JnaL only 100 OF 2,200 acres now
zoned commercial actually are
used for business.
Figures indicating the acreage
of non-conforming business uses
in existence before 1941 or later
allowed by the Board of Zoning
Appeals, were not available. Mr.
Schumann added that 80 per
cent of non-conforming business
use was devoted to power plants
and substations, gravel pits
filling stations and automobile
repair shops.
Opposes RezOning
A majority of members agreed
that with few exceptions in
isolated areas, all land now zoned
commercial can be used for
business. They added that while
IA countrywide downgrading of
land might stand up in court,
individual rezonings to more re-
Istrictive use would devalue land
and likely be called discrimina-
tory.
The commiSsion's action was
opposed by member Curtis E
johnson, who urged a detailed
Ireappraisal of commercially
Izoned land now used for other
purposes.

Judge Byrnes said only five

The Judge said DR.. Reddick
had shown IAN inordinate inter-
est in establishing the qualifica-
lions of the graduates of two

Western Medical College, for
taking the examination.
He said DR.. Reddick was adj
vised by competent authority

California was accredited by any
authoritative body required by
law but proceeded nevertheless
to give the examination to %
applicants without knowledge or
consent of other board members.

or under Maryland law, to take
the examination"
There are two medical licens-
ing boards in Maryland, one rep
resenting the Medical and Chi
rurgical Faculty, to which most
doctors belong. and the other the
State Homeopathic Medical So
ciety, with a membership of
about $50 physicians. The groups
differ primarily in their method
of treating diseases.
DR.. Reddick's activities were
brought to the attention of the
attorney general by DR.. Chepko,
the depoSed president. At a
meeting of the legally consti-
tuted board it was voted to au-
thorize the attorney general to
recover board records from the

Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW ORLEANS, July 49,
It's sleepy time down South fol-
cotton and its products. All
hands are hoping today for live
lier times after the nap.
AS a consumer you should be
paying just about the same
amount for cotton products after
things pick up next month. AS
a taxpayer you may have to
take in more bales under the
price support program.
Right now the industry-from
the cotton farmer, the ginning
mill owner, the buyer to the tex
tile maker-is faced with these
puzzlerS:
Which guess on the size of the
crop will prove correct, the
amount of cotton land going into
the soil bank, how much the
textile mills will buy as they
start up after their mid summer
siestas, how much money Ameri-
cans will have to spend this
winter, and how much they can
be induced to spend on cotton
products.
Strike Is Problem
A more immediate problem is
the steel strike which threatens
a shortage of steel tie bands for
cotton bales.
Texas seems to be coming out
the best on this, because its
harvest starts first and the COM
panies ship bands there early
The State may have enough on
hand for is million bales.
Altogether American ginnerS
need some $4,000 tons of ties and
buckles to handle the crop. They
hope steel mills in Belgium, ia
pan and England can send a
little. And Alabama's agricul-

Cotton GrowersNowB
Guessing Size Of Crop

Itural commissioner. A. T. Todd,
has asked American aluminium
companies to try their hands
at making bale ties.
Cotton growers have other
problems this year, too: They're
watching the efforts of the
Government to move some of its
So billion cotton stockpile into
world markets while at the same
time substituting American mills
selling cotton fabrics abroad. The
industry still isn't entirely re-
signed to losing the tire cord
market to synthetics. Cotton
men fret at the growing compe-
tition of paper and plastics for
some industrial uses of cotton
products and even for apparel.
And they eye the inroads of
japanese textiles on the domestic
and export markets of the cotton
growers customers, the United
States textile mills.
Guessing the size of this
years crop occupies many in the
industry. But in Charlotte, N. c.,
Owen Fitzsimons, secretary of
the Carded Yarn Association,
whose members are first to lay
hands on the cotton after it's
ginned, SCOTS at making predic-
tons so early. He notes that
weather can still affect the crop
greatly; boil weevil infestation
could be reported; and there's
still doubt as to how much has
been plowed under this year to
meet soil bank terms Offering

mated yield from land SO set
