Alabama Challenges
Law on Tide|dnds
BY the Assoeiofed Press

The State of Alabama yester-
day challenged the constitution
ality of the Submerged Lands
Act, and claimed equal rights
with its neighbor States to the
eGulf Coast fisheries.
In a petition filed with the
United States Supreme Court, it
thus took a new approach in at
tacking the 1853 law which was
designed primarily to give coast
al States the right to oil devel-
opments in the submerged lands
along their borders.
Arkansas has pending a suit
challenging individual States
rights to the submerged oil and
to money which has been re-
allied from leases and royalties.
Alabama sought to have the
entire law declared unconstitu-
tional, but it also specifically
challenged claims of three Gulf
States to the area between 3 and
10 miles from their shores. It
contended they have no right to
demand licenses for shrimp, lob
ster, crab and other fishing off
their shores.
1t said such licensing rights
are being claimed by Florida,
Texas and Louisiana, to the
detriment of Alabama citizens.
It asked the court to permit it
to sue those three States and
California which, like Texas and
Louisiana, have the largest
claims to underseas oil.
In addition to the four States,
Alabama directed it's suit against
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey, Secretary of Interior Nc
Kay, and Mrs. Ivy Baker Priest,
Treasurer of the United States,
the Government officials most
directly concerned with the ad-
ministration of the lands and of
funds impounded from them.

| Indo-China Rebels
| JoIted in Big Clash
| With Wet Namese
By The Assoeie4ed Press

HANOI. Indo-C China, Sept. 26.
Wet Mimi troops tonight ap-
peared to have embarked on a
campaign aimed at destroying
the newly formed Wet Namese
light battalions in the Red River
delta.
The French high command
announced that one of the Wet
NameSe battalions in the Buichu
sector, about rs miles southeast
Of Hanoi, had been strongly at
tackled by heavy Wet Mini
forces.
1t said the Wet Namese had
repulsed the communicated Wet
Mimi in bitter hand-to-hand
fighting in a village near Buichu,
killing so Wet Mimi, but the
Wet Namese suffered important
losses"
135 Killed in MOpup.
The Wet Mini attacked last
night with mortars, machine
guns, rifles, pistols and grenades.
They followed this assault by
striking at another of the new
Wet Namese battalions south
east of Buichu, but the results
of the second clash were not
yet known.
Meanwhile, the French an
nounced that a total of 1876
Wet Mimi had been killed and
$50 captured in the mopup drive
in the Hung Yen sector, 80 miles
southeast of Hanoi.
The Wet Namese are throwing
81 new battalions into the Indo-
China war alongside the French.
Most OF these new units are as
signed to the Red River delta.
They were trained especially for
guerrilla warfare. The French in
tend to turn over to them the de-
fense of strategic sectors of the
delta.
Prelude to Autumn Drive.
The Wet Mimi, however, ap-
parently are determined to de-
Stroy as many as possible of these
units in what might be their last
chance to strike a heavy blow at
the rapidly expanding Wet
Namese army.
Here in the French union head
quarters city, the Wet Mimi at
tackS were regarded as a prelude
to the opening of the rebels au-
tumn offensive which is expected
to have the delta as its key target.
