Milk Producer Group
Opposes Any Change
In Margarine Taxes

The National Cooperative Milk
Producers Federation today an
nounced it is opposed to "any change
whatsoever in the Federal taxes
of margarine because tax repeal
would undoubtedly result in great
damage to the dairy farmers of
the country.
Charles w. Holman, secretary OF
the federation, which includes more
than 100000 farm families in Al
States, told the House Agriculture
Committee sit is entirely conceiv-
able" that if the taxes are re-
pealed margarine manufacturer:
will raise the price to the public
He said the manufacturers thus
would receive many millions o.
profits which will be paid unneces.
sarily by consumers"
Calling butter the balance whee
of the dairy industry" Mr.. Holman
said repeal Of margarine take.
would bring disastrous conse.
quences" to dairymen and "curtai
the total quantity of dairy products
thereby bringing additional ills upor
the consumers both as to quantity
and COST"
Cites Bigger Farmers Share.
Mr.. Holman was the first witnes.
at today's hearing. the first of thre,
days assigned to opponents of thu
l8 tax repeal measures before thu
House committee.
i Mr. Holman said that 'it is no
to the American farmers interes
to have vegetable oil replace butter
because the farmers gets a mucl
, larger share of the consumer
butter dollar than of the consumer
oleomargarine dollar" Last yea1
he said, the farmers share Of tn
butter dollar was 76 per cent
whereas he got only 30 per cent o
the oleomargarine dollar.
4 Opponents were to have begun
testifying yesterday but additions

turned after nine weeks of testi-
n,ony before the grand jurors did
not specify the amount OF the
alleged fraud.
But. Frank H. Patton, special De-
partment of Justice prosecutor, said
the Government expects to prove
it was shortchanged at least 81 ,000,-
900 on s78,000,000 worth of war con-
tracts.
The indictments named the Erie
Basin Metal Products Co. OF Elgin,
H.; Henry M. and Murray w. Cars
son, Allen B. Gellman, Joseph T..
Weiss and Harry S. Click, all of

s53.634 in bribes with former Rep
resentative Andrew J. May, wartime
chairman of the House Military
Committee. All three are free pend
ing appeals on their sentences,
which range from eight months to
two years.
The five men indicted held vari-
GUS Offices in Erie Basin, the Inter-
state Machinery Co. of Chicago and
the Illinois Watch Case Co. at
Elgin.
The indictment set out that under
the Renegotiation Act of l943 they
were required to make financial
statements and give cost and profit
data to the price adjustment section
of the Chemical Warfare Service
in Baltimore.
They conspired to defraud the
United States Government by
falsehoods, chicanery and misrepre-
sentations," said the first count Of
the indictment.
Specific Charges Listed.
They induced the Government ito
accept a less amount of money
under renegotiation of certain war
contracts" than it would be en-
titled to If it was not hoodwinked
by the defendants deceitful con-
duct" the indictment said.
The count complained specifically:
They agreed to use Erie money to
put up new buildings and additions
for Illinois Watch Case and charge
it off to the Government.
They agreed the Garssons and
certain of their friends and rela-
tives" would get funds from Erie
Basin and Interstate by false claims
for salaries, services and travel and
on false invoices and termination
claims by subcontractors.
They agreed Henry Carson was
to get a $50,000 loan from Interstate
and pay it back with $50,000 over
charge on machinery being sold to
Interstate by a third party.
They agreed to hide and reduce
the combines profits by overstating
costs and expenses.
The other counts charged that
items totalling $l36,23O had been
improperly charged to expenses of
the company in the defendants re-
negotiation statements.

Anti-Truman Bill
In Virginia Drops Bal
To Name on Ballot
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 1.-THE
Senate Privileges and Elections
Committee today amended the Gov
ernor's anti Truman bill to allow
the Presidents name to appear on
the November ballot without re-
course to a petition and reported
the bill to the Senate.
Chairman Robert c. Vaden of
Pittsylvsnia announced that the
favorable vote on the bill was
unanimous. The measure, already
passed by the House, now goes to
the Senate floor.
Mr.. Vaden said he had decided to
let it follow the normal routine and
that it wouldn't come to floor
vote until tomorrow at the earliest.
The amendment permitting the
automatic placing of President Tru-
mans name on the ballot, it was
understood. was written in with
the knowledge and approval of
Gov. Tuck.
Proposed by Breeden.
Administration forces felt that the
amendment removed chief point
of friction while still carrying out
the main intention of the legisla-
ton. That main intent is to hold
back Virginia's electoral votes as an
inducement for louder voice in
national party councils.
The committee tackled only two
amendments onto the controversial
measure.
The one guaranteeing President
| Trumans name a place on the bal
lot if he receives the national con-
vention nomination at Philadelphia
was proposed by Senator Edward l..
Breeden, jr., at a hearing before the
committee yesterday. The other
amendment simply writes in the
words ARE expected" in the section
of the bill referring to how State
electors shall vote if instructed by
the State Democratic convention.
! Other amendments. including one
proposed by Republican Senator S.
Floyd Landreth of GalaX to write in
specifically that State Republican
electors would be expected to sup
port their national party nominee,
we're rejected by the committee.
i To Be Two EIector States.
The committee action putting the
national party's nominee on the bal
lot eliminated one of the most hotly
contested features of the Governor
plan. 1t means that there will be
two states of Democratic electors
offered to Virginia voters in Novem-
Der if Mr.. Truman is the nominee
i The ballot also will carry two
Democratic Party designations-no1
exactly similar-something on the
order of National Democratic
Party" and Democratic Party o.
Virginia,'S should the Presiden
survive the opposition of Southern
Democrats at the Philadelphia con
vention.
The election bill itself. as it passec
, the House, would enable the vir
ginia State Democratic Convention
, to veto the national nominee ant
instruct it's electors for anothe
candidate. 1t would permit the ma
tional nominee-and any other per
son-to get on the ballot by having
petition signed by 1000 qualified
voters in his behalf
