TMeljinds Oil Fight Dates Back 15 Years •. .-}• A '/• !/ Issue Particularly Hot In Three States WASHINGTON UP —The legislative fight between the states and the federal government over off-’ shore oli-p-a fight which flared hotly in th|s year’s presidential cam-paign-dates back 15 years. The; candidates have taken precisely opposite stands in the battle. The issue is particularly hot in California, Louisiana, and Texas off-whose shores an estimated 15,000,000,000 barrels <|f oil lie under the oceah bed. \ The question is whether the states or the federal government should collect the millions of dollars paid by oil companies for the privilege of dvllling offshore wells. The federal government is now in a\ special non-usable fund abopt from California leases and more than $13,000.000 paid by c6mpanles drilling in thte Gulf of Mexico. AdJai E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential candidate; has said he will abide by supreme Court: rulings in 1947 and 1950 awarding the federal government “paramount rights” to this rich coastal belt. He says he agreed with President Truman’s veto of leigislatibn to vest control in the States. Republican candidate Dwight D. Eisenhoijvqr, on tile other hand, has said he | will sign such quitclaim legislation if he becomes President. Hb accused ‘‘Washington powermongers” qf a “grab”— a "federal upon the rights and affairs of the statues.’,’ Tim history of the “tidelands” dispute Actually goes back to 1906, when oil was first discovered in the undersea region off “Tidelands,” although commonly used, is a misnomer, since federal claiiqs involve only land seaward of thp low-water mark. Oil drilling had been going on unde* California state leases for about I£> years the justice department in 1945 filed a federal claim id the supreme court to the so-called “marginal sea.V This is the area between the low-water mark and the limit. in 1937 legislation asserting federal control of the offshore oil belt almost slipped through congress undebated. Later efforts to pass such a bill were blocked in committees. ALei 1 winning the California case June 23. 1947, the Justice Department filed a similar suit against Tqxas and Louisiana. The area claimed' by Louisiana extended 27 miles ipto the Gulf. Texas asserted ownership to an area running which varies from 70 to 140 miles off shire. The lederdl government won a second favorable decision June 5, 1950 -thus preventing the three states from leasing any more underwater land. Waiting the court’s opinion in the Louisiana case, Justice William O. Douglas saic|; | "As we pointed o(it in U. 3. vs Calillorifiia. the issue in this class of litigation does not turn on title; qr Ownership in the conventional sense. California,, like the 13 original colonies, never acquired ownership in the marginal sea. The claim to Our three-mile bqlt was first asserted by the .national, government. \ “Protection and control of the area are Indeed functions of national external sovereignty. The marginal sea is a national, not a concern t . . . the problems of commerce, national defense, relations with other powers, war agd peace focus there. National righ|s| must therefore be paramount in that, area.’* As -to Douglas found that the submerged lands were indeed part of .the state’s domain when it >yas independent. But he said that when Texas entered the Union she lof;t the area to the federal government. . Meanwhile, President Truman in 1910 vet bed legislation to* vest title to the disputed areas in the states! This year he vetoed a similar hill; Because of the opposition v of statps’ rights proponents in Con 7 po bill sptriug up machinery for federal administration of oil drilling has ever bgen passed, detfpitte the supreme court’s judgments. Secretary qf interior Oscar L. (phapman has been acting for the federal ‘"government under his implied pdwers as guardian of the nation’s natural resources. > Although the California decision was Issued more than five years ago. the supreme court still isn’t done with the case. The high bench directed William H. Davis, New York attorney, to recommend a federal-state boundary line along the irregular coasL Davis’ report Is expected soon. , ■ California is continuing to administer the area off itq shores under an agreement approved by the coqrt pending th© boundary ruling. if Djavis should recommend offslroie jchanncls like that off Santa Barbara qe declared “inland waters” —and the court should uphold this finding—California would still retain control of all present qlldrilhug activities.
