Price Underwriting
On Milk Chorqed

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 20 tSpe-
ciaD The House Judiciary
Committee yesterday heard St.
Marys County dairymen charge
that a Washington dairy was
underselling them in an effort to
price them out of business.
Spokesman for the Leonard
town Dairy Co., said the Chest
nut Farms Dairy was shipping
milk into the county and selling
at prices lower than the local
dairy and below prices being
charged by Chestnut Farms in
the Washington area.
However, Morris Fox, repre-
senting Mayco, Inc, distributors
for Chestnut Farms, countered
that, on a recent bid to the
Patuxent Naval Air Station, the
Leonardtown dairy had underbid
Mayco.
The dispute arose as the COM
mittee held a hearing on a bill
to tighten the States fair trade
laws and prohibit a firm from
selling at lower prices in one area
than it does in another to destroy
competition.
The committee delayed a vote
on the bill, as members asked
for time to study it's conse-
quences. The measure was IN
PRODUCED by Frank A. Combs,
Democrat, of st. Marys to block
the alleged underselling in the
county of the big Washington
diaries.

Falls Church Told
Il Can't Shift Funds
To Purchase School

Falls Church officials have run
into a legal roadblock in efforts
to purchase the Oak Street
School from Fairfax County.
The school. within the city
limits. has been the subject of
negotiation for more than a
year. A S991,0 900 bond issue was
approved by city residents last
year which included 1927 900 for
the purchase. .,-,
Agreement has been reached
on sale price of $685. 900. Now
the city School Board is faced
with raising the additional $751;
600.
Fund Shift Barred
The City Council last night
heard from City Attorney Will
liam Baskin that transfer of any
major amount of funds from one
project to another within the
bond issue is illegal. He said he
had obtained a ruling from the
city's bond attorneys.
Council members voted to ask
the School Board for more in
| formation. Their action followed
reading of letter from the
Falls Church Citizens Associa-
ton.
The association asked the
council to investigate the School
Boards propose Enhancing of the
Oak Street School purchase. The
letter added that it was under

to take the major part of the
money from a 100000 item in
the bond issue for the Madison
School.
Sees Breach of Faith
Such a move would break
faith" with the voters, the asso-
citation said.
School Supt. Irwin H. Schmitt
said today the financing of the
purchase docs present a prob
lem" He said the School Board
has not made definite plans but
admitted the ruling by bond at
torneys was a setback.
1.-The board had felt It's esti-
mates in the bond issue were
just that. Board members
couldn't predict what the final
purchase price would be and
were hoping they could shift
funds within the bond issue to
accommodate any difference in
its estimates" Mr.. Schmitt said.
Plumbing Test Proposed
In other actions last night the
council:
Set hearing for April IL on
proposed change in the city
plumbing code requiring an ex-
animation of those applying for
