3-Mon Subcommittee
For Concession Study

Appointment of a three-man
subcommittee to inquire into pub

was agreed on today by the House
Public Lands Committee.

his State to deliver a st. Patrick's

tract for the golf courses here
has not vet been drawn. He de-
clared Ascar Chapman. Under
secretary of the Interior. has
promised to let him know what
the proposed terms are before
entering into a contract for the

There should be a definite for

the proper method of handling
concessions. Mr.. Peterson de-
clared. The Interior Department
may be caught in a jam as to lack
of policy and in many instances
lack of funds to operate a facility.
The concessionaire, on the other
hand. does not know how long he
will be in possession many times,
and this complicates the situation.
Congress has never formulated q
direct policy with regard to con-
cessions.'
Representative Peterson said he

He gave two examples Of taxes
on residential property in Prince
Georges County compared with
District taxes. One example
showed residential property in
Prince Georges County taxed at
$187, against comparable District

Mr.. Dent said these comparisons

there had been an increase in

then the manufacture and saleof

The vote on this issue should
be EYES," Housewives who use
oleo will welcome the relief from

There is absolutely no reason why
oleo should not be colored, except,
of course, that the butter mono
