State border barriers attacked by auto group protest
Russell E. Singer of the American Automobile Association told the monopoly committee that state border barriers impede interstate travel funded by federal dollars. He named four barrier types including tourist permits and caravanning laws, citing Arizona through Utah as examples and estimating travel spending last year at $5.0 billion lost to barrier states. Philip Salisbury of the National Federation of Sales Executives argued removal would boost national income and living standards, citing Wisconsin oleomargarine laws affecting dairy and cottonseed oil markets.
