My story above, I heard from my father hk”m (a close talmid of R’ Moshe z”l and mentioned in a Dibros) who heard it from his father and his uncle (first-cousins of R’ Moshe.) That uncle was the one who brought R’ Moshe his cholov Yisroel approximately once in 3 months.
The point is that despite his heter (which clearly states “b’shaas hadechak”) for his family, Yeshiva and klall Yisroel, he himself was moser nefesh not to be to’aim milchigs for his first 15 years in America (besides for the few days he had from his cousin) until cholov Yisroel farms opened here after 1945.
What Mesora123 stated is totaly untrue. The fact is Maran Reb Moshe z”l himself never ate chalav Stam ever. When he first arrived in America, with chalav Yisroel not being pre-packaged available, his cousin, Rav Hertzel Kantrowitz z”l, would go to a farm every 3 months, watch the milking and bring to R’ Moshe a container of chalav yisroel. This was the only that he would drink. For hid family and yeshiva was a different story. However, for himself, R’ Moshe would consistantly go for years for 3 months at a time without tasting milchigs. (Not that easy). Until after the war, with the influx of chasidim among the survivors, who made chalav Yisroel readily available.
