Senate Delays Vote
On TideIands Bill
Until Tomorrow
BY the A,socioted Press

The Senate yesterday put off until
3 pm. tomorrow vote on bill to
yield Federal claims to tidelands or
lands beneath navigable waters
within the boundaries of States.
At that time sponsors said they

Sprove revised measure already

Measure an amendment by Senator
O'Mahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming.
which would reaffirm the Federal
Governments claim to the conti-
mental ocean shelf wherever it ex-
tends beyond State boundaries. This
previously had been claimed by
presidential proclamation.
Former Secretary of Interior Ickes
was pictured by Senator Overton,
Democrat, of Louisiana, as the orig
inator of the controversy over
whether the States or the Federal
Government own the tidelands,
many areas of which are dotted
with producing oil wells.
Senator Overton told his COL
leagues the question was not con-
troversial until Mr.. Ickes suddenly,
and overnight as it were, undertook
to change the policy of the Federal
Government and his Department of
Interior"
Senator Donnell, Republican of
Missouri, acknowledged that Mr..
1ckes had reversed his original stand
that the areas belonged to the States,
but said the former cabinet member
discovered in time that humanity
is fallible and that he had erred in
his (earlier) conclusion"
The Missouri Senator contended
the question of State or Federal
ownership ought to be determined
by the courts. although the Judiciary
Committee, in approving the bill
previously. had reported that an
unbroken line of court decisions had
upheld State sovereignty over the
lands in question.
Majority Leader Barkley contend
ed that the bill represents an effort
to nullify Federal suit against the
State of California. claiming Fed
eral title to lands between the low
water mark and the three-mile limit
at sea.

House Consideration
|0f 5treamIine Bill
Likely This Week

Hope for passage of the bill to
streamline Congress before this ses-
sion ends frightened late yesterday
when the House Rules Committee
gave the green light to redraft
of the Senate measure.
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crat, of Oklahoma, who joined with
Representative Dirksen, Republican,
of Illinois in presenting a compro-
mise version of the bill to the House
Friday, expects to get House con-
sideration by the middle Of this
week and is optimistic over the out
look. The special rule granted yes
terday makes the bill in order with
two hours of general debate, after
which 1t will be read for amend
mentS.
Reduce Standing Committees.
One of the main features of the
bill Is the reduction in number of
standing committees. The Senate,
before passing the bill June 10, voted
to consolidate its 80 existing COM
mittees into 16, leaving the House
to determine its own committee
structure. The new House version
merges 48 House committees into
10. On both sides of the Capitol
the District OF Columbia Commit
tees are retained.
Both versions of the bill raise the
salary of members of Congress from
$40, 900 to $4,000 year and make
it possible for members to join the
Civil Service retirement system on
a contributory basis. If the bill be-
comes law, the present $2.500-a-year
expense account account Of men,
bers would be repealed.
A move may develop in the House
to cut the basic pay increase to
$l2 500 and keep the expense allow
ance, but supporters Of the bill are
expected to urge the straight in
crease plan.
Rewrites Senate Plan.
The new House draft rewrites the
Senate plan for keeping the Federal
budget in closer balance, but it still
provides for joint action by the
committees handling appropriations
and taxation. 1t also provides for
fixing an overall budget limit for
each year, with provision for pas
sage by both houses of resolution
authorizing the additional debt
when proposed appropriations ex-
ceed estimated revenues. The House
version, however, eliminates the
Senate ban on passage of any ap-
propriations bills until such reso-
luton is adopted.
The House also drops the Senate
provision delegating discretionary
authority to the President to make
cut-backs in appropriations If in
the middle of fiscal year he finds
expenditures are exceeding the limit
fixed by Congress in the additional
debt resolution.
Eliminates $4,000 Assistant.
The House bill eliminates for
House members the $1,000 admins
trative assistant the Senate voted
for each member of Congress.
Most of the other House changes
are minor and relate mainly to
House procedure.
There are strong indications Con-
gress will try to adjourn by the end
of this week for the remainder OF
the year. If the bill is not enacted
this year, it would have to be REIN
troduced and start over again in the
Senate in January.

TB AMONG THE YOUNG

Of all the diseases which afflict
man, tuberculosis takes the greatest
toll of lives among young people be-
tween Is and 35 years of age.
Tuberculosis is no repecter of per-
sons-it strikes young and old, rich
and poor. No race is immune to it..
Wherever it strikes it brings suffer-
ing. No one can say who suffers most
from tuberculosis. 1t is always tragic
for the individual to learn that he
has the disease, and it is tragic for
his family, whether he is young or
whether he has passed the bloom of
youth and is approaching middle age.
Certainly it is tragic for young
man or woman about to begin busi-
ness career or about to be married to
be stricken with tuberculosis. The
years between Is and 35 are the
years of promise and the years which
see the beginning of the fulfillment of
the promises of youth.
While more people 40 years of age
and over die from tuberculosis than
young people, just as deaths are
more common in the older age group,
tuberculosis is the most deadly of all
the diseases which attack young peo-
pie from Is to 35.
tuberculosis at that age is by no
means a death sentence. 1t can be
cured at any age. But the treatment
for the disease means an interruption
of iu;f he
The risk of catching tuberculosis
would be greatly reduced if young
people early formed good health hab-
it's and adhered to them throughout
their lives.
OF course, the surest way of never
getting tuberculosis is never to come
in contact with tubercle bacilli, the
germs which cause the disease. But
we can never be sure we shall not
come in contact with the disease-in
fact, we can be certain we shall. We
can arm ourselves in advance, how
ever, so that when we meet the germs
we, not they, are the victors.
Young people should build up re-
sistance to the disease by getting a
good nights rest every night-from
to 10 hours-by eating nourishing
meals which include meat, green's
fruits and cereals, not to mention the
all-important milk, by remembering
to wash the hands always before eat
ing, by having periodic physical ex
aminations which include chest x
ray. An X-ray of the lungs will revea
the presence, or absence, of tubercu
losis. II one does get the disease, it h

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM NOW
PERMANENT

AS schools open this fall, the
School Lunch Program will go into
action again-but on a new basis OF
.opermanency Congress was convinced
of the value of the program and in
the School Lunch Act passed last
Spring provided for continuing Fed
eral aid for school lunches. The peo-
pie who have been handling local
programs can now act with conf
dence on their long range plans that
have not seemed quite safe and prac-
tical while support for school lunches
has been on year to year basis, says
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
which will administer the appropria-
ton. This permanent program for pro
viding lunches that are nutritionally
we'll balanced now warrants arrange
ments for permanent equipment and
lunch room space in the many schools
where the year-to-year programs
have convinced parents, teachers and
school authorities of the value of
this service.
The School Lunch Act provides a
basis for allotmnet of the $75,OOO,-
600 of Federal Funds available for
support of the lunches this year. The
number of children of school age and
tke PEI capita incomes in the State
provide the basis for alloting the Fed
eral funds. Payment to the States is
on a matching" arrangement, but
this is modified by per capita in
come" provision. In general, the act
calls for dollar for dollar" match
ing this year But if the per capita
income in a State is less than the per
capita income for the Nation as a
whole the matching" sum to be
raised in the State is reduced by
whatever percentage the State per
capita income falls below the Nation
al.
Another difference from some of
the Federal aid plans is that the al
lotment to the States does not depend
on State legislation and appropria-
ton of funds. During the years VIXEN
the lunch program has been growing,
the lunches have been financed in
various ways, some by school appro-
priations, but many by sponsoring or
ganizatins such as parent teacher as
sociations, service clubs and farm or
ganizations. Such financial support
will continue to be regarded as
matching" as will donated labor and
food.
The Production and Marketing Adj
! ministration manages the program
for the Department of Agriculture
and cooperates with State education
al agencies-designated by the State
Governors this year. Tie PIMA can
also make direct agreements with
schools not included in the public
school systems. The law forbids any
discrimination or segregations as be-
/ tween pupils who pay and those who
do not pay for their lunches.
