Court ruling robs Texas of 150 million in oil land
Austin officials reacted with protest over the U S Supreme Court decision siding with the federal government on submerged lands off California. Texas Land Commissioner Bascom Giles threatened secession while Attorney General Price Daniel vowed a last ditch legal fight. Governor Beauford H Jester called the ruling a cloud over Texas claims. The dispute could affect as much as 150 million in oil and gas lease income for Texas public schools. Daniel urged continued leasing pending federal action.
