STATE CLAIM
TO OIL WELLS,
COURT TOLD

LOS ANGELES, Feb. "a. UP)-
TIL estate of California has no
claim to harbor tideland oil wells
that are tapping a pool estimated
to contain $500000.000 worth of
oil. Louis w Myers, former chief
justice of the California supreme
court, argued today in Superior
Judge Emmett H. Wilson'S court.
Myers represented the Union
Pacific railroad and the Ford Mo-
tor Co., who with the cities of Long
Beach and Los Angeles. are oppos-
ing the states attempt to obtain
a preliminary injunction to halt
drilling.
The oil wells are located on tide
lands in Wilmington harbor. Long
Beach harbor, and Terminal Is
land.
Myers argued that the tidelands
were first granted to large land
owners by Mexico, while California
still was owned by Mexico
Then. he contended, the U. S.
government confirmed the original
grants.
Loren A. Butts, representing the
city of Los Angeles, argued that
in 1911 the state decided the Will
mington tidelands to the city of
Los Angeles and therefore had no
right to the oil
Attorney General u. S. Webb,
accompanied by an impressive ar
ray of assistants, was at the hear
ing today and, following Myers
argument and those by Long Beach
attorneys, was to argue the states
side of the dispute.
