and said they prevent the public
from having freedom of choice in
satisfying personal wants and they
increase his living costs by inter-
fering with the consumption of less
expensive foods" He said the tax
was especially burdensome on low
! income families.
Mr.. Virgins said more than 80
per cent of the margarine consumed
is of the uncolored variety. He
testified that all Federal margarine
taxes brought the Treasury S5,874,-
600 in revenue in 1947 while this
wears revenue Is estimated at ST.
O00, ,00oe
He pointed out that many States
have additional taxes on margarine
while % States ban completely the
sale of colored margarine. High
Federal license fees restrict the dis
tribution of the product, he added.
Buttress for Diaries, Virgins Says.
The Federal manufacturers tax
is $500 while wholesalers must pay
$3.50 a year for a license to sell
colored margarine and 5000 to sell
the uncolored type. The retail
dealer pays $48 for his colored mar
garine license and Sc for uncolored
Mr.. Virgins said the legislative
history of margarine taxes dating
back to 1886 indicates that their
purpose is to butteress the competl-
tive position of the dairy industry y
He said there is little need to use
the taxing power to prevent mis-
representation of margarine as but
ter but if Congress feels this is
necessary such taxes should be "at
nominal rates."
AS soon as Mr.. Virgins concluded
his testimony two of the leading
tax advocates on the committee
questioned him on the colorine
aspect of the argument.
i Jeopardy to Diaries Seen.
Representative Andersen, Repub.
Ilican, of Minnesota, wanted to know
if there was any tax on colorlne
margarine pink" or orange OF
green" adding that it is coloree
yellow in obvious imitation O.
butter. Mr.. Virgins said the public
wants a yellow color.
Representative Murray, Republi'
can, of Wisconsin, said the whole
dairy industry is in Jeopardy be-
cause of the tax repeal moves which
he said might cause a drop in milE
prices. He added:
We're going down hill in thu
dairy industry already without hav
ing this rug pulled out from un

AFL Urges Repeal.
At one point Representative
Zimmerman, Democrat, of Missouri
asked Mr.. Murray if he did no

Meanwhile, the American Fedora

Readers Ask Questions

San Francisco: have been seeing
the word "whingding" in print lately.
Apparently it means a festivity or
celebration; but it isn't in my die
tionary. What is it and where did
it come from?-E. E.
Answer-Whingding (also spelled
wingding) is a slang word Of un-
known origin. 1t means about the
same as high -jinks, jamboree. whoop-
de-doo, blowout. Several columnists
used whingding in describing the
noisy goings-on at the national polit-
ical conventions.
Mishawaka: have two die
tionaries. Both give day-BAH-kl
as the only pronunciation for the
word debacle But I have heard it
otherwise. Will you please dis
cuss?-I. D. B.
Answer-The pronunciation day.
BAH-k,l is similar to but not exactly
like the French. Most dictionaries
prefer it. But the newer dictionaries
also sanction duh (my
phonetics).
Santa Monica: How did the term
disk Jockey" originate?-P. M. P.
Answer-It is radio slang for an
announcer who conducts programs
of recorded music interspersed with
commercial announcements. Disk"
of course, refers to phonograph
records.
Wauwatosa: Here is a clipping
about the Oak Ridge atomic plant.
1t speaks of training program in
the "unclear science" Am 1 seeing
things?-D. j.
Answer-"Unclear sciences" is a
typographical error for "nuclear
sciences. But, to my simple mind,
"unclear sciences" hits the nail right
on the head. The word is pro-
nounced: NYOO-klee-er; or: MOO
klee-er.
Los Angeles: Recently you wrote
"* both easy to understand, read
and use" My impression Is that
both" was incorrect since more
than two words were modified by
It'll. A. C.
Answer-Strictly speaking, you are
right. But, as Merriam Webster
points out, both is sometimes fol-
