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

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.

there was a need for more dlstrl-

Truman asked Congress Tuesday
for power to seise and operate the

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

President Truman had asked

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"
