Texaco Opposes the Elimination of Depletion Allowance MIDLAND, Tex. (AP) The chairman of Texaco, said his company opposes any additional taxes or elimination of the depletion allowance. Maurice F. Granville told Texaco executives Tuesday that and drilling costs provisions have been the principal incentives in the past to domestic exploration and drilling for oil and Any tax increase could prevent the oil industry from generating the capital needed to search for more oil and help make the United States self- sufficient.

reads his poems, framing them in the personal experiences and observations from which they originate. In poems like Pool Crocker recreates the atmosphere of of as are popular in most small towns such as Vance, Mississippi where he grew up. presentation of poetry is refreshing in its lank of reverent seriousness, poets read their poems whenever they get the chance, because nobody else ever reads is an example of the ironic truth with which he laces his readings. have a good time while performing and usually people citch on to my is a statement by Crocker which is quickly proven to his audiences. Tht interplay between him and the audience is a relaxed mood of intimacy, obtained effectively in spite of the barrier of the stage.

Especially in his musical performance, Crocker comes across as a laid-back, living room guitar picker entertaining a group of friends. Tracing the advent of popular music from folk ballads, Crocker assumes the identity of performers recognized as forerunners in the various forms of music, among them Elvis Presley, Red Foley and Kitty Wells (surprisingly, one of his most effective imitations), Bob Dylan, the Beatties, obscure Negro bluesmen, and the wah, yeah yeah groups of the 50s. The wide spectrum ot songs offers variety which makes the time of his performance race by with no room for boredom. The Zeta Omicron chapter of Phi Theta Kappa at Navarro College is to be commended for bringing to Corsicana this type of entertainment. And those who missed the presentation missed an uncommon experience that is hard to match for $2 in these inflation-ridden days.
