BackerS of proposed bill just introduced in the Mary
land General Assembly are conducting an organized
campaign to establish milk commission with powers
to control retail milk prices in this State The alleged
reasons for such commission vague and varied,
but they all add up to thing Higher milk prices for
you! You have right to know about the dangers in
herent in such commission so that you take action
to protect your interests
The bill before the Legislature has been inspired by
certain minority interest groups who are out to profit
at your expense. BY eliminating the healthy benefits
OF free competition, this group of operators would
have things exactly they want them. Like the
people of every other state where milk commission
exists you would be required to pay established min
imum price for milk No matter how efficiently milk
professor might operate he could not pass the savings
to you in the form of lower milk prices simply be-
the comniSsion-eStabliShed controls would not
let him do so.
Take for example the situation in Virginia In Virginia,
state milk commission set up in the thirteS to
take of Temporary depression emergency. The
depression became history long ago but VirginianS
are still paying tribute to the Commission Authorities
mission, milk is costing consumers twentySeven and
half million dollars more per year than it would with
out controls.
Comparison of Virginia'S per capita milk conSump-
ton provides even stronger evidence against milk
commission In the latest period covered by Depart
ment of Agriculture figures fluid milk consumption in
Baltimore rose by 81 pounds per person. In 1856 alone
Baltimore families consumed almost 100 pounds more
fluid milk per person than families in Richmond Vr
glna prices in Virginia weren't fixed at high levels
you can be that families would use more fluid milk

cause it is not directly a school

He urged the principals to
encourage parent-teacher con-
ferences in which subtle and

be used to discourage parental
behavior which is detrimental
to the child. He said educators
should let parents appraise

Children are suffering from
the scramble for social status
in suburban areas, an educator
warned yesterday in Arlington
Speaking at a workshop fol
Arlington public school prin-
cipals, DR.. Harold Shane, dean
of the School of Education al
Indiana University, said some
Washington suburbs are in the
major leagues in the social
climbing race.
He said the pressures on chill
dren, especially in suburban
areas, are mounting. The
search for status" is often
transmitted to the youngsters,
he said.
In many cases, the parents
"unwlttingly or Willingly use
their children for tehir own
personal social advancement, -
DR.. Shane said. "One way to
get acquainted with the right
people is through the chill
dren," he said.
He said parents tend to put
too much emphasis on their
children being accepted" and
too often try to steer their
youngsters into too selective
groups.
He also criticized giving
children too much, too soon, -
a situation which he said often
develops through the parents
feeling they can display their
own position" by what they
are able to give the children.
He said he would like to

A large percentage of tran

Washington area has, tends to
compound social pressures, DR.,
Shane said. He said that in
the scramble for caste and
class status" person moving
from one area tries to seek
the next higher level" on the
social scale in his new COM
munity. He also said that the

playing in a real top league.
Some are extremely uneasy in
their quest for status and they
are not even realizing what's
biting them" he said.
All of this means the young
sterS are getting too much
parental pushing, he indicated.
He also said that too much
organizing, which is prevalent
in suburban areas, is not good
for the children.

TorrentiuI Rains
Flood Richmond:
Cars Are Tossed

RICHMOND, Va, Aug
(AP).-Floods from torrential
rains swept through Rich
mond's West End and North
Side areas today, tossing autos
about like match boxes, in
undating hundreds of homes
blocking roads and washing
out bridges.
There were no fatalities but
scores of minor injuries were
reported as the waters Swirled
up to six and seven feet deer
in some low spots. Several
persons narrowly escaped from
stalled cars, hood-deep in tur-
bulent waters, before the We
hicles were swished away.
Sections of U. S. 301 and $50
were blocked. A bridge across
River road, leading to exclu-
sive real estate developments
near the James River, was
washed out.
The Weather Bureau said a
thunderstorm moved over the
West End and just sat there
rather than moving on. The
heavy downpour finally moved
over to the Lakeside area.
Electrical power was knocked
out to $4,000 customers at one
time but later was restored to
all but about 1000.
One unofficial gauge re-
corded SIS inches of rain since
4 pm. yesterday. Oddly the

Mr.. Landrum said that the

But he continued:

ate passed.

Mr.. Hoffa complained that
the Senate bill. which the
House committee did not
change in this respect, would
encourage collision between an
employer and a racket union
by providing that an employer
could prevent picketing by one
union by contracting with an
other one.
Mr.. Hoffa complained, too,
that the Senate bill singled
out labor union officials who
steal from their unions but
not officers of corporations who
embezzle company funds. The
House committee bill did not
change this provision.
