ton, the steel pier at Atlantic City, the oyster beds of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, the reclaimed DOT tions of Florida, the shrimp beds of Louisiana and the docks and harbors, or navigable rivers and lakes of almost every state in the union are involved.
 On the one hand, it is charged that unscrunulous oil companies are behind the fight to protect titles to leases advantageously ob- tained from the states. Yet it is charged that equally unscrupulous promoters are trying to cloud title to the lands in the hope of obtain ing development permits from the federal government. It is claimed that Secretary Harold L. Ickes is trying to put over a stupendous land grab for the Department of Interior.
 Secretary Ickes says: "For eight years have consistently and re- peatedly taken the position that this issue of ownership was a legal one which should, like all similar ones, be resolved by the courts"
 The Department of Justice feels that the question of ownership of these lands certainly is arguable by the courts. Although former Attorney General Riddle termed his original suit a friendly" one, Attorney General Tom Clark has tied no such term to the one he has filed, making the State of Cal iforn'a party to the suit.
 Both Riddle and Ickes have said that they feel Congress is en- croaching upon judicial territory through the resolution, already

BILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION:
 WHO OWNS THE SMILE LIMIT?

WASHINGTON Charges rang ing from bureaucratic demogogery to picking the public pocket in the greatest land grab of modern times have been hurled by both sides in the controversy over whe- ther the federal government or the individual states own title to the submerged lands in the three mile zone of our seacoast.
 AS bitter as the fight is. it isn't out of proportion at all to the bill ion-dollar question which may be settled as result of hearings now coming before the Senate Judici- ary Committee on legislation to abandon all claims to the lands to the states.
 The Department of Justice, in its Supreme Court suit to obtain title to specific oil producing sub merged lands along the coast of California, contends that title to the so-called three-mile zone has never been decided by the courts.
 The fight of the states is spear headed by California's Attorney General Robert w. Kenny, but others claim that far more than oil off Santa Barbara and Long Beach is involved.
 They argue that titles to the re- claimed areas of Back Bay Bos-

passed by the House, and now on, its last legislative lap as hearings open before the Senate committee. That resolution would quit title to the lands, presumably giving them over to the states, lock, stock and barrels of oil, forever.

OF POLITICS AND PAULEY

If we have a political sense of humor, we can still join the pro- fessional politicians in a chuckle about the raking over the coals the Republicans gave another ad- ministration appointee.
 To contest every Presidential appointment that is vulnerable is good politics. If the appointee has enemies in his own party-votes that might go against him to make up majority-he hasn't a chance of even getting the Senate com mittee approval without a vigor- ous going over.
 "Ed" Pauley was a cinch for such going over. He was former chief campaign fund raiser for the Democratic national commit tee. Starting from scratch as an underpaid college instructor, he had made a million or few in "the oil game" His feud with the "Old Curmudgeon," Interior Secretary Harold l.. IckeS, was an open se-t cret. Similar feudS with the State Department and the Department of Justice, or at least certain per sons in them, were too widely ru- mored not to have some basis in fact. His only previous govern ment appointment-that of repar- ations commissioner in Europe and Japan-had been attacked all ready as "a political payoff." His only previous naval experience had been winning the San Fran cisco-Honolulu yacht race Ca good deal more than many secretaries, not to mention undersecretaries, of the navy have had, it might be noted in passing).
 Is it any wonder that, regard l less of his merits or demerits, the opposition considered him a gold en opportunity?
 This doesn't imply any lack of sincerity whatever on the part of persons who appeared against Pauley. There isn't a Republican on Capitol Hill who wouldn't rather wrestle one of the polar hears in the Rock Creek Park zoo than ask "Old Curmudgeon" Ickes to testify for or against anybody.
 But proof positive that the op- position knew what was coming was the fact that it was Sen. Charles w. Tobey, New Hamp- shire Republican, who has been gathering political battle scars for more than 30 years, who was chief inquisitor at the hearings where Pauley's thinning hair was so hot ly singed.
 It is already being freely pre- dicted that the opposition will contest heatedly the appointments of George Allen to the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp. and James H. Vardaman, Jr., to a 14-year term on the Federal Reserve Bank board. w. Stuart Symington, re- gently appointed assistant secre- tary of war, went through his baptism of confirmation fire when he was named Surplus Property Administrator.
 It isn't often that the opposition is able to defeat one of the Presi- dent's appointments. The Presi-

BAKED BREAD MADE MOLD-PROOF

Bread mold, which each year ruins 150000,00O pounds of bread is completely destroyed when the baked bread is heated electroncay for five seconds, stated Dr. William H. Cathcart head of the national bakery laboratories of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea CO.
 Up to the present. certain chemicals added to bakers formulas have merely retarded the growth of mold in bread and other baked goods. Mold spores now be eradicated completely by exposing wrapped bread to hgh-frequency heat generated in electronc "oven Dr. Cathcar reported The taste, physical characers- tics and nutruve value of the bread way alter ed by the electronc rays which penetrate all portions of the bread simultaneously.
 Bread given the electronic treatment remained com petey unaffected by mold after three weeks under mai kitchen conditions of temperature and humidity while mold appeared untreated bread three days a- ter the experiment begun.

299,146 u. s. Wells Were
''Strippers'', Jan. l, 1916

The National Stripper Well as
ISOLATION and the Interstate Oil
Compact commission have complet-
ed their fourth survey of stripper
wells with data from % oil produc-
ing states for 1945 The survey for
1914 was presented at the winter
quartely meeting at Wichita. Kan,
in December, 1945. AS in previous
surveys, a stripper well is defined
as a well whose production expenses
approximate income which permits
an uneconomic deep well with sub
stantial production to be classified
as a stripper well. According to
summary by E. G. Dahlgren:
With 421, 447 producing oil wells
in the nation as of Jan. 1, 1916, a
total of 299,146 or II percent are
classified as stripper wells The
1915 total exceeded the 1914 total
of 296, 1888 wells by 2,758 wells, but
the increase of 1852 producing oil
wells reduced the percentage of
stripper wells from 718 percent"
dealing with Montana alone, the
report shows that as of Jan. /, 1916,
this state had 1885 stripper wells.
with an output of 2.659,709 barrels
during 1945.)
''In 1945 these Stripper wells pro-
duced 230, ,764 barrels of oil or
1875 percent out of a total United
States production of 1,710,971 900
barrels. The average daily produc-
ton per well was Ill barrels for
all oil wells and 81 barrels for the
stripper wells.
1T is interesting to note that the
stripper well acreage of 3,104,410
acres comprises about 46 percent
of the nations oil acreage of 6,719,-
S91 acres. Producing oil wells aban-
doned in 1915 were 9,103, a decline
of 297 from the 1914 total of 9,400
abandonmentS. One assumption for
the decline in abandonments might
be attributed to the federal com
pensation payments which enabled
stripper wells to maintain operation
1T is estimated that the 9,103 pro
ducing oil wells abandoned in 1916
left a total of 18,626927 barrels OF
recoverable oil The 1945 total eX
hibits a favorable trend from previ
Gus years when 100000 barrels
were left in 1914 and 100000 ir
1912.
Item in the summary show:
interesting data about estimated
additional reserves which may bt
recovered from stripper wells BY
secondary recovery methods witt
price increases of Is cents, so cent.
and rs cents per barrel.
Following are the estimates TO
the United States:
Increase of Is cents per barrel
1886, 169,050 barrels; increase of s.
cents per barrel. 1,255,666241 ban
rels; increase of rs cents. per barre
1926, 277, 1853 barrels.
ut is generally conceded tina
there is at least 3 billions of Of
reserves that can only be produce
by secondary recovery methods.
