Several weeks ago, Representa-

no decision on the Cord claims.
The only answer he has had is
that the Cord claims, along with
others dating back to 1946, are
under study by Mr.. Chapman.
A reporter got the same official
answer.
It is known. however. that Mr..
Chapman has been giving per-

with the touchy Capitol Hill bat
tie. The House already has passed
a bill giving coastal States title
to a 3-mile sea margin. In the
case of Texas. the limit is 101a
miles.
If Congress adjourns without
acting further. some officials be-
lieve decision on the scrip claims
will be imminent.
If Congress should decide finally
to give the contested coastal areas
to the States. however, it was
understood, the Interior policy
would be to reject the scrip claims
on grounds that the department
would have no jurisdiction.
Cite No Precedent.
Despite the Governments battle
with the States over submerged
lands, Interior officials could cite
no precedent to back up the scrip
claims. On the contrary, depart
ment records show a steady his
tory of rejection in attempts to
grab the priceless sea-bed.

claims for submerged lands re-

merged lands under Federal
mineral leasing act. Officials cited
"a 1947 Attorney Generals ruling,
holding specifically that such
leases can't extend to submerged
lands.
What possibilities would be
open to the Scrip-holders-and
their considerable investment-if
they fail to get the submerged
lands?
There is little of the public do
main left which has not been
withdrawn" by the Government.
But, officials said, scrip-holders
can ask the Interior Secretary to
classify sections Of withdrawn
land and make 1t applicable to
scrip claims.
Much of the withdrawn land is
valuable. But, as far as the pres
ent claims are concerned, Interior
officials haven't come to that
bridge yet.

that Mr.. Cord obtained some of
the scrip land more than 20 years
ago and. in at least one case, as
long ago as 1908.
Meanwhile, the land selections
spotted in geographical detail
beneath the open waters of the
Gulf-are a masterpiece of engi-
neering accuracy.
An example shows up in a pro-
test chart. filed by the California
Co.. which is operating oil wells on
I756 of the 1882 acres claimed.
The chart indicates the claimant
first filed scrip to 1-acre sections
Iof the ocean floor. Then, in each
instance, the 1-acre plot was sur
rounded by 10 additional acres.
"a Wells Covered.
The result, according to the
firms protest, Is that all of it's
I34 operating wells in the Gulf,
producing 1000 barrels of oil a
day. are covered completely. Be-
cause oil drills often are sunk at
an angle, the oil source frequently
lis far removed from the above
water drill housings.
Yet, according to the chart, the
1-acre claims hit almost dead
center on the spots at which oil
actually Is pumped from the sea
floor.
The Cord application based its
claims on five different types of
land scrip. The earliest was is
sued under a warrant act of 1860,
granting 6.133 acres of land rights
to the estate of one Robert Porter
field. The latest, in 1907, con-
f1rmed land grants to one Isaac
Grow.
The largest amount of scrip
filed. claiming 1,370.01 acres, was
issued under the Soldiers Addi-
tional Script Act of 1872. That
act granted 100 acres of public,
non mineral" land to Civil War
veterans.

reau of Land Management. Six
such claims, from August, 1916. to
July, 1850, were against more than
!. 100 acres of land.
These California claims, officials
said, have been held up because a
boundary never has been set to
legally separate California's in
land waters from the marginal
seas. In it's historic 1947 ruling,
the Supreme Court held the Fed
eral Government has paramount
rights over California's marginal
seas. But until the boundary is
set. the officials said, they cannot
know if the land claimed clearly
belongs to the State or is in the
area of disputed ownership.
However. in the Gulf of Mexico,
with its more regular coastline,
the boundary question is of less
Importance. Some of the scrip
claims may be within the inland
waters of Louisiana and Texas.
Some may be far out, on the con-
tinental shelf. But most are be-
tween the low-water mark and
the three-mile limit of traditional
sovereignty.
Cords Claims Greatest.
Since the Cord claims were filed
last February, two other Gulf
claims have been filed, in April
and May, for 40 acres each off the
Texas coast.
But the Cord claim. embracing
1882 acres. far exceeds in size

Cord said the group he heads ac-

Youth, 19, Sentenced
After Admitting Theft
OF S1,716 From Store

A 19-year-old youth was SEN
fenced today by District Court
Judge Alexander Holtzoff to serve
from one to five years for the
theft of $1,716. which had been
handed him at Safeway store to
be put in a bank.
He is Robert E. Miller of the
1900 block of Congress street Sc,
who pleaded guilty.
The indictment did not go into
detail. but authorities said Miller
had been handed the money in
the store, in the 1900 block of
Nichols avenue Sc. where he was
employed, last July.
Money Hidden in Woods.
Instead of taking the money to
the bank, Miller hid bag con-
tanning the money in wooded
area, where he later picked it up
and took a trip to South Carolina
with a girl friend, authorities said.
Miller was arrested in South
Carolina and returned here

of the 400 block of New York ave-
nue. was given from seven months

maltreating the child. He pleaded
guilty.
Housebreaking Sentence.
Armstead was accused of beat
ing the child with an ironing cord
and making her stand all night in
a chair. He contended, however.
that he had only made the child
stand a short while. /.
Armstead was sentenced by
Judge Edward NJ. Curran.
In another case, Judge Curran

of the 1900 block of Seventh

breaking into a room in the HOO

five provide that it be nom
mineral in nature.
Raises Many Questions.
AS a result, the claims raise
many legal questions: Is the land
sought public land?" Is it in
cluded in the vast areas with
drawn" by the Government from
entry under public land laws?
Can scrip rights granted by Con-
gress be taken away by such sub
sequent withdrawals" Do non-
mineral provisions of the acts void
the claims?
Interior officials would not say
whether all these, along with other
questions raised, must be an
swered in reaching a decision.
But such claims were rejected
almost as a matter of routine
before the Supreme Courts re-
cent rulings on the marginal seas.
Further. in rulings on two of
the five types of scrip involved,
Interior has held they can be
applied only to land used for set
tlement. and subject to cultiva-
ton. These rulings are being
cited to reject scrip claims for
non-submerged lands whenever
they arise.

While he was a youth in Mecca,
Mohammed looked around and
saw that his native city had many
bad things about it. There was
much gambling, and a great deal
|of wine drinking. Slaves were kept
in many households.
The youth, we are told, never
spent any time in gambling. Even
when he grew to manhood, he re-
fused to drink wine. A Moslem
writer declares that his early life
was marked by love of the poor,
the orphan, the widow, the weak,
the helpless and the slave"
When he reached the age of IS,
Mohammed was married to a
widow. She was Is years older
than himself, and was a woman Of
wealth.
In the years which followed,
this Arab was a merchant. It
seems that he cared little for riches,
but he was glad to have money
which could be used for good work.
He set free many a slave.
During his long caravan trips,
Moha,nmed did a great deal of
thinking. He learned what he could
about the Jewish and Christian
religions. Among the Arabs, he
saw, that there were men and

Instead of speaking much about
what he thought, Mohammed wait
ed. Then, at about the time Of his
fortieth birthday, he made his way
to cave at the foot Of Mount
Hira. There he spent several days,
and at last believed that ''the
divine light" was shining on him.
He felt that there was a call for
him to go forth and teach other
people right ways of life. and to
tell them that Allah was the lord
of all.

to his new religion. Later he was
