urner Resigns'os Head
Of Virginia Milk Board
BY MARY LOU WERNER
Star STAFF Correspondent


RICHMOND. Va, May II
(SpeciaD. - The resignation of
chairman Mark Turner from
the Virginia State Milk Com
mission was announced today
by Gov. Stanley.
For Is years the Fairfax
County dairy farmer has repre-
scented producers on the three
member agency that controls
the milk industry in Virginia.
The Governor said he was
appointing A. Gordon Willis of
Culpeper to succeed Mr.. Turner
as a commission member. Mr..
Willis is a director and former
: president of the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Asso-
citation.
Virgil P. Randolph, jr., of
Gloucester County. the public
member Of the board was named
chairman by Gov. Stanley. who
announced that hereafter the
Craftsmanship will be rotated
among commission members.
Served Is Years
Mr.. Turner said he was re-
signing because he felt he had
served long enough. He operates
a 200-acre dairy farm at Forest
vile in Fairfax County and ships
milk to Chestnut Farms Dairy.
Although the job often has
been a thankleSS one-especially
in his own Northern Virginia,
where feeling sometimes has run
high against the commission s
price-f1xing powers. Mr.. Turner
said he has enjoyed serving on
the commission and considers
the Is years of service well
spent"
He defended the commissioner
role in stabilizing Virginia's milk
industry.
when I became a member in
1888. a chaotic condition existed
in the milk business" said Mr..
Turner. That was Just a few
years after the General Assem-
bly,, to remedy an ailtng milk
industry, passed legislation set
ting I'D the commission.
There was tremendous sur
plus of milk" he continued.
Farmers were going broke. In
Newport News, two quarts of
milk were selling for Is cents. !"
Price Controls Expanded
With creation of the commits
sion. producer and retail price
controls gradually were expanded
to IS areas of the State. Criti-
ciSm in the Northern Virginia
area has been directed princi-
pally at retail controls because
they have resulted in higher
prices in Virginia than in the
District.
Mr.. Turner agreed this situa-
ton was hard to explain to con-
sumers in the Washington area.
But he likened the milk indus
try to public utility, and said
the commission tried to fix prices
to bring a fair return to pro-
ducers and distributors. He said
the commission attempts to keep
prices as low as possible because
it was felt lower prices result in
greater sales.
Without controls. we'd have
another price war and the con-
sumer would suffer in the long
run" he warned.
Mr.. Turner said producers all
over the country are in a squeeze
right now because their income

his several recommendations, the most
important one by far was that .

Supreme Court Needs HeIp

The proposal by the Montana Judges Legislative Commit

Supreme Court Justices is most timely
Reference is frequently made to how far behind the court
making final determinations appeals from lower court
decisions 1t is also pointed that in other states do
begin to have the backlog of unsettled currently
pagung this states high What isn't pointed is that
other there legal personnel available
expedite the judicial research to writing opinions
For example, in Oklahoma, state having similar
court load to Montana there nine justices
and ten assistants in addition to 3udge intermediary appel
late which handles practically all criminal appeals Mon
court between District and Supreme Courts Montana has only
five judges wo between them have available the services of
only legal secretaries
Even without judges participating in political campaigns
for reelection election to other post the Montana
court is way over-burdened with work.
The judges legislative committee proposal that such assist
ants if authorized by the legislature receive SALARY
$4,000 year, is realistic. By comparison there's hardly
union printer other skilled union craftsman Montana
who isn't making $4,000 year.
Such asssanceshps should not represent merely post

The court already has too much work hands have
search attorneys preliminary their becoming useful
haoeys Such assistants must be experienced baster

they must be offered salaries attractive enough for them to

MP Declares Extra Dividend,
Seeks Even Higher Profits

Northern Pacific Railway, which
along with other Glass rails of the
nation and of the state are seeking
IS per cent interstate and intra-
state rate hikes, has declared an
extra dividend of 10 cents a share
payable January 25.
The extra dividend of 10 cents was
voted by the board of directors of
MP last week. In addition the direc-
tors approved paying of regular
quarterly dividend of As cents at
the same time.

doubt be greeted with joy by already
