Freeman Pledges Probe
Of Milk ‘Juggling’ Charge
Secretary of Agriculture,

investigation ot alledged “jugg

federal orders after an impas-
sioned comment by a New Jer
sey Dairyman Tuesday at Har-
risburg,

of “Report and Review” meet
ings in the Zembo Mosque,
Secretary Freeman said, “tf
there is any monkey business
going on in a Federal Milk
Marketing Order area, I will
send somebody up to take a
look at it.”
The statement followed an
excited attack on the handling
ot milk in the South Jersey
area, and the allegation that
most ol the so-called milk sur
plus is on paper only.-
Callmg Federal Orders, “A
license for 'handlers to steal
the tanners’ milk” an uniden
tified dairyman said dealers
ship milk back and torch be
tween plants to create a "pa
per surplus” which results m
a lower Class I utilization per
centage and consequently a
lower blend price.
