From Committee
BY Cholmers M. Roberts

Oleomargarine tax repeaao
hackers won a smashing 235-toso
l21 victory in the first House tess,
today on the move to end thEa
62-year-old Federal levies on
margarine.
The nearly 2-to-1 vote, recorded
On a roll call to discharge the Agrieos
culture Committee from further
consideration of the Rivers bill, in
dicated ultimate House victory for
the margarine group.
The final vote may not come until
Wednesday, however, as three hours
of general debate began after the
test vote this afternoon and men,
bers will be permitted to speak for
five minutes each after that period.
Since many margarine hackers will
be away tomorrow for the Pannsyl-
vania primary, the vote probably
will go over until Wednesday.
Amendments to Be Sought.
Voting of numerous amendments
is not expected to begin until to-
morrow or Wednesday.
On the motion to bring the bill
to the House floor, thus overruling
The Agriculture Committee, which
had pigeonholed 10 tax repeal meas
ures, 94 Republicans joined l39
Democrats and the two American
Labor Party members. Voting
against were 1l2 Republicans and
only nine Democrats.
Voting with the majority to dis
| charge the committee was Repre-
sentative Bell, Republican of Mary
land. while voting against was Rep
resentative Smith, Democrat of Vir-
ginia.
The vote had been forced by the
signatures of 218 House members
to petition to discharge the COM
mittee. The petition was originated
by Representative Rivers, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina, whose bill
would end the present 10-cent-a-
pound tax on colored margarine
and the accent tax on the un-
colored type.
During the 20 minutes of debate
preceding the vote Chairman Hope,
Republican, of Kansas said that
the Agriculture Committee had held
fair hearings on the tax repeal bills
and there did not seem to him to
be any case for discharging the
committee.
Representative Taber, Republican,
OF New York said that "if this
proposed measure we're not so seri-
Gus 1t would be ridiculous" He said
people are deceiving themselves by
buying margarine colored to initiate
butter.
Accuses Dairy Lobby.
On the other side, Representative
Buck, Republican, of New York said
the bill would not be here today
had the dairy lobby not tricked the
Congress some 60 years ago." He
referred to House rule made at
that time which refers margarine
bills to the Agriculture Committee,
even though they may be tax meas
ures
Other speakers for repeal were
Representatives Abernethy, Demo-
crat. OF Mississippi; Mitchell, Re-
publican. of Indiana; SABBATH, Dem.
ocrat, Of Illinois; Crosser. Demo,

FRANKFURT, Germany, April

way toward unified country was

A similar defeat for communism
was indicated in Bavaria. First re-

Nearly every trailer required a
new roof last year because of

Complete lack of playground

inflicting damage on buildings

costs are high, despite rentals

Transportation to the plants
or to the Loop is 25 cents each
way. Fuel oil last year cost most
families 20 to 25 cents per gal
Ion despite a prevailing price of
16 cents in the city. This was
due to the refusal by oil COM
panies to deliver to such an out
lying location when oil was
scarce. Therefore trailer tenants
carried their own from commu-
nifty gas stations at the higher
price.
Acquisition of the trailers
grew out of a CHA request at
the close of the war for Federal
funds for housing. The govern
ment offered, instead, $500 war
time housing units, 1000 of

Who laid an egg,
Eastman, or was
thot you eaekIinq?

CINCINNATI (FP) = T h e
AFL should bear in mind the
old saying about not killing the
goose that lays the golden egg,
Max Eastman, veteran author
and former revolutionary So
cialist, told the AFL convention
here Nov. 10.
He said capitalism, like the
goose, has laid lots of golden
eggs in the past, adding: Il
think she is the only one who
ever will. So my advice to the
AFL is this-grab all the eggs
you can, but don't kill the
goose"
Eastman was introduced by
AFL President William Green
as an old friend of the AFL ano
an opponent of communism. He
plugged his magazine, The New
Leader, and appealed for finan-
cial support. Then he delivered
"a lengthy speech against Russia
and communism.
