However, there can be np dispute about the fact that Rainey “** Texas University, presumable for •vir It is doubtful that Rainey would re accept the presidency of Texas University now, if all the regents west down on their knees to ask him bsck—which isn’t likely So it seems to us that Dr. Dobie ought either to make such a compromise at Webb p U m,’ S,S ^ if Painter is still “persona non fcrat*" to him.

Many have considered the Tidelanda Oil Case strictly an issue between the State of California and the national government. When the case began in 1937, it was thought only that the government claimed certain land off the California coast and was suing the oil companies to obtain it As analysis of the chronology of events of government action shows that originally former Secretary of the Interior Harold Ick- es advanced a claim for the submerged lands, through former Attorney General Biddle, to recover leases several oil companies had bought in a 15-square-mile area from the State of California. The public was told that this was a suit against the big oil companies.'* Then the government changed its mind snd Attorney General Tom Clark was pfersuaded to dis- mlas the local suit against the oil comiwnies and file me wsuit In the Supreme Court of the United States against the State eg Cal- ifornia. aw fro mone contesting the righto of the oil companies to the sub- U1 *rge® IukI" t contest at the riglito of the ■ute of California to all of her Mubmergnl lands along the coast some 3000 square miter deci81on °f the Supreme Court uph'i|<img the ruling of the United States the rights of any state to its coastal terri- UonTble 10 ltil navi & tbte waterways is ques- ; r?T?® s ‘ ble ®i| d of ^is entire procedure *!? 5 >r .i^ be n ^ tjonal government to claim all of the submerged lands of the ^ consequently those industries ejuch derive livelihood from these areas.
