Legislator Hits Separate Tax
On Each Item in Maryland Sales

lature had so intended, the act
would read that a tax is imposed
on each article sold instead OF on
each separate SALE as is the case. "
Mr.. Melnicove said that under the
Attorney Generals ruling house.
wife buying 10 articles at 10 cents
each would pay a tax of 10 per cent
instead of 2.
The delegate also said the ruling
made it possible flor restaurants to
tax each item in a meal instead of
the total check.
Mr.. Melnicove suggested the con-
troller rule the tax Is 10 be collected
on the completed transaction instead
of on separate items.
Mr.. Lacy said $1,115,700 had been
received thus far from those who
have filed Maryland retail sales tax
returns for July.
Returns continue to come in from
various sections, but as many mer-
chants did not receive their copy
of the form until after August /,
they are late in forwarding collec-
tions.
Retail use tax return blanks fol
individuals are ready for distribu-
ton, Walter E. Kennedy, chief OF
the sales tax division OF the con-
troller's Office, announced. The
forms are for purchases made out
of the State where no sales tax
exists.
IF person refuses to make q
use tax RETURN" the announcement
said, nothing can be done about
it. A man or woman is merely
honorbound to make the report"

Falls Church Seeks
Aid Aid j in zolniiJn,g Issue

Falls Church is seeking the aid
of a planning engineer from the
Virginia State Highway Department
to help 1t decide whether a service
station should be located next to
the Falls Church Episcopal Church
on Lee Highway,
Town Clerk Claude M Wells has
written the State Highway Depart
ment asking that a planning engi-
neer be assigned to study effects Of
the proposed service station which
would be. erected east of the old
Episcopal church. Opponents of the
service station include the Falls
Church and Fairfax County OAR
Chapters and the church.
Not only do opponents of the
service station object to such an
enterprise next to the old church,
which was built in 1765. but they
say the station would create a traf-
fic hazard because it would COM
plicate traffic in an area that already
is a bottleneck at times.
The property on which the sta
ton would be constructed already
is zoned commercial. Proponents
say the station would be of Colonial
architecture end would be separated
from the churchyard by high
fence.

|StuuntonCitizens
| Driven Indoors
| ByCicket Plague
BY the Asseciated Press

STAUNTON, Va, Aug. 20.-Staun-
ton residents were driven indoors by
a swarm of crickets, totaling hun
dreds of thousands, which swooped
down on the community yesterday.
Those who had to be out made
their way quickly as the little chirp-
ing insects hoped in their faces,
jumped on their clothing and gen.
orally took over the town. Some
invaded houses and stores through
carelessly opened doors or un-
screened windows.
Where they came from or when
they'll depart was just matter Of
conjecture. They had thinned out
little this morning.
County Agent E. B. Morse. how
ever, relieved the minds of farmers
when he said he didn't think crops
were much endangered Unlike the
grasshoppers of Utah, A. M. Wood
side, Virginia Agricultural Extension
Entomologist explained, these eric
kets are just as much attracted to

By Husband S Action

A Capital Transit Co. bus operator
used a blanket last night to smother
fire which ignited his wife's hair
and clothing.
The couple, Mr.. and Mrs. George
T. Barnes, both 30, of 4214 Seventy
first avenue, Landover Hills, Md,
were in the kitchen of their home
using cleaning solution which sud-
denly ignited, flames spread to Mrs.
Barnes hair and clothing. Her hus-
band threw a blanket over her to
put out the flames.
She was treated at Prince Georges
General Hospital, Cheverly, for sec
ond-degree burns on the face, arms,
hands and shoulders. Mr. Barnes,
who suffered minor burns, was
treated at the scene.
The fire, limited to the kitchen,
was put out by four Prince Georges
County volunteer fire departments
after two neighbors, Everett Pitzen-
-darer and Van Bryan, used garden
hoses until firemen arrived. They
estimated damage at about 5000.
Mrs. Barnes is employed in a
Washington department store.
