NEW GAS TAX READY

Hall Wallace, director of the oil
and gas severance tax divisions of
the State Tax Commission, reveal
ed that a brand new set of forms
is being worked up for payment
of the new gas severance tax,
which becomes effective July L.
The new tax law, set at rate OF
six per cent of the sale price
the same as the oil tax-replaces
the two per cent sales tax, which
heretofore applied. Report forms
from well owners similar to the
forms used for oil al reports.
which were first planned. have
been discarded since many factors
enter into measuring gas that do
not apply to oil, Mr.. Wallace said.
However, he said all producers in
the state will have the new forms
before time for the first reports.

IT DIDN'T seem possible that
the delegates could show as much
enthusiasm again within a few
minutes-but they did, when

of the press section stood on the
tables and applauded, ignoring
heat, klieg lights, and fatigue.
The greatest display of all was

lace, with Sen. Glen H. Taylor
as his running mate, was nomi-
mated for President of the United
States by the 3,240 delegates who
founded the new Progressive
Party.
The nominations-and the un-
forgettable mass rally at Shibe
Park at which Wallace and Tay-
lor accepted them-caused the
most dramatic moments of the
historic founding convention.
The hard task of building a
permanent party organization
was tackled in important but less
spectacular sessions by delegates
who came from every state in
the Union, as well as the District
of Columbia and the two terri
tories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
THE tone of the convention
was set Friday night when JOS
iah w. Gitt, publisher of the lib
eral Gazette & Daily of York,
Pa, welcomed the delegates.
I'VE are NOT going to be di-
verted from our historically
necessary task by fear or timidity
because of hYsteria whipped up
by reaction. or smoke screens or
loud whispers created or circu-
lated by interruptions influences
which would have one believe
that love of peace and liberty
and following the dictates of
ones conscience is not in the
American tradition"
What followed bore him out.
TEN speakers, each represent
ing different segment of the
population, explained why they
needed new parry. The loudest
applause-and shouts that "Jim
Crow must go!"-greeted Shirley
Graham, famed biographer, who
spoke for the Negro people.
THE cow ntion cheering
reached its first climax with
delegations parading down the
packed aisles, waving their states
standards, after the convention
unanimously agreed to accept the
suggestion of c. B. Baldwin, cam
paign manager, that the new
party be called Progressive" be-
cause 81 state organizations al :
ready had used that name.
And the delegates shouted
themselves hoarse - and then
shouted more-after listening to
fiery speeches by Rep. Vito Mar
cantonio (ALP, N.Y0, Rep. Leo
Isaacson (ALP, N.Y., and others
who denounced the arrests of II
leaders of the Communist Party
as threat to the democratic
rights of all Americans.
Following the election of Al
bert Fitzgerald. president of the
United Electrical. Radio & Ma
chine Workers of America tCIOl.
as permanent chairman Saturday
morning. a memorial service hon
oring the late President Franklin
D. Roosevelt and the war dead
was conducted under the direc-
lion of Veterans for Wallace.
And then lunches were hastily
bolted as delegates prepared to
return to the hail for the great
moment-the nominations.
WALLACE was nominated by
a longtime neighbor, Fred
Slower, Iowa farmer. AS leaders
of other delegations - including
Illinois Grant Cakes to
second the nomination, balloons
were released to float through
the air, confetti rained down
from the crowded balconies, and
delegates paraded and sang with
wild exhuberance, waving state
