High Court Dismisses
Virginia Milk Law Suit

The Supreme Court today dis
missed an attack on constitution
ality of the Virginia law which
authorizes fixing of wholesale and
retail milk prices in the State.
The court held the appeal
brought by several communities
and consumers in the Newport
News area contained no Federal
constitutional question.
The case arose in 1948 as a re-
suit of orders by the State Milk
Commission in fixing prices. The
law had been upheld in earlier
decisions, but there had been no
previous ruling on two points
raised by the local communities
Those were: % That the re-
quirement tor appointment of a
producer and a distributor on
the three-member State board
amounted to unfair competition
CD That the law was unconstitu-
tional because it provided that
prices established by the State
commission for any specific area
could be Cancelled at the request

Senators Draft Plan
For Board TO Replace
Civil Service Setup
US. Agencies Would Pick
II Members to Work With
Present Commissioners
By Joseph YOUNG

A plan is being drafted in the
Senate Civil Service Committee
that would take control of run
ming the Governments personnel
system away from, the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and instead place
the authority in a new independ-
ent 15-member board.
There's no indication whether
the committee would approve such
a proposal, but the committee S
staff is preparing a plan to pre-
sent for the groups consideration
sometime after January.
The reason behind 1t is the dis
satisfaction of some members of
Congress with the present civil
service system. They feel that the
present personnel system is too
cumbersome and Ineffective.
Agencies Would Pick Men.
The plan for 15-member board
to run the personnel system would
provide for each of the IL largest
Government departments and
agencies to select an official to
represent it on the board. Pre-
sumably these officials would be
the personnel chiefs or specially
appointed administrative assist
ants in personnel matters.
The other three members would
be the three Civil Service Com
missioners, each of whom would
have a single vote, like the rest
of the boards members.
The board would be entrusted
with all policy matters regarding
civil service and Government per-
sonnel problems.
Commission Would Remain.
The Civil Service Commission
would continue to exist, but its
duties would be confined chiefly
to holding examinations. investi-

35%Cut0rdered
In Civilian Use
OF Aluminium
Reduction Effective
jan. ! Will Provide
For Military Needs
By Francis P. DouoIos

The Government today an.
nounced a 35 per cent cutback
in the civilian use of aluminium
beginning January /.
The order. issued by the Ma
tional Production Authority, pro.
vides that producers for nom
defense use must not use in each
quarter more than 65 per cent Of
the average quarterly use Of
aluminium during the first six
months of this year. The order
also provides that in December
users of aluminium will not be
permitted to go above 100 per
cent of their average monthly
consumption during the first six
months of 1850.
The order was announced at
press conference by William H.
Harrison, administrator of the Ma
tional Production Authority. He
said that the order looked ahead
to the military needs and that
roughly 80 per cent of the Nations
aluminium supplies would be taken
by various defense programs.
Small Users Exempt.
He said he was hopeful that
users of aluminium in producing
goods for civilian consumption
could learn to stretch their sup
plies or use other materials.
The order is expected to affect
producers of such articles as
kitchen utensils and household
appliances.
To assist small business, per-
sons using less than 1000 pounds
of aluminium year are exempt
from the order. The order also
does not apply to contracts made
before today.
There is to be no cutback in
the use of aluminium for mainte-
nance. repairs and operating sup
plies, but the use for that purpose
cannot exceed 100 per cent of the
use in the base period.
Mr.. Harrison said intensive
study is being given to the ques-
ton whether further defense
needs will mean a limitation on
non-essential uses of products,
particularly metals. He cited cop
per wire as an example of prod
uct which is the subject Of such
studies.
Hope to Stabilize Price.
He said he hoped that the ef-
feet Of today's order would be to
stabilize to price of aluminium it
self. Where end products are in
tight supply. he said, the price
may go up.
The NPA administrator con-
ceded it was quite likely there
would be some unemployment as
a result of the order.
Asked whether the NPA is get
ting from the Munitions Board re-
ports on the needs for the defense
program, he replied:
1--WE are getting information
covering many cf the materials
going into the present program"
He cited as metals in particu-
larry tight supply cobalt, tungsten,
cadmium, zinc and manganese.
The NPA has already indicated
that the entire supply of cobalt
may be reserved to the military.
MI. Harrison said there are
prospects of getting larger sup
plies of aluminium by opening up
facilities formerly in use and that
the General Service Administra-
tion has had people in Canada
to see If more aluminium can be
obtained there.

nism. outlined a comprehensive
program of American action to
help bolster the free nations
economic strength.
Sure to stir controversy from
election-heartened Republican op-
ponents of Truman policies, the
recommendations included:
/. Continuance of economic aid
to Western Europe "for another
three or four years beyond the
present time" instead of ending
the Marshall Plan in mid-1952 as
now scheduled.
2. Intensified aid to underde-
veloped areas. aggregating more
than s1.1 billion a year in grants
and loans. plus stimulation of
private investment through Gov
ernment guarantees and protec-
ton treaties.
Would End Discrimination.
8. Prompt repeal of the 1898
Buy American" Act which re-
quires discrimination against i'm
ported goods in Government pro-
curement, and a change of policy
to permit proceeds of United
States Government loans to be
spent outside as well as within
this country.
4. Further general tariff reduc-
tions: renewal for four years of
the Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act due to expire next June IL,
possibly with authority to make
deeper tariff cuts than now au-
thorized; and temporary legisla-
ton to permit unilateral tariff
cuts on specific scarce commodi-
ties.
5. Modification Of the farm
price support system in way to
reduce or eliminate the need for
such measures as import quotas
and embargoes that conflict with
foreign economic policy.
Limitation Of Subsidies.
6. Limitation of Government
subsidies and other protective
measures for the American mer-
chant marine to the amount
necessary to maintain the op-
Grafton of Shipping facilities re-
quired for national security" in
order to enlarge the competitive
opportunity for foreign shipping
7. International collaboration to
channel supplies of scarce mate
rials among the free nations "in
the manner best calculated to
contribute to the common de-
fense."
8. Capitalization in one agency
of all foreign economic aid pro-
grams, now scattered throughout
the Government"
Cost Of the foreign aid recon-
mended was not estimated in the
report, prepared by former Sec
retary Of the Army Gordon Gray.
But it said the total requirements
annually should be substantially
less" than the around SIS billion
the United States has been spend
ing for such purposes during the
past year.
"In terms of our own interests
and of growing collective strength" !"
the report asserted, "the gains
will far outweigh the costs as they
have in recent years."
President Truman released the
99-page report last night, with
an accompanying statement that
praised it but did not indorse its
recommendations in detail.
Review Started in March.
