States Rights In Jeopardy

Secretary Harold Ickes of the In
terror Department, reversing his form
er ruling, has decided that all lands
beneath marginal seas and lands re-
claimed from those waters, to which
for ITO years the states have held un-
disputed title, are the property of the
United States and may be disposed of
by the government Notwithstanding
that billions of dollars have been invest
ed in improvements thereon, and in
furtherance of this proposition At
torney General Tom Clark has brought
suit in the United States Supreme
Court in which he contends that the
states and all individuals or firms hold
ing title thereto are trespassers.
Fifty-two decisions Of the Supreme
Court have upheld these titles, but Mr..
Ickes says it is all wrong. He thought
it all right in 1888, when he ruled that
claims filed in his department to Cali
fornia tidelands and oil rights must be
rejected because the lands in question
belonged to the State of California, or
those holding deeds, leases or other
grants from California. "Such title, "
he then held. lis regarded as Incidental

We people, being people, have
the doggonest reactions!
We go along and figure out some
thing very idealistic, like the United
Nations and the Victory Clothing
Campaign, and we decide we're
going to make ourselves a better
world and then we turn around
and look the gift-horse We gave
ourselves in the first place in the
mouth.
All of which is just a roundabout
way of saying that people here
in New Hanover county have shown
themselves to be the SWEETEST folks
on earth by pitching in and help.
ing a distraught family out of its
difficulties.
And, yet, there are some people
you know how to put proper
emphasis on that "some people,
who'll tell you any and everything
about peoples generosity.
I cannot tell you why this is
so. 1t probably has something to
do with psycho-analysis. lin.
cidently, recall a story my father
used to tell me about psyche.
analysis. He said a friend OF his
had a daughter who had fooly-fits.
His friend took her to all kinds OF
doctors; spent a lot. of money on
her. The doctors didn't do any
too much about it. Finally, this
friend Of my fathers figured out
cure for this little girl. He took
her out to the woodshed-you
remember those places where you
used to get spanked. After he'd
finished with her out in the wood
shed she didn't have fooly-fits any,
more.)
1t doesn't seem to be enough
that people here just happened to
have a fellow-feeling for the Brew
ers. The Brewers, as you've proba-
bly, read, are the family who had
their home burned down and Joyce,
nine-year-old daughter member of
the family, had presence enough
of mind to save her brother, Len
non, from the fire.
Well, in getting around, I've
heard a few sniping remarks about
the fact that the Brewers now have
more than they ever had before.
That is a matter of record. Mr..
Brewer says so himself. And he's
very thankful about it. He's got
the same kind of emotions about
it that you'd have if your house
burned down and your little girl
saved your next to the youngest
boy from the fire.
Well, again, what say is if the
folks Of New Hanover county-and
like to refer to them as Good
Neighbors; not euphoniously but
feelingly-wanted to be friendly to
the Brewers, then, that's just an
other indication that folks aren't
so bad after all.
To use Mr.. Brewers own words:
81 lust don't know what to say
unless say that people are just,
well, good
Then get somewhat ruffled when
somebody comes along and says
something like this: How come you
90 OVERHEARD helping guy? Didn't
he work at the shipyard and make
lot of money? because it's so
r;diculous on the face Of it will |
not tell you how much money this
friend of mine said Brewer made
each week.
Well-that word keeps popping
up-all I've got to say is this:
You figure how much it takes to
teep op a family of five children
Count up the cost Of shoes and the
shredded wheat and the eggs. If
Vol think you can get by on Just
little bit OF money, then I'd like |,
to find out how you do it.

The News
BY MORRIS J. HARRIS

| ASSOCIATED Press News ANALYST
and former CHIEF of bureau at
Shanghai
A special Senate military sub.
committee studying Rehabilitation
has asked for an inventory Of
Army and Navy surplus property
scattered around the world. This
presents the services with a cues.
ton to which even the Surplus
Property administration says there
is no factual answer.
Even so, Acting Secretary Of
War Kenneth c. Royal has prom.
ised to supply a list.
The question of surplus property
and its disposal are coming in for
increasing attention in Congress
sional circles. 1t is the belief Of
the special Senate group that mill
tary goods over the world and
the asserted Discrimination of the
services to declare them surplus
are slowing the return of service
personnel to this country.
General Eisenhower said in his
speech before the combined meet
ing of the House and Senate that
if rehabilitation continues at the
rate established a few months ago
vast stores of military equipment
abroad would have to be abandon
ed because there would be ne ons
there to care for it.
Proponents of increasingly rapid
rehabilitation are demanding that
more Of the goods be declared
surplus and sold.
Estimates of the amount Of these
materials on hand both at home
and abroad vary from $10,0OOWo,
GOO to $25, 600, 100000, which Wold
make their disposition the worlds
biggest operation.
It is the goods abroad that are
causing the SURPRISES to become
a part of the Rehabilitation ISSUE
Up to now these stocks are e.
timated by those seeking TO dispose
OF them at anywhere from So'wN'
to $4,000, 100000 at pro-

TOP o. THE MORNING

So many burrows in so many lands,
And 10! the earth's surface has been titled,
To meet the worlds need, granaries are
filled.
Because men pillow, there are these golden
yields
Because their silver shares have pierced
the sod
And they worked together with their God.
There will be bread while men have
faith to pillow.
We thank Thee, God, for the heartening
thought of men
Sowing and blowing and reaping, to plant
again.

for claims to land under the seas off
California by oil operators, he did an
about face, his only explanation being
that when I pull boner it's a good
one"
10 stop this, resolution passed the
House of Representatives with but
eleven dissenting votes quieting States
titles to these lands. Similar legislation
is pending in the Senate.
Meanwhile former Attorney General
Biddle caused a suit to be filed in the
Federal District Court of Southern Cali
fornia against the Pacific Western Oil
Corporation, lessee of certain lands
under the State Leasing Act, claiming
the lands in question on behalf Of the
Federal Government. This suit was
subsequently dropped and the substi-
tute filed by Attorney General Clark in
the U. S. Supreme Court.
Should the Senate fail to enact legis-
lation similar to that already approved
by the House, and a decision for the
government be found in court, every
title, leasehold or other right to lands
under the seas surrounding the United
States, it's navigable rivers and inland
lakes, every title or other right to "fill-
ed lands" and titles and installations
in every port and harbor, would pass
from the owner to the United States.
1t is impossible to place a monetary
value on losses of the affected states,
the corporate and private owners and
lease-holders, but here is a partial pic
ture of what the government literally
would confiscate:
Half of the City of Boston, including
nearly all of the Back Bay area, the
South and North Stations, and railroad
rights Of way leading to them, and mil
lions of dollars of other property, on
"filled in land" with settled titles going
back to original grants from the Com
of Massachusetts.
Chicago's richest area - the famous
"Gold Coast" lying north of the Chicago
River and east of Michigan Avenue -
is on "filled in land" with titles, worth
hundreds of millions of dollars, traced
back to the State of Illinois.
In Detroit, large and costly improve
ments in the Crosse Pointe area, and
other sections, are on made land"
New York's vast harbor, through
which the commerce of the world moves,
depends on docks and piers which rise
out of the Hudson or East Rivers, or
New York Bay, built on grants made bv
the State to the New York Port Au-
thority or to firms and individuals.
Much of the great harbor Develop
ment of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
including large sections of Terminal
Island, rest on land filled in from the
Pacific ocean, and title goes back to
the State of California.
The great shrimp industry Of
Louisiana and Florida; the oyster in
dustry, and other fisheries, depend
upon rights to the ocean bottom grant,
ed by the states concerned. |
Mineral rights have been granted
by the states to individuals and COR
porations on the basis of the states'
title to lands beneath the ocean and
river - such rights as oil leases in
Southern California, Texas and Loui-
slana; prospective oil leases under the
seas off North Carolina; rights to coal
deposits under rivers of West virginia
and Pennsylvania, etc.

sent for DR.. Chester, who came and
preached to group of Is persons
on February %, 1864, in a frame
schoolhouse at First and Carroll
streets Sc. After the service 10
persons formed q group to work
for the organization of a church.
The persons were among those
who attended two Sunday schools
already meeting in that part of
the city. One class, under the
leadership of Charles Lathrop, met
in a schoolhouse at Third and A

met in the home of George E.

May. 1878. The congregation shortly
afterwards moved to a building at
Third and A streets Sc, where the
organization of the church took
place.
The membership quickly outgrew
the last building. Through the in
fluence of B. B. French, Commits
sioner of Public Buildings, a large
room on the first floor of the House
wing of the Capitol was used for
Sunday services. With the recon-
vening OF Congress, the congrega-
ton returned to the cramped quar-
tiers on First street, worshiping
there until February IL, 1865, when
they dedicated a chapel on the
southern portion of the present
site at Fourth and B streets Sc.
At the time the chapel was
dedicated a board of trustees wa,
chosen, consisting Of H. c. Brown
ing, Walter S. Nicholson, William
Kellow, John Robertson and Charles
H. Pearson. Mr.. Pearson was
selected as treasurer Of the board.
BY April 10, 1868, the foundations
of a new building were laid. Al
this juncture it was proposed that
the Capitol Hill Church unite with
the Metropolitan Church, the lat
ter's name to be kept and the pro-
ceeds of the sale of its property
on E near Sixth street NV. tt
go to the Capitol Hill congregation
The Synod of Baltimore approved
the proposal and the consolidation
of the two groups took place. Tht
structure was dedicated December
8, 1872.
DR.. Chester retired March 81

the Rev. DR.. George N. Luccock
1894-19O4; the Rev. DR.. Albert
