ePetition Tactics By EARL RICHERT

Halleck (R. Ind.) today became the key figure in the butter vs. margarine battle here. Several Congressman reported the Republican leader was going “all-out” to defeat the drive to get the necessary 218 signatures on a petition to force a margarine tax repeal bill out of the dairycontrolled House Agriculture Committee, The petition now has 183 names. Although he was noncommittal about his activities, Rep, Halleck said there was no secret about his opposition to the use of discharge petitions to force bills out of committees, , He said legislative chaos could result from widespread use of discharge petitions. The present drive is to overrule the Agriculture Committee which voted 16-to-10 to shelve the 18 margarine repeal bills before it. Principle at Stake Rep. Halleck said his opposition to the margarine discharge petition had nothing to do with the butter vs. margarine issue itself. His stand is one often taken by House leaders. Minority Leader Sam Rayburn (D, Tex.), former House Speaker, has never signed a discharge petition, including the current - petition, although he strongly favors repeal of the margarine taxes. He will not say flatly, however, that he will not sign this one, Several pro-margarine Republican Congressmen: said they

would be surprised if Mr, Halleck made a determined effort to defeat the petition because they have been assured by House Speaker Joseph Martin that the
