Tidelands Question Draws Strong Pro And Con Feeling By HARRISON B. HUMPHRIES WASHINGTON (#—State owner- ship of offshore submerged lands is defended by advecates as “‘equi- ty and justice” and denounced by opponents as a “giveaway” of an area extremely rich in oil. Advocates say the states should have the underwater coastal lands because they heid them and devel- oped them in good faith for a cen- tury. Opponents say the Supreme Court has upheld the federal claim of “paramount rights” three times and to go against that ruling is contrary to the. national interest.

Want to flute a cucumber or a Monday, May 4, 1953 By G. MILTON KELLY WASHINGTON (—Investigating senators aimed a new Pocketbook blow ‘today at trade between the free nations of the West and Com- munist China. Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and his Senate investigations subcommit- tee, avowedly seeking by indirec- tion to crimp the flow of Western goods to Red China, scheduled the Start of public hearings today on the issue. However, one member of the committee voiced qualms that the public session might upset White House and State Department policy making, “Frankly,” Sen. Jackson (D- Wash) said in advance of the hear- ing, “I am worried about the wis- dom of a public airing unless we have assurance from the White House or the State Department that we are not interfering with broader plans to do the same job, and to do it better, perhaps.” Jackson said he would take up that question with McCarthy. Kenneth Hanson, a deputy to mu- tual Security Director Harold E. Stassen, was scheduled as an early -| witness. Representatives of other with citrus them a good color. government agencies were expect- ed to be called for testimony about ships used in hauling Mutual se- curity Administration (MSA) car- go. ies McCarthy said his inquiry is de- signed to produce new orders de- nying U.
