StateUphe|d
InU. ). Suit

Flood control and other prof.
ects involving control of nom
navigable waters in the States
may cost the Federal Govern
ment many millions of dollars
more as the result of a Court of
Claims decision yesterday.
The court, dividing 3 to 2,
ruled that the State is the own
err of such waters and as such
must be compensated for the
loss of any property rights
which might ensue as the re-
suit of the Federal action.
A dissent by Judge Samuel E.
Whitaker with the concurrence
of Chief Judge Marvin Jones
declared that the State does
not "own" the waters but mere
ly had the right to regulate
them.
Ownership by the State is a
concept repugnant to the
American theory of government
natural resources belong
not to the State but to the
people :"
The case involved Federal
construction of a dam, for flood
control and power purposes. at
Fort Gibson, Okla, which is on
the Grand River.
But Okla homa also had
planned a dam in the same
vicinity which was to hook up
with two other similar projects
and to be used for conservation
purposes. The Grand River
Dam Authority, a State agency,
sued the Federal Government.
1t asked compensation for the
taking of its water power rights
among other losses.
The court majority, in an
opinion written by Judge j..
Warren Madden. declared the
State held property rights to
the water and must be COM
pensated. The amount of COM
pensation will be determined at
further proceedings. Joining
with Judge Madden we're Judges
Don N. Laramore and Benjamin
Littleton.

Dental Group
Hits Forand
Health Bill

The American Dental AS
ISOLATION yesterday Joined the
American Medical Association
in a stand against the Forand
bill for compulsory health in
surance for the aged.
DR.. Matthew Besdine of New
York, representing the aSsocia-
ton, told the House Ways and
Means Committee that lat the
present time there is no as
surance that the introduction
OF q drastic and irreversible
system of federally sponsored
health care" will do the job for
the aged.
He testified at hearings on a
bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Forand, Democrat of Rhode
Island, which would extend
compulsory Federal health in
surance to all persons eligible
for social security benefits. The
hearings are scheduled through
tomorrow.
Would Explore Ideas
DR.. Besdine declared there
are many avenues of eXplora-
ton to be followed before the
Government is justified in "em-
barking upon a venture so
costly and so uncertain"
The American Hospital As
ISOLATION also opposed the pro-
posed legislation and empha-
sized that all efforts should be
made to meet the hospital
needs of the aged through ex-
listing systems of voluntary pre-
payment health insurance
plans.
The AHA statement noted
that, 1T is conceivable, how
ever, that the use of Social Sc
curity to provide the mechan-
ism to assist in the solution of
problems of financing these
needs may be necessary ulti-
mately."
The measure was approved
by the American Public Welfare
Association. Wilbur j. Cohen,
representing the groups well
fare policy committee, declared
that
I'VE hope that this commit
tee, which drafted the original
contributory old age insurance
program in 1885, added sur
vivors insurance benefits in
1899, and disability insurance
benefits in 1886, will add
further to the demonstrated vi
sion and craftsmanship shown
by taking action which so log
ically builds upon the sound
principles incorporated in the
three earlier actions"
ANA Hits Plan
A long list Of witnesses pro
and con the controversial
measure have testified so far
this week.
Yesterday the American
Medical Association staunchly
opposed the bill saying that a
blueprint calling for mass
treatment" will inevitably lead
to inferior medicine"
Representatives of the ANA
said they fear that passage of
the bill would lead to federally
sponsored medicine for all of
the population.
Earlier this week Secretary
of Health, Education and We'll
fare Arthur S. Flemming stat
ed the administrations opposi-
ton to the bill. He declared
that his staff is studying the
possibility of other methods of
bringing health insurance
benefits to the aged which
would not involve compulsory
Federal health insurance.

Minis Loses Bout
Police Called to
Silence Trottus

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. "a
(AP). - Rudell Stitch, No. 8
welterweight contender from
Louisville, KY, won a 10-round
split decision last night over
Holly Minis, No. 8 middleweight
from Washington, D. c.
1t was a popular decision
with the fans, but not with
Nick and Benny Trotta, the
brothers who manage Minis.
They argued so long and
strongly with the officials and
Bud Bruner, Stitch'S manager,
that police had to hop into the
ring and halt the disturbance.
Stitch won on a late rally.
AS the ninth round opened,
Stitch was bleeding from a
f1fth-round eye cut and was
trailing his heavier opponent.
Stitch then began battering
Minis around the head and
body to gain the decision.
Referee Battling Ferdie and
Judge Ernie Cojoie each tabled
the fight Ga for Stitch while
Judge Freddie Adams saw it
SAL for Minis.
Minis loafed occasionally but
seemed to have the best of it
when he wanted to swap
punches.
The paid attendance of 1925
contributed a gross gate of
$4,428 and a net of $3,518.53.

EX-PRO BECOMES TEACHER
Kansas State Starts Hunt
For Successor to Mertes

MANHATTAN. Kans., Nov.
"a (AP).-Bus Mertes, Kansas
State football coach, is retiring
and will become a professor.
Zone thing is sure, though, /"
Mertes said, "I want to get
back in the game that has
been my life for Is years."
The 39-year-old Mertes, head
coach for five years after two
years as an assistant at Kan
saS State, resigned yesterday
in the wake of a 2-8 season.
His record for five seasons is
15-34-1.
Athletic Director Bebe Lee
said no applications had been
received, but a search for a
new coach would start immed-
lately.
Lee said he was confident
Mertes would get another job
as a coach, adding, "All of us
here wish him the best of luck. "
For the time being, however,
MerteS will stay at K-State as
a physical education professor.
Mertes said K-State's sur
prising 29-14 victory over
Nebraska Saturday makes up
for all the losses of this disap-
pointing 1859 season. I
regret leaving the job, but for
the sake of everyone concerned,
I think it best that I resign"
After serving as head coach
at Bradley, Mertes Joined the
K-State staff in 1853 as as
sistant to Bill Meek. He sue
ceeded Meek as head coach
in 1855.
Dissention struck the Wild
cat squad at the end of the
1858 season and Mertes was
hanged in efigy, but he was
retained under a one-year con-
tract.
Mertes played football at the
