Heights Chief.
Under Fire

District Heights town COM
missioners last night were asked
to reconsider their July de-
cision to establish the position Of
a full-time police chief.
At a lively session Of the Dis
trict Heights Citizens for Better
Government which packed a fire.
house meeting room, the group
asked for further study by the
commissioners of the need for a
full-time chief.
The commissioners on July /
appointed Mai. Harry F. Volk-
man. a former Marine, to the
chiefs post at total of $4,000 a
year. The chiefs base pay is
$500. He receives an additional
$500 as streetmaintenance super
visor, administrative assistant to
the mayor and for other duties.
The town also has eight part
time policemen who receive SAL
aries of SIS to $25 q month.
They work on enight a week
and one week end a month.
Four of the towns former
Commissioners, John Lyman,
James Brashears, j. William
Mcnamara and Joseph p. Koh-
Ter, questioned the need for a
full-time police officer. They
said Maj. Volkman was selected
for the post without adequate
notice 70 rothers to apply for
the ojb.
Many Of those attending the
session contended Maj. Volk-
mans salary is extravagant.
They said the town needs money
to construct a community build
ing provided for in a 100000
bond issue authorized by the
General Assembly.
Mai. Volkman at one point in
the meeting was shouted OF the
rostrum. He returned later,
however, to explain the prob
lem which he faces.
The citizens group failed to
adopt q resolution which would
ask the Town Commissioners to
appoint a citizens committee to
investigate the need for q full
time police chief.

Milk Hearing
Follows Pattern

NORFOLK, Va, July % (R.-
Another public hearing Of the
State Milk Commission has re-
suited in the same old story
consumers want price controls
abolished. while distributors and
producers favor their continua-
ton.
The distributors and producers
badly outnumbered the con-
sumers here yesterday at the
fourth hearing of a Statewide
series Of six brought about by a
ruling of the State Supreme
Court.
The high court, acting on an
appeal brought by Safeway
Stores ruled the commission
must set both maximum and
minimum milk prices and cannot
diferentiate between prices for
the same grade Of milk.
In the past the commission
had set only minimum prices
and had allowed different prices
in some markets for store-so!d
and home-delivered milk.
Testimony here yesterday
was much the same as at two
previous hearings at Alexandria
land Richmond. In a hearing at
ILuray the commission heard
generally favorable comment
about price controls from all
lscourceS.
Two More Hearings
Two more hearings remain at
IDanville and Roanoke before
lthe commission announces new
price schedules for all markets
In the State. There is also the
possibility the commission may
decide to withdraw certain con.
trolls from some areas as it ha.
