No Action On Tax Expected Solons Eye Oil Depletion Allowance

Horace M Gray argued it harms public revenue and distorts the economy, while Scott C Lambert of Standard Oil countered that changing the rule would threaten national interests. The panel expects a report after Congress reconvenes, but no immediate cuts are planned. The debate includes leaders from Texas on both sides and possibly a revived effort led by Sen. Paul H. Douglas to trim the tentatively protected deduction.
