Mayor Fiorella H. LaGuardia,
appealing to Congress to lift
Federal taxes from margarine,
said that wartime emergencies
demanded a new approach to

He appeared before the
House Agricultural Committee
in support of bill proposed by
Chairman Hamilton P. Fulmer,
South Carolina Democrat, to
repeal the margarine levies.
