Miami Beach didn't wait for
grass to grow in the street. It
was planted there.
Last Monday, the resort city
dedicated its fancy new Lincoln
Road Mall, q wide pedestrian
walkway covering a mile of the
famed shopping thoroughfare.
Except at three of six former
cross streets, the Mall will be
closed to automobile trsffic.
Developed under a 100000

Conservation Reserve

Farmers who have land on the
Conservation Reserve of the Soil
Bank are being encouraged to keep
their land in vegetative cover after
their present land retirement con-
tracts expire.
Latest step in this direction, the
ASC people tell us, is new law
passed at the recent session of
Congress and signed by the Presi-
dent in mid-September. Under this
law a farmer who diverts acreage
to permanent cover under the Con-
servation Reserve keeps his allot-
ment crop acreage history for twice
the period of his Soil Bank con-
tract.
Take the example of wheat
grower who has his cropland in the
Conservation Reserve under a s.
year contract and keeps it in per-
manent cover after his contract ex-
pires. Throughout that contract
and for another five years, he will
get credit for his established wheat
acreage history on the farm, just
the same as if he had grown wheat.
Then, if he should go back into
wheat production, he will be on an
equal footing with other growers
in obtaining a farm wheat. allot-

member of the Districts Board
of Pharmacy who has been

Irving Sacks, operator of an
independent pharmacy, says he
fears the opposition on the part
of other members of the pro-
fession will eliminate his
chance of reappointment by
the District Commissioners to
the official watchdog agency
He has been a member of the
pharmacy board since 1858. His
present term expires at the end
Of this month.
Mr.. Sacks said he has been
attempting to organize the
city's pharmacists for a year
He contends the principal op-
position has come from the
District Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation. This group, he declared,
is controlled" by the drug
store chains.
A spokesman for the phar-
maceutical association admit
ted that someone else has been

post. Miss Eileen Brooks, ex-
ecutive secretary of the group,
said the association strongly
opposes Mr.. Sacks attempts,to

that only 81 of the 400 associa-
ton members are connected

chains land they can be out

Use Tax Bill
Fight Urged

State Controller Louis L.
Goldstein has urged each Of
Maryland's Senators and Con-
gresSmen to oppose legislation
which would restrict the States
use tax collection.
He referred to bills intro
duced in both the House and
Senate to prohibit States from
requiring certain out-of State
vendors to collect the use tax.
At the present time, out-of- =
State vendors who solicit sales
in Maryland must register with
the controllers Office to collect
and remit the use tax.
The Supreme Court has
ruled that out-of-State ven
dorS who solicit business
through independent contrac-
tors can be required to collect
the use tax, Mr.. Goldstein
noted. The Maryland use tax
law has contained this re-
quirement from its inception
in 1947.
Mr.. Goldstein contended that
passage Of the proposed legis-
lation would seriously hinder
Maryland in it's collection of
the use tax. He said it would
discriminate against local ven-
dors in favor of the out-of-
State companies and would
place an additional reporting
burden on Maryland purchas-
ers.
The sales and use taxes, es-
timated at more than STA mill
lion for this year, are the larg-
est source of general fund
revenues in Maryland. Mr..
GoldStein said.
He noted that at the present
time, more than 5000 out-of-
State vendors are collecting the
use tax in Maryland.
