Hopkins, Registered Optometrist la Charge Dairymen Demand Higher Price Here (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) more than 25 cents a hundred to help make up the 60 cent increase which the dairymen will charge. I In the retail market there will be this situation under OPA con trol: , S.S milk . . .MS cents s quart t per cent milk . . 15e quart Many producer-distributors ca tering to the raw milk demand do not have mixing machinery . and will not be able to control fat content accurately, but they will presumably continue present prac tice. The 15 cent price on 5 per cent mUk is the same as it has been since last March. Gordon Coleman, manager of Medoland, president of the Dis tributors Association said that his group had not yet reached any actual decision on cutting fat content or on reducing deliveries, but said they probably would be willing to cut fat content under OPA direction. As to further economies In de liveries., Mr. Colemen pointed out that Eugene haa already lead the way. it was one of the first cities in the United States to drop Sun day deliveries In October, 1941; In June, 1942 Eugene dairies eith er dropped all Wednesday and Sunday deliveries or went to de livery every other day. Mileage haa been cut some 40 per cent Other economy measures In clude a ticket and bottle system at stores which has reduced bot tle losses 73 per cent, tightening up of credit to stop credit losses, and considerable trading of cus tomers to, eliminate "tag ends" on routes. In some outlying dis tricts, remote customers have been dropped. Mr, Coleman pointed out that the average margin of distributors in the Eugene area is only .00172 cents on a quart of milk from which to absorb the increase In dairy price. "We recognise the Importance of keeping up health standards and keeping our dairymen in busi ness," said Mr. Coleman, "but it is not coins to be easy for US." , However, Dr. Stewart aald that if distributors . continue to show serious losses under the 90 cent price of the dairies, OPA will send its cost accountants into the field to make new studies for possible relief. In deciding to raise their price from 73 to 90 cents, - the Lane County Market Milk Producers decided to ignore the threat oi OPA men that the U. S. Depart ment of Justice might get after them for violating the Sherman anti-trust act. "We are a corporation and this Is-theactioh of our directors," they said. "We have a right to put a price on our product to cover increased costs. Actually on present supply prices we ought to ask $1 but 90 cents will let most of us hang on and we hope OPA will get around to putting some ceilings' on hay and grain and the things we have to buy. At any rate, there is not going to be any "strike" and we are going to go on supplying Eugene with good milk." The directors subscribing the price increase are Ray Hill, chair man, Earl McNutt, Ed .Johnson, L. J. GetcheU and W. F. Reed. American servicemen. Webb declared, "The Japanese have nothing to live for, so they are willing to die. Our men fight to live they are looking forward to life after the war, and are not looking for suicide. It's a healthy attitude." Japs In Papua Being 'Dissolved' By Allies MACARTHUR'S HEADQUAR. tips. Aiutralla.' Jan. 21. UB Japanese pockets of resistance in the Sanananaa area oi rapuan New Guinea are rapidly dissolving beneath savage blows of American and Australian troops, pressing ahead too fast to count the bodies of the fallen foe.

' . Enthusiastic miners by the thou sands trooped back to their Jobs in all major strike-closed collieries In what .one strike leader de scribed as "a courtesy to the presi dent" rather than an acceptance of defeat. Of the 24,000 who once partici pated in the revolt against United Mine Workers' leadership, barely 3,000 were known still to be idle as the crowds of ever-allied work ers rode down colliery shafts to their pits, many for the first time Ince Dee.
