CHADBOURN, May 2-The ia
miliar chant Of Hugh Nance,
a%uctioneer for the Chadbourn
Marketing company was resumed
this week as the 1947 strawberry
season got underway.
While a few quarts were sold
last week, auction sales were not
begun until last Saturday when
IS crates, ranging from $1,000
to $3.50 per crate, were sold.
Over a hundred crates were
brought in Monday with the num-
Der increasing daily since that
time.
Buyers representing all the ma.
jor produce firms are arriving
daily and are expected to be on
hand when the market hits its
stride Saturday.
c. L. Tate, manager said that
approximately 1 IA million straw
berry plants have been distributed
by the Chadbourn Marketing COM
pany during the past year but
that many Of those plants died
due to u~nfavorable weather con-
ditions and a lack of labor.
Nevertheless, Tate said that this
is a good indication that Chad
bourn is well on it's way toward
regaining the prestige as a straw
berry market that was sacrificed
due to labor shortages during the
war.
Informed sources are predicting
that Chadbourn will sell approx
mately fifty thousand crates this
season which is considerably more
than was produced last year

Catholic verein Protests
Continued U. 5. Prejudice
BY the Assoeiased Press


CHICAGO, Aug. 81. = The Ma
tional Catholic Central Verein o1
America yesterday asserted that "It
is an obvious fact that prejudice
and hatred against the Catholic
Church still persists
In a declaration of principle
adopted at the closing sessions OF
its annual convention, the vereir
also condemned universal military
training and urged that the Nation
extend to Europe's displaced persons
"the help which their very human
rights demand"
The section on tolerance and
intolerance asserted that proof OF
the hatred and prejudice against
the Catholic Church" may be found
in the heated controversies aroused
by such questions as the retaining
of representative of the President
at Vatican City; exaggerated and
untrue claims of certain Protestant
leaders in regard to separation of
church and state; released time for
religious instruction, and the fur
nishing of school buses for children
attending private schools"
The opposition to universal mill
tary training was based on four
points: That standing armies of
unlimited size are not necessarily
the most efficient or most adequate
means of defense; that large
standing armies usually serve to
agitate and foment national en-
mites " 40; that mere physical
preparedness is far from adequate, +"
and finally, ''the establishment of a
large standing army would only
confuse and complicate the already
difficult social and economic prob
lens of our Nation"

BALTIMORE, Aug. 21.- State
Controller James J. Lacy estimated
today Maryland's new 2 per cent
sales tax will produce 20,000,00 in
it's first year and said he would
study the possibility of eliminating
the tax on purchases under 20 cents.
Gov. Lanes financial program for
the current 2-year budget period is
based on estimates that the sales
tax would produce $18,400,000 an
nually.
Mr.. Lacy reported today that a
still incomplete tabulation of July
returns has reached $1,275,0O0.
The controller directed Walter E.
Kennedy, director of the Sales Tax
Division, to determine the possible
effect of exempting purchases under
20 cents.
"If, collections continue as ex-
pected and if the study indicates
the move to be practical" Mr.. Lacy
said, Il will recommend to the
Governor that the act be amended
so there will,be no tax on purchases
of less than 20 cents
Merchants now collect a penny
tax on items selling for more than
cents.
TT is impossible to determine at
this time whether such an exemp-
ton is feasible Mr.. Lacy said.
TT would be foolhardy to place
too much reliance on the first col
lections. No final conclusion should
be reached until the State has had
the benefit of more experience in
collecting the tax.
Care should be taken to see to it
that any exemption will not reduce
the total amount of the tax below
the figure needed by the State
budget"
Tax Effective July 1.
The sales tax was enacted by this
years session of the General Assem-
bly, at Gov. Lanes insistence. 1t be-
came effective July l.
Meanwhile, Attorney General
Hall Hammond said General
Assembly delegate had misin-
terpreted a ruling from his office
and Maryland residents are not
required to pay the per cent sales
tax on each item of a multiple pur-
chase.
Delegate Bernard S. Melnicove,
Democrat, of Baltimore, had OBJ
jected to an Attorney Generals
ruling which he construed as mean
ing that customer making several
purchases in one store could not
add up the total price and pay 2
per cent on that amount.

day that the questioned phrase
applied to procedure in case sales
tax tokens were used, and the same
