An Alexandria housewife was
found fatally shot yesterday

when he returned from work.
He was accompanied by a
trailer salesman. The two
babies were sleeping, he told
police.
Police quoted Mr.. Mackey as
saying his wife had appeared
in good spirits when he left

However, he said. she recently
had been mentally depressed

Milk Issue
Heurinq Due

The District Commissioners
are expected to order a public
hearing this week on the milk
controversy.
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin said a date for the
hearing may be set tomorrow In
the wake Of an opinion by Cor
poration Counsel Chester Gray
on milk regulation revisions
proposed by Chestnut Farms
Dairy.
Mr.. Gray ruled that the Sug-
gestions by Edgar N. Brawner
general manager chestnut
Farms (SealteSt Dairy are le-
gally acceptable. The propos-
ais cover technical revisions on
regulations dealing with milk
production and distribution in
the District.
The Commissioners yesterday
referred Mr.. Brawner'S propos-
ais to the District Health De-
partment for comment.
Sealtest recently began i'm
porting milk from Pennsylvania
farms for sale in Maryland,
These farms are not inspected
by District Health officials but
the milk meets United States

ards, which are less stringent
than the city requirements.
Sealtest, along with Thomp-
sons Dairy, has charged that
District regulations-set up I'M
der a 1925 milk act-are obSo-
lete and should be revised. The
two diaries have urged farmers
to market their milk directly to
them instead of through the
Maryland-Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers Association.
The 1925 act gave the Com
miSSioners the authority to
establish local milk regulations.
However, Mr.. Gray has said
that, under this statute, only
Congress has the power to
eliminate the requirement that
all milk sold in Washington
must come from District-in-
Spected farms.

Many of the potential drop
