th!f^?INGT0^ The government reported today
^cigarette-smoking is on the upswing again.
The Agriculture Department said
in a publication on the tobacco
situation that domestic cigarette
consumption amounted to 392 bil
lion last year, a 2.S per cent in
crease from 1955.
The department also predicted
;hat cigarette-smoking would reach
i record high this year. The pre
vious high came in 1952, when
iomestic consumption totaled 394
>illion.
The department said consump
ion of cigarettes per person • 15
'ears and older in 1956 totaled
,426 (171 packages). This was one!
>er cent more than in 1955.
The 1956 output of chewing to
iacco and snuff was about 5 per
ent below 1955. The department
iredicted the use of chewing to
acco is likely to continue its long
Ime decline, but that coneump
lon of snuff is holding steady.
The publication also showed that
ovemment revenue collectors took
i more on cigarette taxes than
Jbacco farmers were paid for their
rop.
While the 1956 tax tak* rose to
record $2,185,000,000—4 per cent
bove 1955—cash receipts to grow
rs last year dropped 6 per cent
slow the 1955 to $1,151,000,000.
The department predicted a
irther spread in 1967, because
: reages for some kinds of tobacco ;
ive been cut to reduce surpluses.
Federal taxes last year amounted 1
about 1.6 billion dollars, second <
Uy to 1952. The state tax yield <
t a new high of more than 600 J

grown tobacco is exported tax

Beck's Lawyer
Expects His
Indictment Soon
WASHINGTON (If? _ The
House Labor Committee
voted today to investigate
union welfare funds to pre
vent their “pillaging” by
racketeers.
T’he House committee’s decision
came as the Senate Rackets Com
mittee recessed temporarily its
investigation of the giant Team
sters Union.
Chairman Graham A. Barden
* C-NC) said the House investiga
tion would be no "sideshow'’ to
the Senate inquiry.
Nor, he added, will it be "punt
tive" to labor.
Barden said the purpose will be
to draft legislation to protect the
rights of workers in welfare funds
to which they ars required to con
tribute. In many states, he said,
these funds are inadequately po
liced. He said these funds total
perhaps more than 35 billion dol
ars.
"We want to get a Job done that
I think needs to be done. ’ Barden
said.
Beck Expects Trial
The Senate investigation reached
a climax this week when Team
sters Boss Dave Beck refused on
grounds of possible self-incrimina
hf&n t« answer charges that he
“may have nitSSa^fcoprf^eiF
more than $332,000 of union money.
Beck said in claiming the pro
tection of the Fifth Amendment
that he expects to be prosecuted
on income tax charges. When he
is, Beck said, he will answer in
court questions he refused to an
swer before the Senate committee.
