exploitation OF the shelf beyond
that line to the Federal Govern
ment
Mr.. Truman had stated explicitly
that his claim to the natural re-
sources interfered in no way with
the traditional 3-mile limit, that
it did not change the character
of the waters above the shelf as
part of the high seas.
Guatemala and the Philippines
followed the American example.
So did Brazil, Honduras. Nicaragua
and the countries of the British
Commonwealth and all the Arab
shiekdomS around the Persian Gulf
Some of these countries specified a
claim only to the natural resources,
as the United States had done, some
claimed the whole subsoil.
Fishing Rights Hit
But others, like Argentina, Cuba,
Mexico, Panama and South Korea,
claimed the sea above the shelf as
well, thus interfering with fishing
rights of other nationals. And still
others, like Peru, Ell Salvador, Chile
and Ecuador, simply extended their
boundaries to exOrbitant and arbi-
trary distances up to 200 miles
from the coast. This caused a
spate of diplomatic protests and
several unpleasant incidents.
In November, 1854, five whaling
vessels belonging to the Greek
Argentine shipping magnate. Arls-
totles OnassiS. sailing under Pam
anna flag. we're bombed and ma
chinegunned by Peruvian planes
and patrol boats when ITS to 365
miles of the coast. The ships were
held until a fine of So million was
paid, making the catch quite an
expensive kettle of fish.
On March 81, 1855, the Arctic
Maid" and the Santa Ana" both
sailing under American flag, were
fired upon by an Ecuadorian patrol
vessel. One American seaman was
seriously wounded. The ships were
held until fine of $4,000 was
paid.
Protests Filed
In both cases, there were strong
diplomatic protests. But since there
is as yet no machinery Tor inter-
national arbitration, the matter
rests there. The situation is remin-
iscent of the Middle Ages when rob-
Der barons claimed sovereignty over
certain lands and defended them
by force. The countries which have
thus taken huge slices of the high
seas, do this simply by decree-a
unllateral declaration which is not
binding on other nations, but which
they cannot effectively protest, ex-
cept by force.
In July 1858, the international
Law Commission promulgated draft
articles on the continental shelf,
establishing sovereign rights IN
coastal nations beyond their terri
torlal waters. These rights are lin
tied to the resources of the shelf
and the installations necessary TO
their exploitation. The installations
were not TO possess the status OF
islands and had to be constructed
SO as not TO infringe upon the
rights Of all nations 10 the high
seas.
These draft articles will be con-
sidered by the 18th General AS
sembly next fall. Should they be
accepted, a source of possible fric-
ton will be removed from the in
ternational scene. Meanwhile, such
potentially dangerous occurrences
as the periodic capture" Of Nor
wegian and Russian fishing vessels
can be expected to continue.

"A Greet Day
For the Irish

Hundreds and hundreds Of
years ago a 16-year-old boy
named Patrick. who lived in
Roman Britain, was captured
by Irish marauders and taken
to Ireland as a slave. After he
dutifully served his master he
returned to Britain to become
q priest.
Patrick was ordained a priest
and was then commissioned
by the Church to convert Ire
land from Druidisrn to Chris
tianity. So Patrick returned to
Ireland. He was the eligible
one for the choice since he had
been there previously as a
teen.
Needless to say, Patrick con-
verted Ireland to Christianity,
introduced Latin to the Emer-
aid Isle and introduced Euro
pean cultures. He died March
II, 493, says the Book of Days,
at the age of 106!
Now to bring you UP to date:
Tomorrow is st. Patrick's Day!
So deck yourself out in green
cry! It's a great day for the
Irish!

The Platters. whose 1.-THE
Great Pretender" is Number
One on the and b hit parade
and is Number Two on the pop
hit parade-both Nationwide,
that is, started in Los Angeles,
Calf. only two years ago.
Herbert was the one who
put the group together and
decided on their name since
"platters" is the disc jockey
term for records. The Platters
began first appearing on anna
teur talent shows on the West
Coast, then Mercury records
heard them and the group sky
rocketed into the singing spot
light.
AS I heard them rehearse,
Herbert told me about the
serious catastrophe" that be-
fell the quintet on the way to
the Nations Capital.
It seems the Platters were
rolling out of Philadelphia in
their station wagon, which was
loaded down with luggage,
when they heard something
fall out of the back of the car.
They pulled over to the side of
the road and looked back on
the highway. They saw their
trunk, which contained all
their costumes for the tour,
being clobbered by cars and
trucks streaming down the
highway!
Here Herbert howled with
laughter and said, "We sure do
have a ball together! OF
course all the costumes were
ruined, so we are just i'm
provising now.
The Platters also made
"Only You" which sold over
one million copies. This was
their first hit. Since then they
have appeared on TV count
less times" and they are now
in the strictly-for -teenagers-
movie, Rock Around the

All three brothers have atti-
tudes about business that con-
tain an abundance of common
sense. They believe in the pro-
gress Of their respective home
towns through active participa-
ton in civic projects.
Arthur is charter member
of the Tabor City Civilian Club
and a past secretary-treasurer
of that organization. He took
an active part several years ago
in the American Legion baseball
program and maintains enthu-
siasm for an local athletic

has been one of the leaders each

is also chairman of the loca'

Harry is a member of several
civic groups in Clarkton anG
has played n leading role in the
progress of that community.
The three men were raised
on a farm at Clarendon ant
Oliver and Arthur. have never
lost contact with their early
farm life. Both men own tobac-
co farms and are we'll versed
on the problems faced by local
farmers.
Money was scarce when the
three were youngsters and this
is probably one of the leading
factors in the success of Their
business. Each has worked hard
to get ahead and their early
training of working hard has
never been cast aside.
Of the three Oliver probably
has the greatest nack for
recognizing a profitable business
investment. He and his wife
Myrtle, are currently turning
hobby into a business. They
opened Princes Nursey about q
year ago and it has met with
excellent response Although il

In December, 1916, Prince

what impressed him most was
the friendly people he met. With
