Hoffa Threatens 12 State Trucking Strike Over Ohio Tax
James R. Hoffa, president of the AFL-Midwest Teamsters Union Conference, warned of a strike set for January 15 by 1,000 trucking firms to protest Ohio's highway use tax. He claimed the levy adds about 1,200 dollars per driver annually and could halt all truck traffic through Ohio if picket lines form. The tax, approved last June, applies to trucks operating in Ohio from 12 nearby states with permits, prompting possible reciprocity cancellations on license plates.

Americans Will Buy 30 Million Christmas Trees
The Forest Service estimates about eight of ten American households will spend around 50 million dollars this holiday season on roughly 30 million Christmas trees. Estimates, likely low, rely on 1951 data as industry surveys paused for economy. Most trees come from 11 Northeast and Middle Atlantic states, three Lake states, five Pacific Northwest states, and Canada, with about 9 million shipped from Canada annually. A dozen firms control most production and distribution, contracting with woodland owners for roadside or rail deliveries.
