retail pricefixing in Northern
Virginia was Incredible"
when it is realized that fully
95 per cent Of the people in the

Northern Virginia are opposed to
the continuation Of such con-
trolls the decision appears to be
a slap in the face to the will OF
the majority" said Mr.. Webb.
The commission last week by a
vote of two to one decided to
hold on to all controls in North

for a quart of milk is 22.5 cents,

RICHMOND, Aug. 29-With.
drawal of the Virginia State
Milk Commission from retail
price, fixing In the Northern
Virginia area would force
diaries into ''cutthroat COMPETE
ton which would be destructive
and demoralizing to the whole
industry" a majority Of the COM
mission declared today in a
statement explaining the recent
decision to hold on to all price
controls.
Chairman Mark Turner. the
producer representative on the
commission, and Clarence Flesh
man, who represents the dairy
industry. issued q five-page
statement telling why they voted
for retention Of all milk price
controls on the Alexandria Arl-
ington and Manassas markets.
The third commission member,
v. P. Randolph, jr.. who is
the public representative, voted
against retention of retail con-
trols on the two markets. He
recalled that a majority of those
who appeared at the July hear
ing in Alexandria urged the COM
mission to drop controls.
Differences Cited
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. freshman
said they realized the price sit
uation was different in Northern
Virginia from the rest Of the
State.
"This is true for several rea-
sons" they declared. But pri-
marily is occasioned by the fact
that Highs Dairy Product Corp.
buys its milk for delivery at its
plant in the City Of Washington.

this commission. at a price of
approximately IS cents or IA
cents per gallon cheaper than its
competitors have to pay" They
continued:
Most Of this milk comes from
outside the State Of Virginia. To
meet this competition Lucerne

Milk and Cream Act
The two commission members
said they considered these the
type of practices the General
Assembly had in mind when it
passed the Milk and Cream Act
to establish the milk commits
sion.
1T is therefore the consideyed
opinion of the majority Of the
commission. Commissioner Ran

the Milk and Cream Act. to
safeguard and protect for the
public the normal supply, flow

and for the economy Of the
Commonwealth to retain resale

til conditions might prove to the
contrary" they added.
Highs Stores started selling
milk this summer for "a cents
a gallon. To meet the COMPETE
ton, Safeway put a new brand
of milk on the market at 10
cents a quart. Several other
diaries followed suit. but planned
to drop the cheap milk this week

beginning Thursday. Diaries can
sell milk above the minimum
but not below It. The maximum
is 30.5 cents a quart. Highs
and Safeway asked the commits
sion to drop retail price controls
and retain control Of producer
prices only, allowing them to sell
milk as cheaply as possible.
