AND FINALLY, when I was adj
mitted to see Egypt's chief rabbi,
blind, old, pathetic Helm Nahoum,
a real spiritual leader. But this
time the something 1 felt at the pit
of my stomach stemmed from
sympathy and tenderness.
When Premier Fanfani's special
Convair was being readied to leave
Egypt, felt very strong tempta-
ton to take advantage of the op-
portunity to stay on a little longer.
But I heard a voice inside me say
ing: "Tullia, you are the mother of
two, you had better leave" And so
1 boarded the plane.

and couldn't help asking the United

problem which I discuss with him
from time to time.
Egyptian officials, particularly
those of the Information Office

pending freedom of religion, of

strange gait: his ankles seem to

l said to myself, "he is not as

The third time came during my
interview with the former Mufti of
Jerusalem, the man who led the
uprisings in the Middle East
against the British before and dur

determination of the Jews in the
Holy Land. At one time during

my questions, he looked me
straight in the eye and asked:

British Slayer
Ordered Hanged

LONDON, May 7 (AP)-
Home Secretary Richard A.
Butler yesterday rejected Ma
tion-wide appeals and ordered
that Ronald Marwood must
hang for the murder of q
policeman.
Marwood, a rs year old
cockney, stabbed Policeman
Raymond Summers in a dance
! hall brawl last December.
He sought mercy from Mr..
Butler-and through him from
the Queen-after an appeal
court turned down his request
| for a reprieve.
Marwood's case revived the
old argument in Britain over
whether a man should hang
for any crime. A revised homi-
eide act adopted in March,
1857, abolished the death
penalty for some types of muir
der but retained it for what is
called capital murder" includ-
ing the killing of a police
officer.

MILK

Continued From First Page
Hooper said. This loss is due to
importation from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Hooper bases this esti-
mate on the supposition that
Sealtest has been buying TO-
900 gallons of outside milk a
day.
Actually, Mr.. Hooper points
out. Chestnut Farms bought an
additional 1900 gallons OF fluid
milk a day in April over the
same month last year In all,
the coop sold about 1000 gall
Ions more of fluid milk daily
last month over the April 1853,
volume, he said.
The losses are based on adj
ditional income the farmers
could have received in March
and April had Sealtest been
buying all of its supplies from
the coop.
Price Down in April
The price the individual CO.
op farmer received for his raw
milk dropped last month by
about 20 cents a hundredweight
(46 quarts. Mr.. Hooper said.
Half of this was due to loss of
the Sealtest business and the
rest in a normal seasonal drop.
Mr.. Hooper said the coop
last month had produced some
10000 gallons of surplus milk
a day which it processed in its
own plant in Laurel. The milk
diverted to manufacturing uses
brings the farmer a lower price.
He said it is also a certainty
that the association will add a
Ascent premium to the mini
mum for quality milk. This
would bring the price up to
$5.e5 for as quarts when the
order goes into effect on July l..
(The Federal market order eS-
tablishes a price of S5.55 from
July through February and
$40 from March through
JuneO
When the milk fight started,
the co-op's price for fluid milk
was 1852. This price, Sealest
claimed, was abnormally high.
The dairy said it suffered COM
petitively with diaries buying
directly from farmers instead Of
through the coop. Once the
Federal order is in effect, all
fluid milk must be sold here
for at least the minimum price.
Will Pay Into Pool"
Diaries importing milk from
out-of-area milkSheds will have
to pay into a Federal pool" the
difference if they buy outside
supply at a cheaper rate than
the Federal price.
Transportation costs will
offset savings that can be
made by such outside purchas-
ing" Mr.. Hooper pointed out.
He said it probably will end i'm
portations from distant Penn
sylvania milkshedS where Seal
test is now getting some of its
supply for Maryland sales.
Sealtest has bitterly opposed
the 40 cent premium the
COOP intends to add to the
Federal order price. Mr.. Hooper
SAYS the milk dispute was
started to knock out the pre-
MUM.
THE premium is worth 81
800. 900 to the farmers Mr.
Hooper said. 1T would near
a savings to SealteSt alone OF
about 81 million a year."
He said the co op spent
$lI1.OOO for publicity in the
milk fight.
If we've saved the premiums
for our farmers then it was
certainly worth it." he said.
