Present difficulty, he said, would
be to find the land at cost not

urged more money for Alaska

1.-THE great difficulty" he
pointed OUT has been that the

been asking for sufficient funds,
SO in my judgement. the fault
has not been with Congress. 1t
was not until this year that the

Police today were looking for

roughly at $1,000 from the Ward

the thieves apparently spent some
time in the store, selecting narcotics
used by drug addicts and ignoring
others. Cosmetics, cameras and ra-

Senate Minority Leader Barkley
told reporters the chances for tax
reduction this year are not more
than $685." He made the state
ment after a meeting of the Senate
Democratic Policy Committee, at
which the tax issue was discussed
but no definite Democratic program
agreed on.
While these leaders were leaving
the fate of the tax bill in un-
certainty, however, sideline observers
at the Capitol were convinced that
with national election coming up
there is a strong likelihood some tax
cut will be pushed through at this
session.

ton by 10 votes more than the two
thirds required to override a veto
The hackers Of the Republican plan
are not that strong in the Senate

ride a veto in the Senate also, if
they scale the tax cuts down to q

Plea for Margarine

A recommendation by Roland M
Brennan, District purchasing officer
that the Commissioners indorss
legislation to eliminate the tax or
oleomar0Rine was taken under ad'
vjsement by the city heads today
after Commissioner Guy Mason hao
indicated he did not approve of the
idea.
Mr.. Mason said he did not think
the District should become involved
in the dispute over the margarine
tax, which he described as a strict
ly national ISSUE"
Mr.. Brennan had urged that if the
10-cent-a-pound tax on colored
margarine were removed, District
institutions which now buy mar
garine instead of butter would be
saved both time and money. The
purchasing officer explained "a
great deal of kitchen labor and ex-
pense" is involved in coloring the
white margarine which, because OF
the larger tax on colored margarine
the District must buy for most OF
its institutions.
Mr.. Brennan said his Office has
discontinued the purchase of but
ter until the price of butter comes
down to figure within reason"
The District has contracted tc
purchase, in this fiscal year, 37,75C
pounds Of uncolored oleomargarine

pounds of colored oleomargarine al

IcoIIier's Battles 10 Move
Site Of Florida Libel Trial
BY the Associated Press

TALLAHASSEE. Fla, Feb. Sat
torneys for Golfers Magazine have
asked that trial of Gov. Millard
Caldwell's $685. 900 libel suit against
the publication be moved to Gaines
vile. Then charged that Gov. Cald-
well has IAN undue influence over
the minds of the inhabitants of this
capital city"
The petition for change of venue
in the case was accompanied by six
almost identical affidavits of Leon
County residents contending Golfers
could not obtain fair trial in Talla-
hassee. This affidavits pointed out
that Tallahassee is less than 60 miles
from Madison where Jesse James
Payne, Negro awaiting trial for at
tempted rape of a 5-year-old white
girl, was taken from Jail and shot in
October, 1945.
The Governor alleges he was libeled
by Golfers in an editorial comment
ing on his statements about the
Payne case.
The affidavits for Golfers said that
because the Governor has promised
to give all proceeds from the litiga-
ton to Florida A. and M. College for
Negroes here, residents of Leon
County feel that any verdict in the
Governors favor will rebound to
their benefit by providing funds for
new construction and improvements
and otherwise adding to the local
economic prosperity"
A date and place for the trial
probably will be set by United States
