to lift the extra tax on tickets for

The tax still would apply on
tickets southwark within the West
ern Hemisphere this side Of the
equator, except South America.
Eastward the tax would apply as
far as the thirtieth meridian, almost
to the Azores. Westward the limit
would be the international dateline,

trimmed coats and foreign travel
tickets, Mr.. Knutson said, will re-
duce that amount by $35,0oo, ,0o0 to
$40 100000.
Removal Of the tax on fur
trimmed coats would apply only to
those in which the fur was valued
At less than three times the cost
Of the cloth.
The State Department sponsored
