A Maryland and Virginia Mill

Mr.. Hooper. general manager
of the Maryland and Virginia

the two dairies buy second-grade
surplus milk outside the Wash
ington market area, then sell II
here as first-grade milk. The
practices these two firms engage
in result in "disorderly market

Meanwhile. however. Chief
Judge Leonard P. Walsh placed
Municipal Court Judge Mary c,
Barlow on a standby basis for
anything requiring action by

acted before the Senate delay
cropped up, making it likely
that Judge Barlow will handle
cases slated for action tomorrow
and perhaps the rest of the
week.
Under the law. Judge Cockrill
is still technically the judge but
it was understood she has wound
up her work at Juvenile Court
and did not intend to return un-
less there is an emergency.
Juvenile Court judges serve
