California Judge
Halts Milk Order
San Francisco (U.PJ Presid
ing Superior Judge Milton D.
Sapiro said Saturday he has
granted a temporary restraining
order preventing. W. Rj- Jacob-
sen, director of the State Agri
culture department, from carry-
- ing out an order which would
affect the Fresno Milk marketing
area. . .
. The - restraining order was
sought by the California Retail
Grocers association to prevent
milk distributors from charging
retailers 40 cents for each milk
delivery no matter how large.
. The Association claimed that
the delivery charge was dis-
" criminatory against small retail
ers because the charge was the
same even if 1,000 quarts were
delivered. ''
r The action was brought in San
Francisco because it was neces
sary to' file it in a locality where
there was an office of the State
Attorney General. ; .
Sapiro said a hearing will be
) held jat the end of next week
on whether the restraining order
should be made a temporary
junction. ;
