Caracas Conference
Scans Sovereignty
For Continental Shelf
BY the Associated Press

CARACAS, Venezuela. Mar.
1.-THE Inter-American Con-
ference called up for discussion
today a proposal to extend each
coastal American nations area
of national sovereignty and
jurisdiction" to the limits of the
continental shelf.
The proposal by Ecuador calls
for a conference during 1855 to
study practical problems" of
the situation.
Various governments favor
such a conference as a step to
conserving mineral resources be-
meath the offShore waters and as
a way of avoiding future inter-
national quarrels, particularly
over commercial fishing.
Differing opinions of the limits
of national sovereignty have led
to disputes between Mexico and
fishermen from Cuba, Texas and
Florida, and between California
fishermen and Ecuador.
Smile Limit Heretofore.
Nations in the 10th century
generally accepted three miles to
seward as the limit of their
national sovereignty - the dis
lance a cannon then could fire.
In recent years. however. with
the growth of commercial fishing
and offshore drilling for oil, the
United States, Argentina. Peru,
Ecuador, Mexico. Venezuela.
Chile and other countries as
serted rights to the continental
shelf, generally accepted as the
subSurface lands to a depth Of
600 feet-the 100-fathom curve.
In some cases. particularly of
southern Argentina, the shelf
extends 800 miles to seward.
Ecuador's proposal would not
affect normal sea traffic in the
shelf area. It aims instead to
give individual nations the basis
for control Of fishing and mining
of petroleum and other resources
in the offshore regions.

Taxpayer Opposes
Mayors Salary
AT DonneIsvilIe

A taxpayers suit has been
brought against the DonnelsviIle,
Ohio Council which would prevent
the council from paying the may
or of Donnelsyille the $500 an
nual salary granted to him this
year.
Donnelsville manufacturer, Ted
Beach Jr., represented by r STAN
ley Lucas and Don Koepp, Spring
field attorneys brought the in
junction and the attorneys have
argued that the DonnelsvilIe
Council acted without state au-
thority when it fixed the mayors
salary at $500 last Oct. 6. The
plaintiffs attorneys said that the
law authorizing such council ac-
ton did not become effective un-
til last Oct. 13.
Donnelsville City Solicitor, Mar
tin Burnham, maintained that the
council acted clearly with the in
tent of the State Legislature. The
case is being heard by Judge
Huber r. Beery, sitting by assign
ment in Clark county Common
Pleas Court. A decision on the
matter is expected at an early
date.
The suit is an outgrowth of con-
troversey in which the mayors
salary was increased to reimburse
him for loss of court costs under
a new state law.
