Slot machines face an uncertain
future in the four Southern Mary
land counties in which their oper-
alton is legal but contrary to
the public policy of the state.
The counties are Anne Arundel,
Calvert. Charles and st. Marys.
Also hanging in the balance Is
the fate of the devices on piers
jutting out into the Potomac River
from Colonial Beach and other
points on the Virginia shore.
Slot machines operate on the
piers under Maryland licenses OBJ
tanned in Charles County, directly
across the river. There issuance
is based on the premise that
Maryland owns the Potomac to
the low water mark on the Old
Dominion side.
Confronted BY Two Risks.
Two risks confront the multi
million dollar gambling industry.
One is the new Federal law bar
ring shipment of slot machines
into States in which their opera
ton is illegal. The other is the
possibility that acts of the Mary
land Legislature under which they
were sanctioned are unconstitu-
tional because of defective titles.
Opinions differ as to what ac-
ton will be required to shipments
of slot machines and parts into
Southern Maryland are to con-
tinue.
Some sources believe the Fed
eral roadblock can be circum-
vented by enactment of local laws
authorizing their transportation
into the four counties. Others
hold that legislative approval of
slot machines on a Statewide
basis will be necessary.
Questions Presented.
If the later assumption is cor
rect, these questions present them
selves:
Will the Legislature sanction
the devices on a State wide basis
considering that they are banned
in the other 10 counties and Balti-
more city.
And If the General Assembly
approves such legislation, will Gov.

ern Maryland to keep the devices

Promoters Jittery.
The promoters are jittery. how
ever, about the question of the
validity of laws now in effect.
The point Is that titles of the
statutes label slot machines
"amusements" rather than gam
bling devices. The State constitu-
ton makes it mandatory that
titles of bills refer to a spade
as a spade"
Failure to meet that require
ment struck down a slot machine
law in Prince Georges County
which had been approved in a
referendum after enactment by
the legislature.
Circuit Judge Charles c. Mar
bury held that use of the word
amusement" in the title of that
act was deceptive and mislead-
ing" He ruled the law invalid
and the State Court of Appeals
upheld his decision.
Recognizing that a similar
situation may develop in other
counties, legislators plan to amend
existing licensing acts at the cur
rent session of the General AS
sembly at Annapolis.
Other changes in slot machine
statutes also will be sought but
county lawmakers declined to
detail their plans until major
aspects of the situation are clari-
fed.

Area Milk Price Cut
In Spring Uncertain,
Producers Warn
By MoIeoIm Lomborne, Jr.


Washington area consumers and
producers should know by Febru-
airy l whether there will be any
price changes in milk and cream
in this area in the spring.
On April l, the producer price Of
milk is slated to drop As cents a
hundred pounds and the retail
price would go from % to 81 cents.
But, the Virginia Milk Commits
sion, which heard day-long testi-
mony yesterday in Alexandria on
proposed price changes for the
Arlington. Alexandria, Manassas
and Fredericksburg markets, is
expected. to act on proposals that
would retain the present price
through the spring and summer

of barely adequate" supplies, in
sisted that it's 108 members could
not afford to take the seasonal
price drop April l but must main
tain beyond that date the present

Alexandria Dairy and Chestnut
FarmS-Chevy Chase Dairy de-
clared they, too, were experiencing
higher operating and production
costs and would have to have at
least a 4-cent-a-q quart increase in
cream.
Their spokesman warned that if
this were not done and the pro-
oucers received a higher than sea-
sonal price in April they would
have to return to the commission
and ask for a half-cent-a-q quart
increase for retail milk.
QuiZZed on Fair Return"
At one point in the hearing held
in the Cameron Street Recreation
Center, V. P. Randolph, jr., acting
commission chairman, asked B. B.
Derrick, secretary-treasurer of the
producer group. if his members
would consider $6.o5 a fair re-
turn assuming the commission
would increase the retail price
from % to 221a cents a quart.
Mr.. Derrick replied in the mega
tive and said the producers then
would have to have 1928. He
added that this position was sub
ject, of course, to approval by the
associations directors.
After the hearing Mr.. Derrick
was asked whether he thought, in
the light of testimony that de-
mand was outstripping supply in
this market, the District Commits
sioners might reconsider their ban
on sale of milk in Washington
from distant farms not inspected
by the District Health Depart
ment.
Mr.. Derrick replied that "we
think we will be able to take care
of Metropolitan Washington in
definitely, but we won't attempt
! to supply the armed forces in
Maryland, Virginia and North
Carolina with locally inspected
milk"
Claude McCline of the Bir-
mingham Dairy Co. in Manassas
urged a Accent increase in cream
prices. Cream in the Washing
ton area costs 81 cents quart, 38
cents a pint and 81 cents halt
pint. Under the dairy proposal,
they would rise to II cents, 40
cents and % cents respectively.
