Exemptions Under
New Insurance Tax
Held To Be Illegal
Associated Press
Oklahoma City Oct 31 — The
state’s new gross premium insur-
ance tax law providing exemp-
tions according to the investments
insurance companies mude in Ok-
lahoma was held unconstitutional
today by District Judge Lucius
Babcock
The law provided a tax of four
per cent on all insurance prem-
iums collected in Oklahoma but
set up a schedule of exemptions
based on the percentage of invest-
ments each firm held in’ the state
Babcock sustained the tax it-
self but overruled that portion of
the law providing exemptions as
being discriminatory against for-
eign insurance companies
As a result if the ruling stands
all insurance companies doing
business in Oklahoma domestic as
well as foreign — must pay the
flat four per cent premium tax

Chungking Oct 81— Gen Yen
HsiiShan governor of Shansi
province charged today that 100-
000 communist troops are at-
tacking the important rail junc-
tion city of Tatung in northern
Shansi
Yen said he was "70 per cent
certain" that the communists are
being directed by Gen Chu
Tehjn communist commander In
chief
The Shansi governor claimed
he had received reports while vis-
iting here that "unidentified air-
craft have been landing behind
the communist lines" but he re-
fused to elaborate on the sub-
ject He said attacking forces were
using more than 40 field guns and
15 to 20 tanks “The tanks ac-
cording to reports I’ve heard were
mhnned by men dressed like Out-
er Mongolians"
A communist spokesman - said
Yen’s ' accusation that tanks
manned bv men dressed like Out-
er Mongols were participating in
the attack on Tatung was “Kuo-
mintang propaganda trying to im-
ply that we are getting Russian
support so that Chiang Kai-Shek
can appeal for American help”

Farmer Income
Expected To Drop
Slightly In 1945
Associated Press '
Washington Oct 31 — A de-
cline of as much as 15 per cent in
the net income of farmers in 1948
was forecast today by the agricul-
ture department
- The department said cash re-
ceipts from marketings probably
would not drop quit that much'
The net decline estimate however
was based on the theory that some
I ‘rices farmers pay for what they
my will increase
A 16 per cent decline in real
farm income still would leave it
more than double the pre-war av-
erage including the peak years
following the first World war the
department said
in its 1946 outlook issue of the
demand and price situatiofi the
department predicted that total-
demand for farm products would
remain high through the year -The
prices of fruits vegetables
truck crops and r£gs “may decline
somewhat more than those of
other farm products” it added
