The President obviously relished
the entire evening. He almost

Many of his hearers supposed
he was talking mainly to prospec-

he declared that the winning OF
elections was a matter of sales

the right ideas the people will be
willing to listen, but the man
must go out and sell what he

The loudest laugh came when

critic-but then decided not to

Truman Tags Oil Bill

President Truman hung a label
of robbery in broad daylight
last night on legislation giving the
State clear title to oil-bearine

He thus indicated plainly thai
he will veto the bill on which
Congress completed action Friday
The President vetoed a similar
bill in 1916.
In his speech to the Americans
for Democratic Action, the Presi-
dent declared the oil that lies
under the sea off the coasts Of
this country belongs to the Fed.
eral Government. That means
he said, it belongs to all the
people. He said ownership ha.
been affirmed and reaffirmed by
the United States Supreme Cour1
and the rights to the submerged
wealth may be worth as much a!
$40 billion.
The Supreme Court has stated
that, as the law now stands, the
Federal Government has para
mount rights" to the submerged
lands, and full power over them
but has not said the Federal
Government owns them. 1t has
not defined definitely the distinc-
ton between ownership and para
mount rights.
Paramount Rights Cited.
eff we back down on our de-
termination to hold those rights
for the people," Mr.. Truman as
serted, "We will act to rob them
of this great national asset. Thi.

This would be robbery on a co.

SAFETY MESSAGE
Go to Court as Visitor Not Violator
Safety Head Advises

Go to Court as Visitor Not Violator
Safety Head Advises
go to traffic court as a visitor,
not as a violatori"
That was the advice of j. James
Ashton, Manager of the Delaware
Safety Council.
Contrary to popular belief, those
who are in the enforcement end of
the traffic safety field don't want
the motorists money" Mr.. Ashton
said. "The success of their activ-
tiles, is measured in terms of lives
saved-NOT in the amount of fines
collected in the traffic courts.
They don't want your money. They
want your safety.?"
Traffic fines as a deterrent to un-
safe driving, according to Mr.. Ash
ton, are necessary in any state as
motorized as Delaware. But to
think of these fines as punishment,
he said, is to lose sight of the real
purpose of the enforcement pro-
gram.
