University of Delaware
The Perishable Agricultural
Commodities Act, which has
been in effect since 1890, pro-
tects growers from unfair and
fraudulent practices.
The Act supplies to all brok-
ers who handle fresh or frozen
fruits and vegetables in inter-
state commerce. The only ex-
ceptions are those who raise
the commodity they handle and
those who buy in small guam
titles to sell at retail only.
Everyone who falls under the
jurisdiction of the Actmust have
license issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
The Perishable Agricultural
Commodities Act makes it un-
lawful for the broker to ~ use
unfair or deceptive practices in
connection with weighing, coun-
ting or determining quantity;
(2) reject or fail to deliver in
accordance with the terms of
the contract without reasonable
cost; (3) discard or destroy
perishable commodity without
cause; (4) make any false or
misleading statements in con-
nection with any transactions
having to do with agricultural
commodities; (5) misrepresent
by word, act, label, stencil, or
deed, the character quality,
quantity, size, condition, or ORR
gin or any perishable agricul-
ural commodities; 10y remove,
alter or tamper with the F Federal
or State certificates; ~ change
without consent the contents of
a load or lot that has been
officially inspected.
BY violating any of these
conditions, broker is liable
by law to the person injured
to the full amount of damage.
Any grocer who believes that
the Act has been violated may
file a complaint with the De-
partment of Agriculture. If it
is determined that there has
been a violation, an order is
issued directing the violator to
pay the amount of damage to
the injured party. If he does
not pay or file an appeal with
the Federal District Court
within 30 days, his license is
suspended until it is paid. The
Act also authorizes disciplinary
proceedings by the Secretary of
Agriculture against violators.
The Secretary is authorized
to employ licensed inspectors
to perform the tasks of inspec :
ting all perishable commodities
for interstate shipment.

Agriculmre's basic problem
In plainest terms is over-pro-
duction, according to Secretary
of Agriculture Orville L. Free
man.
Speaking at a conference of
business leaders meeting in
California, he said, 'Our agrt-
cultural plant, for variety of
reason, including an astounding
surge in farm technology, is
turning out more than we can
possibly absorb, now or in the
foreseeable future, domestical-
ly, and for export. The inev-
table consequence is a glutted
market for prime commodities,
depressed farm prices, and in
adequate return to the producer.
"The plain fact is that our
farmers each year have been
producing up TO eight percent
more than we have been able
to use or EXPORT. and they
have the ability to continue
this over-production as far a
head as we can see....
"In our free enterprise econ
omy, it is a fact of life that
continued excess supply drives
prices down below the cost OF
production. Every businessman
lives with this fact every day in
the operation of his business.
1t requires no more than the
exercise of common sense,
therefore, to perceive that the
remedy for the present situation
in agriculture is to adjust pro-
duction to demand. But it re-
quires a rather penetrating look
at the peculiarities of agricul-
mral economics to perceive
why this is easier said than
done.

 The la, 1T move was initiated by chairmarh |. s. Mike Monroney, of the Senate Aviation Subcom- mittee. He called Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg to his of flee for discussion of what Mon roney called jurisdictional strikes on the air carriers.
 The dispute, that has grounded Eastern since Saturday threatens to stop Pan American World Air ways and barely missed shutting down Trans World Airlines last week, is jurisdictional.

 Miss Lyon, who never took a real acting lesson in her life, is currently signed to seven-year contract that will springboard her from $225 a week to $78,000 a year and maybe much more.
 The movie moguls who picked Sue Lyon from nowhere are wiring ing their hands with joy.
 It cost them about $1.5 million to make Lolita the story of a middle-aged professors obsessed love for a nynphet. But they con- fident1y expect it will ring up $lo million or more at the box office.
