at given retail price is much larger
in the period of short production than
In the period of flush output. Either
the market area must change or re-
tail prices must fluctuate, or some
provision must be made to take care
of the excess production over fluid
requirements during the flush sea-
son. The difficulties and disadvant-
ages of permitting the full measure
to fall on the fluid market are so
evident to producers that this pro-
cedure is never followed. Some form
of base-surplus or blended price plan
is employed and the seasonal excess
distributed generally over all the
producers for the market.
One of the most controversial sub
jects in milk control is the matter of
resale prices. If the control board of
Montana did not fix resale prices,
there would be nothing to prohibit
the milk distributor to seek lower
markets in adjoining states and bring
it into the state and sell it at any
price, although no milk is allowed to
be brought into the state unless it
complies with. the public health serv-
ice regulation. However, the posi-
bilities of dealers purchasing I'M
licensed milk at lower price than
they purchase from their own pro-
ducers would become evident. Then

might be able to purchase milk at a
lower price and sell it in Montana in
competition with Montana distribu-
tors, and producers would lose large
part of their production and eventu-
ally go out of business.
We have only to compare Spo-
kane milk markets which have no
form of state or federal control.
Milk was recently selling as low
as 80 cents per gallon. Markets
are demoralized, chaotic conditions
exist, and many producers and dis
tributors will eventually have to
discontinue their business. This
condition would never occur under
state control.
The Milk Control Board is a price
fixing agency and as such does not
check sanitation of dairies or test
dairy cows for T.B. Or Brucellosis
or other contagious diseases. This
work is done by the Livestock SAM
tary Board. Officials of the Livestock
Sanitary Board will tell you that I'M
less there are milk control laws, it
would be very difficult to enforce
some of their regulations, as the milk
producers would be unable to install
good equipment, build milking par
lors and other facilities to produce
grade A milk. This is one reason that
Montana has one of the best supplies
of milk obtainable.

milk control should and probably will
have in our economy in the years
ahead.
There are numerous reasons why
a strong case can be made for extern
sive public control over the fluid milk
business. The dangers to public
health from an unsanitary milk sup
ply makes health regulations neces-
sary. The important nutritional char

NOTORIOUS lib 10 CURTAILS
EFFECTIVENESS OF AGENCY

Ten years ago Montana had 545
diaries. Today, there are 1,115 pro-
ducers and "a distributing plants.
But, the Milk Control Board still has
the same personnel-the executive
secretary and one office secretary.
1t is impossible to do an efficient
job, and it is hoped that the legisla-
ture will provide sufficient funds so
that the board can hire an auditor
or an accountant to assist in the
duties of the office and that monthly
or quarterly reports can be sub
mitted to the industry as to the utili-
cation of milk sold.
The Milk Control Board has two
classes of milk under control. Glass
[ is all licensed milk bottled and sold
as fluid milk, and Glass II is licensed
milk separated for cream and sold
to the consumer. It would be a great
step forward if all milk used in ice
cream, cheese, etc., was licensed
milk.
The Milk Control Board is OPP
Grated on the license fees it collects
from the producers and distribu-
tors. Taxpayers do not pay one cent
toward the operation of the board
and consequently the Milk Control
Board should be taken out of House
Bill 10, and permitted to use the
funds it collects to maintain and
operate an efficient office.
The following appropriations and
collections show the increase in col
lections, especially the past few
years:

fly efforts to secure for consumers an
adequate and reasonably priced sup
ply. These are reasons enough for
public control, but there are, in addi-
ton, special characteristics of milk
markets which are important. The
pecularities OF the supply situation
in the fluid milk business are such
that even if no elements of monopoly
were found, they would furnish a
sound basis for regulation of the
milk business.

of five members: Dr. Hadleigh Marsh,
Helena, chairman; Marion l. Burke,
Lewistown, representing producer
distributors; Sylvester Schwalger, Bill
lings, representing producers; Merlin
Madsen, Missoula, representing dis
tributors, and L. L. Brown, Helena,

Each board member is appointed
by the Governor for term of four
years, one member appointed each
year.
DUTIES OF EXECUTIVE
SECRETARY
In addition to the general office
duties, it is necessary that Secretary
A. A. Klemme travel throughout the
state, to call on distributors and pro-
ducers, collect license fees, hold pub
lie hearings, make surveys on costs
of production and distribution, and
whenever time permits make con-
sumner surveys in the towns he hap
pens to be in, as to the number of
quarts of milk purchased daily, num-
Der in family, quality of milk and
service, and also ask for any sug-
gestions consumers may have that
might help the sale of milk.
CONTROL PREVENTS CHAOS
Experience of the Montana Milk
Control Board has Indicated that
consumption can be significantly in
creased. The records of the board
show that during the period July /,
1858 to July 1, 1854, consumption
over 100000 quarts over
the same period July 1, 1852 to July
1, 1853, better quality of milk Sc
cured, and a more prosperous and
stable dairy industry built up and
under sound system of
milk control than under free COM
petition. Orderliness in marketing
has brought about benefit to all par
ties concerned-produce distribu-
tors and consumers.
A distributors association is func-
tioning very satisfactorily through
out the state and is making every
effort to have a stabilized industry
and above all high quality of pure
and wholesome milk for the people
of Montana.

He Likes Those Lonq Drives

That was story-book finish to yesterdays
opening game between our Senators and the
New York Yankees. Even an inveterate golfer
like President Eisenhower could appreciate the
drama Of Mickey Vernons 10th-inning home
run over the right field wall-the blow that
broke up as tight and Thrilling contest as
Washingtons ball fans have seen for many
year.
AS If to make up for his apparent dis
interest in last years opener, the President
arrived early and stayed until the climactic
two-run homer by the leagues leading batter.
Then, while thousands Of jubilant home
team rooters in Griffith Stadium cheered, he
insisted on shaking hands with the smiling
Mickey as he trotted back to the dugout. It
was clearly spontaneous gesture of admira-
ton for fellow athlete who also hits a long
drive If there was bit Of partisanship
involved, that would be all right, too. Not to
take sides in baseball game is as unthinkable
as not caring about ones score in golf match.

The Commissioners have adopted a sem

Then both parties could-and should-make
an earnest attempt to close the gap and end the
1ntolerable impasse that is holding up traffic
relief improvements in this automobile plagued
area.
The controversy between the Highway De-
partment and the Planning Commission has
been going on so long that even the disputants
have indicated confusion at times as to some
of the issues. In fact, conditions have changed
SO much since adoption by the NCPC of it's So
called master plan for Washington that parts
of it are out of date. For example, abandon
ment of the Burke airport plan has neceSsitated
a change in the planning for highways and
bridges to serve the Virginia traffic. And
desirable park and parkway projects once con-
Sidered of major Importance are being re-

Better Than q Mere Worninq

Judging from all present appearances Sec
retary of State Dulles and Britains leaders
have come to good meeting of minds on how
best to deal with the Peiping Moscow Commu-
mist menace to Southeast Asia and the Western
Pacific. Equally encouraging, there is ample
reason to believe that the French government
is in full accord with the Anglo-Amercan ap-
proach to the problem
In his current conversations abroad-frst
in London and now in Paris-Mr. Dulles has
been described as anxious to have Britain and
France join with the United States in a stern
and formal warning, for delivery in advance of
the impending Geneva conference, against fur
ther Red aggression in Indo-C China and beyond.
Obviously, if that has been one of the basic OBJ
jectives of his trip he has failed to attain it,
but the Misunderstanding that it may rightly
be called that-seems to be quite insignificant
when measured against the results of his talks
with British Foreign Secretary Eden.
For those results, which apparently are
altogether satisfactory to the Laniel govern
ment in Paris, add up to a commitment to join
in organizing an Asiatic-Pacific defensive alli-
ance comparable to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization AS projected by Mr.. Dulles
with Mr. Eden's strong Endorsement and with
what promises to be unqualified French con-
currence-this proposed new alliance would be
set up, like NATO; within the framework of the
United Nations Charter. Although it could be
enlarged later on to include other powers, it
would embrace at the start the 10 countries
principally affected by the course of events in
that strategically crucial part of the world
namely, the United States Britain, France, New
Zealand, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand,
and Laos, Cambodia and Wet Nam, the three
Associated States Of Indo-C China
Up to the present, Thaiand is the only one
of the free Asiatic-Pacific countries that has
declared its readiness to join with the United
States in such a defensive organization against
the Communist threat But now that Britain,
with France almost certainly feeling the same
way, has declared itself in favor of the idea,
there is solid ground for the hope that the prof.
ect can be translated in due course from its cur
rent paper status into sound operating real
ity-a stout and we-armed alliance capable
of functioning as effectively in the Far East as
NATO functions in Europe.
Mr. Dulles is reported to be "very satisfied"
with all this. He has reason to be, and SO has
the free world at large.

BY techniques such as these. Senator
Mccarthy has seriously weakened the
State Department and our information

cripple the Army did not get quite so
far before they were exposed.
Under the Constitution. the Presi-

The Congress has shown itself unwill-

arbitrate conflicts of this nature except
upon the trial of contempt proceedings
after the damage has been done. Who
else but the President can protect the
