Oil Interests
Continue Fight
TO-. Tldelands

The momentous decision of the
Supreme Court, upholding FEEDER
al ownership of the valuable Oil
lands off the coast of California,
has not ended the rapacity of oil
barons, seeking to exploit natures
resources, or private profit.
A billion dollars may be invol-
we'd.
Justice Black who wrote the op-.
inion said
The crucial question on the
merits is not merely who owns
the bare legal title to the lands
under the marginal sea. The I'm
tied States here asserts rights
in two capacities transcending
those of a mere property owner.
In one capacity it asserts the right
and responsibility to exercise what
ever power and dominion are nee
essary to protect this country a.
against dangers to the security
and tranquility of its people Incl
dent to the fact that the United
States is located Immediately ad-
jacent to the ocean. The Govern
ment also appears in its capacity
as a member of the family Of ma
tions. In that capacity it is res
ponsibile for conducting United
States relations with other nations
It asserts that proper exercise Of
these constitutional responsible
ties requires that it have power,
unencumbered by state commit
ments, always to determine what
agreements will be made concern
ing the control and use of the mar
ginal see and the land under it."
Legislation Matchmaking oil
would settle the issue.
Instead, oil interests will make
another great effort to get legisla-
ton vesting wonership in the
state of California, which has
ranted many permits for prospect
ing. and a good deal of oil has al
ready been extracted from this
area.
Congressman Norris Paulson of
California has started working for
legislation surrendering the Fed
eral Governments interest in Tide
lands to the states.
Senator Sheridan Downey of
California also urged that Con-
gress enact legislation ito secure
a quitclaim",-so states could leg
alize private exploitation of this
vanishing natural resource, which
belongs to the people of America.
Attorney General Tom C. Clark.
will seek legislation to set national
policy on tide land oils, and is CO.
operating with the Department of
the Interior on regulations to per
init present holders Of state leases
to continue exploration and ex-
%ploitation of oil in what is known
as "the marginal sea area",-with
royalties payable to the Federal
Government, instead of to Calf
ornia.
Federal officials are now study
ing what part Of the California
sea area shall be set apart as nav
al oil reserves, and what shall be
left for private exploitation.

Pamphlet Tells
Legal Grounds
For Evictions

To evict a tenant, a landlord
must go to court and prove the ex-
istence of definite grounds. A no.
tice to move is not valid unless
upheld in court, and tenants should
not move until the court orders
them to do so.
A two-page mimeographed bull
letin, issued last week by the Hous-
ing committee of the St. Paul
Branch of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People, supplies the above infor-
nation. Listing five legal grounds
for eviction, the bulletin states that
a tenant cannot be evicted unless:
. Tenant fails to pay rent, or
commits nuisance by using
housing for immoral or illegal
purposes or for other than
living quarters;
. Landlord needs housing ac-
commOdations for his own
use;
. Landlord has sold house for
purchasers immediate and
personal occupancy;
. Landlord intends Immediately
to remodel or replace housing,
has obtained approval, and
cannot proceed with the ten
ant in occupancy;
. Housing accommodations are
non housekeeping, furnished
quarters in a single house not
used as a rooming house,
which is occupied by the land
lord.
"A landlord may not increase the
rent unless the tenant voluntarily
agrees to the increase by signing
a written lease running until De-
ccmber 81, l94s," the bulletin CON
tinues.
If the tenant refuses to sign a
written lease, he is entitled to con-
tinue paying the rent in effect
June 80, l947, unless modified by
subsequent order Of the rent direc-
tor. He may not be evicted except
for one of the five grounds above
set forth"
IF you are in doubt about your
rights" the NAACP advises, "OD
DO not move, C2D do not pay higher
rent, and Oh contact the Housing
committee Copies of the bulletin
may be secured by writing the
