Supreme Court affirms federal claim to tidelands oil fields
The Supreme Court upheld the Federal Government's claim to submerged Gulf lands off Texas and Louisiana estimated to hold 5 to 10 billion barrels of oil. The decision rejects state ownership and backs the 1947 California tidelands ruling on national interests in coastal areas.

Daniel to Seek Rehearing and Court Appeal on Tidelands
Texas Attorney General Price Daniel says he will file a second motion for rehearing in the tideland case and appeal to Congress, arguing Congress controls offshore ownership. He notes the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Texas’s evidence and warns oil leases may halt within 15 days pending federal action. He also calls for an accounting of tidelands revenues and outlines steps for federal permitting and leasing rules.

Parcel Post Rate Hike Sought By Postmaster General
Washington reports Postmaster General Donaldson seeks parcel post rate increases totaling about 105 million dollars annually. He filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission under a 1925 law, proposing higher first pound charges and per pound add ons with a new surcharge for large heavy packages. The plan would preserve rates for books for the blind and loan library books, and follows the last prior increases in 1949 after a 1930 approval.
