Warren Signs Bill Freeing Tidelands Oil and Gas Money
Long Beach moves to unlock tidelands revenue after a court ruling. City Manager Sam Vickers expects about 3.1 million dollars for July 1 and notes the bill frees half of previously impounded tideland oil funds. The city says over 75 million has been impounded and annual receipts could reach 24.06 million, with funds to be used for harbor, commerce, navigation and recreation. Vickers says the action will accelerate public improvements and further gas money transfers.

Truman’s veto urged on tidelands oil rights bill
Interior Secretary Oscar L Chapman said President Truman will veto any bill to return tidelands oil deposits to the states. Rep. Emanuel Celler predicted the veto would not be overridden as the House Judiciary Subcommittee weighs Celler’s five year federal control plan for Texas, Louisiana and California coasts. A competing measure by Chairman Francis B. Walter would restore tidelands by law. Truman vetoed a 1946 tidelands bill.
