Depletion
‘Save' Seen
By Rayburn
BONHAM, Tex (AP) — House
Speaker Sam Rayburn said Mon-
day he believed the Texas dele-
gation can protect the oil deple-
tion tax allowable if Texas voters
uphold the Democrats in the No-
vember general election.
In a press statement issued from
his home here, Rayburn said a
Republican victory would deplete
the influence of Texans in Wash-
ington. weakening their defense of
the allowable.
His statement follows:
"Some of our oil people seem
very much disturbed that the word
depletion is used in the Democrat-
ic platform. Some people forget
that there are at least 104 pro-
ducts that enjoy depletion.
"For several years some of
these are supposed to be loop-
holes. I’ve never heard of the
27% per cent oil depletion allow-
ance being considered the loop-
hole. I trust that the oil people
do not consider it to be. 1 do not
and never have.
“The Texas delegation in the
Senate and House for years has
stood up and protected the 27%
per cent depletion allowance for
oil and gM. I think we can do
that in the future unless Texas
goes Republican and depletes our
influence in Washington both IB
the Senate and in the House which
it certainly would do.
"The novernor of the State of
Texas, all state officers both sen-
ators and the 21 Democratic mem-
bers of the delegation from Texas
in Congress are supporting the
Democratic nominees. Will the
Texans turn us down?" .
