Page 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, July 31, 1951 House Says Return Tidelands (Continued from page 1) within the realm of Congress to decide. After the first decision in 1945 the states gained congressional ap proval of a bill to give them title to the disputed lands. This was vetoed by Mr. Truman in 1946. Since then similar legislation has been introduced each year but nev er passed both branches. Rejects Substitute Proposal In passing today’s bill, which Was introduced by Rep. Walters (D-Pa) the House rejected a sub stitute proposed by Chairman Cel- MSC Urges Payment Of RoomDeposih Students, former students, fac ulty and staff members who 1 have already received confirmation of room reservations in the MSC for the coming school year activities should pay the required deposits as soon as possible said Mrs. Mo- zelle Holland, manager of the MSC Guest Rooms. The early deposit is necessary so that the hotel staff may make the necessary arrangements early and avoid last minute confusion and mix-ups. Cancellations should be made also as soon as possible because of the large waiting list of guests who desire accomodations but were unable to secure them, said Mrs. Holland. “The MSC is booked solid throughout the year for all foot ball games, class dances, and all other major social events. The only date that has not yet been drawn is for Commencement, but I feel sure that all available reser vations will be accepted by the drawing winners,” added Mrs. Hol land. M/Sgt O. D. Hooper Assigned to BAFB M/Sgt. 0. Dean Hooper has re cently been assigned to the Public Information Office as non-commis sioned officer in charge, it was an nounced today by Colonel James C. McGehee, commanding officer of Bryan Air Force Base. Formerly stationed at Mather Air Force Base, California, Ser geant Hooper has been in Public Information work for the past two years. During this time, he served as chief of special events and chief of press. ler (D-NY) of the House Judiciary Committee, known as the Interim Bill. The Celler bill would have vali dated present oil leases, given the Secretary of Interior power to ne gotiate all further leases for five years, given the states 37% per cent of all royalties collected and impounded the remainder until such time as actual title was decided by Congress. A proposal by Rep. Mansfield (D-Mont) to provide that royalties from the disputed lands should go into a fund to aid education was eliminated on a point of order. The House also turned down a proposal by Mansfield which mere ly would have." given states title to lands beneath inland nayigable waters, bays and harbors. Would Limit States It rejected compromise sugges tions by Rep. Case (R-NJ) who would have limited all states to ownership of a strip seaward three miles and to eliminate state par ticipation in royalties collected be yond the 3-mile limit. A proposal by Rep. Burnside (D- WVa) to use all royalties collec ted beyond the 3-mile limit for re tirement of the public debt like wise was rejected. Celler said an effort had been made by proponents of the bill to “frighten the wits out of other states” by contending that the Fed eral Government would take title Kindergarten Set For September 1 The Wee Aggieland Kindergar ten for pre-school children will be gin Sept. 1, with Mrs. R.

Rep. Boggs (D-La) called the Celler bill a “get-a-foot-in-the- door” bill and said once the ad ministration of the leases were given to the Interior Department it never would be returned to the states. Britain Agrees To Send Group For Oil Talks London, July 31 —UP)— Britain arranged yesterday, under advice of American Negotiator W. Averell Harri- man, to send a cabinet mission to Tehran for a new try at settling its bitter oil dispute with Iran. Foreign Secretary Herbert Mor rison announced the decision to Commons. He added that there are a number of points to be clarified before the cabinet mission, headed by Richard Stokes, Lord Privy Seal leaves for Tehran. He refused to disclose what the points are. Harriman, President Truman’s trouble-shooting diplomat, said he was optimistic. He started back to Tehran to be ready to give any help needed. Morrison made clear the British mission was being sent as a result of cabinet talks with Harriman, who made a flying trip to London from Iran Saturday to clear up an Iranian offer to discuss the oil nationalization law on a new basis. Prime Minister Attlee said the United States had “strongly press ed” Britain to accept the principle of oil nationalization in Iran. “We accept that principle,” Att lee said. “The details will have to be worked out. “We have, however, to be pre pared that the Persians (Iranians) may decide to cut off their noses to spite their faces, and this will require a great deal of careful and very patient negotiation.” The months-long stalemate over ownership of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) property in Iran has closed off a major source of oil for the British Navy and West ern Europe.

B. full of B Sqdn. men when Hunt Smith grounded out to the pitcher to end the rally. . Sidney Pitzer was given credit for the win giving up only three runs on four hits and five walks. Losing hurler was Gonzales who was tagged for four runs on eight singles and three free passes. Co. C 5—A Sqdn. 4 A Sqdn tasted defeat as the Troops from Co. C tipped them 5-4. The A Sqdn. Flyers took the lead in the tight hurling duel with two runs in the first on a hit and an error. The Troops got one run back in their part of the first on a four bagger by K. Golasinski. A Sqdn. picked up another run in the second on two hits by Joe Armintor and the pitcher Smith. C Co. matched the airmen’s run on a hit and an error in their half of the second. Two singles in a row by Jay Yar borough and Dick Vick added an other run to A Sqdns’ score. The Birdmen’s hurler Smith weakened in the third and the troops from Co. C utilized two walks and two hits for three runs to go ahead five to four. Two Outs With the tying run on second base and one man away the Infan trymen tightened up and set the next two Flyers down in order to take the tilt 5-4. Cicherski who was on the mound for the troops received credit for the victory allowing only five hits while walking none. Smith who was the losing hurler for A Sqdn. also gave up five hits but issued four free passes which proved fatal. FREE DINNER Watch for Your Name in This Space, Each Week, The . .

Then he listened to General Nam. When the North Korean had fin ished, Joy suggested an adjourn ment until Wednesday — unless Nam had something more to say. Nam II replied he “certainly did have something more to say,” Gen eral Nuckols reported. And he said it. Nuckols did not disclose the Red general’s remarks, but his listeners concluded that Nam asked the allied delegation to reconsider the Red proposal overnight. “I make no predictions,” Nuckols commented at this point. “Both sides fully understand the views of each other, although they do not appreciate and certainly do Tickets (Continued from page 3) W. ville; Mrs. Irene Ryan, Bryan, W.

No Stalemate The briefing officer said he did not intend to give the impression the talks had reached a stalemate over the issue—the second point on the five point prograjn. Asked for his personal impres sion, Nuckols said: “I would say that an area of disagreement continued to exist.” The area of disagreement is something like 2,000 square miles of North Korea. It is rugged hill territory and a natural defense line won by fighting U.N. troops. The present battle line cuts roughly 80 miles across North Ko rea, extending as much as 20 and 30 miles north of the 38th parallel at points, then dipping south across the parallel not far from the Kae song meeting site. The U.N. position is that op posing troops should be in good defensive positions during subse quent truce talks. And, the allies say, you simply don’t find good military positions along such an artificial line as the 38th parallel. Leaguers Construction Bids Called at School Bids on new school construction for the A&M Consolidated Inde pendent School District opened at 3 p.m. today at a special meeting of the school board in the super intendent’s office at A&M Con solidated High School.

Contractors could bid on the whole project or any part of it, according to L. S. Richardson, school superintendent.

Batten, Harrison and Williams were the only Bryan hatters to col lect hits. Williams scored the sin gle run for the Bryan nine. Thomp son was charged with the loss. Hickerson, Batten and Harrison each had a .500 batting average for the tournament. ‘BollWeeviVKeane Outt-Picks AvpvaffP Harlingen, Tex., July 31 —CP)— Ed (Boll Weevil) Keane picked 321 pounds of cotton yesterday, about 100 pounds more than the daily average he must maintain the next six days to live up to his boast that he could pick a bale in a week. The fast-talking disc jockey started at 5:10 a.m. and quit at 7:40 p.m. with an hour and a half for a lunch of grapes followed by a brief siesta.

Keane returned to Harlingen to night in an ambulance, preceded by a police car with siren scream ing and followed by a convoy of a dozen cars carrying a cheering gallery. He got a big ovation from a crowd of 100 as he walked glassy eyed into the Madison Hotel. Spectators at the field today could not tell where he had picked and where he hadn’t. Keane said he hadn’t contracted to clean the field. He drank gallons of water and two quarts of milk during the day. The sky was overcast most of the day but the temperature rose to 96. Before beginning this morning he announced: “I will either pick that blasted bale or be carried out of the field unconscious from thirst or exhaustion.” The “boll weevil” got himself be hind the eight ball a couple of weeks ago by bragging that he could pick a bale of cotton in a week. His companions over a cup of coffee guffawed and put up some money he couldn’t do it. Keane invited any and all tc come out and watch him. “Jus don’t stand between me and tl breeze,” he quipped. If the disc jockey makes good his boast, a Texas cotton exchange will give him five cents a pound above the market price and he’ll win more than $1,000 in prize money. i CS Man Receives British Award During a review of the sopho more class of the U.
