Maryland 0ffieiaIsAsk
Return Of TideIands
BY The Assoeioisd Press

A congressional subcommittee has
been urged by Maryland's Governor
and Attorney General to provide
legislation which would return own
ership of all tidelands to the States.
State Attorney General Hall Ham,
mond appeared yesterday before a
Joint Senate House Judiciary group
which is considering the tidelands
issue. The Supreme Court ruled IN a
California case that the Federal
Government has paramount right
over lands between low water mark
and the three-mile limit.
Mr.. Hammond said this decision
would nullify a Maryland lease OF
61,440 acres of submerged Atlantic
coast land for oil exploration. The
State lis paid $20,557 rent with a
promise of one-eighth royalty on
any oil which may be discovered.
The Attorney General testified
that in addition, practically all OF
the lands, approximately 100000
acres. of the Chesapeake Bay and
it's tributaries is within the ebb and
flow of the tide" and subject to seiz-
ure by the Federal Government
under the Supreme Court ruling.
Gov. Lane submitted statement
that "Unless the tidelands decision
is refuted by Congress, see nothing
to prevent the National Govern
ment from asserting paramount
rights in and power over any and
all lands of the State of Maryland
and of the other States"

third defeat in IA years.
After more than a months de-

The bill provided that the st.
Lawrence River be made navigable
to ocean-going shipping to connect
the Great Lakes with the Atlantic.
It also proposed setting up 2,200,-
600 horsepower hydroelectric plant
at Massena, N. Y. The United States
and Canada were to split the COSTS
with the American share estimated
at $500,000, 900.
Chairman Dondero of the House
Public Works Committee announced
his group will not hold hearings on
a similar bill.
He expressed confidence, however,
that some day" the st. Lawrence
proposal will win, congressional ap-
proval
Senate critics OF the legislation
prevailed over such advocates as
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan and Senator Aiken.
Senator Vandenberg stepped down
from the presiding officers desk to
plead for approval of the project.
zone day this may well be the Ma
tion's lifeline" he declared.

National Presbyterian
Unit Urged 10 Prevent
Misplaced Ministers
By Cospor konnes

Twenty per cent of our ministers
are round pegs in square holes,9 Will
bur La Roe, jr.. moderator of the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the U. S. A., declared last
night at a meeting in Chevy Chase
Presbyterian Church.
There is a remedy for this and
other weak situations in the denom-
nation, Mr.. La Roe asserted. The
members should establish a national
committee, composed of ministers
and laymen, to act on these prob
lens, he said.
'It is quite possible without bish-
ops and still preserving all the pro-
cesses Of Presbyterian democracy to
solve these problems by appointing
q national committee, well paid and
highly efficient specialists in per-
sonnel and in other church informa-
ton, to do the job" the speaker de-
clared. Such committee would
continue from year to year and
thereby give the denomination a
continuity of leadership, he said.
At Testimonial Dinner.
The revolutionary suggestion was
made during a surprise testimonial
dinner given Mr.. La Roe by the
newly organized Elders of the Pres
bytery of Washington. John D.
Hess, jr., of National Presbyterian
Church, Program Committee chair
man, presided.
Mr.. La Roe, Washington lawyer
who was elected moderator Of the
denomination last May for the ira
ditional one-year term Of ONCE, de-
clared the spending of 100000 on
the personnel problem in one year
would result in returns Of 81 ,000, 600
the second year through strengthen
ing the churches.
Another important problem facing
the body was the urgent need for
more ministers and the elimination
OF churches where the minister does
all the work and hasn't time to do
constructive thinking, the speaker
declared.
During the testimonial dinner Mr..
La Roe was presented a Bible on
behalf of the newly organized Asso-
ciation of Elders Of the Presbytery
Of Washington.
Clark and Martin Speak.
Among those speaking at the AZ
fair were Attorney General Clark
and Senator Martin, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania. Both stressed the
need for a revival in family worship
and support OF the clergy in its task.
Both declared the church was the
fundamental agency to solve the
problems besetting the world today.
The dinner also served as the
medium of announcing the forma-
ton of the Association of Elders,
composed of active and inactive ell
ders of the AZ Presbyterian churches
in the Washington area. First pres
ident of the new organization is j.
Austin Latimer of Sixth Presbyte-
rian Church. Mr.. La Roe Is hon.
orary president. Other officers an
nounced are DR.. Howard A. Edison,
National Church, vice president;
Marcellus c. Shield, Chevy Chase
Church, secretary, and Paul Mavis,
Clarendon, treasurer.
