High Court Rules Out Tide Suit Novel Submerged Lands Decision
The Supreme Court rejected Alabama and Rhode Island's bid to file a direct challenge to the 1953 Submerged Lands Act, ruling six to two that Congress may dispose of public lands without limitation. Justices Black and Douglas filed separate dissents, while Warren disqualified himself due to interests in the matter. Separately, tornadoes hit West Georgia and Macon, causing deaths and extensive damage, including the loss of eight C-119 aircraft at Lawson Field and damage across Fort Benning.
