The legislation passed, 287 to 125, with eight Texans voting for the bill, 15 opposing it. Rep. Jack Hightower, Vernon, did nol vote due lo illness. The legislalion, which has been signed into law by President Ford, provides for a $22.8 billion lax cul. Included uniler ils provisions were a gradual phaseout of the oil depletion allowance for most oil firms and other assorted measures, such as a $50 payments lo each of 31 million Social Securily recipients.

Opponents of the bill argued against it for as many reasons as there were provisisons. Most of the Texas House members voted "no" because of amendments relaling to the oil industry. Many Repulbicans contended thai Ihe bill would, in Ihe words of Rep. Herman Schneebeli, "perpetuate the long lerm budget deficits which have been Ihe cause of Ihe inflation we have experienced in the pasl few years." Supporters of the tax break said it was essential to stimulate the faltering economy. But some opponents pointed Hanoi Denies UN Permission To Aid ROME UPI North Vietnam and the Viet Cong have denied the United Nalions permssion to evacuate refugees from territory in South Vietnam under Communist conlrol.

U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim has announced with regret the decision by Hanoi and Leader Blames King Murder On CIA, FBI MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UPI) Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson told marchers observing the seventh anniversary of the slaying of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Friday he believes the CIA and Ihe FBI were involved in Ihe assassination. "James Earl Ray said he was not alone and I believe him," Jackson said. Jackson said he will make a personal appeal to Atlorney General Edward Levi to reopen the investigation of the murder and will join with a group of other ministers from across the nation in attempting to interview Ray, who is now serving a 99-year sentence in the Tennessee state prison following his guilty plea in 1969. Ray has repudiated his confession and now claims he was pressured into it by defense lawyer Percy Foreman. the rebel force it directs but said he wouldn't make a public appeal lo rescind the ban because it might hurt olher vilal U.N.

work. "Such a public appeal wouldn't really solve Ihe problem," he said. "On the contrary, it would have risked doing harm lo Ihe work of our humanitarian orgainzalions in Ihe area, which are doing an excellent job." "I am personally deeply touched by the human suffering of Ihese people, and I am certainly doing my utmost to be helpful through our humanitairan agencies." Waldheim, atlending a meeling of U.N. agency heads, said both Hanoi and the Viet Cong contend Ihe refugees can be aided in Soulh Vietnam and there is no reason for them to leave the country. In reponse lo a U.N.

appeal, Waldeim said Australia has pledged million in aid, Lufthansa is flying relief supplies to South Vielnam on behalf of Wesl Germany, and Sweden has pledged $6 million in help half of it to Ihe Viet Cong's Provisional Revolutionary Government. out it was "unfair" that persons paying income taxes could recieved a maximum $200 rebate, while the very poor those who in many cases paid no 1974 federal income tax can receive $400. Supporters of the bill countered this argument by saying the provision was designed to put more money into circulation and that the nation's poor deserved a more sizeable tax break. One of four Texans to speak on the House floor during debate, Rep. Jake Pickle, Austin, said he supported the tax cut bill because "the condition of our national economy demands it" event though he had grave reservations about it.

Pickle voicedconcern over the oil depletion allowance provision, as did the other three Taxans who spoke Reps. Bob Eckhardl, Houslon; Bill Archer, Houston; and Ray Roberts, McKinney. Roberts and Archer voted against Ihe bill, Eckhardl and Pickle in favor. Other Texans opposing the tax cut were: Reps. Omar Burleson, Anson; Bob Casey, Houslon; Jim Collins, Houston; Henry Gonzalex, San Antonio; Abraham Kazen, Laredo; Robert Krueger, New Braunfels; George Mahon, Lubbock; Dale Milford, Dallas; Bob Poage, Waco; Alan Steelman, Dallas; Olin Teague, College Slation; Charles Wilson, Lufkin; and John Young, Corpus Christi.

Others voting in favor of the bill were: Reps. Jack Brooks, Beaumont; Kika de la Garza, Mission; Barbara Jordan, Houston; Wright Patman, Texarkana; Riached While, El Paso; and Jim Wright, Dallas. SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) President Ford says he will ask Congress extend unemployment benefits from 52 weeks to 65. Ford told the San Francisco Bay Area Council Friday night the recession is showing "tentative signs that the worst may be behind us." He said "encouraging indications" include a slowdown in price increases, lowering of interest rates, retail sales holding up as inventories are reduced, and automakers planning increased production. But "this does nol mean that all our troubles are over," the President said.

"A few flowers do not mean lhal spring has really come." He said lhat as soon as Congress returns Monday from its Easter holiday he will ask the law makers to: by 13 weeks federal jobless benefits lo persons who have exhausted their eligibility. He said this will give most workers covered by unemployment compensation protection for up to 65 weeks. by 39 weeks the current one-year temporary compensation for the 12 million persons not previously protected, by the unemployment insurance program. They include domeslic workers, farm workers, teachers and other state employes. Ford said both special programs should continue until the end of 1976.

But he is asking Congress for automatic controls that would cut off the extended benefits if unemployment falls to a certain level, so far unspecified. The Labor Department announced in Washington Friday that 7,980,000 workers were without jobs in March. That was 8.7 per cenl of Ihe labor force, the highest unemploy- menl rale since 1941. AFL-CIO presidenl George Russians Pressured MANILA UPI A Filipino chess official has blamed Ihe Russians for the collapse of the 15 million world championship match in Manila between American Bobby Fischer and Analoly Karpov of Ihe Soviel Union. Florencio Campomanes, deputy president of the International Chess Federation, said in a statement the Soviels exerled pressure on delegates during the extraordinary meeting in Holland last month.

He said because of the Russian pressure, Ihe meeting rejected one of Fischer's two proposals giving Ihe defending champion Ihe right to retain Ihe tille in case of a 9 9 draw. The meeling approved Ihe other proposal for an unlimited number of games. The championship series was to have been held in Manila June 1 with the Philippine goverment putting up a $5 million prize. Fischer was stripped of his crown and Karpov named as champion. Meany said that if the government counted as unemployed those who have given up looking for full-time work, the rate would be 9.8 per cent, or 9 million persons.

The Labor Department estimated that 1.1 million "discouraged" workers have given up job hunting.
