This sturdy looking bumper and grille combination graces the front
end of the complete line of 1950 Buick automobiles. Other distinctive fea
tures are the full taper-through front fenders, wrap-around bumpers with
bomb-shaped bumper guards housing the parking light and direction signal
indicators in front, and back-up lights in the rear, and identifying name
plates on the front fenders. The cars have completely new .bodies, and a
new and more powerful engine is under the graceful hood of the new

Butter Vs. Oleo
Nears Showdown
In Next Session
The battle of butter vs. oleo will
throw the Senate into a long
showdown fight when Congress
comes back next month.
First business in the Senate will
be the bill to repeal the 63-year
old taxes on margarine, A
powerful bloc of dairy state sen¬
ators will oppose it to the last.
The fight may go on for weeks.
Pro-oleo forces, who pushed the
repeal measure through the House
in 1948 and again this year, are
! confident of winnng in the Sen
[ ate, The too. House-approved bill has
been okayed by the Senate fi
nance committee. It would re¬
pear all federal taxes on marga¬
rine. There is a levy of 10 cents
a pound on colored margarine.
And one-fourth of a cent a pound
on the uncolored product.
Other tax provisions require
manufactures to pay $600, whole¬
sale dealers $480 to handle colored
oleo and $200 for uncolored, and
retailers $48 for colored and $6
for uncolored.
Restaurant Notices
The bill before the Senate
would require restaurants to post
plain notices if they serve marga¬
rine and to serve it only in tri¬
angular pieces.
Congress first voted federal
taxes on oleo in 1886. They were
increased in 1902 on yellow mar¬
garine and changed again in 1931
to cover all colored margarine.
The oleo forces fought back al¬
most every year but got nowhere
with Congress until wartime
shortages and high butter prices
put margarine in homes that
never had used it before.
As margarine sales went up its
quality improved. New packag¬
ing, flavoring and coloring
methods—plus intensive advertis¬
ing—won over many housewives.
Always Cheaper
But more than anything else, it
was always cheaper.
For the years 1935-39, the av
earge American consumed only
2.9 pounds of oleomargarine a
year and 16.7 of butter.
By 1948, oleo consumption had
risen to an average of 6.1 pounds
per year for each person while
butter had dropped to 10.
This year, however, with but¬
ter prices going back down, mar¬
garine consumption is afso shirk¬
ing. Agriculture department of¬
ficials estimate the 1949 per capita
average will be 10.8 pounds of
butter and 5.7 of margarine.
In the 1935-39 period, only .2
per cent of margarine sold was
colored. By 1948, the percentage
was up to 9.1. This year, the
Agriculture department estimates,
it will rise to 17.7.
Improved Quality
This is attributed to the im¬
proved quality of the colored
product, to action in several
states removing barriers against
it, and to the fact that more re¬
tailers are willing to buy the $48
federal license because they can
now be sure of a profit on it.
Cottonseed and soybean oils al¬
so have complicated the political
picture. Both are main sources
of margarine materials. The
spread of soybean growing has
put many lawmakers on the spot
because their states are now
strong on both dairying and soy¬
bean production.
The federal margarine excise
taxes are bringing in about $16,
000,000 a year, according to
Treasury estimates.
The move to repeal them will
■ touch off strong efforts in the
Senate to repeal all wartime ex¬
cise tax increases. Dairy state
senators will use that attack in
their showdown fight to beat
down the oleo repealer.
They also will try to put over
their own compromise, sponsored
in the last session by 26 senators.
It would repeal the federal taxes
but outlaw interstate shipment of
colored margarine.
The number of homes today
that are without mechanical re¬
frigeration are about equally di¬
vided between those with ice
boxes and those with no refrig¬
eration.
