Shell Plans To Pick U p Options
Here Operation NEED Told

Operation NEED workers at
tending a dinner at Wayside
Inn, Smyrna, last night, we're
the first to know that Shell
Oil Company planned to pick
up its option In Blackbird Hun
dred at once.
Joseph G. Wilson, manager
of Shells manufacturing engin-
eering department, who had
been invited to the affair, said
that an official announcement
to that effect would be made
from New York Sometime
Thursday"
Chairman John E. Wilson,
Jr., who organized Operation
NEED (New Employment for
Economic Development), to help
get Shell located In Blackbird
Hundred and to promote eco
nomic development In the area
said everyone was thrilled by
the announcement.
The action comes just one
week after Vice Chancellor l.
saac D. Short, II, dismissed
a complaint In Chancery Court
that erection of a refinery would
create a Nuisance" for neigh
boring landowners in the Tay-
lor's Bridge area by air and
water pollution and lowering
of the neighboring water supply.
Complainants In the Chancery
Court action we're MIR. and Mrs.
John McQuail, the last of ten
people who had opposed the
Shell Refinery. Eight others
withdrew in January after Judge
Short ruled that New Castle
County Levy Court had acted
properly in rezoning land for the
refinery. This was appealed
to the State Supreme Court
and the action of the Levy Court
was upheld by the body.
In his opinion, Judge Short
said cit is to be noted that
the allegations of the second
count of the complaint charge
anticipated damage to plain
tiffs from the operation of the
proposed refinery. Atthis time,
there is no refinery In exis-
tence. The complaint is, there
fore, an expression of fear
of consequences of the operation
of the proposed refinery when
constructed.
mo more than a curSory
examination of the allegations
of the present complainants is
required to demonstrate that
they do not meet the test.
"Since In this case the re-
ftnery is not yet even In the
process of construction, and
the manner of its operation when
constructed cannot be forseen,
the allegations of the present
complainant are even more
clearly expressions of ''fear of
the future" than was the Sit
uation In the Pruitt case Ia
case Short used as reference
Short said he found no merit
in claims that the plaintiffs were
right in bringing the complaint
before the refinery was built
In order to avoid defense of
"laches" Failure to complain
promptly or ''mclean hands,.
plaintiffs are not presently
subjected to any nuisance or
deprivation of water" Vice
Chancellor Short continued, "If
and when they might be, In the
future so subjected, anyprompt
action taken by them could hard
ly be met by an assertion of
laches.
''Nor is the fear of being
charged with unclean hands a
realism. Disposition of their
claim on the present motion
would certainly render such a
defense Inappropriate"
