Knowland Refuses Oil Fund Over Houston Dinner Controversy
Senate leader Knowland of California opposes acceptance of any of the Houston dinner funds by GOP committees. Senator Williams of Delaware signals concern over Porter tactics and a possible showdown on cutting oil depreciation from 27 to 15 percent. Porter says funds may go to the state committee if the national committee balks. Knowland urges routing contributions through state channels and warns against using the Houston money by any committee. Williams, seeking reelection, is the sponsor of the depreciation cut and argues the policy created wealth in Texas.
