Texas Court UphoIds 1900
Grant of King of Spain

AUSTIN, Tex.-(U.H-A grant
of Santiago Island in the Gulf of
Mexico from King Charles w of
Spain to Padre Nicolas Bali
about the year 1900, still is in
litigation in Texas, and viii not
be finally settled until time has
expired in which the State Of
Texas may seek rehearing of a
decision of its own supreme
court.
The d ecis on, recently an
nounced, held the grant valid
one, though the original docu-
ment was lost when ship was
sunk. The court ruled, too, that a
confirming grant from the Mexi-
can state of Tamaulipas (revolu-
ton having transferred SOW
ereignty TO Mexico) was valid
against Texas, which succeeded
in turn to sovereignty by another
revolution.
Heirs of Padre Balli and his
nephew Juan Jose, together with
persons to whom rights in the
island were assigned from time
to time, numbered GAG when the
State of Texas decided to con-
test title to the island. Some Of
the Bali family still held por-
tons of it. Other parts had
passed TO many individuals, and
oil exploration rights had gone
to major oil companies.
Little attention was paid to
the size of islands in the days
when the Spanish monarch was
distributing western possessions.
The grant referred to 11l2
leagues. Recent surveys showed
80 leagues, or more than $4,000
acres. Texas proposed to the
court that even If the Bali grant
were valid, it conveyed less than
half the island. Judge c. H. Stat
ton replied that the grant was of
an entire island and the whole
island went with it, including
accretions estimated to amount
to a considerable area on the
outer coast.
The island, long known as
Padre" Island, extends parallel
TO the Texas coastline from Cor
pus Christi to near Brownsville.
1t is approximately los miles
long and at places but mile and
a half wide.
Recently the island was sought
by syndicate for a resort site,
and has been proposed as part Of
the route for a hug-the-coast

SENATE CHAOS FROM RULES OF ORDER

Senator Hatch who, even if he
knew what was coming, was
powerless to do anything about it.
The amendment passed 81 to
30, without one word of debate
in the upper chamber, where de-
bate ordinarily is unlimited.
Senator Hatch didn't even have
chance to argue, because Sena-
tor Thomas D-Okla.) moved in
with a motion that the move to
reconsider be laid on the table
which cuts off all further debate
and makes the original vote COM

* II
WASHINGTON, June 19.--It is
a rare thing when the folks who
sit in the congressional galleries
are given an insight into the fast
manipulations that can go on UNI
der rules of order.
In most eases, the laws of the
land are made in committees
Nine times out of ten the fate OF
a bill is foregone conclusion be-
fore it ever reaches the floor OF
either House or Senate. Howey-
er, when the time comes thai
something unexpected comes UP
or a bit of legislative shenanigans
is being worked, fast man in
the chair on matters parliament
tary can almost run his own
show.
A case in point was Sen. Ken
meth Wherry's R-Neb.) amend
ment to the OPA time extension
act making it obligatory that
farm prices be established at d
level that would assure the farm
er a reasonable profit on all
that he produces. The boys ran q
fast one on the opposition lad
ministration. it happened to be
this time) that left them bewil-
dered and befuddled.
During the height of the de
bate on the Thomas and Taft
amendments (neither of which COL
anywhere), Senator Wherry and
staunch administration support.
er Sen. Carl Hatch, of New Mex
leo, were on their feet, asking tt
be recognized. President Pro Ten
Kenneth Mcclellan was in the
chair. The grizzled veteran Ten
nesSeean must have known what
was coming. He recognized Sen.
ator Wherry.
Wherry sent up his highly con-
troversial amendment, asked that
it be read, and Immediately call
ed for yea and nay" vote. AL
of the opposition to amending the
OPA act in any such broadening
of controls was caught flat-footed
