BERLIN, June 21. M Chancel
lor Adolf Hitler's Nazi administration
moved against Dr. Alfred Hugcnberg's
nationalist party today with a series
nf raids in which one man was killed,
and with orders dissolving the na
tionalist auxiliary organizations.
The fatality occurred at Frankfort-
on-the-Oder, where a man was shot
during a raid on the party hearquart-era.
Dr. Hugenberg, who recently re
turned from London after he had been
virtually repudiated by other German
delegates to the world economic con
ference, was remaining incommuni
cado. Some quarters asserted today'a
eventa would reault in hia resignation
from the cabinet, in which he is min
ister of economics and agriculture.
Fighting Units Banned
The government's dissolution order
wss directed against the nationalist
fighting units, which are comparable
to the Nazi storm troopers. In addi
tion the Bismarck Bund for youths ot
the nationalist party was suppressed.
The fighting units were reported
dissolved in Saxony, the free state of
Oldenburg, Wurttenibcrg, Eost Prus
sis and Prussia, including Berlin.
While it was officially empbaaized
that the action was not aimed at the
Steel Helmets, war veterana associa
tion, nevertheless special Nazi com
missioners were appointed at Aachen
and Cologne to reorganize the Steel
Helmet group.
uomnmniBia Again
Many arrests were made in connec
tion with the raida on the nationalist
flahtinr units.
Police issued a communique saying
that evidence had been produced from
various party of the Helen to the ef
fect that communists bad joined Dr,
Hngenberg's "Kampfstaffels."
This necessitated a gencrnl raid, It

MILK MEN URGED
TO STOP WRANGLE
Mounting Costs Make Price
Advance Imperative,
Says Mickle
Milk producers an! distributors
serving the city of Eugene snd the
Eaigene district will have to stop
warring; snd get together on a reas
onable program as to prices or they
will soon he In serious difficulties In
the opinion of J. D. Mickle, chief ot
the state division of foods and dairies
who was here Wednesday studying
the Lane county problem.
In the last few months, the short
age of feed for dairy stock has re
suited in a 60 per cent sdvsnce In
hay prices and 25 per cent advances
in grain feeds. It is generally esti
mated that average dairying costs
have gone up SO per cent but under
the present competitive -condition re
tall prlcca in some cases have actual
ly decreased.
Efforts to bring all producers ana
distributors Into an agreement on a
retail price of 0 cents a quart have
failed. The highest price now pre
vailing in the Eugene area Is 8 cents
nnd prices range from there on down
to as low as 5 cents on some of the
larger sales.
"It will be ruinous to the dairy In
dustry In this section if the present
cntlhroat situation Is not atopped,"
aald Mr, Mickle. "It will be damaging
to tho entire community If the best
doirymen are forced out of business
and that la what will result if tho sit
nation continues."
Stricter and more equitable en
forccment of the Eugene milk fnapee-
tion code is of vital importance in the
situation, saya Mr. Mickle. He says
that there are now many fnequalltlea
which do not seriously Impair the
quality of milk but add to the diffi
culties of ruthless competition.
At the present time thoro are about
100 dairies on the Eugene milk shed
which arc under inspection nnd selling
milk for domestic supply, eilher di
rectly to the consumer or through the
various distributing and pasteurizing
plants. All but a few of Ihe dairymen
have agreed to the new policy but
the few holding out have been able
to block tho plan.
