The report js titled “The Impact

of the South.” j \ '
. Pointing out , that in physical
resources Texas and other south
ern and southwestern sections of
the country chiefly depend on oil
and natural gas, the report de
clares that the very life blood of
these states’ economy is being
drained away daily in ever in+
creasing amounts!. It(is a problem
which calk for immediate and
■S serious consideration if drastic
harm to the states is to be pref
vented, the report said.
The report continues to say that
the supply “will dwindle sharply,
during the next 20 years,” leaving
this* section of the nation “indeed
a blighted area.”
