House Says Return Tidelands

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

C. McGehee, commanding officer

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

“That is balderdash, tommyrot,”
he said. “The Federal Government
never had any claim to any inland
waterways.”
Celler predicted that if the quit
claim bill reaches the president, he
will veto it.
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.

inning rally and came within one
run of tying the score. Eastham
Nedbalek and Labowitz had scored
runs and the bases F. O. 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.

When the North Korean had fin

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.

not agree with each other.
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.

Price Controls
Discussion Set
Price controls and regulations
will be discussed with businessmen
of Brazos County and the nearby
area in a meeting to be held in
Bryan Wednesday.
The discussions will be led by
price specialists from the Houston
District Office of Price Stabiliza
tion. The specialists will conduct
a clinic at the Chamber of Com
merce, 603 A^arisco Building from
9 a. m. until noon.
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.
