Margarine Battle Joined
IN WASHINGTON


THE 60-year-old battle between the
L dairy industry and the manufac-
turers of margarine appears about to
be joined in this session of congress.
Nineteen bills now are pending seek
ing to end or lower federal taxes on
margarine.
Real nub of the contention is one
of color, for that is the real import Of
the margarine lobby to repeal the
tax of 10 cents pound and federal
licenses on colored margarine. The
dairy industry declares that il. this
is done it will open the way to fraud
ulent sale of margarine as butter;
that market for 40 per cent of milk
produced could be destroyed; that
the claim that fortified margarine is
scientifically equivalent to butter is
open to question and that the ques-
ton comes down to fight between
three million farmers trying to sur
vive and few large corporations
seeking large profits.
On the other side, the margarine
association admits that in early days
back in the 1905 there was some
attempt at fraudulent sale of mar
garine but pure food and drug laws
now make that impossible; that tax
repeal would open larger market
for cotton seed and Soybean oil; that
natural color of margarine is yellow
and manufacturers must bleach it
to make it white; that margarine is
nutritionally equivalent to butter;
that color is added to butter; that If
margarine is bad it should be pro-
hibited, not regulated; that the dairy
industry is unable to meet demand
for butter; that the tax is discrim-
inatory and prevents low income
groups from obtaining a cheap food;
and that the treasury department
itself admits that the tax should be
repealed.
But even if federal tax is re-
pealed the margarine industry has
a long way to 60, because in %
states sale of colored margarine
is prohibited; II states bar use Of
margarine in state institutions; in
only 18 states are there no local
restrictions, most of them in the
producing South.
Only half of the 100000 retail
grocers have licenses to sell uncol-
ored margarine, only per cent are
licensed to sell colored margarine;
l3 states require annual licenses for
margarine wholesalers; II impose
annual retail licenses; nine require
annual manufacturers license; seven
states tax each pound of uncolored
margarine; four states tax colored
margarine 10 cents a pound, and four
states require annual licenses for
eating places serving margarine.

Winning Friends

The records show that President
Truman always has increased his
popularity when he has risen above
partisanship. He certainly did so
when he openly challenged southern
political leaders in reiterating his
stand on his civil liberties program.
In declaring the President would not
retreat, Chairman McGrath of the
Democratic national committee said
the Presidents program was as old
as the Constitution and as young as
the 1914 Democratic platform.
President Truman has asked ex-
tension of the reciprocal trade pro-
gram for three years. The present
act expires June IL. Except for the
year Of 1913, majority of Repub-
licans consistently have opposed
the reciprocal trade act. However,
one Of the requisites of the Mar
shall plan is a customs union or
reciprocal trade among western
European hations. Observers ask,
can this country require 1t of other
nations and turn It down our
selves? The President says i'm.
pOrtance of the act is greater to-
day than ever before.
Rep. Sid Simpson of Illinois wants
the government to look into the rain
making industry. He has introduced
a bill to direct the chief of the wealth
er bureau to conduct experiments
with respect to methods of controll-
ing rainfall.
1t takes a whale of lot of tech
nology in the operations of any busi-
ness to overcome the costs of taxes and
the ever increasing price of labor.
Government Arithmetic
The house of representatives used
the bookkeeping method of cutting
81 million dollars from the commerce
department budget and claims a
Saving" Commerce requested 40
million dollars for aid to airports.
The house granted three million dol
lars but granted contract authori-
ty" for the rest. That means that
81 million dollars can be contracted.
The same method was used in many
instances last year and then amounts
were istless deficiency" items.

Protein for Convalescents

Extra calories, vitamins and min
erals in the convalescent diet Of a
surgical patient cannot substitute
for adequate amounts of all the 10
essential amino acids found in
high quality natural proteins, such
as beef steak, eggs and milk, says
American Medical association. Ami
no acids are chemical compounds
which make up protein. In the
process of digestion proteins are
broken down into these basic ele-
ments, which circulate freely in the
blood until the recombine to build
tissue.

Dangerous Flame Heaters

Emergency operation of open
flame gas and oil heaters brings a
serious hazard into the home, en-
gineers of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters warn. During
heavy snowstorms in the northeast
ern states, many deaths were
caused by gas poisoning through
use of invented open flame heaters
In tightly closed rooms. If house
Is tightly closed or a room is small,
the amount of oxygen in the room
Is gradually burned up, with the
result that the products of COM
bustion will contain high percent
ages of deadly carbon monoXide.
Browning chief., 1948-04-09
Dried Vegetable Waste

Dried vegetable waste makes ex-
cellent poultry feed and, according
to University of Delaware, where
quality control of the dried product
has been maintained, is equal to or
superior to alfalfa leaf meal. From
chemical analysis and performance,
it is concluded that vegetable waste
is an excellent source of carotene,
riboflavin and other water soluble
vitamins.
Browning chief., 1948-04-09

COncensus here is that the 80th
congress will pass up all proposed
lOng-range farm legislation until
after the election and merely ex-
tend provisions of the Steagall
act for another year. Provisions
of the act expire December 81 this
year. In the meantime, depart
ment of agriculture is urging CO.
ordination of all federal farm ac-
tivities in farmer-elected county
committees.

Detect Solvent Vapors

Improved apparatus for deter
mining the vapor content of a gas,
recently patented, can be used to
test the air in factories or other
closed spaces where solvent vapors
may be present, and by fliers to
determine whether the water vapor
content in their cylinders of breath
ing oxygen is low enough so it will
not turn into ice crystals and plug
the breathing apparatus.

HIXON SULFUR
Named After Hero

The word academy" was de-
rived from the name of a hero in
the Trojan war. World Book en-
cyclopedia says that the Greek
philosopher, Plato, ia .ght group
of young people in a grove which
belonged to a military hero named
Academus. In honor of the owner,
the school was known as Plato's
academy.

Congress to President

Nineteen former members of
congress mot counting John Adams
and Thomas Jefferson, who had
been members of the Continental
congress, later were elected Presi-
dent of the United States. OF the
10, six had served only in the
house, six only in the senate and
seven in both houses.

Melanin in Eyes

Blue eyes and black eyes contain
exactly the same coloring pigment,
known as melanin. The difference
in color is the result of the way in
which light is reflected from the
surfaces of the fibers which make
up the iris. Black eyes also have
more melanin than blue eyes do.
