Oleo Tax Repeal Bill's
Fate Seen Hinging on
Senate Policy Group
By Chalmers M. Roberts
The fate of the House-approved
bill to repeal the Federal taxes on
oleomargarine today appears to be
up to the nine-man Senate Repub
lican Policy Committee.
Two days of public hearings on
the bill were completed yesterday
by the Senate Finance Committee,
with every indication of committee
approval. Chairman Millikin said
the committee will meet in closed
session tomorrow and may begin
consideration of the bill.
The Senator would not say when
he expects a committee vote on
the bill. Questioning of witnesses
during the hearing, however, made
it clear to observers that a big
majority of the 13-man committee
favors repeal.
Problem of Priority.
The real problem facing marga
rine backers is to get the bill to
the Senate floor before the ad
journment stampede. Bills are
given priority by the majority
Policy Committee, three of whose
nine members are on the Finance
Committee as well.
Besides Senator Millikin Sena- i
tors Taft of Ohio and Hawkes ofj
New Jersey, both Policy Committee
members, are on the Finance Com
mittee an both have indicated ap
proval of the repeal move. Sen
ator Taft, however, has told re
porters he is not certain the
margarine bill can be put on the
Senate s already crowded schedule
before adjournment, assuming Con- j
gress quits for the two national
party conventions.
At yesterday’s committee hearing,
18 witnesses appeared most of them
opposing any modification of the
present taxes and license fees.
One surprise witness, Minnesota
State Senator Ancher Nelson, told
the committee that he believes “the
butter people have lost this fight
on the tax.”
One of the last witnesses was Leo
Peters, the Chicago inventor of the
plastic bag in which much mar
garine is now sold. The bag con
tains a color capsule so the color
can be mixed into the margarine
more easily.
Kepeats si sale uner.
Mr. Peters repeated the offer he
made before the House Agriculture
Committee last March: He would
sell his lucrative patent rights for
$1, if only the margarine manufac
turers would agree never again to
sell colored margarine. He said the
whole fight to repeal the taxes
sprang from his invention and the
competitive upset it caused among
margarine makers.
Strongest words came from Glen
M. Householder of Brattleboro, Vt„
representing the Purebread Cattle
Association. He said repeal would
(1) bring “an era of oleomargarine
bootlegging” to make prohibition
days "seem mild and harmless by
comparison,” <2) have “as devastat
ing an effect on the morale of the
American dairymen as did the drop
ping of the first atomic bomb on the
morale of people of the Japanese
Empire” and <3) leave American
agriculture in a weakened condi
tion. and “victorious America has
never come to grips with a power
backed by the agricultural resources
of Russia.”

Meetings Fail to Settle
Packing House Strike
•y the Associated Press
CHICAGO. May 19—Federal con
ciliators kept trying today to effect
a settlement of the 63-day Nation
wide meat strike but packers and
striking CIO packing house workers
were silent on the progress of their j
negotiations.
There were reports that the union
was ready to accept the original
company wrage offer of 9 cents an
hour increase but it objected to pos
sible discharges. The union struck
March 16 in a demand for an in
crease of 29 cents an hour.
After last night's meetings by the
conciliators with both sides and in
Joint sessions, representatives of the
major packers and union officials
refused to comment. Frank Walsh,
Federal mediator, said: "There’s
nothing further on the books for
tonight, but that doesn't mean we
wont have further meetings with
the packers and the union tomor
row.”
Attending the sessions yesterday
was Gov. Luther Youngdahl of
Minnesota, who last week called
out the National Guard to reopen
the violence-ridden stockyards in
South St. Paul, Newport and Albert
Lea, Minn. He returned to the Twin
Cities late last night without com
menting on the Chicago meetings,
but said he would make a statement
today. ;
me conciliators neia sessions yes
terday with representatives of Ar
mour & Co., Cudahy Packing Co.
and Wilson & Co. A proposal by
Swift & Co. on Monday to end the
strike was rejected by the union.
Swift suggested the union accept
the 9-cent offer and order strikers
back to work, and let the grievance
procedure provided for in the union
contract determine whether strikers
who had not been rehired had been
justly discharged.
Ralph Helstein, union president,
rejected the “discharge clause,” as
serting the packers “want to fire all
the officers of the union.”
Tavern Keeper Indicted
BALTIMORE, May 19 (TP;.—Wil
liam B. Strickler, jr., operator oi a
tavern in Northeast Baltimore, was
indicted by a Federal grand jury
yesterday on charges of evading
S37.334.48 in income taxes.
BATON ROUGE LA.—NEW LOUISIANA SENATOR APPOINTED—William Feazel (second from

Long to fill the Senate vacancy created by the death of Senator John H. Overton. Shown in the

Cottonseed 'Corner'
Charge Injected Into
Margarine Battle
By th* Associated Press
The issue of speculation was in
jected today into the hot congres
sional battle over oleomargarine.
Representative August H. Andre
sen, Republican, of Minnesota said
the Procter & Gamble Co. made a
profit of $338,400 in a two-way
corner of cottonseed oil used in the
butter substitute.
Mr. Andresen, chairman of a spe
cial House committee investigating
commodity speculation, said he had
information that the soap firm and
Best Foods Corp. cornered the en
tire May market in the cotton by
product. The result, he said, was a
price rise from 29.75 cents a pound |
to 43 cents between April 7 and
May 14.
Mr. Andresen called Benjamin
Nelson, vice president of Best Foods,
as a witness before the committee
today, but the hearing was post
poned until tomorrow.
Flovd M. Barnes, vice president of
Procter & Gamble, testified yester
day that his company bought 47
cars of cottonseed oil only because
supplies were getting “very tight”
due to a 21 per cent heavier demand
than last year.
He said the company later sold
10 carloads of refined oil at the
request of the New York Produce
Exchange. But Mr. Barnes said his
firm made only about $60,000 on the
deal.
A Washington trader. Dyke Cul
lum, president of the National Com
modity Corp., said he believes an
unnamed "group” has seized on the
recent House action in repealing
Federal oleo taxes to corner the
market “in the expectation of a
rise in margarine prices."
He said the "squeeze” will cost
housewives at least 19 cents a pound
in higher prices for oleomargarine.
Mr. Cullum’s name figured In a
Senate investigation into commodity
speculation last January. Senator
Elmer Thomas, Democrat, of Okla
homa said Mr. Cullum had handled
his investments in cotton “from time
to time.”_
Boy, 8, Missing From Home;
Overnight Found in School.
An 8-year-old student at the!
Kingsman Elementary School who!
was reported missing from home'
since noon Monday turned up yes- j
terday, of all places, in school.
The boy, Lester Ogletree, 118
Fifteenth street N.E., failed to re
turn home Monday night, his
mother, Mrs. Lois Ogletree, told
police. The boy’s aunt, Mrs. May
Lolar, found him yesterday when
she checked the school. *
Lester told his aunt he spent
Monday afternoon playing cowboys
and Indians and spent Monday night
with a friend._

Soldier Sentenced to 10 Days
For Killing Pet Cat With Kick
A Fort Belvoir soldier was sen
tenced yesterday in Alexandria Civil
and Police Court to serve 10 days in
jail for cruelty to animals in the
fatal kicking of a pet cat last
Thursday.
Pvt. Charles G. Johnson, 32, also
was fined $25 on a separate charge
of disorderly conduct and his com
panion, Sergt. Leroy W. Wright, 24,
also of Fort Belvoir, was fined $40
for disorderly conduct in connection
with the incident.
Johnson told the court he kicked
the cat after it jumped on his leg
in the 1000 block of King street.
The owner of the cat, Tony Sa
mortozopules, of 1008 King street,
testified that his cat died seconds
after she was kicked. The cat was
expecting kittens, he said. He said
he asked the soldier why he had
killed his pet. The court was told
an argument followed which
prompted the disorderly conduct
charges against the soldiers.
Substitute Judge Harry F. Ken
nedy said he could see no excuse
for such behavior. Johnson’s at
torney, Dennis Ayres, appealed the
jail sentence. Johnson’s bond pend
ing outcome of the appeal was set
at $250.__
Truman Intervenes
In Long-Lines Dispute
Over A. T. & T. Protest
The Government has stepped into'
the threatened strike of CIO long-|
lines telephone workers over the
protest of the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co.
President Truman late yesterday
issued an executive order creating a
special board of inquiry under the
Taft-Hartley Act to investigate the
dispute between the workers and
phone company which he said
“threatens to result in a work stop
page imperiling national health and
safety.”
Bartlett T. Miller, vice president
of A. T. & T.’s long-lines depart
ment, immediately issued a state
ment saying the company is "wholly
at a loss to understand” the Presi
dent's order.
"The company's opinion was not
sought,” he said. "The employes
affected comprise less than 5 per
cent of the total employes In the
telephone communications industry
and we find it difficult to believe
that any emergency exists that im
perils the national health and
safety.
"Neither the union nor the com
pany had broken off negotiations
and the company expected to con
tinue negotiations with the union
tomorrow.”
Mr. Truman did not name the
membership of the board at once,
although it was directed to make a

Eniwetok Atom Tests
Show Great Progress
In Developing Bomb
By fht Associated Press
HONOLULU, May 19. — The
United States has atomic weapons
vastly improved over the wartime
Hiroshima and Nagaski types.
Aside from this fleeting peek un
der secrecy’s curtain, the details are
hidden.
This was the gist of a news con
ference yesterday by top military
and scientific directors of a joint
task force on their return from
“Operation Sandstone” on isolated,
well-guarded Eniwetok in the Mid
Paciflc.
There they conducted the latest
series of atomic tests during the
last 45 days. Three weapons of im
proved design were tested. There
was no undersea test, nor any
bombs dropped from the air.
Whether guided missiles were used
cannot, for security reasons, be an
swered.
Hull Say* Bomb Worked.
Leaders of Task Force 7 evaded
all questions attempting to pinpoint
the latest American strides in
atomic weapons.
But Lt. Gen. John E. Hull, task
force commander, pointedly com
mented: “We got our answers. We
liked the answers.”
"These answers,” he said, “belong
to the United States Government
and, naturally, are not for publica
tion. It can be said, however, that
the bombs worked. We have proved
the weapon development work done
by the Los Alamos (N. Mex.) scien
tific laboratory during the past two
years.”
Navy Capt. James S. Russell, dep
uty director of the Atomic Energy
Commission’s division of military
application, pointed out that the
bombs exploded at Alamogordo, N.
Mex., Hiroshima and Nagasaki and
the two tested at Bikini in 1946
“were wartime weapons—designed
under extreme pressure.”

still 10,000 Moslems in the Indian

oh, so happy! happy!
But then the blow struck!
We were merrily dancing our way through our first laundering and
finding it a glorious adventure when suddenly everything went
black . . . when I came to, my beautiful bride was gone and nobody
knew where . . . and despite my protests, they took me home wit ou
my wonderous mate.
For three weeks I .lay in the bureau drawer . . . sick with anxiety
and fear, doubting that I'd ever see her again.
But one morning I heard angry words and the slam of a door!
Weakly raising my head, I saw my lord and master gently bearing my
bride to my side . . . her dainty little feet were torn and jagged . . .
but loving care soon brought her back to her own sweet self.
Our next trips together were joyful and gay . . . our new laundry,
which is Elite, of course, treats us firmly but gently and we return
to our home each time quite certain that with such care
we will live to a ripe old age.
