AAilk Forum Controls' By MALCOLM F.PLET JR. Farm Editor 'Build the Basin" sunk deeo in to Klamath home life last night. mulling the topic milk. Heavy audience response indi cated high interest in the subject, too, as a panel of experts ex plained the workings of the Oregon Milk Marketing Control Act, its functions and quotas, and bow it affects the consumers. . Why milk control? The Milk Marketing Administra tion's Field Supervisor Albin T. Nordqulst explained the milk law: It was conceived in 1933 wnen stores cut milk prices as low as nickel as a "come on" ior customers. Oregon taxpayers rea lized this was forcing the dairy man and the dairy distributors out of business and realised the in dustry- must be saved. Now the law, among other things, estab lishes minimum prices. PATTERN ' Oregon's law was copied after that of the state ot New York, Nordqulst said. Mrs. Dena Bockes. the consumer on the panel, suggested that "con trols may be all right to a certain extent, but It can be dangerous if we're not careful. "It follows," she said, ''that high degree of regulation means a pos sible higher price: We are all price conscious these days." - Bob Kent, secretary of the Klam ath Falls Creamery, noted that milk is the best food buy on the market today. He said that up to par with prices on other foods, milk would be selling for three and four cents more than It does at present. He added that milk companies- have the lowest net gain on investment of all Industries . . . one quarter of a cent per quart. QUOTAS Dairyman Wilbur Reiling. whose Poe Valley farm produces milk for Medo-Land Creamery's milk pool, explained the quota system under the milk marketing law. "It Insures," he said," a consul tant flow of milk to the distribu tor from the dairy, and subse quent steady supply to the consumer.- The same amount of milk is used almost every day by the public, and each dairyman has his share. If he doesn't make his quota, the Milk Marketing j Ad ministration (MMA) gives it to someone else. Sometimes a pro ducer must buy more cows to Landis Death Reported Here 1 Clinton Landis, former Klamalh Falls resident, died unexpectedly Monday while on a visit to Eugene. He and his wife moved to Oak ridge only a lew months ago! Landis was a painter by trade and had worked on many residences and buildings here. Survivors Include the widow, Mra. Marguerite Smith Landis; and two step-children, Oary Smith, who Is at Annapolis, and, Norma Jo Smith, San Francisco. Telephone Sill , No Zs41 maintain his production." Medo-Land Mgr. Walter (Bud) Franklin said paper milk contain ers have been in demand here for several years. Almost all large distribution areas have changed, he said, for one reason or another. Franklin said the sanitary aspect alone was enough to warrant such a change, in his opinion. Milk Bot tles, used over and over again, might possibly have carried bac teria, though precautions were taken against it. The paper, though, is entirely sanitary at least as long as local dairies are handling it. The ease of transportation and handling makes for efficiency. Franklin said. AREAS Ray Hobson, who produces Gold en Guernsey milk on the Retedale El Rason farm near Merrill ex plained that in Oregon distributors are licensed to serve an area. The Klamath area has two distributors. each with a milk pool and each with a quota to fulfill. " "Without the quota." he said, "there would be lots of dairymen and distributors facing .bankruptcy in short order." Field Supervisor Elmer Mead ows. American Guernsey Cattle Club, warned that dairy herds have been decreasing in population, while the human population Is on the increase. Last year was the first year the decrease had slowed until the herds were holding their own. He said production from each cow has about reached the maxi mum, but we'll need to Increase the cows If we expect to keep up with . Uie demand. Kent explained, In answer to a host of listener's questions, why an extra one cent per carton was added to the price of milk when the local industry converted from glass: The cost of a glass bottle per trio was a quarter ol a cent or a 10-cent bottle could be used 40 times. One paper carton, on the other hand, costs 1 7-10 cents each, making it necessary to increase prices by one cent lh order to break even despite other savings from uses of paper. GLASS, PAPER Mrs. Backes, who played the part of an inquiring consumer well, suggested a combination ot glass and paper, out tne aisiriouiors said that would be too expensive. One listener suggested that if only one of the two distributors had gone to paper the price would not have Increased, - Asked why Los' Angeles had lower milk prices thap Klamath Falls, nanel members reminded listeners that feeding costs In the California area were lower because there Is pasture most of the time. Here winter feeding, ' highly ex pensive must be carried on while the pastures are out, Pete Belcastro. a Weed dairy man, asked why. Klamath distribu tors could come in to nis area ana market milk, but he could not come to the Klamath area. He wanted to know if that were fair.

Declared Unworkable WASHINGTON Wl J President Truman asked Congress Tuesday for power to seise and operate the struck steel Industry, Before a hastily assembled Joint session of the Senate and House, Truman said the choice lay be tween federal seizure and use of the Taft-Hartley Act, . A Taft-Hartley Injunction against the strike of 660.000 United Steel workers, he said. "Is bv far the worst ol tne two approaches. Standing on the speaker's diss In the House chamber, Truman -BULLETIN- WASHINGTON UP) The Senate Tuesday vnted down two industry seizure plana within hoars after President Truman had asked Congress for power to seize and operate the struck steel mills. told the senators and representa tives that the Supreme Court had ruled against presidential seizure of the steel mills, but had said Con gress could vote to take private property. He said: "The issue Is squarely no to Congress." ' . Truman said ; a seizure law should: - . 1 Permit the government to change the wages and working conditions ot tne steel workers, ina government bad been prepared to raise steel wages under the presi dential seizure but was blocked by a court Injunction. ' 2. Provide for a metnod ol de termining Just compensaUon for the mill owners. Truman recom mended special boards within the framework of Uie economic sta- buizatlon program. A factor- xi the etrike was the failure of the steel Industry to ?et government assurances oi price Increases the industry deemed necessary to nav higher wages. "In this way." the President said of the two - side approach, "the legislation can assure continued steel production and fair treatment for both parties during government operation." . Truman condemned use of tha Taft - Hartley Act's injunctive pow ers as "unwise, unfair and quite possibly ineffective." He said the union had voluntarily postponed strike action for 99 davs as com pared with the Taft-Hartley, 80 day cooling-off period. Truman continued: -. "Its tTatt-Hartleyj effect would be to require the workers to con tinue working lor another long period without change In 1 their wuses and working conditions. "This would be-' grossly unfair. The Wage Stabilization Board, the responsibility in these matters, has found and the companies have admitted that the workers are entiUed to Improvements in wages and working conditions. . -. . "The result of using a Taft-Hartley type injunction in this dispute would be to take sides with the companies against the workers." If Congress should go against his judgment on Taft-Hartley. Truman urged that it vote powers for an immediate injunction, without waiting for the fact-finding report by a special board as now requires by that statute. Truman said Congress should act -with three objectives in mind: 1. "To secure essential steel pro- ducUon." 2. "To assure fair treatment to both parties . . . 3. "To encourage the parties to settle the differences through col leciive bargaining" EMBARGO WASHINGTON m The Gov ernment Tuesday cut off all ex ports of steel by dealersfor civil ian use abroad. , The embargo affects even steel shipments for which export li censes have been Issued, if the metal is destined for. consumer goods use. The action was taken by the Commerce Department.
