CHARGES SOVIET Continued from page on> by the The authors said the bill would not control prices nor would it raise the cost of dairy products. But it guarantees that a big out-of - state supplier could not dump large quantities of excess products into Indiana to save a complete loss or to gain an unfair advantage in lining up sales outlets. “Actually, the bill will stimulate competition, not prevent it,” according to Ward K. Holm, executive director of IDPA. “It’s Just a matter of time until the dairy industry becomes monopolistic and would have to be controlled by law like a utility.” Milk Is Necessity ' Holm said dairy products are a necessity, not a luxury. He said 13 states now have some legislative control over the dairy industry, but Indiana does not. The board, composed of members appointed by the governor and the dairy industry, could inspect places where dairy products are made, handled and sold. It also could check production and expense reports when a question of violation of regulations arose.

Western Pro Stars Defeat East Stars DETROIT (UPI)—To rookie Elgin Baylor, the 1959 National Basketball Association All-Star game was “the biggest thrill of my life." To “old pro" Bob Pettit, it was once again a chance to show his class, on and off the court. Hie two stars had just been named co-wmners of the game’s Most Valuable Plgyer award, following the West’s 124-108 upset victory ever the East Friday night and the question arose, who should take home the cup 7 “Here, you take it,” Pettit said, handing over the trophy to Baylor in the dressing -room, “I’ve already got two. Enjoy it” This marked the first time in the nine-year history of the classic that two players shared the honor. League President Maurice Podoloff said he would have another trophy made for Pettit's showcase. But as far as the six-foot-nine St Louis Hawks forward was concerned, this was Baylor’s “night’.’ “When a guy plays forward. | center and guard all at the same, time, there’s not much else you j can ask him to do,” Pettit commented. “Baylor’s really a great ball player. It’s a pleasure "to play with him.” "Scores Crucial Point® Pettit, the league’s leading scorer. hit with two successive threepoint plays at a crucial stage in the final quarter to boost the West All - Stars to their third victory over the East in die nine games that have been played.
