the work it makes possible.
A letter enclosing 100 seals, pric-
ed at 81, has been sent out to al

tributed in this way. Outstanding
on the committees achievement re-
cord is the maintenance Of an an
nual health camp, at which Is child

formation on the subject may also

FIGHT TO SAVE
STATES BEACHES
OPENS in COURT
by United Press Leased Wire


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6.--Invasion
OF the tide lands of California 3
beautiful beaches by a forest of
towering oil derricks was to be ar
gued before the state supreme court
i'll opening session here today.
Seven cases, contesting the re-
fusal of w. S. Kingsbury, surveyor
general of the state, to issue fur
thcr permits for beach drilling or
certain tide lands in Ventura county
were to be heard.
Attorney General Webb has con-
tended that the state holds these
tide lands, and lands which are cor
tinuously submerged, in trust for tLe
public uses of navigation, commerce
and fishing. lie declared that use
Of these lands for oil drilling would
both interfere with these uses and
be destructive.
lie further ruled that the surveyor
general is without authority to
grant the permits asked because the
lands are in trust and that the state
legislature has no power to destroy
the trust.
In refusing the permits Surveyor
General Kingsbury based his action
Upon an enactment of the state leg
isIature in 1921, which gave the sur
fcyor general the right to "use his
judgment -
When he ruled upon this basis in
the matter of applications of the
seven parties now contesting, they
iE'mcdiately sought writ of man
cate to compel issuance of the de-
sired permits. Validity of certain
permits issued some time ago will
also be in question.
