Society. He has completed these
at the University of Natal His
work took him to the Valley of
1000 Hills outside Durham for Is
months in studying cultural
changes among the Zulus. This
work forms the subject of his final
thesis for a doctOrate in phil0s-
ophy.
PROFESSOR Vilakazi comes of
modest family. His father and
grandfather were peasant farmers
on a small settlement in Danhaus-
er. The professor and his three
sisters were born on the farm. He
remembers how his father went to
school for the first time while the
children were growing up.
AbsOlom was more fortunate and
was allowed to go to school while
still boy. After having attended
school at Danhauser, he went to a
Roman Catholic training college at
Marianhill, Natal, and then on to
teaching.
Honors In Anthropology
Studying privately, he made his
way eventually to the University
of Natal, where in 1949 he took
a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in
anthropology. Two years later he
won honors as a specialist in an
thropology.
Of events in South Africa, Pro-
fessor Vilakazi had this to say:
eff the Government continues as
1T is doing now, we are heading for
disaster. The people in power sup
port racial prejudice and | see no
likelihood of their changing their
tactics. They firmly believe in
the things they are doing.
Il see the mood of the Africans
changing and toughening. AS more
and more responsible leaders are
being banned, so is leadership fall
ing into the hands of irresponsible
elements. Something is likely to
happen"

Dallas - A dangerous myth
about tax provisions on petroleum
production has been nurtured by
critics of the oil industry with
"half truths and erroneous impli-
cations" Richard ]. Gonzales, Di-
rector of Humble Oil & Refining
Company told the annual meeting
of the Independent Petroleum As
ISOLATION of America.
In an appearance be fore an
IPAA panel ON taxation, DIR. Con-
zales said the tax provisions do
not constitute any tax advantage,
benefit or preference, but they do
recognize the peculiar nature and
risks of the oil business.
The risks have increased, he said,
with the proportion of dry holes to
total wells drilled now totaling 80
per cent, compared with q per cent
in 1926 vixen the depletion allow
ance was adopted.
The tax provisions, including the
27k per cent depletion provision,
must be maintained, he said, be-
cause they are essential to the pro-
eress, prosperity and security OF
the nation.
He pointed out that Congress
has reviewed the tax provisions
many times since they were adopt
ed and has consistently concluded
that the principle is sound.
However, DIR. Gonzales noted
that some critics are now trying
to divide the industry by proposing
a graduated depletion or limiting
the provision to production within
the United States. He explained
that it would be as unsound to
graduate depletion as to graduate
depreciation rates according to in
come. Since depletion is measure
of capital that should not be taxed
as ordinary income, taxpayers are
entitled to it on both domestic and
foreign production.
In Analysing the proposed eilml-
nation of depletion on foreign pro-
duction, he said, at would be dang
erous indeed to depart from the
basic principle of depletion in or
der to make a devious approach to
the problem of imports. A far
better solution is to stand on the
principles that are basically right
in taxation and in dealing with
imports"
A false Impressions myth
has been created, DR.. Gonzales add
ed, that oil producers do not pay
their fair share of taxes. But, he
said, tie discovery and develop
ment of crude oil in the United
States can be expected to generate
direct tax revenues of about $1.80
a barrel, plus otEer tax receipts
from the related increase In gen.
eral economic activity.
A United States Treasury De-
partment publication shows that in
come taxes paid by companies clas-
sified as petroleum producers rep
resent about 7.2 per cent of their
gross revenue, he said, while the

Drilling Rate
DeclineCited

Dallas-A decline in drilling for
oil and gas in 1857 was described
by an oil industry committee here
as the lowest rate of petroleum ex-
ploration and development in this
country in 10 years.
The Cost Study committee OF
the IPAA told the annual meeting
that the "long awaited increase in
the price of crude oil which was
posted last January did not offset
previous increases in costs"
Tie committee said the January
price adjustment was modest and
inadequate, citing the fact that
"this is the first time that drilling
activity in this country has declin-
ed subsequent to an increase IN

Humble Official Blasts Myth Over
Tax Provisions On Oil Production

amount paid by manufacturing cor
porations is per cent, and 3-9
per cent for all industry.
"The burden of taxes on produc-
ers and consumers of petroleum
seems high rather than low in re-
lation to that on producers and
consumers of other commodities
generally" Dr.. Gonzalez said.
Imposition of an additional tax
burden on petroleum production
would discourage the development
of domestic supplies, reduce future
tax revenues, and hurt our gen
eral economic development by in
creasing TIE price of petroleum
products and causing greater de-
pendence on supplies of foreign
OIL"
DR.. Gonzalez said two other
myths that hurt the petroleum
producer in the United States are:
l. That we are running out of
domestic oil.
2. That the oil industry is fab
ulously profitable.
Examination of the facts" he
said, "shows the fallacy of these
myths.
"The increasing margin by which
productive capacity exceeds de-
mand, tie continuing addition to
known reserves, and the prospects
for development of new reserves
both onshore and offshore should
dispel any current fear of a do
mestic oil shortage.
"The fact that the rate of return
on investments in petroleum is no
more than the average for all
manufacturing and less than in
several other major industries, such
as automobiles and chemicals, pro-
vides evidence that competition
keeps profits from being high on
the average"
If these myths are not overcome,
particularly the dangerous illusion
about preferential tax treatment,
the average man and the nation
will suffer along with oil produc-
ers, DIR. Gonzalez said.

Equality In SiuO
Before his departure, Professor
Vilakazi was interviewed in the In
ternational Club in Durham. This
is one of the few places in South
Africa where all races may, meet
on equal social terms. It's exist
ence is threatened by the Native
Laws Amendment Act, the latest
of the Governments apartheid
laws, which aims to destroy this
form of social contact.
Professor Vilakazi will join the
faculty of the Kennedy School of
Missions of the Hartford Seminary
Foundation, an INSTRUMENTATION
Protestant institution. At the in
terview he had just received his
passport permitting him to leave
South Africa. He had applied for
it in March and, like most Negroes
who apply, was kept waiting for
months without an explanation or
even notification that it would be
granted.
1--WE are accustomed to this sort
of thing and have learned to &C
cept it." he said. Asked why he
had decided to leave South Africa
permanently, he said:
"The decision was pretty well
made for me. Before granting my
passport, the Government suggest
ed that l leave my five children be-
hind. My wife and | refused to do
this. 1t sounded too much like a
q hostage idea, so we applied for
permanent residence in the United
States. That was the only way
we could get our children to &C

least"

months of this year declined by
3,739 wells or 90 per cent com

Inadequate revenues to maintain
