Former Gov. Raymond Gary, of Madill, a Boren supporter during the recent campaign, was unable to attend because his wife was sick.

They joined all six members of the U.S.

House from Oklahoma, all Democrats, "a model of excellence or the nation." Reaction was uniformly favorable, but several mentioned the fnct that putting some of his theories into practice will be difficult for the new governor. Most of the theories he mentioned Monday were the keystones of his long campaign for governor in 1973 ajid 1974. Boron, at 33, is just five months older than the youngest governor ever elected in Oklahoma, He was born in April, and the late Gov. J. Howard Edmondson of Tulsa was born in September.

Tariff Favored They were even more in favor of the plan to raise the current investment lax-credit from 7 per cent to 12 per cent so industry can increase modernization and expansion of the country's manufacturing capability to increase production and productivity. Equally favored by those interviewed Monday night was the imposition immediately of a Sl-per-barrel tariff on crude oil imports a i at discouraging U.S. dependence upon Middle East and other foreign suppliers of petroleum.

Ford outlined a $4C billion economic and energy package in a nationally broadcast address, calling for higher taxes, on oil and natural gas that experts said could increase retail gasoline prices by about a jiickle a gallon.

As Ford was telling Americans "we are in trouble" with a deepening recession, White House officials were spelling out details of proposals he will present to Congress in his State of the Union message on Wednesday. That address to Congress, the officials said, will call for permanent reductions in the tax rates for individuals, a cut from 4S per cent to 42 per cent in the corporate tax rate, a doubling of the low-income tax allowance and a $150 tax credit for homeowners who insulate their houses or take other energy-saving steps. In his 20-minute television and radio address, Ford declared "we have no choice" but to put "our domestic house in order." The program he outlined to the public included these major points: The immediate lax cut implemented by giving 12 per cent cash rebates, up to a maximum of $1,000 per tax return, to individuals based on their 1974 tax payments. Higher tnxes on foreign and domestic oil, natural gas and windfall profits of oil producers, to bring in $30 billion, which would be returned to the economy under procedures Ford did not describe in detail in.his speech. A one-year increase In the investment tax credit to 12 per cent, this giving industry a $4 billion tax break to spur plant expansion and create more jobs.

A one-year moratorium on new federal spending programs to hold down the budget deficit, and a 5 per cent limit on increases in federal salaries and pension benefits paid from the U.S. Treasury. An oil nlloention program to insure such areas as New England of adequate fuel, a five-year delay on stlffer auto pollution standards, and stepped-up energy conservation efforts to cut foreign oil imports by one million barrels a day this year.

He said a possible hearing would take only a morning or an afternoon. Republican members of the committee, aided by a petition filed Monday by Bellmon, attempted to have Bellmon seated unconditionally, arguing that Edmondson had not made enough of a case to even warrant Senate consideration. But Democratic members argued that some of Edmondson's points might have merit and that the committee, which a been tied up with a complex Now Hampshire senatorial challenge, needed more time to study the Continued on Page 2, Col. 2 By Alan Bromley Within minutes of a 19-gun salute honoring Gov.
