Korea Emblem Seen
AT Guard Camp
Its 18th Insignia
by the Associated Press

CAMP PICKETT, Va, July IL.
-Korea's national emblem Is
much in evidence here.
1t is the blue and gray insignia
of the 29th Infantry Division of
the National Guard, rather than
the Korean good and evil symbol.
The Korean emblem, illustrat-
ing the eternal conflict and bal
ance between good and evil in the
human soul and drawn by an un-
known Oriental philosopher. was
adopted by the 10Th in 1917 short
ly after its activation at Camp
Mcclellan, Ala, for World War
I duty.
The division emblem, however,
signifies the close relationship be-
tween the Northerners and South
erners in the outfit, hence the
sobriquet Blue and Gray Division.

Third of a SerieSJ
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
milk supply by the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
tion, both sides have literally
quoted statistics to bolster their
case.
Nowhere in the argument is this
fact truer than when the price of
pilk 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 stimuli
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

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

The retail prlce-Whlcn Is, OF
course, what the average milk
drinker is mainly worried about
lis left entirely to the imagination
Actually. the retail. consumer
price of milk is very much closer
to being in line with the national
average. 1t 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 q
much smaller margin Of gross
profit than most distributors in
other cities.
1t is this fact that makes II
possible for the association to
point proudly to their own list OF
retail statistics. But that list
while perhaps coming closer tc
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. l
cent to ! Gent. However. in All
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 a cent.
The trend has continued into
this year. with the greatest differ
ence recorded in March, when the
United States average was 20.3
cents and the District price, q. 3
cents. In May, the last month for
which figures are available. Wash
lngton milk was above the ma
tional average by z cent a quart.
Battle of Figures.
So it would seem that todav
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
higherA 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 its control, the slight-
ly higher price of milk will con-
tinue. .. 49,.
The question that then arises
is whether or not the Washington
public is really getting its moneys
worth in the milk it buys.

There are hundreds of other slither-
1 ing Hinckleys Intentionally indoc-
trinating county school children

tional principles of our American

Criticizes DIR. Broome.
He added that DR.. Broome made
no effort to dismiss Mr.. Hinckley
until forced to do so as a result
OF Miss Bentley's testimony.
Board Member H. Stanley Stine
asked Mr.. Miles if he had evidence
OF any un-American teachers in
the county school system, and
whether the attorney wanted to
make any specific charges against
any teachers. Mr.. Miles replied
IN the negative.
The board took no action on

Timber Lone Residents
Told City Is Nearly
At Its Credit Limit

4NCdl2y OU cdl1S NIlUICl1 ICSl-
dents who complained of poor
drainage around their properties
were told by the City Council last
night that there is no prospect of
real relief until next year.
Mayor Albert M. Orme informed
a group of Timber Lane property
owners that the city's borrowing
power was virtually exhausted by
the 100000 school bond issue ap-
proved by the voters last No
vember.
The Mayor predicted, however,
that a reaSsesSment to go into
effect next January will enable
the city to borrow approximately
$500, 900 more.
Under State law, the city can
not bond Itself beyond 10 per cent
OF its assessed valuation,
Would Tax on 45%.
The reasSessment now under
way. the Mayor said, will put
properties on the tax rolls at IS
per cent Of true value, rather than
at approximately 20 per cent, as
at present.
Lee M. Rhoads. chairman of
the Councils Finance Committee,
said 1t would be impossible to rem
edy drainage conditions unless a
new source of revenue could be-
found.
He said he had been reluctant
to recommend tax rate increase
for the current year because "the
assessment figures inherited from
Fairfax County included some
gross inequities.
Roy M. Dunn, city manager
told the residents that storm
sewer installation in the Timber
lane area would cost approx
mately $4,000. For the entire
1950-1 fiscal year, Mr.. Dunn re-
ported. he has only $4,000 to
spend on drainage problems
throughout the city.
Girl Swept Along Gutter.
A prediction that there will be
no property on Timber lane If you
wait until 1851" was made by
John p. Scott, jr., of SIS Timber
lane. He reported that "a little
girl was swept go or 10 feet along
a gutter" in the last storm before
she was rescued.
Suits totaling up to $500, 900
faced the city, Mr.. Scott warned,
unless action is taken.

Three police cars were pur-
chased from Falls Church Garage,

dition to Rust Manor Shopping
Center was approved.
