Two gasoline companies today
raised the wholesale price OF gaso-

Both the ESQ Standard Oil Co.

BY the Assoeioted Press

The House Ways and Means
Committee voted today to cut in
half-from 20 per cent to 10
the Federal excise tax on tickets
to movies and sport events.
The committee took the action
in approving another $240 mil
lion slash in the excise tax list.
This brought the total of tenta-
lively approved cuts to $575 mil
lion.
This is far in excess of the $3.50
million reduction President Tru-
man had proposed for that part
of the list which the committee
has considered. Mr.. Truman has
threatened a veto of tax-cutting
Legislation if his recommendations
are ignored.
The committee yet may approve
other slashes or around $500 mil
lion in transportation and COM
munications excises to bring the
total well over 81 billion, far be-
yond the total $655 million excise
cut limit Mr.. Truman set.
The committees cuts on admis-
sion excises would total abou,
$3.50 million.
In addition to slashing the gen.
eral admissions levy in half, the
committee decided to exempt com
pletely from any tax the ticket:
to nonprof1t, educational, anc
charitable shows, to county fairs
symphonies and such.
However, a 10 per cent levy
would be collected on the tickets
to college sports events, as we'll as

there was no connection between

by the Romanians as retaliation.

The New York office has been
operating under the name of the
Office of the Romanian CONNER

at 26 West seth street, in New
York, has been concerned largely
with collection Of prepaid customs

cation here. Secretary of State
Acheson said. "It Is not acceptable
to the United States for the Ro-

1T is the view of the United

added. "that the activities of the

unauthorized extension of the con-
sular functions of the Romanian

In another note to the Roman

that the Romanian accusations
