House Sovors, Okoys
Chicory Import Bill

While the Senate is tied in
knots by the civil rights debate
about the only sectional issue
stirring the House is the New
Orleans custom of putting
chicory in coffee.
That burning question came
to the surface on a bill to SuS-
pend for three years the tariff
duty on imports of crude chic
ory. House members eagerly
savored the measure yester-
day before sending it to the
Senate.
There was no discussion de-
lay in passing similar bills to
suspend or remove duties on
such prosaic things as tanning
extracts, istle fiber and certain
lathes used for shoe last rough
ing. Ways and Means Com
mittee Chairman Mills, Demo-
crat of Arkansas, skillfully ex-
planned everything - including
istle fiber. But he quickly
sought aid from Representa-
tive Boggs, Democrat of Loui-
siana, when a bipartisan attack
began to brew on chicory.
Representative Gross, Re-
publican of Iowa, wanted to

know why chicory had to be
imported. Mr.. Boggs said it
could be produced in Michigan,
but that the demand dropped
so much since World War II
the Nation-or at least New
Orleans-must. depend on im-
ports.
Representative Hoffman, Re,
publican of Michigan, asked
whether the chicory plant root
roasted for mixing with coffee
was IAN additiye or adultera-
ton" of coffee. Mr.. Boggs
denied the allegation. !
IF no chicory were allowed
in this country Representa-
tive Hays inquired, could any,
body get a drink of coffee in
New Orleans?" ftx
ooh, yes" Mr.. Boggs replied.
But everybody knows coffee
with chicory is the best in the
world"
There's some difference Of
opinion on that" Mr.. Hays
declared.
tOh. yes" Mr.. Boggs ad-
mitted, as the House cooled
off and passed the bill.
