USD A Asks Additional Import Controls on 4 Dairy Products The Dcp.i tment of Agiiculluic has asked the United Slates Tariff Commission for a finding that additional impoil controls are necessary for four daily pro ducts which at picscnt may be imported without icslnclion. The four are: ice cream, choco late crumb with a fat content of 5 5 per cent or less, animal feeds containing milk or milk deriva tives. and certain cheese con taining 0 5 per cent or less by weight of butterfat The Commission is currently making an investigation of these dairy products under the author ity of Section 22 of the Agucul tmal Adjustment Act, as amended The investigation was oidered by Piesident Nixon upon i ecommendation of Secretary Hardin. Section 22 directs the Secre tary of Agiicultuie to advise the President whenever he has rea son to believe that ai tides aie being imported, or are likely to be imported, in such quantities as to interfere with the price support program foi milk and butterfat. If the President agrees that there is reason for such belief, he causes an investigation by the Tariff Commission to be undertaken. Upon receiving the Commission’s report and recom mendations, the President must, by proclamation, establish or modify import quotas in such a manner as he determines to be necessary within the limit stated in the law. Speaking for the Department, A Richard DeFelice, Assistant Deputy Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service, declaied that the daily price support program is threatened by imports ofrthertour products concerned. He pointed out that, of the four, three weie new items which had never appeared in international commerce until after the last time that import controls were tightened “There continues to be a world dany surplus pressing for entry into the United States market,” Mr. DeFehce said “The prob lems we are encountering mirror the pull of an attractive market in the United States and the push of excessive supplies in the mam exporting countries The threat should be stopped before it gets out of control ”' Most dairy products are al ready controlled by import quotas. Because of the quotas, total dairy imports of 1969 were held to approximately 16 billion pounds, milk equivalent, an amount equal to 14 per cent of U.S. milk production This was the lowest level in four years.

The King of egg cooks, the World’s Omelet King, will come to Lancaster Tuesday, August 25 to demonstrate some of the hundreds of ways he has dis covered to make the omelet a tasty dish. He is Rudolph Stanish of New York City, Tokyo, London and other points around the world, a transplanted western Pennsylvania faim boy who grew up on a faim near West Newton, Pa, and who later earned a reputation as the World’s Omelet King Stanish will give two public demonstrations of his skills' year, at 718 million pounds, were fractionally higher. Mi. DcFelice presented de tailed evidence showing that the effect of the importation of the four products is that existing dairy import controls have been ciicumventcd. Such impoils Dairy Organization Sets Industry Ecology Study The Greater Pittsburgh Dairy Association recently announced an in-depth study of ecological problems affecting the milk industry and its customers C. J. Milroth, executive secie tary of the association repre senting some 50 major dairies and ice cream companies in Pennsylvania Area 11, said there is mounting concern among dairymen over prob lems of the environment. Area II in the state’s milk industry embraces all of Allegheny County and portions of adja cent counties. All phases of the industry will be covered in the study. Milroth said, in an effort to find corrective measures and new operating techniques which may be useful in the mounting battle against air and water pollutants. The dairy industry also is vitally concerned in the icle pesticides play in creating an ecological imbalance, primarily in relation to the use of such chemical compounds in fodder or grain fed dairy herds, Mil roth said. Dairy product packaging, now more than 70 per cent paper or plastic, is another area the study will probe in the search of ways to find a solu tion for the satisfactory disposal of the discarded cartons. Milroth said the study will seek the views of experts in all areas dealing directly and in directly with the dairy industry. These will include manufactur ers of trucks, plant equipment and packaging materials, as well as oil companies and then refineries. County officials and local or ganizations will be consulted in order to bring the results of their research into the dairy study. Dairies represented by the association in 1969 reported sl2s .million in gross sales rea lized on the delivery of milk and related products to homes and stores Almost 100 million gallons of milk was processed and'delivered to three million customers in addition to ice cream, cheese and other dairy products. with the omelet, one when he tv 5 - - first arrives at Lancaster Air- *, port and another later at the | Hilton Inn in Lancaster Inter- f ested persons have been invited < to see Stanish ' Stamsh will be honoied at a * buffet suppei in the grand ball- - room of the new Hilton Inn in ' Lancaster beginning at 630 ’► p m on the 25th Some 150 or moie Lancaster poultrymen, * state poultry leaders, poultiy r puncesses, home economists ) and Pennsylvania agricultural leaders are planning to attend, including Pennsylvania Secre tary of Agriculture Leland H Bull and State Senator C P Manbeck of Lebanon County.- Stanish is the chef for the private kitchens of one of New Rudolph Stanish fork’s'S \ leading . .investment . : * j World Omelot King mean a corresponding displace menl of domestically produced milk fiom comnu-icinl channels and thus conesponding addi tional purchases of dany pio ducts by the Commodity Ciedil Coipoiation.
