executive secretary and legislative

ly, present office holdefwho intends
to resign shortly. Many other organ-
izations in the State, having learned
of Taylor’s candidacy, have also en-’
domed him. In this writer’s opinion*.
Larry Taylor is eminently qualified
to occupy this responsible post and
it is hoped, the,executive board, when
able to go to that expense and that
they will be forced to close down if
the law is upheld."
Evidently believing that the U. S.
Supreme Court would either refuse to
pass on the constitutionality of the
act or would uphold it, a nmber of
drug stores and similar concerns,
prior to the court's ruling, had ar-
ranged to wall off portions of their
stores into cafe rooms so as to abide
by the law.
