TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
Austin. — Texas Railroad
Commission has turned up
the oil allowable to a record
high 48 per cent of potential
--retroactive to July 1—to
meet demands created by the
Commission’s extraordinary
mid-month emergency order
was the third of the kind
since the Arabian oil cut-off.
It boosted the allowable to
3,830,560 barrels a day —
higher than during latter
part of the 1957 Suez oil crisis
and probably the highest
since wide-open production
days of 1948 when producers
were encouraged to build up
war-drained crude supplies.
New increase adds 131,000
barrels a day to July allow-
able, which was raised to 42.9
per cent on the first of the
month. Major purchasers told
the Commission added pro-
duction was necessary.
Allowable was 33.8 per cent
when the Arab-Israeli shoot-
ing started in June. Commis-
sion raised it slightly -- to
35.9 per cent — in miid-June,
retroactive to June 1, and on
July 1 announced the 42.9 per
cent order.
August allowable is due to
be set this week.
Since the percentage factor j
was first usd in 1963, the 37.5
per cent-of-potential produc-
tion was the highest adjust-
ment used until the present
Middle East crisis erupted.
In addition to the major
effect on the state’s general
economy, a steadily climbing
allowable appears likely to in-
crease Texas’ governmental
tax income substantially. It
has been estimated that the
July 1 order would mean a
$53,617 a day increase in state
tax income — or a total of

At 9:48 a.m., August 8, 1966,

Obviously, the increase now
will be greater.
If the crisis continues for
several months, the added in-
come will be a major factor
in shaping special session tax
needs next year.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jim
C Langdon emphasized that
the Commission is determin-
ed to avoid repetition of the
situation that followed the
Suez emergency when oil
industry suffered for two and
a half years working off sur-
plus stocks which piled up as
a result of the big allowable
boost a decade ago.

J. J. ISBELL’S OF WACO
NEW GRANDPARENTS
Mr. and Mrs. Jim Isbell,
formerly of Texon, are grand-
parents of Carol Ann Boyd, of
Kansas City, Mo., born March
31. She is the newly adopted
four pounds, twelve ounce in-
fant of the Isbell’s daughter
and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Curtis A. Boyd.
She came from St. Louis to
the Boyd home on July 1,
joining a family of Cathy
Boyd, adopted as an infant
two years ago, and Lynn Boyd,
19 years old, now in naval
service in Jacksonville, Flor-
ida.
The former Elaine Isbell
wrote of the new addition to
the family, also telling of how
they enjoyed the Wildcat
which her mother sends on
to them. She said that they
liked Kansas City very much,
except for the present rainy
weather. They became almost
amused when reading com-
plaints of our dry weather

drown. She said that they use
the heater every morning,
and that they’d barely had
any summer weather.
Boyd is Supt. of Terminals
for Missouri ’Pacific railroad
in Kansas City and Elaine
had been teaching piano
throughout the years when
the children were larger. She
will be remembered by Lions
Club members as their Sweet-
heart and pianist for several
years.
Dr. and Mrs. Royce White-
field left Friday with friends
from San Angelo to enjoy a
week of fishing and camping
at Lake Isabel, Colo. Sight-
seeing will be included as the
location is about 90 miles
form the Royal Gorge, and
not too far from Colorado
by witnesses as an excellent
likeness of this person. The
man was described as approx-
imately 27 years old, approxi- |
mately 5’8” or 5’9” tall, and
weighing about 160 pounds. |
His hair was very dark or,
black and well groomed. His j
eyes were dark and he pos- j
sessed a muscular build with |
broad shoulders and a narrow
waist. Witnesses stated this;
individual’s speech accent in- j
dicated the possibility that he
was from Texas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas or Louisiana.
During the commission of
this attempted robbery, the
robber kept telling customers
and employees in the bank
not to look at him or he
would kill them. One witness
thought he had the initials
“J. B.” on his upper left arm.
Another witness noted that
when he walked he rose on
his toes noticeably.
The FBI has requested that
anyone having any informa-
PARCEL POST DELIVERIES
IRETURNS TO 6-DAY WEEK
Postmaster Dwain Carr to-
day announced that parcel
post deliveries in Big Lake
were expanded from five to
six days a week as of July 12.
This is in line with a recent
directive from Postmaster
General Lawrence F. O’Brien
following the signing of the
Post Office Department ap-
propriation bill by President
Johnson. The legislation con-
tains an $8.5 million item for
restoration of the six-day a
week delivery which had been
cut back in May 1964 as an
economy measure.
Nearly 5,000 cities are af-
fected, Postmaster Carr said.
The Big Lake postal official
noted that the improved ser-
vice will remove an inequity
for many business and resi-
dential routes.
Postal customers served by
“motorized” letter carriers
have been receiving six-day
deliveries all along. They were
not covered by the 1964 cut-
back inasmuch as carriers on
vehicles can deliver parcels of
any size. Customers living on
routes serviced by foot car-
riers have received larger
parcels from a five-day a
week parcel post route cov-
ered by a truck, earners on
foot only deliver small pack-
ages
