HOUSE 0KEHS BILL
OF TlDELAND AREA
Measure, On Way To White
House, Would Give
States Title

WASHINGTON, July q -R-
The House today passed and sent
to the White House a Senate-ap-
proved bill giving states clear title
10 tideland areas often rich in oil
deposits.
The roll call vote was 1873 to Ct.
Z The measure renounces federal
claims, raised in recent years, to
the submerged lands along the
coasts and inland navigable water
ways.
Speculation started Immediately
as to whether President Truman
would sign or veto the legislation.
Senate Democratic lie a
Barley of Kentucky declared last
monday, when the senate passed
the bill A to "a, that he hoped it
would be rejected by Mr.. Truman.
. The president declined at his
news conference last Thursday to
Estate his position.
Secretary of the Interior Krug
said on the radio last night that he
planned to recommend a veto to
the White House.
: Krug said he believes it is the
duty of the Supreme court and
not Of Congress to decide whether
the states or the federal govern
ment shall hold title to the dis
.rupted lands. A cas- on the issue
is pending in the Supreme court.
Some legislators have said, how
ever, that a veto might be inter-
preted as a slap at Edwin W. Paul
ey, close friend of the president,
who has vigorously supported the
measure. In turn, they declared,
it would represent a triumph for
former interior secretary Harold
Ickes, who has been vociferous IN
his disapproval Of the bill.
The bills opponents argued that
its passage would mean giving
away of oil reserves needed for
the nations defense.
Supporters replied, that by ira
dition through the years the states
and individuals living, in them
have had undisputed title to the
properties.

Dutch Marine Remembers
Friends In Wilmington
Sends Photos OF Country.

BY RYE PAGE, JR.
Staff Writer

Life behind the desk at the To-
cal Travellers Aid Society bureau,
in the Atlantic Coast Line depot,
is always interesting as we'll as
educational, and it can sometimes
be sentimental.
Such was the case recently when
Mrs. Helen C. Galloway, executive
secretary, received several gifts
from grateful Dutch people who
had received clothing shipped by
local organizations.
Mrs. Galloway had b%efriended
a Dutch Marine named LANCER
welt and upon his return to Hol-
land, he told his friends of the
many nice things she and the
people of Wilmington did for him
during his stay at Camp Iejeune.
When he left this country, he took
one roll Of film to make pictures
of his people. Along with the gifts
Mrs. Galloway received were
photographs, made with this same
film, SO scarce abroad, showing
several persons wearing the
clothes they had received from
local contributions.
E. Klootwyk, an artist, enclos-
ed a water color painting of the
Cunera tower at Rhenen. Neither
lands.
This tower, Klootwyk said in a
later letter, was destroyed by en-
envy bombing the last day of the
war. Also included was a book
entitled Holland and the Canadi-
ans" with two notes OF apprecia-
lion pasted on the flyleaf. The
Hollanders stressed the fact that
they did not want the Ameri-
cans to think they did not app-e-
ciate what was done for them by
the United States, but this book
the only one that they could
find printed in English. It con-
tanned $50 photographs of the
country before and during the
war and a short history of Hol-
land.
W. r. Lambert, professor of
French at a Rotterdam High
school, and author of one of the
notes, said: with our best thanks
with the way ye have helped the
people of Holland" This was sign
ed by three other grateful Dutch.
Langervelt wrote the other one,
also signed by three others, which
read: I'VE sender you our thanks
for the clothing contributed by
the people of Wilmington, It was
signed, "Yours truely, Dutchie'.

Miss Kelley begins her typical
DAY by rising around Z O'Clock to
supervise the cooking of Governor
Cherry's breakfast. Sac said she
could never be certain about the
time ne will eat, but usually it is
between $50 and 9 o'clock.

Her afternoons vary, Miss Reil-
ley said, and never follow the same
set pattern as the mornings. After
she has checked with the chief

usually returns to her upstairs
room. Sometimes she plans her
menus for the coming week. Some
times she darns intricate laceWork
on a torn table cloth. She may
even do a bit of crocheting or sew

she'll try out a new recipe. That's
one of her favorite hobbies.
She always returns to the Kitchen
in late afternoon to see that the

formally served at $50, whether
