Silliest tennis discussion of
the season is the so-called
controversy over whether Alex
Olmedo, a Peruvian citizen,
should be allowed to play on
the United States Davis Cup
team. If the United States
Lawn Tennis Association is so
desperate that it is even con-
sidering playing a Peruvian,
who is employed by the Peru
Wan government, on the United
States Davis Cup team we
should throw in the towel
In spite of all reports 70 the
contrary, we think Hamilton

Of the Davis Cup team that
goes to Australia, and he will
be accompanied by his pretty

Virginia Milk
Pricing Upheld

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 10
tR.-The Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals today upheld
the right of the State Milk
Commission to regulate retail
milk prices in the Alexandria
Arlington market. y
The decision reversed an
earlier one in the Richmond
Circuit Court which held that
the Milk Commission had
abused its discretion in re-
fusing to withdraw from retail
price fixing in Northern Vir-
ginia."
The Circuit Court decision
was made in October 1856 by
Judge Harold r. Snead who
now is a justice on the State
Supreme Court.
Safeway Stores Inc. and
Highs Dairy filed suit to get
the Milk Commission out of
the retail price fixing field in
Northern Virginia after the
commission voted 2 to / that
it would continue fixing prices
in the nearby area.
Safeway and Highs contend
ed that milk in other parts of
the Washington Metropolitan
Area can be sold cheaper than
in Northern Virginia although
the milk comes from the same
sources.
Had the Circuit Court de-
cision been upheld. diaries serv-
ing the Northern Virginia mar
ket would have been allowed to
reduce prices to match those in
Washington.
The Supreme Court said to-
day a Milk Commission order
has to be upheld on appeal as
long as there is credible EVIL
dence to support it." 1t sent
the case back to Richmond Cir
cult Court with directions to
enter a new order upholding the
commissions retail price, fixing
powers.

Bonds Veto Power
Lost by FreehoIders
Low Affecting
Arlington Held
Invalid

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 10
R.-The State Supreme Court
today threw out . 1856 law to
give freeholders q veto over
bond issues in Arlington
County.
In so ruling. the high court
upheld an opinion last fall by
then Attorney General Ken-
meth C. Patty. The Supreme
Court denied a writ Of manda.
mus to force the Common.
wealth's attorney Of Arlington
County, William j. Hassan, to
certify a voucher in payment Of
a bill presented by the county
electoral board.
The bill was for the cost Of
making up a separate list Of
freehold ers-property owners.
in addition to regularly quail.
fed voters. in anticipation Of
a bond issue election. Mr.. Has.
san refused to certify the
voucher.
The Supreme Court pointed
out that the constitution ex.
pressly requires an election, on
the question of whether long
term debt shall be assumed by
counties. The court said the
constitution also specified that
the question shall be submitted
to the qualified voters Of .
county for approval or rejec.
ton.
THE General Assembly was
not at liberty to redefine quail
flied voters and so require app
prevail of the bond issue by .
different electorate from that
specified in the constitution.
however desirable it might be
to do So" the court said.
Under the Freeholders Act.
property owners have a veto
power on bond issue proposals.
The statute requires that q
bond issue referendum be SUBJ
ject to approval by both ma.
jority of the voters and a ma
jority Of the voting property
owners (freeholders).
Arlington officials had re-
quested a ruling by the courts
because of pending bond issue
proposals. There has been no
referendum before the voters
since the county adopted the
Freeholders Act in November.
1856.
The electoral board. under
the act. must prepare a list of
property owners at least 20
days before the voting on a
bond issue referendum.
/ During court arguments. the
electoral board said the act is
valid because the State con-
stitution does not abridge the
General Assembly's authority to
require property ownership as
a voting prerequisite.
The Arlington School Board
has voted for $3.5 million bond
issue referendum to build York
town High School. The school
boards resolution has not yet
been presented to the circuit
court. which is required to set a
date for the voting, in order to
give the county board an OPP
portunity to place a capital

gross income or $1,000, which,
ever Is less.
Previously, the allowable de-
duction was 10 per cent or $500,
whichever was less.
A married couple living to-
gether but filing separately may
claim a maximum of only $500
each. II one itemizes his de-
auctions. neither may claim the
standard deduction or use the
optional tax table.
Must Use Table
Still another change means
that more taxpayers will have
to figure out their taxes for
themselves this year. The law
reduces from 10000 to $4,000
the maximum gross income for
which a tax table may be used
in computing the tax.
Married taxpayers filing
separate returns now must
divide equally their $4,000 total
personal exemption. In the past
the one with the higher income
might take the entire exemp-
ton and realize a saving by
cutting down the amount OF
his income which might fall in
higher tax brackets.
Now. however, each must
claim his own $1,000.
Nevertheless, husbands and
wives might figure their taxes
both pointly and separately to
see which is more favorable to
them.
Generally, If the income of
one exceeds $1,000. it is better
to file separately. since the less
the total taxable income, the
lower the tax bracket into
which it will fall.
