Decision Reached
In Tillamook Milk
Market Dispute
Tillamook - (DPI) - Clatsop
County Circuit Judge Avery
Combs has handed down a
lengthy decision in the three
way Tillamook milk market
ing dispute.
The dispute involved the
Tillamook County Creamery
association and Tilla m o o k
Fluid Milk Shippers associa
tion as defendants and the
Tillamook Cheese and Dairy
association as plaintiffs.
At issue was ownership of
distribution and processing fa
cilities, control o shipments
of about 100,000 pounds of
milk daily and responsibility
for paying costs of the opera
tion. Combs ruled the TCDA is
autonomous and can conduct
its grade A fluid milk busi
ness without interference
from the other two associa
tions. Not Holding Company
The court also found that
the creamery association is
not a holding company and
may not dictate the policies
and management of TCDA ex
cept where it is clearly spell
ed out in contracts; that the
creamery association is en
titled to sell the Grade A milk
produced by members of the
TCDA under a marketing
agreement of 1950, but that
it must make an accounting
of the proceeds from milk
sales and that the marketing
agreement does not give the
creamery association the right
to loan funds belonging to
TCDA, although it has the
right to negotiate such loans
with customers subject to ap
proval of the TCDA directors.

Kennedy Returns

today after a refreshing week
end of sun and sea at Hyan

Kennedy's schedule was

staff work, which
could range through a variety
of current issues including
the nuclear test ban treaty,
railroad labor negotiations,
and others.
The President and a host
of relatives, including his
own two children and their

Harriman Questioned on
Olause in Test Ian Treaty
Congressional
Leaders Look at
Answers Said
'Open and Frank'
Washington-OIPD - Congres
sional leaders today closely
questioned Undersecretary of
State W. Avercll Harriman
about the so-called "with
drawal clause" of the three
nation nuclear test ban treaty.
The clause provides that
any of the nations signing the
treaty the United States,
Britain and Russia may re
sume nuclear testing on three
months notice if they believe
their national security is at
stake.
The clause might come in
to play, for example, if France
or Red China developed a
significant nuclear capability.
Harriman, who initialed
the pact in Moscow for the
United States, met behind
closed doors with members of
three of the most powerful
committees of Congress to dis
cuss the treaty and answer
questions.
Others Invited
The Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee has jurisdic
tion over the treaty but in
vited members of. the Senate
Armed Services Committee
and the House-Senate Atomic
Energy Committee to attend,
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey
(D-Minn.) said Harriman also
was asked about reported op
position to the treaty by the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, but re
ferred the question to the mil
itary leaders themselves.
He said Harriman explain
ed that nuclear explosions for
peaceful purposes such as
excavations for dams or ca
nals were prohibited if there
was any danger that fallout
would contaminate the atmos
phere of another nation.
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield of Montana
said the committee members'
questions were "searching
and blunt" and Harriman's
answers were "open and
frank." He said Harriman as
surred the senators there
were "no gimmicks," nor any
"side agreements" included.
