Pres. Dwight D. Eisenhower's re-|
quest for a voluntary 10 per cend
cut in oil imports. I
For months Texas officials and
industry leaders have sought White
House help to restrict the flows
of foreign oil into the country
They blamed "excessive imports"
for the dwindling demand for Tex -j
as oil.
State oil allowable slipped month

State revenue estimates, heavily!
dependent on oil taxes, were drng-l
ged down correspondingly—-- -]

suggestion tha mandatory quotas
would be imposed if the voluntary]
program doesn't work out.
