Milk Barriers
Under Health
Guiise Hit
Senate Report Sees
High D. c. Price as
Hardship on Poor

The Districts controversial milk
regulations were described in a
Senate report late yesterday as
IAN example of trade barriers
under guise Of protection of the
public health"
High prices here, the investi-
gators said, are a special hardship
on low-income families, and one
result has been to reduce milk
consumption in Washington be-
low that Of beer, wine and liquor.
The Agriculture Committee,
headed by Senator Ellender, Dem
ocrat, of Louisiana, indorsed a
report received from its Milk and
Bakery Subcommittee on the use
|of farm products throughout the
Nation.
Hearings on which the local
findings were based date back 10
last summer, when Senate Gill
lette, Democrat, of Iowa, was
head of the inquiry group. A re-
port was filed with the full COM
mittee last January, and later
Senator Gillette was transferred
to another committee.
Senator Ellender said last June
the delay in issuing the report re-
suited from the fact that Senator
Gillette was the only member Of
last years subcommittee who had
heard all of the testimony about
the Washington milk situation.
Control Based on Law.
"It is quite clear that the Mary
land and Virginia Milk Producers
Association control over the milk
supply of the District is accom-
|plished through health regulations
based on a statute Of Congress-"
the report declared.
1t was pointed out that outside
|milk-or that produced on farms
not inspected by District inspec-
|tors-had moved into the District
for about eight years before last
October. Yet the local health Of
|ficer, the report said, testified,
as to epidemics caused by milk,
that we have had nothing trace
able to milk during the past, %
years."
Milk consumption here, it was
said, is only half a pint day per
capita, as compared with six
tenths Of pint per day Of beer.
wine and liquor.
Health authorities recommend
consumption of a quart Of Auid
milk per day for children and at
least pint a day for adults" the
report points out.
Since the closing Of the hear
lings," the report continued, "tha
District Commissioners have pro-
Inhibited the importation of outside
milk and the Maryland and vir-
Iginia Milk Producers Association
now have almost complete con-
ltrol Of the milk moving into the

Even the outside milk that is
needed for the armed services in
the District and in the areas i'm
mediately surrounding the Dis
trict is now supplied by this CO.
Operative" The report said the
temperatures members produce
80 per cent of the milk used in
the Washington Metropolitan
Area"
The committee reported further
that testimony indicated the Vir-
ginia State Milk Commission is
mot conducted for the benefit
Of the milk consumer"
"The membership Of the COM
mission consists of one milk pro-
ducer, Ollie milk distributor and a
third person who is supposed to
represent the consumer" it said.
Apparently there is no economie
staff to evaluate evidence"

Un(iyiIized Declares President

KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 15-tA- President Truman today condemned the murder of American prisoners by Chinese Communists as the most uncivilized thing that has happened in the last century.
 MT. Truman voiced this indict- ment at a winter White House news conference in which he declar- ed his views that the United Na- tions rather than "big four" confer ences should settle international disputes.
 The President declared that he has not been told officially of re- ports of charges of the murder of 5,4o0 or more American prisoners but he added it's horrible thing.
 ss,,a facts have reached him offic- ially yet, he continued, but if true. it is the most uncivilized thing that has happened in the last cen- tury.
 But he replied with firm no comment to question whether this brought closer the day when we might use the atmoic bomb in Korea.

OUTRAGE-ANGER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15-tH-Re- ports that the Communists have murdered $500 U. s. prisoners in Korea sent wave of outrage and anger through the United States today, and brought call from a Congress member for loosing of atomic weapons against the Reds.
 At the same time, 1t was plain in Washington that the Defense and State Departments were start led by the release of the report in the war theatre and were, in effect, caught off balance and unprepared.
 Rep. Cole tR-NY) called for use of the A-bomb if the reports were true. Coles statement was in conn., inent to reporters.
 Another member of Congress, Rep. Shafer tR-Mict), telegraphed the Defense Department demanding a fortnight explanation" of why there had been no prior release of such information. The fieures, as released by Hanley. went back to 195O.

North Pacific Fish Treaty
 Submitted

TOKYO, Nov. 15-tR-The Japan csc draft of proposed three-na- tion North Pacific fisheries treaty was submitted to American and Canadian delegates today.
 It reportedly follows closely those presented earlier by U. s. represen- tatives.
 The Japanese plan calls for es- tablishment of an international North Pacific fisheries commissicr to investigate fishery resources and recommend joint measures for the maintenance of maximum produc- tivity.
 Japan, which depends on it's fish, ing industry to help feed its 84,- 0O0.000 people, asks that no country be subjected to discriminatory ex- clusion' from exploitation of high seas fishery resources. =
 However, it agrees to refrain from fishing in areas where it clearly is established that maximum fishing already is being carried on and where it is necessary to restrict fishing to maintain or increase pro- ductivity.
 In a statement Japanese dele gates declared that the fishing in- dustry is basic factor in the es- tablishmer. cf self-sustaining ec- onomy" e3G controls the very fate of Jap.n."

North Pole To Have Pole Now
By Associated Press

"The pole" part of the North Pole may have been a misnomer up to this time but something IS going to be done about it come Dec. 10.
 And if Santa Claus really does make his home there he's going to get such flood of letters on that day he'll need private secre- tary until next Christmas.
 All of which is way of say ing that plans generated by Stan Carson, Point Barrow oil-worker and ex-dishwasher, have come to fruition. With the aide of an air line, newspaper woman and var ious other persons and organiza- tiOns, that is. And without the help os the U. s. Air Force which wouldn't have any part of the stunt.
 Carson suggested some time back that real pole ought to be drop ped at the North Pole. He even chipped in $50 of his money to have a 9-foot, hollow steel cylinder con- structed and painted like candy cane Cor barber pole, if your inclin- ations are a little less romantic)

 Now Enroufe fo N. Y.

SEATTLE, Nov. 15-R-General Douglas Macarthur, still the center of a civic storm that rocked po- litical circles of the Pacific north west, left today erroute to his home in New York. He will stop off two hours in Portland.
 He carried with him the memory of a sea of faces lined for miles along the cold, blustery, wet route he followed for the 40 hours he visited Seattle, Tacoma and way points. But with him also went the bitter words of Democratic party bigwigs who objected to his anti administration -sneech here Tnes= day night.
 He gave recognition ir. remarks made 2. , banquet late iast night to the v rm he had created.
 "TT:fr Jeanie from Murfrees- boro,t' he said in obvious reference to his wife, tells me I have all ready said too much and if I don't say anything and shut up they will like you lot" With that and a few other humorous ref erences to the storm he ceased talking.
 Earlier, in Tacoma and Puyallup southwest of Seattle, he told his audiences he had not talked politics in his speech opening Seattle's cen- tennial celebration, just American- ism" But along the parade line some boos and catcalls were heard mixed with the applause.
 Rep. Hugh Mitchell (D-Wash) in a speech before the Young Mems Democratic Club, said the General was a man with "tarnished brass and tattered braid" who used oul centennial as a forum of personal spite and attempted political re- venge.

Bez Protesting Selling by Govt. Of (annery Ship

SEATTLE, Nov. IS = iR = Ar Alaska salmon packer, who onct took President Truman fishing. ha; protested to the president against selling the governments $5 million cannery motorship. He expressed fear the Russians may buy it.
 Nick Beg, wealthy industrialist and one-tifne operator of the ves- .sel, the Pacific Explorer. said he was in no way interested in purchas- ing the 410-foot craft.
 But, he teIegrapled the presi- dent, he was protesting "as an American citizen" who regards the vessel as vita. American de- fense weapon"
 The Maritime Administration has offered the ship for sale. It now is in mothballs near Astoria, Ore. where it was tied up after Beg op- erated it for seven months and the government for another IS months after the close of World War II.
 You recall, I am sure, how Soviet agents once made unsuc- cessful attempts to obtain plans of this vessel" Beg telegraphed the president. "Sale now may permit Soviet acquisition of plans they have been trying to obtain since 1945."
 Beg told newspapermen the Rus sians sent three men to his office before the ship was completed, and several times tried to obtain the plans through trickery and subter- fuge.
 Now, he said, sale of the ship to a private purchaser might make the ship plans available to the Russians
 He did not explain why he con- sidered the vessel vital to the na- tion's defense, or to the Russians, beyond mentioning that the Rus sian agents told him they wanted the plans so they could build 20 such craft for $10O million.
 Beg once accompanied President Truman on fishing trip with former Washington Gov. Mon c Wallgren, longtime crony of the president.

A young bull buffalo, tilted by three cows he made trip with into Yukon Territory and pulled by his only male travelling companion, has evidently turned the nose on his shaggy head up at the lot of them and is slowly making his way back 70 his former home at Big Delta, Alaska.
 The five buffalo were gift of the Fish and Wildlife Service to the Game and Publicity department Of Yukon Territory and were wrestled into shipping cages at Big Delta by Urban c. Nelson, wildlife biolog- ist of Juneau, and others, for the long trip to north of Whitehorse.
 Them Kjar, director of the Y. T. department, wrote letters to Nelson and Clarence Rhode, FWS regional director, thanking them for the start of what Kjar hopes will some- Jay be a sizeable herd. In the let ters he said that the bison seemed to be doing fine, but told of a young bull being pushed out by the larger bull.
 At the last report" Kjar says
 the young bull has been seen in a valley in the vicinity of Clue Lake close to the Alaska highway near mile post 1036 We are just wond- ering if his intention is to head for home"
 Mile 1036 is 392 miles from Big Delta, the grounds of the corrals and home of the Alaska bison herd
