District Health Agency
Helps Control Price Of
Milk, Trial Is Told

The trial of seven dairies and
the Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association on charges of
conspiring to restrain milk trade
here entered its second day in
District Court today.
William B. Hooper. Office man
ager of the milk producers
association, was on the stand as
Governments first witness identi-
flying contracts signed since 1910
by the association and the de-
fendant dairies.
Chief Prosecutor Robert H.
Winn told Judge Alexander Holt
zoff yesterday that the Govern
ment intends to prove that milk
prices in Washington are unduly
high because agreements between
the association and the defendant
dairies tend to stifle competition.
Co. operation Cited.
Mr.. Winn said the District
Health Department co-operates
with the association in maintain
ing a geographical barrier" to
prevent the importation of milk
from sources outside the Washing
ton milk shed. This barrier" he
said, is moved back and forth and
sometimes lifted when producer
members Of the association find 1t
difficult to supply all the milk
their customers demand.
Roger Whiteford, attorney for
Chestnut Farms Dairy. told Judge
Holtzoff he resented the prosecu-
tors reflection on the Health De-
partment, whose standards have
given Washington the Nations
purest milk supply.
IF all the milk supplied to the
city Of Baltimore was offered in
this market, not more than S per
cent could come in because our
Health Department regulations
are so stringent" Mr.. Whiteford
said.
Right to Ask Relief.
Judge Holtzoff said he doubted
if he would allow the Government
to introduce evidence to support
its contention that the association
lput pressure on the Health De-
lpartment.
Every citizen has a right to
apply to Government agency for
such relief as he feels he is en-
titled to-" Judge Holtzof said.
The dairies on trial with the
association are Chestnut Farms
Chevy Chase, Thompson's, Rich
field. Wakefield, Harvey Dairy,
Alexandria Dairy and the Lucerne
Milk Co., operated by the Safeway
Stores.
The Government filed charges
against the association and the
dairies more than two years ago.
The defendants won q motion to
have the suit set aside when 1t
first came to trial before Judge
Richmond B. Keech. The United
States Court of Appeals reversed
this decision and ordered the
trial to proceed.

For The
Homemoker

To avoid the problems of paper
curtains and draperies, a new
fabric is appearing on the mar
kets as an inexpensive household
item, suggests Grace Ryan, home
management specialist for the Ag-
ricultural Extension Service at
the University of Arizona.
This drapery material costs
little. It is made from webs of
cotton fibers very firmly and
smoothly pressed or bonded to-
gether. This material is soft, has
sheen and weight. It resists mod
crate strain and may be modelled
into attractive pleated headings
which give desired tailored touch.
The price usually averages no
more per pair than the price of
one yard of standard cotton drap-
cry material. It has two added
advantages as budget fabric. It
provides an inexpensive way to
add a touch of color and design
TO a room. The material, called
luxor, can be temporary item if
necessary, because its discard would
not represent waste of expensive
fabric.
