County Asks
WSSC To Pay
Moving Bill

While u county road projects
are delayed, Montgomery County
will make one more attempt to
settle with the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission the
problem of who pays for moving
WSSC facilities when a street is
reconstructed - the commission
or the county.
The County Council Tuesday
ordered County Attorney Charles
M. Irelan to confer on the prob
lem with WSSC legal officials.
Councilman ]. G. Walker urged
that the courts decide the two
bodies mutual obligations
The WSSC says the county
owes $4,000 for facilities moved
since 1912. County Manager M.
L. Reese says the commission is
willing to settle for half.
Mr.. Reese says the commission
has rejected his proposal that the
commission pay all the expenses
of moving facilities when the
WSSC has set the grade follow
ing the natural terrain, and that
the county pay all expenses when
a new grade is being established.
The commission wants the
county to pay all expenses in all
cases, Mr.. Reese says.
Meanwhile the WSSC has re-
fused to approve II county road
projects, including the $125,000
widening of Cordell Avenue be-
tween Old Georgetown Road and
Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda.

Sales Tax
Yields 1872
Percent More
Than In 1855

Marylands Sales and Use Tax
collections during the fiscal year,
ended June 30, 1856, reached a
new high of $41, ,S56, ,334.50, accord
ing to J. Millard Tawes, State
Comptroller.
In a detailed report giving final
statistics on collections of the
tax, an increase of $685., ,549. 81
was shown. This represents 1889
percent gain over last years
total collection of $34, 1898, ,784.89.
Incorporated within the years
total receipts is 81 1855, ,988.80-col-
lected through deficiency assess
ments.
A total of 492,369 monthly re-
turns filed for 1856 showed an
increase of 1856 or BAT percent.
Baltimore City continued to be
the largest source of revenue
with collections of $40, ,573.97
-a45.83 percentage of the total
amount.
The five Maryland counties
producing highest revenues were;
Baltimore, $4,932, 1899; Mont
gomery, $2,949, ,956.03; Prince
Georges, $2,077, 029.69; Anne Ar
undel, $1,329,03713; and Wash
ington, S1,141, ,74064.
Collections from District of
Columbia merchants amounted to
81, ,634, ,813.27 while other out-of-
State vendors brought in $1,584,.
35560.
Much of the yearly increase
in receipts is due to amendments
to the Retail Sales and Use Tax
Acts, approved by the 1855 Gen
eral Assembly which became eff
fective June 1, 1855. They include:
1. The tax imposed on receipts
derived from rentals, leases, and
royalties on tangible personal
property; 2. Repeal of Section $40
(f) of the Use Tax Law which
previously exempted from the
tax, goods not readily obtainable
in Maryland when used under
certain conditions.
Retail Sales were pushed to
higher levels through the medi.
ums of population growth, a rec
ord level of employment together
with higher consumer incomes,
and a sustained construction
boom, particularly in the field of
new plant facilities, with a re-
sumption of upward trends in
NOSE price levels.
While the rise in receipts was
strongest in the building mater
ials and contractors group, collec-
tons from monthly returns with
in the eight major categories of
business were as follows:
l. General Merchandise Group,
$12, 2,058, ,121.18.
2. Building Materials and Con-
tractors Group, 81, 387,615.48.
3. Miscellaneous Group, $5,846,-
1928.
a. Food and Beverage Group,
$4,111 ,919.23.
5. Utilities and Transportation
Group, S3,765, 1851.
6. Furniture and Appliances
Group, $3,206,09747.
z. Apparel Group, $2,848,167.87.
8. Automotive and Oil Comp
anieS, $2,631, ,894.93.
Mr.. Tawes stated that the Re
tail Sales and Use Tax Collec-
tons remain one of the leading
sources of revenue for the States
General Fund and furnished net
receipts of $41.691, ,767.57 or 2S17
percent of all General Fund Rev.
enues totalling $14S,O07, ,255.S2 for
fiscal 1856.
The principal expenditure of
the General Fund revenue con.
tinues to be directed toward the
support of education, including
the public schools, the State
Teachers Colleges, teachers re-
tirement system, and institutions
Of higher learning. Next in i'm

By JACK BELL

SAN FRANCISCO, RARepub. licans roared their unanimous ap. proval Wednesday night of ar Eisenhower-Nixon team they con- fidently predict will repeat its 1852 defeat of a Democratic tick ct headed by Adlai E. Stevenson
 Far away in Libertyville, H., Stevenson, renominated in Chi cago last week, voiced congratu- lations to Eisenhower and said, q am pleased to be matched against him again."
 In obvious reference to the re- nomination of Vice President Nix on, often accused by the Demo- crats of dirty campaign tactics, Stevenson said:
 q suppose we will now witness the greatest dry cleaning job in our political history"
 Nixon won his place after liar old E. Stassen stood up before the 1923 delegates and urged them to vote for the man he had said previously would cost the COP ticket millions of votes" in the November election.
 Swallowing probably the bitter est pill of his political career, the one-time "boy wonder" governor of Minnesota acknowledged that Nixon was the "clear choice" of the mass of the delegates.
 Earlier at a news conference Eisenhower quashed Stassen's weeks-old drive to drop Nixon and replace him with Gov. Chris tian Herter of Massachusetts or almost any other Republican of stature.
 Eisenhower announced Stassen had told him he was dropping his drive to ditch Nixon because it was evident the delegates wanted the vice president on the ticket again.

Eisenhower and Nixon Renominated
 Unanimously for Second Terms

Altho he held out to the last against any flat endorsement, Ei- senhower declared of Nixon:
 q think he is as good a man as you can get"
 Despite all the talk about hav- ing an "open" convention, dele gates were determined to follow Eisenhower's unanimous renom- ination with no-dissents choice of Nixon.
 Stassen, after watching a howl ing, shrieking demonstration for Nixon, marched solemnly to the convention podium, laid down a sheaf of handwritten notes, and sought to make his peace.
 Speaking before an audience which had been cautioned against booing him, Stassen said Nixon was an "able and experienced 7. :. effective and earnest incumbent. !"
 Stassen said he thought the most constructive and helpful step I can now take toward the reelection of Dwight D. Eisen- hover" was to second Nixon's nomination. And he did it, No. 5 among the six seconding speech makers.

Egypt to Face Moral Force
 Of l8 Nations

LONDON, R-A committee of five nations moved swiftly today to bring before Egypt the moral force of 18 countries demanding international control of the Suez Canal.
 Prime Minister Robert Menzies of Australia led the committee thru a session he described as "very urgent and extremely con- fidential" to map strategy for ap- preaching Egyptian President Nasser.
 Menzies was named chairman of the special Suez Canal commit tee set up after India and Russia blocked the sending of delega- ton under auspices of the full 22- nation Suez conference, which wound up eight days of discus sions yesterday.
 Sitting with Menzies were dele gates representing a cross section of powers directly concerned with freedom of navigation in the ca nal-the United States, Sweden, Iran and Ethiopia.
 The majority's proposal is that Egypt, which nationalized the canal July 26, should turn it's op- eration over to an international board on which she would be represented.

Alaska Indian
 Woman Impresses COP Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, Rt-Mrs. Mildred Sparks, an Alaska Indian who made her first trip out of the territory to take part in the Re publican National Convention, said she was proud of it, "every exciting minute of it."
 A highlight to her was adoption of platform pledging support for immediate statehood for her native land.
 Mrs. Sparks, a page at the con- vention, was as smartly dressed as most San Francisco women. She comes from the small village of Klukwan, 20 miles upriver from Haines.
 She said she was impressed with the automobile traffic, cable cars and other sights in San Fran cisco. And Republican leaders at the convention were impressed with her.
 Mrs. Sparks said she has all except 10 of Klukwan's 100 resi- dents voting Republican and ex- poets the remaining holdouts to "come around"
 Another member of the small but colorful Alaska delegation in the big show was 81yearold Charles E. Jones of Nome, a mem Der of the first territorial legis- lature in '913. He is still senator in the territorial legislature and is seeking reelection this year.

HAWAII DELEGATION ADOPTS FLAG WITH 49 STARS

SAN FRANCISCO RLHawaii's s delegation to the Republican Ma tional Convention has confidently accepted a flag with 49 stars, the COP territorial chairman an- nounced yesterday.
 With immediate statehood'' blanks nailed firmly into both the Republican and Democratic na- tional platforms, Arthur D. Wool away predicted the statehood bill stymied in the last Congress will pass next time.
 Woolaway said he will return to Honolulu this weekend to start work on the problem of recruiting qualified persons to run for the territorial legislature.
 He explained that the pay of legislators-$1, ,0OO for a 60-day session-as compared to the cost of campaigning for office-$3,000 to $5,000-has made it econom- ically impossible for many per sons to run for the territorial legislature.

induced Mrs. Gilbert to draw
$500 from her bank account in
order 70 show them as a gesture
Of good faith, with the promise
that they would divide the money
in the p0cketbOok with her.
Mrs. Gilbert, accompanied by
the two men, drew the 81 500
from her account.
The men urged MRS. Gilbert 10
give the money TO them, but she
refused. The men followed her
10 the 600 block on First court,
continuously urging her TO give
the money to them One of the
men then snatched the money and
both fed and disappeared. Mrs.
Gilbert told police Of the incident
