Oil Again Under Siege
The petroleum industry is in lor another vicious at-
tack from Washington . . . and there is nothing fair
about it. The attack not only is harmful to the indus-
try, it is detrimental to the nation and its security,
.is well as to the general public, including consumers.
The industry once again is caught up in proposed
legislation aimed at so-called tax “loopholes.”
me legislation, proposed by P.cp Wilbur Mills,
chairman ot the House Ways and Means Committee, of
all people, would terminate 54 provisions in the income
tax law, including depletion allowances for mineral in-
dustries and deductions for intangible drilling costs.
Sen Mike Mansfield, Senate majority leader, intro-
duced the measure, in the Senate.
Xo wonder oil and gas men are 1 Tightened at the
rvindications of the proposed measure
“It is tragic for American consumers that here on
the brink ol an energy shortage. Washington politicians
have decided to make a political football of tax pro-
visions affecting oil and gas exploration," Robert A
Buschman of San Antonio, president of Texas Mid-Con-
tinent Oil & (las Association, said a lew days ago in
Dallas.
He said the same pattern dev eloped prior to the 1969
act which “removed more than .$700 million a year from
the producing and exploration end of the oil and gas in-
dustry. The act contributed to the dwindling of reserves
of both oil and gas which we see today."
A study made by the Texas employment Commis-
sion of petroleum employment trends in the Midland
region, as reported in last Sunday's Reporter-Telegram,
portrayed vividly the drop in drilling and employment
following the 1969 legislation which cut the depiction
allowance from 27U per cent to 22 per cent.
The industry now' is unable to meet the growing do-
mestic demand for energy luels, which has resulted in
increased oil imports. Oilmen and others warn of the
dangers of the U S. becoming overly dependent upon
unreliable foreign fuel sources.
The situation is critical, demanding the interest,
concern and action of individuals, organizations and
business firms generally The real message of the criti-
cal situation at hand somehow must be gotten across to
persons and groups across the land.
Xo longer can the petroleum induslry handle the job
alone It needs and must have help from everyone who
is aware of the situation, it the petroleum industry is to
survive. And if the industry goes down the drain, so do
many other industries — with government not far be-
hind. Interested persons are urged to write their sen-
ators, congressmen, friends, relatives and business as-
sociates everywhere . . . telling the story as it is. This
is everybody’s fight for survival.

ington: not harassment*

couple happy?
"This question poses problems
for investigators, "Miss Taylor
said. "The happier a couple
Is, the less they seem to stop
and think about it." There
may be a number of different
and complicated formulas for
the success that makes a
couple happy.
"They depend on the partner's
needs, aoinues and ideals, «uu
the combination of these that
they work out in their relation-
ship. The 'flavor' is easier to
notice than the recipe that
contributes to making it. "
She said that communica-
tion is important. How can
couples fulfill each other's
needs or wants without know-
ing what these are, and with-
out having the skill to find out?
How can they decide together
what to do, unless each can
express differences about what
each expects and how strongly
each feels?
How can couples work out
solutions to problems unless
HAPPINESS IN MARRIAGE
Some people believe that of
all the millions of people in
the world, two individuals are
predestined for each other and
will find supreme happiness in
their union.
Others believe that provi-
dence has decreed a marriage
for a purpose.
"These unscientific ideas a-
bout mate selection help us
understand why many people
are averse to finding in science
an explanation of why people
fall in love, " said Texas A&M
University family life educa -
tion specialist Dorthy Taylor.
But, like all behavior, love
and marriage are subject to
observation and study, accord-
ing to Miss Taylor.
The specialist said that some
of the words used to describe
marriages that seem to be work-
ing out well are difficult to
pin down. One such word is
"happiness.

ness is a state of mind that
carries a sense of pleasantness
or excitement with it, " the
Texas Agricultural Extension
Service specialist said. "There
are two problems involved
when we talk about the 'happy
couple' or happiness in mar-
riage. ”
The first is: when is happi-
ness real and when does it
only seem real? And secondly,
what makes a couple happy?
Happiness isn’t the same as
satisfaction or adjustment.
Many couples seem to lack
much vitality in their relation-
ship, but they appear and feel
satisfied with it.
Other couples are quite dis-
satisfied with their spouse, but
they’re adjusted to the way
things are, and wouldn't want
to change.

ly what he feels he can or can-
not do about them? Communi-
cation is at least a strong and
necessary start for building a
relationship.
But couples may refuse to
communicate because one or
both don't feel capable of an-
swering the other's real needs.
And they may be right. That's
the risk in learning what an-
other wants.
"Beyond communication lies
also the question of what in-
terests or common concerns
couples really have for build-
ing a 'partnership, '"Miss Tay-
lor said. "Since children are
an assumed common interest,
to what extent does each spouse
share the interest, or feel that
they have an investment in
their children?"
Is there any interest in one
another's work? Are any civic,
religious or social interests
shared? In any relationship,
these interests may shift and a
relationship can gain or lose
vitality as couples move into
new areas of interest.
"In marriage, " Miss Taylor
said, "a couple's happiness in
some ways grows out of what's
happening in their mutual in-
teraction. Yet there isn't a
relationship in which ' doing
together' or being in step to-
gether can be taken for granted.
Whatever happiness means, it
comes from partnership in
which both persons are active,
whether they think about it or
not."
