a
much smaller margin of gross

Also Rejects Proposal
For Custer of School

The Montgomery County Board
OF Education today expressed its
full support of last months action
by ;Supt. Edwin w. = Broome in

teacher at Montgomery Blair High
School in Silver Spring.
DR.. Broome DISCHARGED Mr.
Hinckley about three weeks ago
after the latter had been named
as a one-time member of the
Communist Party. underground in
testimony before the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities.
Mr.. Hinckley was accused by
Elizabeth 7. Bentley, self-con-
fessed former Soviet. espionage
courier, on May g. About month
later, he was called before the
House Committee but refused to
state whether he was or is a Com
munist or whether he knew Miss
Bentley, all on the grounds of pos
slble standardization.
Attorneys Proposals Rejected.
The board also rejected propos-
ais by Franklin T. Miles, Chevy
Chase attorney, for establishment
OF a county un-American activi-
ties committee and for Dr.
Broome's dismissal.
Mr., Miles made the request to-
DAY IN a three-page statement in
which he said there may be hun
dreds of other slithering Hinck-
ieys' in the county school system
The board said Mr.. Miles had
submitted no evidence to support
his charges. AS a result, the board
added, it considers as unworthy
Tor further attention statements
made deregatory to the school sys-
tenn without any supporting evil
dence whatever"
Board members said they would
continue their practice of obtain
ing statements from three persons
for each teacher employed in the
county. certifying that he is not
a subyersive person as defined In
Maryland's Ober law.
Oaths Required.
In addition, according to the
board. each employe of the school
system is required to swear that
he has never engaged in and is
not now engaging in any SUBJ
versive activity.
"The board has no reason to
question the loyalty of any teach-
er now, in the public school system
of this county," the group de-
clared.
1t added that "any person is in
vlted to submit evidence in writ
ing as to any member of the school
system whom he specifically
charges as being disloyal." =
Opposes Inquiry. :
Opposition to a full-scale- in
vestigation of county school en-
ployes was voiced in letter to
the board from Frank McNaugh-
ton, president of the Montgomery
Blair Parent Teacher Association.

Naughton wrote. chat anv ono
