after concerning the collecting of an admission and amusement tax
from military personnel in the uniform of the United States; and

Whereas, Since the Attorney General of Maryland has ruled that
the definitive end of the War occurred on April 28, 1952, this pro-
vision has been totally obsolete and outmoded as of six months
following that date; and
