...natural gas depletion allowances-but no Texas politician in his right mind would do otherwise. In 1958, he opposed a school construction grant, and in 1959 he voted to continue expense account tax deductions.

By sponsoring aid projects and raising the economic standards of underdeveloped nations, the Reds are working toward eliminating the discontent that fosters Red revolutions.
