AUSTIN, (8pl)—Plenty of
political friction Is coming up
between now and election time
despite the “harmony” conven
tion of* young democrats at
Mineral Wells. Any harmony at
that meeting resulted from the
fact that one fraction, the lib-
erals, stayed away.
National and state party lea-
ders called the gathering for the
purpose of irying to reoagtanize
the Ybung Democrats ^od firing
both factions'Together^
Representatives of both camps
•-fwere placed on the reorganizing
a committee. Despite these ef-
forts, however, dissension flared
up as a prelude to the Mineral
Wells conclave, '
Liberal Young Democrats an-
nounced that they would b^r-
cott the meeting, charging that
it will be dominated by conser-
vative friends of Governor Allan
Shivery
Shunning the "harmony” con-
vention, the liberal Young
Democrats insisted that their
get-together in San Antonio last
year was legal.
A feature of the confab was a
panel discussion Friday after-
billed as an “open and
discussion of party poli-
tics.” r , i
Attorney General John Ben
Shepperd was moderator and
State Senator Searcy Bracewell
of Houston discussion leader.
Others on the program includ-
ed Governor Shivers, Johnston
Murray of Oklahoma and Frank
Clement of Tennessee; Supreme
Court Justice Will Willson,
National Committeewoman
Hilda Weinert of Seguin and
State Democratic Chairman
Wallace Savage of Dallas.

Interested parties, while they
waited on a court decision in
the George Parr case, went back
to Duval County.
Parr had asked for an injunc-
tion against Rangers Alfred Al-
lee and Joe Bridge. The Duke of
Duval y said he feared the
rangers would harm him.
Arthur Garfield Hays, re-
nowned New York attorney rep-
resenting Parr, told the three
federal judges trying the case
at Houston that they should “do
something constructive to pre-
vent bloodshed in Duval
County.
Hays said the Rangers are
“men of zeal who think they are
doing good.” A man like Captain
Allee, the attorney declared, can
be both honest and dangerous
when he takes civil law in his

As the attorneys checked the
case to the federal judges, the
Rangers and Parr headed back
to Duval County.
So did Attorney General Shep-
perd, who said he will continue
<tais investigation of alleged ir-
regularities in the Benavides
and San Diego school districts
and in Duval County public
offices.

On the horizon was a special
session of the Legislature, call-
ed by Governor Shivers for the
purpose of providing a raise in
pay for the public school tea-
chers.
.Other objectives of the session
were to raise money for needed
state buildings, give pay boosts
to state employees and set heavy
penalties, including death, for
Communists.
Shivers had what has been
described as a compromise plan
to up the income of teachers by
$402 per year and he said he
would specify, when the time
comes, the tax measure necess-
ary to raise the necessary funds.
House Speaker Reuben Sen-
terfitt was at odds with the gov-
ernor on his plan.
In the Speaker’s opinion, the
. But you could depend upon it;
any time a tax was suggested,
the prospective victim rose up
and asserted himself^
For example, M. D.N Bryant,
president of the Texas Indepen-
dent Producers and Royalty
Owners Association premised
that his group would fight any
increase in the taxes on gas and
oil.
“One thing is certain,” said
Bryant. “Producers and royalty
owners already pay more than
their share of state taxes.” •
TIPRO’s reaction may be re-
garded as typical. Any business
or industry which finds itself
in the position of being eligible
for taxation will Indubitably
rush to explain why it should
not be taxed any more.
Thus you can see that the jofi
of the Legislature is going to be
nothing like sitting under the
peach tree waiting for the fruit
to drop. ..rpfn
When the legislatures con-
vene, they will be greeted by an
encampment of old people,
gathered here to demand more'
money in the form of pensions. ■
Jack Ballard of Wichita Falls,
president of the Good Citizens
League of Texas, announced
that between 10,000 and 40,000
old people will camp on the capi-
tol grounds during the special
session, pending action on their
grievances.
Already, Ballard said, he has
letters from 3,000 persons who
say they wil make the march to
Austin.
Legislators, contends Ballard,
“have made promises to the old
folks and failed to keep them,”
and “We’re going to stay there
until legislation is passed to

R. _L- Phinney, district direc-

of any income tax due from an
exempt farmers* coperative mar-
keting and purchasing associa-
tion for a taxable year begin-
ning in 1953 has been extended
.until the 15th day of the ninth
month following the close of
the taxable year. This extension
represents a change in the date
for filing and payment contain-
ed in paragraph D on page 1 of
the General Instructions ac-
companying Form 990-C.
Cooperative association con-
cerned are advised, however,
that interest at the rate of six
per cent per annum will ,|>e
assessed and collected on the
amount determined as the tax
from the original due date for
payment of the tax, the 15th day
of the third month following the
close of the taxable year, until
the date such tax is paid. The
payment of the tax, or any in-
stallment thereof, made in ad-
vance of the filing of the return
will stay the accumulation of in-
terest on the amount of such
payment from the time it is paid.,

so-called ‘compromise plan” I help us . . . we want legislation
would play havoc with the1 raising the pensions to a mini-
Gilmer-Aiken school program
Senterfitt ordered his own
program for increased teacher
pay. He said the amount of sal-
ary raise for teachers should be
based on what the legislature
can raise by taxation -not by
what the teaches would like It
to be. *
There were some suggestions
as to how the money might be
raised.
Representative Joe Pool of
Dallas thought dbout higher tax-

would introduce* a bill embody-
ing that proposal.
While he did) not say what Jon the commission since
rate of taxation he had in mind, j and has been re elected
mum of at least $40 per month
and we want the maximum to
be $90. There will be no compro-
mise.”
Ballard said he had written
Governor Shivers, among others,
about the old folks’ problems,
but doesn’t expect a reply from
the governor. On the other hand,
"I expect him to dodge the
issues.”

The present stpte tax on beer
is $1.37 per barrel, or about a
half a cent per bottle. >
Representative Gilbert M
Spring of Apple! Springs, Trini-
ty County, had another idea. He
wants to quit giving tax exemp-
tions on cigarettes sold at army
posts in Texas.
The federal government col-
lects its cigarette tax at army
camps, Spring reasoned, so why
shouldn’t the state do likewise?
Comptroller Robert Calvert
estimated that if the state
should collect tajees on cigaret-
tes sold at army posts in Texas, j
the revenue would amount to,
about $1 million per year.
Other suggestions as to rais-j
ing money for teachers Included ,
