An official of the Maryland and

The association spokesman old
The Star:
1T is evident we will have to
ask for a return of the seac al
adjustment at this hearing"
While he declined to give he
amount of the anticipated n
crease. it was recalled the st
downward adjustment of mill in
April. was IS cents a hunc ed
pounds-roughly a cent a quart.
Should this amount be approved
by the commission, Washington
area dairies would be expected to
increase the home-delivered price
to % cents quart.
Decision of Directors.
The commission granted dairies
in this area a half cent a quart
increase August /, because Of
higher labor costs stemming from
union contracts. This increased
the home-delivered price from
20k to 81 cents quart.
The association official stressed
the final decision on whether to
ask for a wholesale increase rests
with the co-operative's board Of
directors which meets late this
week.
However, the official then told
of drought conditions in some
parts of Maryland and Virginia.
which he said would result In a
hay shortage. He conceded that
pasture and crop conditions in
Fairfax and Montgomery counties
had been good, but not farther
afield.
The official of one large dairy
here said distributors would find
it impossible to absorb any whole
sale price increase and would
have to pass it on to consumers.
Mass Hearing on Increases.
Meanwhile, John Owen, secre-
tary of the Milk Commission, dis
closed plans for mass hearing
on price increases which he said
have been received from a num-
ber Of producers in Southwest

0fKorean Measures
BY the Assoeiaied Press

BALTIMORE, Sept. 5.-The
29th Division Association voted
yesterday to withhold approval of
measures taken by President Tru-
man and Congress to meet the Ko-
rean crisis.
A heated debate preceded an
111-64 roll-call vote to table a
resolution supporting Unite e d
States action after the invasion
of South Korea.
About 375 delegates from Vir-
ginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania
were registered at the 32d annual
reunion of former 29th Division
soldiers.
The resolution was introduced
by Charles Hoffman of Irvington,
N. j., shortly before adjournment
of the four-day meeting.
Opponents argued that passage
of the controversial proposal
might be misinterpreted as a
blanket Endorsement of admins
tration policies. They also re-
fused a compromise amendment
tagging the resolution as a re-
affirmation of Stephen Decatur's
MY country right or wrong" phi
losophy.
Also tabled by the delegates was
a resolution supporting a $100
million loan to Spain.
Approved were resolutions urg-
ing that Maryland's anti-subversive
Ober law be approved in the No
vember referendum and that Com
munist China be denied seat on
the United Nations Security Coun-
Gil.
