Drive 10 Repeal Tax

By Chalmers M. Roberts

A determined effort to repeal the

housewife to color 1t herself win get
under way this week on Capitol Hill.
A dozen Senators and Representa-
tiyes who have introduced tax repeal
bills will launch on Tuesday with q

plan strategy to get repeal bill out
OF the House Agriculture Committee
and onto the House floor for vote.
Leader of the new drive is q
freshman House Republican from
Indiana, Edward A. Mitchell, who
led a Navy underwater demolition
team in the Pacific. Indications are
that some blasting tactics similar to
those he used in the war may be
necessary to get the oleo tax repeal
out of committee.

In before the housewife buys 1t ut
the store, the tax lis 10 cents a
pound. High license fees for both
manufacturers and retailers, which
tend to discourage the sale of mar
garine, also would be repealed by
most of the measures introduced in
Congress.
Mr.. Mitchell, a rugged 47-year old
one-time cheese salesman, is the
major owner of food manufactur-
ing and distributing firm in his
native Evansville, Ind. He calls
the tax "a vicious, monopolistic
piece of legislation" written into
law by dairy and butter interests
which fear the competition of
margarine.
At Tuesdays luncheon in the
speakers dining room at the Capitol,
the Indiana Republican plans to go
through the process of mixing the
color into a pound or so OF oleo to
prove to the representatives of the
women's clubs just how ridiculous
such a process is when 1t could be
done by the manufacturer.
The mixing will be done with the
aid of movie and still photographers,
and perhaps radio commentators,
to dramatise the tax repeal drive,
Mr.. Mitchell says.
Mr.. Mitchell hopes Tuesdays
meeting will result in drive back
home" that will flood Congress with
mail favoring the tax repeal. Chief
targets of the letters will be men,
bers of the Agriculture Committee.
One Of the Democrats who fought
for repeal in 1943, Representative
Poage, of Texas, predicted last week
that the repeal move "has its best
chance this year of any in the IL
years I've been in Congress.
