Lineup Of Committee
Indicates Bill 10 End
0Ieo Tax but Ban Color
By Chalmers M. Roberts

Fate Of oleomargarine tax re.
peal legislation in the House Agri-
culture Committee appears to be
in the hands of six freshmen
Democratic members with indi-
cations today that their votes will
bring out bill banning the sale of
colored oleo.
The six key men are Repre-
sentatives Polk Of Ohio, Sutton Of
Tennessee, O'Sullivan of Ne
braska, Davies of New York, White
of California and Lind of Pennsyl-
vania.
All were questioned by Star
reporter. Mr.. White said he Is for
outright tax repeal. Mr.. Sutton
and Mr.. Polk said they are for
some sort of repeal but would not
commit themselves on the key
color issue, although some of their
colleagues expect them to vote to
ban yellow. Mr.. Davies is frankly
for banning colored oleo. Mr..
Lind would not commit himself.
Mr.. O'Sullivan said he is not sure
but that the tax repeal drive Is in
some way connected with an inter-
national cartel plan to swamp this
country with oils from peanuts
grown by the British in Africa.

OF the 81 other COMMITTEES
members, 19 were on the COM
mittee when a vote was taken a
year ago and all but Representa-
tive Edwin A. Hall of New York
cast votes. OF the 18 voting, nine
Republicans and one Democrat
voted for butter while eight Dem
ocrats voted for margarine. There
are two other Democrats this year
who were in Congress last year,
although they we're not on the
committee. Both signed the petit
ton which brought the repeal
measure to the floor, despite the
committees pigeonholing vote.

old members will change their
minds, it appears that those on
the record are evenly divided.

The butter lobby this year has

may provide an "out" for worried
members to beat back the straight

opposed any tax repeal. Now
they favor tax repeal, but with it

wives could no longer go to the

Should the committee report

against colored oleo, an effort to
amend it on the House floor is a
