Alexandria Federal Court
Judge Albert V. Bryan will hear
arguments Tuesday on a request
to stop Highs Dairy Products
: Corp. from selling milk in Vir-
ginia below a minimum price
set by the State Milk Commits
sion.
Virginia Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond yesterday pc
titioned the court for a tenn
'porary restraining order against
Highs. Judge Bryan declined to
issue the order Immediately be-
cause he said the firm should be
notified of the petition.
The dairy firm announced
yesterday that it was cutting the
price of a gallon of milk from
90 cents to "a cents. The firm
said its action was based on a
recent decision of the Virginia
Supreme Court.
Under the court order, the
Aailk commission must set both
maximum and minimum prices
instead of its previous custom of
setting only minimum prices.
Highs announced that its legal
counsel has interpreted the de-
cision as meaning there is no
fixed price on milk until this

Capitol Wing
Up to Senate

Long-delayed plans for extend
ing and remodeling the east
front of the Capitol Building
will go before the Senate Appro-
priations Committee next week
with the approval of the House.
The House late yesterday
passed the $66 million appropria-
tion bill tor the legislative
branch, including S. million to
start the east front improve
ment. The bill also authorizes
whatever additional money may
be needed later to complete the
job.
The Senate went on record in
favor of the east front extension
many years ago. but at that
time the bill failed to go through
both Houses.
The plans have a dual purpose
to make the Capitol Building
more attractive architectually
and to provide additional space
for committee rooms and res
taurant facilities.

It also helped me to decide
what I wanted to see on my
own.
On Your Own
With 10 days in the large
cities (Paris, Rome. London)
or three or four days in places
like Florence. Nice and Vienna,
the best way is to sightsee on
your own.
Armed with map and bro
chures, half the fun of get
ting the feel Of a new city is
riding the subways and buses,
asking directions and getting
lost. Why not?
In Italy. this last is likely
to be a delightful adventure.
Whether you are 16 or so,
you'll be enchanted by the So
licitude of the Italian-on-the-
street. The people who in
sist on going a half mile out
of their way to show you where
you took that wrong turn.
Italians being what they are,
Italy needs no chamber Of
commerce
SUBWAYS: The fastest and
cheapest way to get around
Paris is the metro" A second
class seat (advise first class at
rush hour costs less than a
dime.
The metro is q lot easier to
tackle than the New York sys-
tenn, but chances are. the first
time you'll need someone to
explain it to you in English.
TAXIS: As a third class
traveller ! rarely included taxis
on my sightseeing budget (ex-
cept at night, or getting to and
from railroad stations).
Taxi fares in Paris are about
the same as in New York. In
Rome they're cheaper. Here
you can whisk a mile or so
for about so cents.
But something to remember
after 9 pm. IN Rome and
after midnight in Paris, taxis
UP their fares (they double in
Paris. The driver isn't cheat
ing you when he asks more
than the meter reads.
WHEN TO TAKE SIDE
TRIPS: In spots like Paris,

they call side trips" Casting
either a half or full day..
Chalk-up London as one
place where the side trips are
as interesting as anything to
be seen in the city itself. II
London I've taken three Of
these side trips. Things like.
the country church at Stoke
Poges (where Gray wrote his
famous Elegy); Windsor Castle
or Stratford-on-Avon, which is
billed as the Shakespeare tour.
No matter how short your
stay in London (even two or
three days. the Shakespeare
junket is something not tc
miss.
With only a few days in
Paris you may have to choose
between a side trip to Chartres
Ito see the prize Of gothic
cathedrals) or the Palace at
Versailles.
Rome is q city where there's
so much to see, you wouldn't
be the first to skip the side
trips.

Even If you haven't b '1ira"
to spend, the outdoor market
in Venice. between 5 and Z
