Against Oil Law

Sen. Morris Sheppard, D., Tex
today told the senate public lands
committee, considering resolutions
by which the federal government
would claim title to submerged
oil lands off the California coast,
that such seizure overthrows
the basic principle of our govern
ment.'
Similar resolutions sponsored by
the navy, which desires to estab-
lish a naval oil reserve off the
California coast, were considered
last week by the house judiciary
committee, which has not yet acted
upon them.
Sheppard told the committee
that the resolutions challenged the

of all the states. He maintained
that the supreme court long ago
had established the fact that sub
merged lands along and adjacent
to the coast of a state belong to
the state.

services were well attended at Bethel

service the pastor, DR.. Hopes, dis
cussed the Call to Service. "Who Will
Go" Isiah 60. The sermon as usual
was brief. After the sermon, Master
Julius Hendrick joined the church.
Many members offered their subscrip-
ton for the rally and several paid
their pledges. The Sunday School had
a fair attendance. Because the teach
ers and superintendent had to pose
for pictures for the Newspapers the
session was somewhat short. At the
close of the service the Hartford
"Times" had their photographer make
a picture of the church choir which is
engaged in concert singing in churches
of Hartford. At pm. the pastor and
choir held joint service at Emanuel
Congregational Church. The program
consisted of addresses by DR.. Hopes,
pastor of Bethel, and DR.. Fletcher D.

yours truly expected. Chelsea turned
out in full force to help put the boys

enter kindly step forward" However,
another announcement was necessary
before the contestants took to the floor,
and from the noise we heard it was
quite obvious that many of us felt
that hurricane was in the making, es-
pecially after the swing tune started
beating and the contestants started
slapping the floor Finally it was re-
duced to Miss Crawford and her part
ner, Mr.. Grigger, and Miss Johnson
and Mr.. Gaines, and after beating out
a few more tunes in order to pick a
winner, the judges, Paul Reddick, Ker-
lin Freeman, and Bill Haywood, de-
cided to call it draw, decision which
certainly met with the approval of
everyone present, because it seems
that the roof rose about six feet after
which everybody resumed jitterbug-
ging and enjoyed themselves very
much.
