A recommendation for a 5
per cent cut In the oil and gas
depletion allowance and q 10
per cent reduction In maximum
net profit deduction was re-
ported today TO be under con-
sideration by the administra-
ton.
The idea ran into quick and
sharp dissent from the con-
greSsional delegations OF Texas
and Oklahoma. both big oil
States.
A Capitol Hill source said he
was told the Treasury has
taken the view that some re-
duction in the depletion allow
ance. now 27la per cent. must
be recommended In connection
with tax revision and tax re-
duction.
A Capitol tax committee
source said several Treasury
proposals have been discussed
with top committee members.
He said they include oil de-
pletion allowances. but he
didn't know whether this might
be included In the Presidents

Government Operations, as a
minor committee, now has only
a ratio Of six and three. Max

Finance Has II TO Six
Senator Dirksen's chances of

the willingness Of the Demo-
Gratis to continue with a ratio

The Republicans have only
one vacancy on Finance re-
sulting from the retirement of

a safe assumption the Demo-
cratic leadership will accom-
modate the Minority Leader.

Senator Dirksen would take it.

House Republican Leader
Halleck attacked the Demo-
cratic leadershin's move to en-
large the committee. But he
did not appear broken-hearted
after the vote.
Hearers noted that in his
House speech yesterday against
the resolution offered by Mr..
Albert, Mr.. Halleck did not
mention the G. o. P. Young
Guard" uprising in the Repub-
lican House membership con-
ference last Tuesday.
Nor did he seem to exert
himself in behalf Of that
group's proposal to amend the
rules by permitting a Is
member Rules Committee If it
included nine Democrats and
Six Republicans. Under the AL
bert resolution adopted by the
House, the committee will have
10 Democrats and 5 Repub-
leans as it did during the pre-
vious Congress under the tenn
porary increase voted two years
ago.
r'J Earlier Showdown Vote
Republican sponsors of this
series Of suggested flair play"
rule changes were rocked back
on their heels earlier in the
afternoon by a 249-183 House
vote. That vote provided for
an immediate showdown on the
Albert resolution. without OPP
pottunity for amendment.
This was especially disap-
pointing to newer Republican
members who had hoped most
Southern Democrats would join
them in opening the way for
other rules changes, designed
mainly to give Republicans
more members Of the Rules
Committee and a bigger voice
in various other House
procedures.
Still others who might have
lost more than they gained
were members Of the Demo-
cratic Study Group. Many OF
those House Democratic lib
erals had hoped for rules
changes to curb the Rules
Commuters power to stall OF
kill legislation.
An liberals supported the Al
bert resolution and decided not
to jeopardize its chances by
raising q floor fight on even
more controversial proposals.
There werd no signs today that
they could effectively renew
their battle this year.

today the earliest time at which
a public hearing could bC

weeks.
Before a hearing is sched-
uled, Col. Fullerton said, the
District wants RIA to produce
supporting data for an esti-
mate of costs, plus a plan for
the relocation of families and
business firms to be displaced.
Two key provisions in today'S
final plan would:
/. Eliminate licensed room
ing houses.
2. Clear away and pay for
relocation of more than a score
of light industrial plants in the
area.
A few last-minute changes
were incorporated that affected
RLA's responsibility to property
owners.
District Engineer Commits
sioner Frederick j. Clarke in
sisted that before RIA is per-
mited to condemn a property
for noncompliance with the
plans provisions, the agency
should be required to inform
owners "juSt what they have
to do" He maintained the
original draft was too vague
in setting forth RLA's role in
specifying items Of work to be
done.
About 70 per cent of thu
dwelling units in the area
would be subject to purchase
by RIA If owners fail to con-
form them TO the plans up
grading requirements.
All property, whether or not
in conformance now. will be
inspected after the plan be-
comes effective.
When all work is completed,
including construction of new
private and public housing, the

units will be increased by $50
units.
Controversial Proposals
Among the most controversial
Of the plans proposals in re-
cent months we're the ones To
ban licensed rooming houses
and to eliminate light indus
trial plants.
But the prohibition In earlier
drafts Of the urban renewal
plan against the two types OF

TSHOMBE YIELDS
A BIT TO u. N.

ELISABETHvILLE, Katanga
Jan. 10 (AP) With his army
disintegrating and his contro
over Katanga shattered, Pres
ident Noise Tshombe yielded a
bit today TO the United Nations
after a brief period OF house
arrest.
Accompanied by q police jeep
he set out ahead Of a U. N
column to urge his scattered
troops not to resist q movement
70 Sakania, an important point
on the North Rhodesian border
about 100 miles southeast d
this Katangan capital.
In ordering his house arrest
the United Nations had de-
manded that the President
guarantee freedom of move
ment throughout the secession
list province. Apparently he was
released, however, after giving
assurances only for the Sakania
movement.
Arrested Last Night
Mr.. Tshombe's arrest was
ordered last night by u. N
Secretary General u Thant
after the Katanga leader again
threatened to blow up the big
industrial installations and n.y.
droelectric dam at Kolwezi, $50
miles northwest of Elisabeth
vile.
Mr.. Thant demanded that
Mr.. Tshombe guarantee peace
full U. N. entry into Kolwezi.
The U. N. also has repeatedly
demanded freedom of move
ment throughout the province.
It was not clear why Mr..
Tshombe was released with
only a partial guarantee of
freedom of movement in Ka-
tanga, or why u. N. forces did
not move on Kolwezi, the most
important town still in Ka-
tangan hands.
The United Nations may be
holding up an advance on Kol-
wezi in fear that white mer-
cenaries and their Katangan
soldiers will blow up vital min
ing and power installations
there.
U. N. forces are concentrated
at Jadotville, about 80 miles
southeast of Kolwezi in North
Katanga.
Goes UnescOrted
Katangan sources said Mr.,
Tshombe tried to leave his
presidential palace last night.
U. N. Tunisian troops stopped
him. enforcing the house arrest
order.
1t was understood Mr.
Tshombe then contacted the
British consul in Elisabethville
and through him offered U. N
troops freedom of movement to
Sakania. U. N. authorities then
agreed Mr.. TShombe could &c
free.
Katangan sources said Mr.,
Tshombe declined a United Ma
tons escort in leading the u. N.
advance.
Meanwhile, Katangan sources

the White House laid partic-
ular stress on the fact that
only three Of the 80 freshmen
Democrats voted against the.
President.
BY contrast, IL OF the 40.
Democrats who gave up or lost
seats last November had voted
against the President on the
Rules Committee issue in 1861.
This lent support TO the be-
lief that despite the slight
numerical setback TO the DEM
ocrats in the last election, the
President may actually find
more hackers In his own party
than he had In the last Con-
greSs.
Southern support
The dramatic increase in
Southern support for his posi-
ton was another indicator
pointing the same way. Over
half the Dixie Democrats voted
for the increase this time, with
major breakthroughs in Flor
ida. Georgia and North Caro-
lima.
Some OF these alliances we're
temporary and self-serving, the
White House acknowledges. But
as one official said. you can't
make a deal with a guy II he's
afraid 10 be associated with
you"
For the moment At least, /"
another White House source
remarked, "Southerners don't
seem 10 be afraid 10 back the
President. despite ole Miss and
the Republican election gains
down there"
There is a long legislative
road ahead. but as far as the
President Is concerned. II could
hardly have had a more au-
spicious start.
