Senators 10 Question
Admiral on Red Files

The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee repeatedly plans
to question an admiral behind
closed doors within the next
few days, possibly tomorrow
about any wartime destruction
of Navy files on Communists.
This was learned today from
subcommittee sources who de-
clined to identify the officer, ex-
pected to be the first of a num-
Der of admirals called in an
investigation announced by
Chairman Jenner last week.
Senator Jenner, has quoted
Admiral Ernest j. King, war
time Chief of Naval Operations,
as saying the White House is
sued an order in 1914 for the
destruction of files on Com
munist activities compiled by a
naval intelligence unit in New
York.
Inc Senator said he recently
learned of this from a high
ranking officer on the wartime
staff of Admiral Chester Nimitz,
then commander of the Pacific
Fleet.
The statement was reported to
have been made by Admiral King
in conversation with Admiral
Nimitz. but both wartime COM
manders, now retired, said they
have no recollection of such a
conversation.
However, Senator Jenner said
his information had been COM
pletely verified"

Drop in Revenue
OF Dairy Farmers
In 1853 Reported

Dairy farmers who supply
Washington's milk have bumped
headlong into the economic law
of diminishing returns.
Homer Remsberg, president of
the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association. today
told members that production in
the Washington milkshed has
outstripped consumption and
that two courses lie before the
association.
Mr.. Remsberg said that while
farmers produced IL per cent
more milk in 1853 than during
the previous year. consumption
was up only slightly more than
one per cent.
SURPRISES Result.
He said this resulted in sur
pluses and a reduction to pro-
ducers of about 48 cents per hun
dred pounds for their milk.
There are two courses open to
the association. Mr.. Remsberg
said. "One is a program of cur
tailed production and the other
increased selling.
The first is a defeatist pro-
gram. while the second. which I
prefer, will require work and
imagination"
Mr.. Remsberg said there is
every reason to believe in the
future prosperity of Washington.
He said Washington should con-
tinue to grow for at least 30
years and since association men,
bers produce the highest quality
milk in the country there should
be little trouble selling to Wash
ington consumers.
SIS Million Increase.
He said sales made last year
by the association amounted to
$35. 100000. an increase of SIS
million over 1852. The increase
in production offset the lower
prices paid to producers.
The association is composed
OF 1000 dairy farmers in the
Washington area who sell about
80 per cent of the milk used in
Washington.
Mr.. Remsberg spoke at the an
nual meeting and luncheon at
the Hotel Statler. which was at
tended by more than 1900 mem
