But he ruled the payments were
unauthorized and said they
should be recovered.
The challenged transaction oc
curred in the spring of 1954
when the government support
price on cheese dropped from 37-
to 34 cents a pound under dairy
price prop reductions ordered
by Agriculture Secretary Ezra
T. Benson.
Dealers Made Profit
Agriculture Department of
ficials said they feared dealers
would dump cheese on the mar
ket before the price drop took
effect. So, the officials said,
they bought 86,600,000 pounds
in April at 37 cents a pound and
resold it to the former owners
the following month at 34 cents.
Little, if any, of the cheese
left its storage warehouses, it
was said, and the dealers pick
ed up $2,000,000 profit in a "pa
per transaction."
True D. Morse, acting secre
tary of agriculture, said Camp
bell's finding was directly con
trary to the opinion of the Ag
riculture Department's consel.
Claims Money Saved
He said the department acted
"solely in the interest of Ameri
can farmers" and as part of its
overall price support moves aim
ed at bringing stability, to the
dairy industry.
He said the payment, as car-
