a law controlling the spacing of
wells to prevent free-for-all scram-

DR.. Joseph T. Singewald, Jr., told
the Board of Natural Resources
that the drilling of 90 gas wells in

two years represented a shameful
record of wasteful exploitation and

House of Delegates during the 1851

Singewald declared approx

from wells in the area. He said
$187 800 of the money would go to
landowners, $105,O 600 to Garrett
county and the rest, or 81 ,249, 900
to producers. At an average of $780,

Southern High Trims Bigger Share In
Tunnelton 80 to 43 Road Fund Sought

A plan to quadruple the counties
share in the proposed 12-year
project to improve and modernize
Maryland highways was advocated
by the State Association of County
Commissioners.
AT a meeting at Annapolis %
members from eight counties voted
to take up the matter with the
House Ways and Means committee
which is studying the bill.
Commissioners said they would
like to have $500 a year for each
mile of country road and incor-
porated street in lieu of their pro-
portionate one cent gasoline tax
increase. Counties would receive
around 80 million dollars for the
l2-year period, an increase Of 60
million over the amount they would
expect to receive under the present
setup. Due to receive 20 percent
OF the money collected on any gas
tax increase, the counties would
realize only 20 million during the
~ years.
1t was pointed out that many
country roads were more important
than the states secondary roads.
Statistics showed the counties and
incorporated towns have 1882
miles of roads, while the state road
system totals Abs miles OF road.
A modified design of the states
secondary roads would be more
readily received by the average tax
payer, the report said. Approx
mately 200 millions of the proposed
568- million dollar project would be
used to reconstruct 2,20S miles of
the state secondary system. The
average county road is much more
obsolete, with thousands of miles
of county roads yet to have. an
initial Improvement. The plan
would re-allccate 60 million dollars
to the counties from the 200 mill
lion set aside for the states second
airy system. 1t was also contended
that people used more gas on mud
roads and would be paying most
of the tax and getting the least.

Douglas Tells Senate
TideIands Bill PeriIs
0therU. 5. Resources
By Robert K. Welsh


Senator Douglas, Democrat. of
Illinois, warned Congress today
that coastal state ownership Of
offshore submerged lands would
strengthen a move to give ma
tional forests, mineral resources.
parks and grazing areas to
States and private interests.
He took the floor with a TO-
000-word prepared speech as the
Senate rounded out a full week
of debate on a bill to establish
State title to seaward areas
within their traditional bound
rieS.
Attacks G. o. p. Reticence.
Noting that Republicans favor
the measure but that only one
G. o. P. member, Senator Gordon,
of Oregon, has yet spoken in the
Senate debate, while Democratic
senators are sharply divided,
Senator Douglas explained:
"I was much struck with the
fact that the Senator form Ore
gon, chairman of the Subcom-
mittee which brought out the
bill almost never mentioned the
words oil and gas in his speech.
He seemed to be as SQueamish
about mentioning these realities
as VictorianS were in ever men
tioning the lower limbs of women.
But the oil and gas are there just
the same and they are what this
struggle is all about. Stated
briefly, the issue is whether these
immensely valuable rights shall
continue to belong to the 159
million Americans in all Of the
48 States or whether they shall
be turned over to the citizens of
only three or four States.
Sees Blow to Welfare.
Besides Offering Constitutional,
economic, historic and other ar
guments in favor of Federal in
stead of State control of the
submerged land, the Illinois Sen
ator contended that even if
Congress had authority to 'give
away these $50 to $500 billion
of oil resources" such a move
would be against public policy
and national welfare.
This BILL" he continued, will
pave the way not only for the
alienation of the natural re-
sources of the submerged land
on the continental shelf beyond
the boundaries claimed by the
States. The bill is in fact mere
ly the starting gong of a new
gold rush, the rush to strip the
nation of priceless assets and
to turn them over to States and
to greedy private interests"
Gen. EiSenhower's stand on the
So-called tidelands issue in the
1852 presidential campaign was
brought into the Senate fight by
Senator Murray, Democrat, of
Montana. He was first of the
speakers in behalf of Federal
ownership and control of the off,
shore coastal stretches.
