Milk Producers
In Area DENY
Two Groups Reply
To Indictments
Obtained by U. S.

The two big milk producer as
sociations which serve the
Washington and Baltimore mar
keting areas denied in court to-
day that they are guilty of anti
trust conspiracy charges by price
fixing.
The Government is prosecut-
ing indictments against the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro.
ducers Association, Inc, and the
Maryland Cooperative Milk Pro.
ducers. Inc, in the United States
District Court for the District
of Columbia.
Joseph j. Saunders, an attor-
ney in the antitrust division OF
the Justice Department, told
Judge Alexander Holtzoff that
the two associations conspired tc
fix the price of certain grades OF
milk sold to distributors who, in
turn, sold it to the Government
for use at Fort Meade.
Run by Same Man
Mr.. Saunders pointed out
that for a two-year period the
two producers associations were
run by the same manager,
Bruce B. Derrick. Further, the
attorney said, the conspiracy
was maintained through num-
Der of employees working stimuli
taneously for both associations.
He charged that the price
fixing and price-tampering prac-
tees" of the associations had the
inevitable effect of preventing
the flow of milk in interstate
commerce and the effect of re-
ducing competition in the bust
ness.
Former Solicitor General Philip
B. Perlman, counsel for the
Maryland Cooperative known
as the Baltimore group, and
William Hughes, attorney for
the MISUNDERSTANDING associa-
ton known as the Washington
group, denied charges contained
in the indictment obtained by
the Government.
Cites Purpose of Law
Mr.. Perlman commended that
the purpose of all legislation au-
thorizing the farmer co-opera-
tives is to assist them in such
1 things as price fixing. Thus, he
said, the defendants would not
be guilty of conspiracy even if
thev had fixed milk prices but
he denied that they had done so.
"The Government for the first
time" he said, lis trying to get
the courts to do what Congress
has refused 10 do"
"Of course" interjected Judge
Holtzoff with smile, there are
some courts nowadays that
amend acts of Congress"
The trial involves points of law
and is being conducted by Judge
HoltZoff without a jury.

Police AIerted to Spot
|Drug-Using Migrants
3 observations
Needed Here
Before Arrest

The entire police force today
was alerted to spot drug -using
Migrants in a new set-up aimed
at getting them off the streets.
Police Chief Robert v. Murray
issued a general order outlining
the new procedures. The order
made the search for vagrant-
addictS a city-wide job, with the
Morals Divisions narcotics squad
acting as the clearing house fer
information.
The order, drawn after a series
OF conferences with prosecutors.
carries out the vagrant-addict
section of the new District mar
cotics law. Affected are the adj
diets who don't fit into the COM
pulsory disqualification sections
of the new law. They are SUBJ
iect to jail sentences.
Police were told to look OFT
for addictS or those convicted of
narcotics offenses who have
no visible means of support and
wander about at late or unusual
hours in public places either
alone or in company with adj
diets or those convicted of mar
coticS violations.
Three Observations Needed
The prosecutors have told
police there have to be three OBJ
servations before the suspected
vagrant-addicts can be success
fully prosecuted.
Precinct captains were in
Istructed to set UP narcotic
vagrant files and notify the mar
cotics squad each time a sus-
pected vagrant-addict is OBJ.

When two observations of a
suspect are recorded at head,
Iquarters-even if the observa-
lions are made by police of
Iditterent precincts-the COM
manding officers Of the precincts
reporting the observations are
Uniformed so they can arrest the
suspect on the third observa-
ltion.
If a policeman spots a sus-
pected vagrant- addict and
IdoeSn t know whether there have
peen previous observations. he
lcan get the information from
Iheadquarters at any hour of the
DAY or night.
Observers Notified
When the arrest is made. the
arresting officer notifies the DO.
lice who made the other obser-
vations SO they can testify in
court.
If an addict or convicted vio-
lator is found by police in a
place where illicit drugs are
found or dispensed, he can be
arrested without any further
observation.
The arrested vagrant-addicts
have the right to be examined
by physicians to determine if
there is evidence of drug use. II
they are found not to be using
drugs and are not otherwise
chargeable under the new mar
cotics law. the corporation coun-
sells office is notified for possible
prosecution under the old vag-
rancy laws.
Commenting on the new or
der, Deputy Chief Clarence H.
Lutz of the Morals Division said.
Were not going to sweep the
streets, but we are going to make
1T right hard on any suspected
narcotic Migrants"

Fake the Emotion"
The Democrats and Republ-

with a smile.
"One is the party of reason

has heart and one has a brain.
How do you choose between that?
Each of us has a heart and a
brain. But each time you've got
to choose one. Which one do

"As a man ages, he probably
leans more and more one way
toward reason-arld then he has
to fake the emotion"
The surest things you know
are the things that come in
pairs" he said, expanding on
his theme. There's utopia
which means security-on the
one hand, and civilization
which is the wildneSs Of things,
the adventure-on the other.
This Government is that way.
There's a little leaning toward
the security and a little leaning
toward the gamble of clviliza-
ton.
Differences Are Few
1.-THE Republicans used to be
for security, the utopian or hui
name way. Now it's changed
around.

the Democrats are the party of
security now. You know-the

Alexandria Leaders Split
On Bridge Spans Width

Alexandria's city officials and
business leaders are split on the
issue of how hard to press for
a wide navigation clearance be-
tween piers of the proposed Jones
Point bridge.
D. c. Book, executive vice
president. Alexandria Chamber
Of Commerce, said both officials
and business leaders would like
to see a greater width than the
approximately $50 feet" limit
set in the bridge law, because of
their interest in developing Alex
andria's port facilities.
Mr.. Book said his group feels
strongly enough about the matter
to push for a greater width, even
If a delay is threatened by send
ing the bridge bill back to Con-
greSS for change.
City officials Opposed
But the city officials, he said,
are against risking a delay in
the bridge construction.
He explained the points of view
at a luncheon meeting of the
American Automobile AsSocia-
TONS district advisory board
committee on highways and
bridges, called to- discuss the
Jones Point problem.
S. B. Larsen, design chief for
the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads bridge branch, said the

imum width Of about ITO feet

DR.. Pullen said he would not

That should be left up to the
local school boards and county
commissioners" he said.
The State Teachers Associa.

devices being tried by county

He said the Hartford County
plan of using Federal Govern

course for high school students
has a bad psychological effect
on the teacher who makes only
$4,000 or So"
He also criticized the plan fol-
assigning unframed persons as
teachers aides in larger class
rooms.

to think that she's a teacher,

ANNAPOLIS. Dec. eff the
State government does not in
crease its appropriations for
teachers salaries in Maryland
next year. State School Supt.
Thomas G. Pullen, jr., predicts
the counties will have to do it
instead to compete with teach
ers' salaries in adjoining States.
DR.. Pullen made his remark
before the State Association of
County Commissioners. which
yesterday voted support for an
$500 increase in State teacher
pay minimums.
The association, however,
avoided any recommendation as
to how the estimated $22 million
needed to pay the new minimums
should be raised, although I'M
official sentiment seemed strong
for a raise in the State sales tax.
Or. Pullen told the approx
mately so officials from Is of
Maryland's % counties that the
State government now contrib
utes less than 40 per cent of
total education cost.
He. suggested this was out of
character with Maryland's tradi-
tional theory of joint State
county responsibility for public
education.
$500 to S5,4OO
DR.. Pullen and the State
Board of Education have re-
quested that the State teacher
minimums be increased in two
yearly steps to a new scale rang
ing from $500 to $5.400. ALI
% counties now supplement the
present scale-which begins at
$2,800-in varying amounts.
The State boards proposal would
mean an additional $500 per
teacher in State aid to Baltimore
