It recommended $16,116,370 for Eisenhower’s office and related activities, a 23 percent cut from the President’s request, including a reduction to the national defense emergency fund from five million to one million dollars.

Oil Industry Faces Crisis in Southwest Kansas
A major crisis hits the young oil industry in southwestern Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle as Shamrock Oil and Gas Co. will not accept more crude after April 1. Greendyke Petroleum, the middleman, has sold about 195,000 barrels monthly and shipments to Shamrock’s Turpin, Oklahoma facility will halt. Despite offering trucking to Arapaho near Ellinwood, no local refinery exists and the lack of markets threatens continued production. Shamrock’s Turpin terminal is near the producing area and only Leslie and Novinger field oil will continue to move to Shamrock after April. Panhandle Eastern’s Shallow Water refinery, now 2,000 bpd with 4,000 capacity, does not resolve the shutdown issue. Panhandle notes most local oil has gone to Greendyke.

Seek Opinion on Oil and Gas Severance Tax
TOPEKA Kansas. The Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee deferred action on a proposed five percent severance tax on oil and gas pending an attorney general opinion on constitutionality. A Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association representative challenged equal treatment with other minerals. Chairman Howard Immel said he will seek the AG's view and aim to decide next Tuesday or Wednesday whether to recommend passage. If approved it goes to the Oil and Gas Committee where severance tax bills have often been killed.
