Here 10 Press
oil Land Claims
Rights to Offshore
Areas Are Subject
Of Joint Hearing
By the A,sociofsd Press

Nearly 70 State officials, headed by
nine Governors, lined up today to
tell Congress that the States should
be given outright ownership Of OIL
rich, offshore lands within their
boundaries.
All this week representatives of
virtually all 48 States will present
their case to combined subcommit-
tees of the House and Senate Judi
ciary Committees.
Next week three members OF Presi-
dent Truman's cabinet, bolstered by
a recent Supreme Court decision.
will argue that the lands belong to
the Federal Government and their
oil and gas resources should be de-
veloped and conserved for national
security and the national economy.
Clark Due to Testify.
Scheduled to appear for the Fed
eral Government are Attorney Gen.
eral Clark, Secretary of the In
terror Krug and Secretary OF De-
fense Forrestal
The States urge passage of BILL
sponsored by the National Associa-
tion of (State) Attorneys General,
to surrender any Federal claim to
ownership of lands beneath naviga-
BILE waters. This includes the beds
of inland rivers and lakes as well as
ofshore coastal lands out to the s.
mile limit or to the State boundary
where it extends beyond miles.
While the Federal Government
has made no claim on inland SUBJ
merged lands, State attorneys gen.
eral contend that title to inland and
offshore lands under water has the
same basis in law; and if the Fed
eral Government can claim one it
can claim the other.
Governors to Appear.
That accounts for the interest of
inland States in the issue and the
presence of Gov Frank Carlson of
Kansas and Gov. Ben T. Laney OF
Arkansas to support State owner
ship.
Other Governors expected to ap-
pear before the committee are War;
rem of California, Lane of Maryland.
Cherry of North Carolina, Thur
mond of South Carolina, Jester Of
Texas, Tuck of Virginia and Cald-
well of Florida. Many others will
send personal representatives.

eral of Nebraska and chairman Of

neys General, said at least 40 States
will be represented personally by
