To Quit If Cheap Product Floods D. G.

the wall; and what it said didn't
look good to Mr.. Garrett.
He puts the situation this way:
over a period of Is years. the
Health Department has forced us
into this type of plant. 1t was ex-
pensive to build, and it's expen-
sive to run. OF course, it's possible
to make cheaper milk. Without
all the regula tions we've had to
put up with, all you need is a COW
and a. pail. az.
Couldn't Compete.
ts The plain fact is that I just
couldn't compete with cheap milk.
They can. open the gates and let
in anything they want to, but il
they bust the market, they'll bust
me right along with it. I'm luckier
than most Of the rest because I'm
lucky enough to be out of debt
This farm is worth about SITS, ,00C
today. and there are plenty oil
other ways to earn a living"
Should Farmer Garrett be
taken at his word? Some observ-
ers seem to think so. They say
that, il the advocates of an oper
Washington market prevail in tho
fight. the local dairy industry is
finished. Other observers, no less
qualified, are inclined to doubt it
One long time expert of the Ag-
riculture Department puts it this
way:
i know-it always sounds very
disturbing when these fellows tell
you that they're going out of busi-
ness. AS matter of fact, I've
never known a dairy farmer who
wasn't just on the verge of selling
out. The funny thing is, they keep
on talking like that year after

Man Wounds Himself
With .22-CaIiber Rifle

Hewie McClenny. "a, an elec-
trician, wounded himself in the
chest with a .22-caliber rifle yes
terday while seated in his truck
in Accokeek. Md. State police re-
ported.
His condition was reported as
not serious. He was given first
aid at the Physicians Memorial
Hospital, La Plata, and then was
treated at Mount Alto and trans
ferred to Gallinger.
Prince Georges Detective Will
son j. Purdy said Mr.. McClenny
had agreed to 60 to the Perry
Point MD hospital for obser-
vation.
State Police Trooper Allen Cole
man quoted Mr.. McClenny's
brother, Joyce j. McClenny, as
saying the shooting occurred
while the truck was parked in the
latter's yard. Hewie McClenny's
wife Dycie also was in the vehicle.
During a conversation between
the brothers, according to the
story told Trooper Coleman, Hewie
McClenny pointed at the rife and
said. Don't be afraid of that.
Look, I'll show you" Seconds
later the gun went off.
In the truck, State police re-
ported, they found newspaper
clippings relating to the case of
Mrs. Halle Mae Cobb, 80, who dis
appeared last May from her
Accokeek home. She has since
returned. While she was miss

Tommy, rs. who have handled the
operation of the farm since their
father suffered a heart attack last
year.
The life is a good one. and Mr..
Garrett and his sons are not an
xious to trade it for another. But
it is not q soft life, either. The
work-day at the farm starts at 8
am. 1t ends after the cows are
MIXED in the evening; and the
pace would leave the average city
slicker hanging on the ropes after
the first day. gS
Economic Reasons.
The reason Mr.. Garrett is talk
ing about going out Of business
is strictly economic. Over the
years of his membership with the
producers association, he has
built up his plant to meet the
highest requirements. for equip
ment and milk handling processes
laid down by the District Health
Department.. '.>
Up until now. this process has
paid off. Based on the high scores
his farm has been given by Dis
trict inspectors, Mr.. Garrett has
received premium payments foG
his milk from Washington dairies.
And, like all Washington dairy
men, Mr.. Garrett knows the high
standards imposed by the Health
Department have had consider
able effect in cutting down his
once-plaguing competition.
No one had to give Farmer Gar
rett any orders to send him
hurrying down to the big city
earlier this week. The move to
change District milk regulations
was easily read handwriting on

Beef and Pork

Lamb Hits S1.3j
Higher Meat Prices
Seen Due in Part to
Korean War Anxiety

Most pork and beef cuts in
creased from 2 to 10 cents pound
in many retail stores today, while
choice lamb chops scared to a rec
ord high of $1.35 a pound.
Il have never seen lamb that
high before" one butcher COM
mented. But he said that even at
S1.35 pound there was no profit
in it for retailers. s
Higher price tags on steaks
found these luxury items selling
for around $1.10 to $1.15 a pound.
One of the reasons advanced
for higher meat prices was a sea-
sonal decline in supplies which
was forcing wholesale prices up
ward. Stores, in turn, were forced
to pass on the higher purchase
price to their customers.
War Seen as Cause. =
Anxiety over the Korean war
was blamed for touching off some
price boosts.
The following changes were list
ed by one large food chain:
Porterhouse steak, $1.10 to
$1.15; sirloin and round steaks,
s1.05 to s1.10; chuck roast, SO to-
81 cents; rump roast, IS to 79
cents; sirloin tip roast, $1.05 to
s1.10; center pork chops, SO to.
85 cents: whole pork loin roast,
63 to IS cents; fresh picnics, IS
to 49 cents: smoked hams, 81 to-
SO cents; shoulder lamb roast, So.
to 81 cents: lamb shank, 80 to 49,.
and loin lamb chops. $1.33 to.
$1.35.
Veal Unchanged.
Veal and poultry were generally
unchanged in price, but an in.
crease here would not surprise re-
tailers. .
Some stores which failed to in.
crease the price of coffee 2 cents a
pound yesterday joined in the
move today. 1t was the third
round of increases since June.
The Dun & Bradstreet whole :.
sale food price index climbed 9
cents this week to $6.28-highest
since early December of 1948 but
still well below the record high
of $7.36 just two years ago. A year
ago the index was $3.50. The fig

Korean War Prompts
Senate 10 Kill Funds
For Office BuiIdinq

The Korean war has side
tracked the plans for starting
construction of new $40 mil
lion annex to the Senate Office
Building-a project most Sena-
tors favor but found they could
not vote for.
The item was knocked out of
the omnibus Federal appropria-
ton bill late yesterday by a Sen
ate roll-call vote of AZ to IS.
A little earlier, the Senate had
defeated, by a 46-to-32 vote. a
move by Senator Ellender, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana to strike out
a proposed SO million fund to
start the building and to substi-
tute $4,000 for a restudy of
plans.
At that time it looked as if
the project would be written into
the supply bill, but positive dec
larations by a few Senators that
the project now is unfortunate
and inappropriate in view of the
international crisis turned the
tide.
Thye Raises Issue.
The point first was raised by
Senator Thye, Republican, of
Minnesota. Later it was reiter-
ated by Chairman Mcclellan of
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee and was capped by dec
larations by Senator Holland of
Florida and Lehman of New
York, Democrats.
Regretfully opposing a project
admittedly needed, Senator Hol-
land told the Senate "the people
Iof the Nation expect us to put
first things first" in view of the
Korean and other international
problems that require stepped-up
Federal financing.
Business as usual" therefore,
is out, and to go ahead with the
extra Office space now would place
the Senate and Congress in a
most unfortunate position" he
said.
Chavez Counterattacks ID. C.
Senator Chavez. Democrat, of
New Mexico, head of the Senate
Office Building Commission, bit
ter over the defeat of the plan he
has guided for two years,
launched an immediate move
against the $12 million Federal
payment toward District gov
ernment costs.
He said that if the Senate
wants to economic, it should
start with the first chapter of the
bill-that providing for the Fed
eral payment to the District. He
moved to reconsider the vote by
which the Senate the day before
had given its unanimous approval
to this item.
But Senator Mcclellan quickly
moved to table the motion and
was upheld by a standing vote
of the Senate.
The need of the new Office
building was upheld by Senators
Bridges, Republican, Of New
Hampshire and Magnusen, Dem
ocrat, Of Washington.

No two Senators are less alike than Republican Owen Brewster of Maine and Democratic Glen Taylor of Idaho. But when it comes to getting support prices for potatoes, they battle side by side. COP leaders are hoping to line up Clare Boothe Luce and Congressman John Lodge of Connecticut to run for the Senate in Connecticut. Lodge has been somewhat eclipsed by his brother, the Senator from Massa- chusetts, but has an Al record and would make a terrific campaign. So would Mrs. Luce.

British newspapers are giving much attention to defense. The Manchester Guardian in an editorial discusses the problem of the defense of Great Britain these days of atomic weapons, V2 rockets, and jet bombers as follows:
 There is today fighter fast enough to destroy V2 rocket the latest nti-aircraft gun cannot touch the rockets guarantee protection against jet bombers The answer to the rocket, as to the slower destruction weapons, is the controlled projectie, itself rocket directed by remote control upon targets picked up by radar.
 Greater priority should be given to the devel- opment of this type of defense The real armament race today not between rival atomic stockpes, but between the fastest bomb carrier and the weapon that will kill it."

very far the road to modernizaton of her industry and agriculture.
 This treaty should not be judged entirely by the provisions revealed publicly however. There probably clauses parallel agreements made by Mao Tse-tung Salin during Maos lengthy stay in Mos COW. And even if there such secret agree ments still would have to suppose the two govern ments being Communist in character will colaborate more fully than the treaty text implies
 The important thing to remember is that this treaty formalizes the partnership of the two most populous Communist countries of the world, with 100000 people and the other with 450000000. It rounds out elaborate network of agreements which wraps in package about onethird of all the people of the world
 From the particular standpoint of the United States, there is omnous emphasis in this treaty on curbing the power of Japan A few years after the Japanees amok through the whole Far East, this is plausible objective. But it also happens that Japan is becoming the anchor of Americas de- lenses in the Western Pacific. In this sense, the Sno-Russian treaty is just as much an alliance against the United States as the Rome Berlin Tokyo Axis of Is eventful years ago.
