Storage Worries for Maryland Wheat Markets
Maryland storage leaders and government officials struggle to move 1.5 million bushels of old government loan wheat from Baltimore terminals.

Eisenhower tax plan gains unusual backing from retail federation
The American Retail Federation with 58 state and national groups pivots from opposing the excess profits tax to supporting a six month extension to aid a balanced budget in 1955. Sales leaders say the tax harms small business and the economy, while Marion Folsom notes business sentiment shifting in favor of extension. Secretary Weeks urges businessmen to face the overall economic realities and warns against ignoring the fiscal menace. Reed seeks mid year tax cut and tax policy changes despite opposition from chambers and manufacturers groups.
