Lef Any State Sell Grade A Milk Here, Murray Asks Senators Representative Murray, Republi can, of Wisconsin today urged be fore a Senate Agriculture sub committee legalization of the sale of -grade -A milk in Washington from any State in the union. He said milk is selling at from $2.80 to $3.00 per 100 pounds <46 quarts) in Wisconsin, but that the price in some places in the East is around $5. He also said that if powdered skim milk were used here, reconstituted into fluid milk, it could be sold on the basis of 6 to 7 cents a quart. Mr. Murray testified before the subcommittee headed by Senator Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa which is investigating the spread between the amount the farmer receives for his products and the amount the consumer pays. Another wit ness was Clinton H. Haskell, presi dent of the Beatrice Foods Co. of Chicago. Mr. Murray told the committee he had introduced a bill for the sale of milk here from all States, but that the District Committee of the House had not considered it because the committee was oc cupied with hearings on the bill “to get a 2-cent sales tax out of the poor people here.” He said the cry was raised that milk from other places than the Washington area would not be sanitary. “But.ihey find it sanitary in dry weather when milk is short here,” he said. Mr. Murray said that because of a Federal ruling milk can be shipped from Wisconsin only if it pays 50 to 60 cents 100 pounds brokerage. Veterans {Continued From First Page). approve the veterans’ applications for “certificates of eligibility.” At the University of Denver, student veterans were offered loans by the school, but about *10 of them left the campus yesterday because they “couldn't run the gamble” that their programs would be approved. Variation in Policy. At Minnesota, according to the report, VA officials are requiring veterans who never before were in GI training to “justify” that their education will lead to a vocation. This is contrary to VA policy as stated by top-level officials here. Two students at the university’s "general college” were turned down yesterday on the ground their training would not be “voca tional.” Another university graduate there, who wanted t* continue study toward a master’s degree, was told he could not qualify “because he could get a job with his bachelor’s degree,” Dr. Brown was told. Veterans affected by the new policy are those who failed to apply before September 12 to VA for the certificates making them1 eligible for training. VA, how ever, failed to announce the Sep-, tember 12 deadline until after it; had passed. While VA has had restrictions on “avocational ‘training'’ since July. 1948, the hew. regulation assumes that a vast number of other courses may be “avoca- j tional” to some veterans. Sees Spirit of Bill Changed. Dr. Brown said the new policies "completely change the whole spirit of the GI Bill.” “The VA administrative policy, which up to this point has been to encourage students to enroll in legitimate courses, is now impos ing an increasing number of hur dles,” he declared. Of primary interest to .edu cators, Dr. Brown said, is the fact that formerly a veteran who said he wanted to get a college degree was considered to have satisfied GI Bill requirements that he have an “objective” in his training. “This (new regulation) com pletely reverses the former policy that the naming of a degree was an objective,” he said. This issue—veterans’ “justifica tion of employment as a require ment for education and training” —will be taken up at a September 30 meeting between VA officials and the council’s Committee on Relationships of Higher Educa tion to the Federal Government, Dr. Brown said.

At tending will be representatives of about 10 universities, geographi cally distributed, national educa tional groups and the major vet erans’ organizations. Other ramifications of the new VA control policies also will come up at the discussion, however, in cluding their actual effects on students. Asked why the agency failed to notify veterans that all types of courses this fall would be subject to “avocational” examination. VA spokesmen said only that they continuously have urged veterans to apply for certificates of eligi bility early. Revision Discussed. Meanwhile, it was learned, VA officials are "talking about” some revisions in the new regulations, but no definite changes have been decided. One university official here said he has been assured student veterans who have obtained de grees and want to continue in post-graduate work “will have no difficulty,” although they would fall under terms of the new reg ulations. Still unknown, however, are the number of various interpretations being placed on the complicated regulations by officials in VA field offices throughout the country. Economic (Continued From First Paget. nonpolitical organization, estab lished in 183$, devoted to planning by Americans in agriculture, busi ness, labor and the professions.” In one of the reports, titled “Fiscal Policy in the Near Fu ture,” the economists deplored the $5,000,000,000 income tax cut put into effect last year by the Re publican-controlled 80th Congress. “Past decisions on taxes and commitments on expenditures have resulted in a current deficit in the cash budget,” the group said. “We regard those decisions as unfortunate, particularly the de cision in 1948 to reduce taxes; it would have been the course of sound policy to-have revenues ex ceeding or, at the least, equaling expenditures at the present level of business activity.” Opposed to Tax Increase. But the economists added that it would be unwise to increase taxes now. “Such action,” they said, “might be in itself unduly deflationary. There is a possibility that the step might soon have to be reversed 4o counter a business turndown.” Their statement on taxes came on the heels of a comment by Vice President Barkley that "a sub stantial reduction in taxes” might be made in the next year or two. Mr. Barkley, addressing a drug gists convention in New York yes terday said, however, that he is in no position to predict just when corporation and individual income taxes can be cut. One Great Merit Seen. The economists’ views on budget balancing were outlined in a re port entitled “Federal Expendi ture and Revenue Policy for Eco nomic Stability.” “The traditional goal of fiscal policy was to secure a balanced budget in every single year,” the report says. “But that objective; has now proved impracticable and besides has serious disadvantages in principle.” The economists said that while annual budget balancing is “both difficult in practice and unsound in principle,” it does have “one great merit.” They added: ‘It provides a yardstick by which legislators and the people can scrutinize each activity of govern ment, testing it both for efficiency of operation and for its worth whileness in terms of cost. * • • “If dropping the principle of annual budget balancing were to mean dropping all restraints to unwise and inefficient expendi ture, grave damage would be done to our economic and political systems.” Others Preparing Reports.

Steel <Continued From First Page). pearea very hopeful for a settle ment. Meanwhile, the steelworkers re ported that Standard Steel Works of Lewistown, Pa., had accepted the steel fact-finding board’s peace formula in full. Officials of Standard Steel, a subsidiary of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, could not be reached for com ment. A resolution adopted by the steelworkers’ 170-man Wage Pol icy Committee yesterday said the President’s letter asking the truce extension is a “full and complete vindication of the position taken by the union in accepting* the re port (of the fact finding board) as a basis for negotiating a prompt settlement of the dispute.” The strel strike originally was set for July 16 when steel com panies refused a union demand for a 30-cent package Increase which included more pay, a pen sion and insurance. Appointment of a fact-finding board delayed the strike 60 days. The second strike deadline—set for September 14—was averted when President Truman asked for and got.,a 10-day truce extension.
