An immediate fight over repeal

the Senate starting tomorrow.
1t will come with the introduc-
ton of series of amendments to
a House approved bill repeating
Federal taxes on oleomargarine.
A group of dairy-State Senators
agreed at meeting yesterday to
offer the amendments as a part
of their strategy in the bitter fight
against the House bill.
"The dairy supporters" said
Senator Wiley, Republican, of Wis

completely unfair for the Federal
oleo taxes to be repealed "a mat
ter to which they are agreed
unless simultaneously there were
repealed the host of nuisance war

American consumers"
There was quick reaction from
Senate Democratic leaders and
supporters of the oleomargarine
bill.
I'VE are going to oppose on Our
side these excise tax amend
ments," Senate Majority Leader
Lucas said. Its not that We are
opposed to any repeal of these
taxes. But repeal as a part of the
oleomargarine bill might leopard
ize not only the oleo bill but also
any excise tax repeal measure"

At the same time, other views

of meeting its demands, were ex-
pressed by:

Ohio, who Joined with Senator
George in approving the intention
of both houses to adopt the omni-
bus bill.
Opposes Rider Plan.
In discussing the move to repeal
wartime excise taxes. Senator
George said:
II don't think we ought to put
emphasis on the excise taxes alone,
if We are to have the expanding
economy the President talks
about, and the general effect of
the readIustment should be on the
down side. not the up side"
In both his State of the Union
and economic messages the Presi-
dent has referred in general terms
to tax revisions that would yield
a moderate" amount of additional
revenue, but his specific tax recon-
mendati tions are to be submitted
separately later on.
Although Senator George wants
q prompt decision on excise
changes, so that business will not
be "stymied" by uncertainty, he
does not favor doing it by a rider
on the oleomargarine tax repeal
bill.

Both Senators pointed out that
1t will give Congress and the coun-
try chance to look at the whole

income at one time. Senator
George said, you cannot get that
picture when the appropriation
