The Food and Drug Administra-

asked Congress for nearly 81 mil

The request was prompted by
fears that when Federal taxes on

will be widespread substitutions
OF colored margarine for butter by
"unscrupulous people" seeking a
quick profit.
There will be a price spread OF
nearly 40 cents a pound between

the Federal Trade Commission.
Senator Lucas. the Democratic
leader. told reporters he win talk
to Mr.. Truman at the regular
White House legislative confer
ence Monday night about the
Senate Commerce Commissions
rejection Of Mr.. Hutchinson S
nomination.
The committee voted 5-to-3 be-
hind closed doors yesterday to
recommend to the Senate that it
reject the appointment of Mr..
Hutchinson. who ran against Sen
ator Byrd for the Democratic
Senate nomination in Virginia in
1946.
Chairman johnson, Democrat,
Of Colorado refused to say how
committee members voted. He
announced, however, that five had
voted to reject the nomination,
three to approve it, two answered
present and three were absent.
1t was reported that Senators
Myers, Democrat. of Pennsylvania: !:
Mcfarland, Democrat, of Arizona,
and Mcmahon, Democrat, of Con-
necticut supported the nominee,
while Senators Lyndon johnson,
Democrat. of Texas: Magnuson,
Democrat, Of Washington, and
O'Conor, Democrat. of Maryland
were listed as absent. Senators
Capehart. Republican. of Indiana.
and Hunt, Democrat, of Wyoming
were reported voting present"
On the basis of these reports
the five mo" votes were cast by
Chairman johnson and four Re-
publican Senators, Tobey Of New
Hampshire, Brewster of Maine,
Bricker Of Ohio and Williams OF
Delaware.
Senator Byrd and Senator
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia
have announced they will fight
Mr.. Hutchinson's confirmation,
contending that he is not qualified.
Mr.. Truman seldom gives up on
a nominee until he is thoroughly
convinced that confirmation hasn't
a chance.
Senator Tobey carries on, mean
while, a one-man criticism of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion in connection with the Pres
ident's reappointment OF George E
Sterling to that board.
Mr.. Sterling was summoned for
further hearing today for what
Senator Tobey promised would be
a searching examination which
would bring out something that
doesn't smell so good"
Senator Tobey said he wasn't
criticizing Mr.. Sterling's fitness for
the job. but was complaining
against the commission as a whole.
The New Hampshire Senator
said he has 141 questions about
what he called engineering blum
ders and other commission actions
which he said caused heavy dam
age to the television industry.

MYTH-You can take with a
grain Of salt all those stories
about Government jobs in
Washington being overrun by
fellow Missourians of President
Truman.
Missouri's Federal employment
quota is 1909 jobs. However,
only 1,412 Missourians are on
the FEDERAL payroll.
In other words, Missouri is
one of the few States that has
not filled all of the Government
jobs allotted to it.
