Any Congress Action
On Coastal Oil Issue
Opposed by Wheeler
BY ths Associated Press

Former Senator Burton K. Wheel.
er Of Montana today opposed any
attempt by Congress to decide
whether the Federal Government or
the States own the oil-rich tide
lands.
The big oil companies stand to
gain, he said. no matter whether
Congress passes bill giving the
States ownership or an administra-
ton bill providing for Federal leas-
ing Of the land.
Mr.. Wheeler testified at the start
Of the 14th day of a hearing before
a Senate-House Judiciary Subcom-
mittee on a bill backed by most
States to surrender Federal owner
ship OF all submerged lands within
State boundaries.
Suing In District Court.
"The Government bill is lust as
favorable to the oil companies as
this BILL" Mr.. Wheeler said. THE
Government bill Is entirely In favor
Of the big oil companies as against
the little fellows who go out pros
pecting for oil.''
Mr.. Wheeler, now a Washington
attorney. has filed a suit In Dis
trict Court here In behalf of sew.
eral applicants for Federal leases.
He contends in the suit that the
Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 Is
applicable to the tidelands.
Mr.. Wheeler said there is much
more than meets the eye" in the
interest Of attorneys general of in
land States in the pending legisla.
ton.
He. contended that the Supreme
Courts decision last year In the
California case did not constitute
a threat to State ownership Of in
land submerged lands.
Notification Called Objective.
Speaking of the inland State at.
torneys general, he said their OBJ
Jective Is to procure notification Of i,
the tidelands decision by legislation
quitclaiming the marginal sea to
California.
He said the legislation would
play directly into the hands" Of
the big oil companies, and also
would deprive reclamation States
OF Federal revenues obtained from
Federal oil leases on the tidelands.
Yesterday Harold L. Ickes, former
Secretary of Interior, opposed the
pending legislation. He said the
States. particularly California, have
been wasteful with oil; the Federal
Government can do better Job Of
conservation.
THE States are more interested In
getting revenue" he said.

Soviet source said today the United
States appears to favor reopening
the United Nations plan to partition
Palestine.
This Russian Statement was made
to reporters by a leader in the
Soviet delegation to the United Ma
tions. He made clear this is the
Russian line on Palestine, but he
refused to permit use Of his name
with the statement.
Some persons seem to be hesi-
tant about carrying out the Assem-
bly, decision" the Soviet delegation
source went on, referring to the
November 20 vote to split the Holy
Land into separate Jewish and Arab
countries.
I'VE consider that partition should
be carried out"
He said Russia has mot rejected
conciliation" Of the Jewish-Arab
differences.
Meanwhile, the British delegation
disclosed that Sir Alexander Cado-
gan would attend this afternoons s
secret Palestine talks among the big
powers. The other four agreed
yesterday to invite Britain to send
a representative.
A British spokesman stressed Sir
Alexander had decided to attend
today only to give information and
would not participate In the gen
era! discussions.
The American delegation Is un-
derstood to be insisting that the
nag powers call In the Jews and
Arabs in move to conciliate their
differences. This Is in line with
American efforts to find q peaceful
solution In the Holy Land crisis.
Russia's Andrei A. Gromyko has
described such proposals as worth
less and timewasting In the light
OF past failures on this tack. He
refused to support conciliation Sec
tions of an American proposal in
the United Nations Security Council
last week.
The question remained as to how
far Mr.. Gromyko would go in fight
ing the American idea or what
alternative, If any, he would offer.
United States Delegate Warren r
Austin extended the invitation per-
sonally to Sir Alexander.
The four, nations also asked Sec
retary General Trygve Lie and . U.

meetings. The U. N. assigned
George Barnes, director Of its press
division, to join Mr.. Lie. At the
close Of the sessions Mr.. Barnes
will brief newsmen on what went
on behind the closed doors.
The Security Council last Friday
asked the big powers to consult for
10 days on the Palestine problem
and attempt to find some way to
carry out partition.
The Holy Land issue was referred
to the council by the f1ve-nation
Palestine Commission, which asked
for an international armed force
to enforce partition. The British
plan to leave Palestine May Is. The
