Tidelands Fight Must Continue and Delegates Agree
City county and state officials voted overwhelmingly here Thursday against quitting or compromising the state's fight for its tidelands. The vote followed a resolution at a special Texas Property Defense Association meeting after a compromise suggestion was shouted down. Durwood Manford of Smiley was elected president. Governors and the attorney general urged that the fight continue as a matter of principle, not unity, with a call to pressure Congress and the president to end discrimination and avoid further lawsuits until a national tidelands policy is set.
