Extra Police Are Called In Milk Strike More Violence And Milk Dumping Are Reported In East NEW YORK <IB — Extra poljce were on duty in three* states today to prevent further violence in | the spreading milk strike, j Increased incidents of violence ■ and milk dumping were reported ! Tuesday in dairy areas of Upstate | New York, northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as farmers withheld milk from processing plants for the third day. The boycott, started Sunday by the 3-200-member Tri-State Master Dairy Farmers Guild to back de- : mands for higher raw milk prices, was partially effective in reducing the milk supply to 12 million consumers in the metropolitan New York area. ' Metropolitan processors reported some 950,000 quarts of milk. I or about 10 percent of their regu-* i lar supply, had been withheld in I the last two days by the striking farmers. This milk market administrator's office reported that milk had been partially or wholly withheld Tuesday from 26 processing plants l in New York state, 14 in New i Jersey and eight in Pennsylvania, • There are 381 such plants servi icing the metropolitan area. City officials, however said that i the stoppage "has no effect” on l fresh milk supplies. Some procesi sors diverted milk usually used i for cheese, milk and ice cream j to fill their fresh milk needs. The Rev. John W. Dorney, ex-, ecutive director of the guild, said ■ today about 10,000 farmers had joined the boycott. He said he | met Tuesday night with representatives of the 2,000-member Dairy Farmers of America in an effort to enlist their support. Dorney said the DFA and the guild could not agree on a price | for milk, but he said they would lend their sympathy to the guild, j He refused to say if they would j

join tlie boycott. • Dorney said the guild is seeking a price of $5.75 per hundredweight for raw milk. He said that price would guarantee farmers about 10 cents a quart, instead o( “just breaking even.” 15-Year-Old Boy Confesses Slaying Bludgeon-Slaying Admitted By Youth PATERSON, N.J. tUPI— A 15-year-old boy described as a “chronic truant" confessed Tuesday night to the bludgeon-slaying of a pretty secretary last November. police announced today.

Agriculture Dept. Opposes Measure Says Democratic Measure Is Costly WASHINGTON‘<UP)—The Agriculture Department said today a Democratic farm bill awaiting House action might force the goverment to pay farmers the equivalent of S 3 a bushel not to grow corn. , This is more than twice its value. . I The 1957 government - supported floor price for corn' is $1.36 a . bushel. The Democratic plan calls for payment at the rate of 90 cents a bushel. Department experts ■ claimed the real cost to taxpayers i might be much higher because . many farmers could collect payi ments without actually reducing i production. The department "analysis” of ■ the Democratic bill also contended ; that it might force the cost of the i government's "soil bank” program . to more than $2.1 billion a year. The present ceiling is $1.2 billion. The Democratic bill, approved . by a narrow partisan majority in ’ the House Agriculture Committee, . is awaiting clearance by the House ' Rules Committee. The measure raises the 1957 planting allotment for corn grown J in the 24-state “commercial” growing area from 37.3 million acres to 43.2 million acres. In addition, 1 it provides two supplemental soil bank programs under which grow--1 ers of other grains, chiefly in the South and West, would be paid for J; reducing surplus production. 1 Hie bill contains no cost limit ! on the first supplemental grain bank plan. It authorizes $250 mil- ' lion for the second. ; Costs under the no-ceiling section "could be as high as S7OO million,” the department analysis said. "For this vast expenditure, very little actual reduction of feed grain production would result.” One reason for this, department l experts said, is that in paying farmers to cut back production of such grains as barley and oats the , government would have to take the ■ farmers’ word on what they plant* ed in earlier years. Officials have found, the analysis said, that farmers will “overstate” their past plantings by 30 ■to 40 per cent. This means the government would, in effect, be paying the farmer not to plant acreage he never planted in the first place.
