Heaman Says Milk Limits Continue; 35 Join Society for Aid to Strikers

Milk rationing will continue indefinitely in all the University dining halls.

William A. Heaman, Manager of Dining Halls, said yesterday that although it is possible all milk servings will be cancelled, this does not seem likely at the present time.

Massachusetts Governor Horter's seizure of 13 milk companies under the Slichter Act late last night means the end of milk rationing at the University, and probably of the newly-formed SAMS.

Meanwhile, the newly-formed Society to Aid the Milk Strikers said yesterday that it has a total membership of 35. The group intends to seek immediate recognition from Robert B. Watson '37, Dean of Students.

The Society's Executive Committee, which met yesterday afternoon in Lowell House, announced they will ask Seymour E. Harris, professor of Economics, and Charles R. Cherington '35, professor of Government, to become faculty advisers of the group.

George B. Driesen '54, Acting Chairman of the organization, said yesterday, "Announcement in this morning's newspapers that H. P. Hood and Sons, which delivers more than half the University's milk supply, can double its milk supplies proves that the University is in league with the management of milk companies in an attempt to discredit the milk strikers."

The group is also considering a proposal made by several Business School students that the University refund part of the board charges.

Driesen said the organization intends to hold a forum seen. It will invite representatives from both management and labor to present the conflicting sides of the dispute.
