pared for submission today to

I'm my opinion, no emer.
gency exists and the company
at this time is not entitled to
any rate relief"
He cited q steady increase
since 1954-the last time the
company obtained higher rates
in the company's surplus and
dividend rate.
The utility's earnings per
share last year. he said, were
the second highest in the COM

Milk Coop Urges
SeaItest Plan Suit
Action by DC.
Asked to Halt
Fluid Imports
BY GILBERT GIAIBLE
star star Writer


The Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association today
will ask the District Commits
sioners to take court action to
halt Chestnut Farms (Sealtest)
Dairy from importing non-Dis-
trict inspected milk here for
distribution in nearby Mary
land.
William B. Hooper, general
manager Of the farmers CO.
operative, said the associations
attorneys will present their
arguments for legal action at q
meeting at the District Building
this afternoon.
It was also learned that Vir-
GINA milk inspection authors
ties have sought assurances
from the District health on
Gals that milk being sold in
Northern Virginia originating
from diaries here will continue
to be Of required health stand
ards.
These moves are connected
with Sealtest's recently inaugu-
rated policy Of buying milk
from farmers who pass Mary
lands less strict sanitation
regulations, processing that
milk at its Washington plant
and selling it in Maryland. The
dairy has told District officials
that none of the outside milk is
being sold here.
DR.. w. L. Bendix of Virginia's
Agriculture Department. which
supervises the State milk laws.
asked for official assurance that
none Of the milk now being
distributed in Virginia from
District diaries is below Dis
trict standards.
Same Milk
"We apparently have salts
fed him that nearby Virginia
consumers are receiving the
same milk that District resi-
dents are getting" said Will
liam H. Cary, jr., chief Of the
District Health Departments
food and engineering division.
The District should seek a
permanent Injunction against
the dairy's Maryland milk OPP
erations. Mr.. Hooper said. and
thereby get q final determine
ton Of the legality Of the move.
The dairy is relying upon a
1854 decision by the U. 8. Court
Of Appeals for the District of
Columbia which Sealtest on
cials say approves their current
procedure.
ThOmpson's Limits Plan
Last week Sealtest and
Thompson'S Dairy announced
they would seek revision of
Anticipated" District regula-
tons and at the same time
would attempt to buy more milk
directly from the farmer in
stead Of through his co-opera-
tive.
Thompson's, however. is SELL
ing only milk that has been
inspected and approved by the
District Health Department and
has not followed Sealtest with
a separate Maryland milk OPP
The Virginia Milk Commits
sion was asked yesterday to
end its price controls in nearby
Virginia. In a letter, Arlington
Delegate C. Harrison Mann, jr.,
suggested that the board per
nit the competition of the
place to set a fair re-
tail level"
The MISUNDERSTANDING CO.
ops board of directors were to
meet today to determine future
action the group might take in
the current dispute. Mr..
Hooper said he will recon-
mend to the board that the
association continue resistance
OF SealtestS attempts to buy
from the farmers directly.

Committee Plons
Annual Presidents
Boil Nov, 20

The Twin City Council Of Clubs
continue to shape up plans for its
second annual Presidents Ball. The
planning is being carefully and
slillfuny handled by a special
committee set up for that purpose.
Chairman of this committee is
Matthew Little, Vice President of
the Council Of Clubs.
Committee members are: Obie
Ripper ASSOCIATED Negro Credit
Union); Louise McDaniels (Educa-
ton Dept. MINI. Elks); Willard
Jones (Mpls. Socialites); Helen
Underwood Northern Light Bowl
ing League); Joseph Arlington
Twilight Social Club; Rosemary
Micheau (Silhoutte); Martin We'd
dington Twin City Reel & Trig-
ger Club; and Dorothy Brown
Queen Civic Club.
Tuesday, Sept. 29th the entire
committee met at the home of the
committee chairman to organize
itself and divide into sub-commit-
tees responsible to the many de-
tails involved in the promotion.
Working through the smaller
subcommittee groups, the entire
committee will assemble once a
week to review the overall plan
ming picture and make other as
signments as is necessary.
The eagerness and enthusiasm
demonstrated by the committee at
it's initial meeting proves all eff
forts will be concentrated in max
ing the End annual Presidents Ball
of the Twin Council of Clubs a
real stellar Twin City affair
The feeling was perhaps pretty
we'll summed up by a st. aul com,
mittee member who said: THE
Twin Cities no longer have bona
fide inter-city get together. Will
so many clubs of both cities rep
resented in the Council, we car
very well lay the ground work fol
such a yearly super-affair."
The Council likewise feels tina
one of the aims of the annua
Presidents Ball is to rekindle fel
lowship between the major organ
izations of the two cities. Howeve
for the information Of those un
familiar with this annual affair
or the Twin City Council of CluI

Moury Wills. Tan
Star, Helps Dodgers

Los Angeles - IT wasn't Johnny
Roseboro's home run that won the
first National League playoff
game that sent the Los Angeles
odgers into the World Series.
1t wasn't Charlie Meals triple
and double in the second post-sea-
son engagement between the Dod-
gers and ex-champion Milwaukee
Braves that made the Brooklyn
expatriates basebalrs 1859 Cinder-
ella team.
1t wasn't Felix Mantilla's Grant
throw that sent in Gil Hodges with
tally that meant thousands of
dollars to the West Coast team.
The player, suspect, who had
most to do with the Dodgers rise
from seventh place in the 1858
standings to meet the Chicago
White Sox for baseball supremacy
wasn't even on Los Angeles roster
when the season began. He was,
in fact, not at Vero Beach, Fla, in
spring training.
1t was Maury Wills who spent
the conditioning exercises with the
Detroit Tigers. Overstuffed with
infielders, Detroit never gave Wills
a genuine chance and before the
season opened returned his con-
tract to Spokane of the Pacific
Coast League.
There was no doubt about Wills
fielding skill. He also was noted
for his speed-he twice stole 81
bases in one season. But his bat
ting was something of a question
mark, although he had batted .312
for Spokane in 1858. That was
enough for the Tigers to take a
flyer on him and to purchase his
contract conditionally.
1t was a good thing-for the
Dodgers-that Detroit decided II
could not use Wills.
Wills did not prove much of a
hitter-until September. Around
Labor Day, he was batting only
.2o6. 1t looked like a plain case
Of good field, no hit"
But you could not prove that by
the San Francisco Giants. When
the Dodgers delivered the COUP de
grace to the Giants in the middle
Of September, Wills was the g1Iy
who contributed the real WALTON.
He was virtually a terror at the
plate, in one game going 5-for-5.
For the heated stretch, he bat
ted around 400. He continued to
field in accepted style. As a re.
suit, the Dodgers ended the MI
pennant race in a dead heat.
