E E Portland, May 29. (JP) Pro ducers said an increase in milk prices might be ordered as a result of the Oregon milk con trol board's hearing on produc tion and distribution, which ended here yesterday. Spokesmen for producers said that if testimony favoring a re duction in cream prices was accepted, it would partly offset the probable milk increase, which was rumored around one cent per quart. A chain-store request for a differential in the price of milk bought on a cash-and-carry basis might leave store prices at their present level despite a raise, the spokesmen added. Portland Portland.
