Milk Price Rise

A Safeway Stores spokesman
today said the price of Lucerne
milk has been raised half-cent
a quart and Dairyland Milk a
cent a quart.
The new prices, effective to-
day. resulted from a seasonal
half-cent-a-quart rise in the
price paid to producers. Four
major diaries in the D. C. area,
Chestnut Farms, Alexandria,
Embassy and Thompson's, last
week announced their price
would go up one cent a quart
due to the higher producer price.
Other diaries indicated they
would follow suit.
The new Safeway prices are:
Lucerne Milk two quarts for 43
cents instead Of straight 81
cents a quart price, and Dairy
land Milk. 20 cents a quart in
stead Of 10 cents with a special
price of four quarts for n cents.
The new price schedules apply
to Sideways Washington and
Maryland stores only. In Vir-
ginia, where prices are controlled
by the State Milk Commission,
milk must sell at 22.5 cents a
quart--the new minimum price
that goes into effect today.

head Of q special legislative
committee on taxes and finances,
said yesterday his group will
make no specific recommends
tons for new taxes to meet
Maryland's financial pinch.
That's the Governors respon-

expenditures is expected to face
the Governor and the General
Assembly when the legislature
meets next February to tackle

instead and set up the Northrop
committee to study ways and
means.
Senator Northrop said his
committee viii make its report
to the Legislative Council in the
fall.
The section on taxation. he
explained, viii include q COM
plete analysis of Maryland's tax
structure and that Of other
states.
This, he said, will enable mem
bers of the General Assembly to
analyze any tax proposals the
Governor may send down.
The taxation problem has been
under study by a subcommittee
headed by Delegate Blair Lee,
Democrat, Of Montgomery, and
1t expects to report to the full
committee in mid-September.
Another subcommittee, headed
by Delegate John Whitmore,
Democrat, of Anne Arundel, has
been studying budget problems.
Mr.. Whitmore said his group
already has decided to recon-
mend that the State Department

authority to veto building pro-
posals it deems too elaborate or
