Senate forecast approves oleo tax repeal act
Senate finance chair Walter F. George predicted quick approval of the House passed oleo margarine tax repeal bill. The measure would end federal taxes on oleo and allow pre colored yellow margarine in interstate commerce, with restaurants to serve triangular pats and label the product. Hearings are expected soon, despite dairy state opposition backing a competing tax repeal by restricting shipments. The report also notes an unusual Saturday session to push Marshall Plan second installment and defeats on spending cuts.
