For weeks butter has been declining in all markets over the nation. One reason is the government had purchased millions of pounds and placed it in storage where it remained so long that most of it had to be sold to soap companies at the low price of five cents a pound for the manufacture of soap. Last fall thousands of farmers reduced their dairy herds. Hundreds o f large dairy producers sold out their herds and e- quipment because they could not get help at current labor wages possible under government controlled milk and cream prices. While their herds were going to other fanners, few realized that older cows or animals not producing a profitable supply of milk went to slaughter. It was only last week thei Dayton Journal carried a story that there was a milk shortage in that city alone of 26,000 quarts a month. The demand for fluid milk no doubt has aided in reducing the cream supply. Manufacture of cheese, takes whole milk yet there are several kinds of chees.off the market because man­ ufacturers have had to drop these brands due to the low ceiling price placed by the OPA. Butter is an American product and the American people use ipore of it for spread and for cooking than any other nation The farmer and milk producer has the government on his neck Expensive regulations and dairy equipment has required a heavy investment. The government alone is responsible for the butter shortage. Give the milk producer a guaranteed cost-profit including ajU labor and there will be mote persons ready to make the investment for milk production- Labor unions have forced milk prices down to the farmer by continued wage increase in milk delivery. The “ Teamster official organ of the teamsters which controls the milk delivery i in cities, is now conducting a campaign to force distributors to 1deliver milk each day instead of every other day. • The organ is advocating a ijilOO •a week wage for milk drivers. . I f the New Deal grants this, the farmers will be the goat once more and forced to take still lower prices for his milk and cream. The Truman administration has already offered the automobile strikers lower living costs as part of the settlement of the strike It is time for the leaders in the Grange and Farm Bureau to take .a more definite stand for maintance. of cost o f production o:' farm products, something Roosevelt opposed and Truman has not insisted upon so far. Unless these organizations get busy the administration is to place the squeeze on the American dairy interests. .. ■§ Dr. B.

When my twin brother entered the service he designated me beneficiary of his insurance. After a hasty marriage he made, he in­ formed me and my parents he had not and had no intention of chang­ ing the beneficiary. After his death 1 was notified by the insurance de­ partment that ( was his beneficiary. His wife has made some sort of claim for the insurance and has held up settlement for 16 months. Can anyone but the insured change the beneficiary or can the insurance department decide who is to get it?—J. V . K., Palo Alto, Calif. A, No one can change the benefi­ ciary but the insured. If yOu are named the beneficiary in the policy, then you are entitled to the insur­ ance and the Veterans administra­ tion says the wife or no one else can hold it up 16 minutes. F ile your claim for the insurance with the Vet­ erans administration. Q. With reference to sale of gov- irnment surplus property and the ‘ ,500 amount sold td an Individual, I am much interested In further de­ tails on this matter and any infor­ mation relative to location of these surplus property boards will be much appreciated.—J, A.

Your nearest Small­ er War Plants Board is at Boise, Idaho, 210 Capital Securities Bldg, Your nearest department of com­ merce board Is at Denver, Region Nine, 1030 15th street. Suggest you write to these boards for further de­ tails. Q. I want to know If a man 27 years old, who has been in the navy almost two years and has two kids, the oldest four years and the baby, can’t walk, can get a discharge on this condition soon.—Wife, Coweta, Okla. A. No, the minimum number of navy points for enlisted personnel as of November 1 is 41 points. From your letter, your husband has only about 36 points, if he has had no overseas duty. Q- My husband is a seaman in the ttSvy. I have asked assistance of the Red Cross to pay my hospital bill for an operation. They said “ No" and recommended the Navy Relief, • wrote them stating conditions; ihelr answer was to J#uyme the money until I could work to pay It back, Wasn’t 1 entitled to medical care?—Mrs, E. D., Taylorvllle, N.C, A. The navy department says you were definitely entitled to medical care if you applied to the navy med­ ical dispensary before your op­ eration. Suggest you apply to the nearest medical dispensary and they will inform you os to your stat­ us. Q. 1 was discharged from the navy under honorable conditions, j The discharge reads, “ BuPers-Bu- .

This news is being broadcast in a dozen different ways and through preparing the way to reduce the cost different organizations. It is only o f living to organized labor before the next congressional elections. The New' Dealers feel there is little hope to win the farm vote and by reducing farm prices they can hold much of the dissatisfied labor vote to make living cheaper and at the same time give labor higher wages in factories where the unions dominate the labor market. The New Dealers are finding a lot of opposition to the Truman housing plan for returned veterans. . How many returned veterans do you know that can pay $10,000 for a home or rent a new homo of that value at $80 a month? That is Mr. Truman’s fin­ ancial proposal. Some Democratic congressmen have u different idea. They want $6,500 houses at $50 a month. Who is to build these houses when you can hardly buy nails now for general repair work ? The owner o f an apartment house out in LosAngcles, Calif., has figures showing that his forty apartments are loosing him $600 a month and he has asked for higher rent. The OPA de­ nied his request.
