On Gas Tax Case
; AUSTIN, June 3 —UP—The Tex-
as Supreme Court Wednesday re-
fused to reconsdered its action
upholding the state's natural gas
gathering tax in appeals made by
two pipeline companies.
However, the high court took no
action in a third case asking that
the court set aside its judgment
of May 6, when it upheld the con-
stitutionality of the $14 million-a-
ycar gathering tax.
The court turned down motions
# for rehearing sought by Panhandle
* Eastern Pipeline Co. and the
Michigan - Wisconsin Pipeline Co.,
but took no action Wednesday on a
similar motion made by the Ama-
rillo Oil Co.
Amarillo Oil challenged intra-
state features of the gas gathering
tax enacted by the legislature in
1951, while the other two compan-
ies attacked the levy as being In
violation of the interstate com-
merce clause of the U. S. Constitu-
tion.
S The action in the two cases
opened the way for an appeal to
the U. S. Supreme Court.
The gathering tax, set at
of one cent per 1,000 cubic feet,
was declared unconstitutional by
an Austin district court.
However, the Third Court of Civ-
il Appeals reversed the lower
court’s decision and held the levy
constitutional.

U.S. Oil Firms
To Help Allies
WASHINGTON. June 3 —UP—
The government Wednesday asked
14 U.S. oil companies to renew a
1951 agreement to provide oil to
friendly foreign nations in case the
need arises.
Defense mobilizer Arthur S.
Flemming sent the request to 14
companies having foreign oil opera-
tions.
Mobilization officials said there
are no current emergencies requir-
ing any action under the agree-
ment, hut that Defense Secretary
Charles E. Wilson has stressed the
need lor having an agreement in
case of an emergency in the world
oil situation.
“Need for the agreement is
pointed up by the fact that the
loss of any substantial current
source of world petroleum supply
can seriously jeopardize the inter-
est of the free nations of the
world.” Flemming said.
The 1951 agreement followed the
shutdown of the British oil refin-
ery in Iran.
Former Attorney General James
P. McGranery withdrew his ap-
proval of the agreement during his
last days in office, apparently be-
cause there was no current emer-
gency requiring action under it.
The oil companies then withdrew
from the agreement.

French Leader Is
In Favor Of Early
Meet With Soviets
PARIS, June 3 -UP—Radical
Socialist Pierre Mendes-Francc
told the French National Assembly
Wednesday that if it named him
premier he would work to arrange
a Big Four meeting with the So-
viet Union.
The 46-year-old finance expert
also pledged to reduce drastically
the French burden in Indo-China
and strengthen European unity
through the closest possible links
with Britain.
Mendes-France went before the
assembly to seek confirmation as
the Big Three Bermuda conference
with President Eisenhower and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
late this month.
The candidate for premier told
the assembly that France must
forego United States aid and learn
to live on Its own means and
stand on its own feet.
Unless it gives up “GIFTS" from
abroad, he said, France could nev-
er learn to be independent, either
economically or politically.

Big Atomic Bombers
Make Long Test Run
TAMPA, Fla . June 3—UP—Fif-
teen B-47 Stratojets—the world's
fastest atomic bombers—streaked
away from MacDill Air Force
Base Wednesday on the first leg
of a history-making mass lliglit to
England.
The squadron of six-jet planes,
one of them piloted by the officer
who was skipper on the first lion-
1949, was to be followed by 15
more B-47s on each of the next
two days. Actual time in the air
on the 4,580 statute mile trip, to
be broken at Limestone, Me., was
scheduled as eight hours 59 min-
utes for an average of about 500
miles an hour. Top speed of the
B-47 is more than 600 inph.
Together the 45 planes made
up the 306th Medium Bombardment
Wing, the Air Force’s first entirely
jet-propelled strategic bomber out-
fit.
The first plane aloft Wednesday
was piloted by Col Michael N.
W. McCoy, 47-year old wing com-
mander and veteran of the air
war against Japan.
The great sweptwing bombers,
each as big as a B-29 Superfort
but carrying only a three-man
crew7, took off at 5-minute inter-
vals on the three hour 17 minute
flight to Limestone.
They will jump off on the 2.992
mile Atlantic flight after midnight
Wednesday, again at 15-minute in-
tervals with a scheduled flying
time of five hours 42 minuts at an
altitude of 35,000 feet. Their des-
tion in England could not be dis-
closed prior to arrival there.
Tanker planes will accompany
the flights to practice refueling.

four miles east of Sweetwater, just
north of Highway 80. has drilled
ahead after heavy Caddo showings
and found a good paying Ellen-
burger, it was reported Tuesday
afternoon.
No tests have been reported but
the Ellenburger is said to be very
promising with shutin pressure
around 2500 pounds.
Previously it had been reported
that the well showed enough prom-
ise in the Caddo to w arrant running
pipe at that level.
A test at 6.016-46 showed gas in
an hour and recovered 520 feet of
oil.
Testing is proceeding
The Sweetwater vicinity had 166
producing oil wells at the start of
this week — with the new Whit-
aker, Cochran, Kinard Martin and
Lynch wells to be added upon com-
pletion.

SEOUL, Korea. Thursday. June

There was guarded optimism
that the Communists may show a
disposition to accept UN proposals
for the future of Chinese and
North Korean prisoners who re-
fuse to go back to their Red-ruled
homelands.
The South Kotean government
still bitterly opposes the UN plan,
calling it a surrender to the Com-
munists.
But it is believe the South Ko-
rears will go along, however re-
luctantly, with any plan which the
UN may agree to

There is hope among Allied ob-

South Koreans were adamant in
their objections.
Dr. Hong Kce Karl issued a

A House Appropriations subcom-

The action, still not officially an-

One subcommittee member said
that Ihr subcommittee restored not

and above what Mr. Truman re-
quested before he left office. Mr.
