Reduction in federal motorist taxes urged by major groups

Washington May 22 pressed for a halt to federal excise taxes on gasoline tires lubricating oil and automotive parts. A petition filed with the president and Congress asks discontinuance of these taxes totaling about 1 250 000 000 annually. Organizations led by the National Highway Users Conference include AAA National Grange Farm Bureau and American Trucking Associations among others. The tax on gasoline would lapse June 24 and other motorist taxes on July 8 unless Congress acts.
