would not go any higher. Grounds
for opposing this limiting provision
were that it would tie this market
in with midwest manufacturing
prices where conditions are not
similar.
Interstate requested DR.. G. w.
Pierce of the Pennsylvania State
University, chairman of the Phila-
delphia Glass / Price Committee,
to testify. DR.. Pierce said after a
three-month study his committee
had recommended several changes
in the formula which establishes
the Glass I price under Federal
Order 81 in Philadelphia and Fed
eral Order 10 in Wilmington.
The Glass 1 price formula is
based on five component indexes:
Glass 1 sales, dairy feed prices,
wholesale prices, midwest condens-
cry prices, and prices of farm pro-
ducts other than milk.
The present formula has been in
operation since April 1851 with only
two minor changes and has affect
ed change in the annual level of
the Glass 1 price ten times during
that period.
Thomas Waddell, executive vice
president of the Philadelphia Milk
Distributors Association, testify
ing on behalf of the dealers, sup
ported Inter-State's request for re-
vision of the formula. David Derr
of the Dairy Division and Joel Blum
of the Market Administrator Of
fee in Philadelphia testified for the
government.
One of Inter-State's points is that
raising the Federal Glass I price by
40 cents a hundredweight would
bring it closer to the Glass I price
set by the Pennsylvania Milk Con-
troll Commission and more in line
with Glass I prices in surrounding
areas. The present Pennsylvania
Glass I price is So cents above the
Federal price.
Revisions in the price formula
recommended by the Glass | Price
Committee were:
That the base period for each of
the five factors be- brought up to
date by using the years 1957-58.
That an up-to-date seasonal in
dex based on 1888 be used to
make adjustments in Glass / sales
and midwest condensery prices.
That the Glass / sales index be
based on average daily sales per
quarter ending with February, May,
August and November to avoid diff
ferences in the number of delivery
days.
That the definition of1Class / milk
used in the formula be revised to
largely eliminate sales not actually
made in the marketing area or ad-
jacent areas.
Members of the Glass I Price
Committee in addition to DR.. Pierce
are:
G. Max Beal, University of Mary
land; George E. Brandow, Penn
sylvania State University; Paul E.
Hand, Interstate Milk Producers
Cooperative; Robert HARRISON, III,
president of HARRISON Diaries; DR..
Honan, Russell H. Mack, Temple
University; w. E. Mcdaniel, Uni
versity of Delaware; Alvar J. Nix
