Otviously Mr. Holanan was referring to attempts to lower excise and other 

 taxes on margarine and its manufacture. Ity only comment is that farmers, in years 

 to come, will have to "hang together" or they are likely to hang separately, and 

 we can't afford to encourage dissension between groups within agriculture. Everyone 

 will have to be broad-minded and work for the welfare of farmers as a whole. That 

 probably will mean doing what is beet for society as a whole also. 



Tire situation eased . The Office of Price Administration annoimced that , 

 tires made chiefly from reclaimed rubber may be bought by motorists heretofore 

 eligible only for used tires. It also removed rationing restrictions on reccpping 

 tires for commercial vehicles with truck-type camelback.
