AUSTIN, Tex.—Return of the
tidelands’ title to the states by the
federal government does not write
finis to the long, dramatic story of
submerged lands,
Texas, for example, owns the
lands under the Gulf of Mexico to
a distance of 10.3 miles (or three
leagues). Beyond that line, the
“continental shelf’’ is the property
of the federal government.
It is expected that now the tide-
lands controversy is settled, both
the state and the federal govern-
ment will start leesing land for oil
development.
What will that do?
Will great production from the
continental shelf cut down the de-
mand for Texas (including tide-
lands) oil?
— tpa —
These are questions that remain
to be answered, and they have con-
siderable significance for Texans,
because the oil industry is the
state’s greatest taxpayer.
If, for example, the tidelands
produce heavily and provide a tre-
mendous revenue to the state, other
tax sources will not have to be tap-
ped heavily.
If, on the other hand, the conti-
nental shelf becomes a major oil
producer, the tax revenue will go to
the federal government, and Texas
taxpayers will suffer accordingly.
Answers to the questions posed
here may be long in coming, but in
the meantime there are bound to be
many columns of newspaper space
devoted to them.
Top issues are involved. For in-
stance, if the tidelands yield suf-
ficient tax revenue, the teachers’
pay can be increased—and therein
lies one of the hottest government-
al issues in Texas today.
— tpa —
It is an issue, by the way, that
will certainly figure outstandingly
in the political campaigns of next
summer.
You may be certain that pros-
pective candidates, who are writing
their platforms now, are putting
the question of teacher pay at the
top of their lists.
There remains, of course, the
possibility that a special session of
the legislature may solve the prob-
lem by providing more money for
teachers.
Even so, teacher pay will remain
a political issue, both in state and
local races.
Legislators seeking re-election
may in some instances have a hard
time if it is shown that they oppos-
ed the $600 per month pay increase
for teachers.
— tpa —
Current demand for Texas oil
was boosted when the Exchange
Crude Oil Purchasing Company of
Dallas offered to buy from the
state 15,000 barrels of oil per day
for a’ price two per cent or five
cents a barrel above the top mar-
ket price.
New Mexico already has accept-
ed a similar proposal, which is
part of an overall project to operate
a pipeline from Midland to Los
Angeles.
The West Coast Pipeline Com-
pany would operate the 960-mile
facility, which would cost a billion
dollars and carry a total of 300,000
barrels of crude per day.
Land Commissioner Bascom Giles
said he would probably ask for
more money for the Texas crude,
and that a decision on the offer
would be made in about two weeks.
— tpa —
The state supreme court upheld
its former decision by ruling
against rehearing two test cases
attacking the natural gas “gather-
ing” tax.
This tax was passed by the 1951
Legislature and immediately chal-
lenged by the gas companies. It
has been in the courts ever since,
and the revenue from the tax has
been piling up, unspent.
If and when the court’s decision
becomes final, it is expected that
Governor Shivers will call a special
session of the Legislature to ap-
propriate the money.
Governor Shivers has signed a
bill that hits at beer taverns and
undertakes to keep liquor gang-
sters out of Texas.
The bill, sponsored by the state
liquor control board and the liquor
and beer associations, gives the
board wider powers to close up beer
and liquor establishments that are
indecent or jeopardize the public-
safety.
Under the new law there are 31
causes for which the Liquor Control
Board may suspend or cancel a
beer retailers permit, as compared
with 15 in the present law.
It attempts to keep gangsters
out of Texas by requiring that

Lions To Sell
Advertising For
Boat Programs
Selling of advertising for the
Fourth of July boat races sponsor-
ed by the Lions Club has started
with Alton Queen, chairman of the
publicity, in charge. Merchants tak.
ing ads last year will be given
first choice in this years' program,
Queen said.
Oris Dyer suggested the club
move their carnival back to the bay
shore instead of having it at the
new turning basin. President Glenn
Dale Claybourn gave the club a
week to think it over before voting
on Dyer’s suggestion.
First Baptist Bids
To Be Opened
Monday, June 29
Bids for the proposed $40,000
Education Building of the First
Baptist Church will be opened at
the church on June 29, according to
Rev. Rayford Harris, pastor.
The building committee began
taking bids on Monday, June 8.
“This should tell us just how’ we
are going to be able to do with oui
program since we will then know
the cost of our building and car
make the proper plans for caring
for the total program,” Rev. Harris
said.
The building which will contain
4500 square feet of floor space,
will house a Fellowship Hall,
kitchen, two large assembly rooms,
11 Sunday School rooms, a small
chapel, church office, pastor’s study,
rest room, and storage and centra'
heating plant.
The church plans to occupy the
new building by January 1, 1954.
P.M.A. Man Estimates
57,000 Acres Planted
To Rice This Season
Approximately 57,000 acres of
rice have been planted in Matagor-
da County this season, it was esti-
mated this week by Carl Lively,
head of the local Production-Mar-
keting Administration office.
“An estimate of 55-57,000, acres
won’t miss the county total very
far,” Mr. Lively stated.
K. D. Horton, Gulf Coast Water
Company official, estimated in
round figures that 36,300 acres in-
cluded in the county estimate above
have been planted on land served
by his company.
As far as is known, all county
rice has been planted.
As a state total, it is believed
that some 567,000 acres have been
planted to lice this season, about a
five per cent increase over last
year.

CARL CRAWFORD ON SET SHOOTING CUBAN
MOVIE WITH FIRST SHOWING IN PALACIOS
By CARL F. CRAWFORD
I believe Mr. Pfeffer raked the
bottom of the barrel getting the
last shipment of Americans for
Cia. Agricola del Caribe S. A. They
complain much, the cigarros are
too strong, the Cuban beer too
weak, and they are afraid to drink
the water here on del Caribe. The
coffee is much too stout for them.
They have the stomach ache
much of the time, the cooking is no
good, too much garlic, and too much
grease, they don’t like rice at all.
Mosquitos are the worst they
have ever seen, they say. However
they all have a hand spray gun,
and plenty of D. D. T. The bath
water is cold, the beds are hard,
and it rains too much. Mr. Pfeffei
only bought them a one way ticket,
figured, I guess, to keep them here
until they sorta get reconciled, no
way to go home.
They say they are Texans; I be-
lieve from Houston, I have had my
doubts all the time. I never just
flat asked them where they were
from until yesterday, when I hap-
pened to get them alone.
I said boys where you from?
They think here on Del Caribe I am
from Texas too but I am from
Dr. Runyon Heads
Sub-Committee On
Courthouse Problem
Kenneth II. Horton of Bay City
has been elected chairman of an
advisory committee to the Mata-
gorda County Commissioners’ Court
to solve the problem of the present
courthouse at Bay City.
This advisory group is made up
of Don Owen, Paris Smith, Mrs.
Blanche O’Connor, Dr. Norman
Runyon, Harold Barber, Lonnie
Glaze and Walter Skutca. Another
Palacios representative is yet to be
named.
A sub-committee was named by
Horton with Dr. Runyon as chair-
man to attempt to determine what
amount of additional space is need-
ed for all the county departments.
The fact was stressed that this
space includes such departments as
the extension services and the
health unit which are not located in
the present courthouse.
The sub-committee was asked to
report within ten days.
Other officers elected were
Smith, vice-chairman and Owen was
named secretary of the advisory
committee.

Maddox Motor Co. To Observe 50th
Anniversary Of Ford On June 17
Maddox Motor Company, one of
the 6,400 Ford dealers in the United
States, will observe Ford’s 50th an-
niversary on Wednesday, June 17.
When Ford Motor Company open-
ed for business in 1903, it had big
plans but not much cash with only
$28,000 working eaptial.
One of the company’s first sup-
pliers, the Dodge brothers, agreed
to take $10,000 worth of stock in-
stead of money as payment for the
engines and chassis of the first
650 Fords, which were made in
their Detroit machine shop and
carted in hay wagons to Henry
Ford’s assembly plant on Mack
Avenue.
Today, if all the Fords, Lincolns
and Mercurys produced by Ford
Motor Company were placed bum-
per to bumper, they would stretch
110,953 miles, almost half-way to
the moon or more than four times
around the earth at the equator.
Ford spreads its purchasing all
over the United States because it
prefers to deal with- suppliers who
are located near its various manu-
facturing and assembly plants.
The bhtteries for Mercury as-
sembled in Metuchen, New Jersey,
are made by the Electric Storage
Battery Company in Philadelphia.
The Ford assembly plant in Rich-
mond, California, buys its batteries
from Autolite in Oakland, while
the Dallas assembly plant’s bat-
teries are supplied by Texas plants
of Electric Storage Battery’s Wil-
lard Division and Globe Union.

Oklahoma. You can’t kid me. They
said promise you won’t tell, I did,
and here is their answer, “Louisi-
ana”.
Things were easy after I knew
where they were from, the answer
to their problem was grits, Cubans
don’t eat Grits.
I went to Consolacion hunted all
over town found one box of grits,
cooked them up. This morning for
breakfast, you should see the change
in these men now, no more com-
plaining.
When this box of Grits is gone
we will have the complaining all
over again, unless we find more
Grits, and Grits are scarce in Cuba.
By NEY OLDHAM, JR.
Didn’t “I told you so”? The wa-
ter cleared enough for the fish to
see to eat, and everybody caught
a string! The surprising thing, of
course, is the amount of red-fish
caught in the bays this time of year
but maybe not so surprising when
you remember that the big rains
a couple of weeks ago “flushed”
them all down out >.f the rivers mu’
now they are on the way back up.
We get two shots at them this
year.
Lawrence and Paul Abraham and
David Peterson caught 5 reds of 2
to 5 lbs. each in Redfish Lake on
Sunday.
Fred Garcia picked up 27 trout
in Turtle Bay, Saturday.
Allen Kilgore, now of Harlingen,
scored with 10 trout off East Ray
Pier on Saturday. Allen tells me an
interesting story of catching a
string of 11 trout in the Arroyo
Colorado River rear Harlingen, and
six of them were tagged by the
Fish and Game Commission at
Rockport!
Leroy Erikson & party (Brown-
ie’s Charter Boats) caught 39 trout
at Shell Beach Saturday morn-
ing.
Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sailor caught
5 nice reds at the mouth of the
Tres-Palacios River on Monday.
Here’s the best string of the
week: Vernon Wright’s 14 reds,
none under 3 lbs. and none over 7!
He took them in Carancahua Bay.
Sherman Greene and daughter,
Pamela, took 7 trout near Redfish
Lake on Sunday, one of which went
2Vi lbs., and caught by Pamela,
naturally, not old “Sheri/i”!
John Harper caught 18 trout at
Schickes Saturday—all good size.
Stan Cliff, El Campoian, caught
35 trout at Coon Island Sunday.
Mrs. T. C. Edwards caught 8 reds
up to 4 lbs. and 5 drum in Turtle
Bay on Monday.
Joe Hurta picked up a Jl^-pound
redfish and a 2-lb. croaker (which
is some croaker, brother!) in Ca-
rancahua Bay on Sunday.
Ernest and Robt. Koch caught
two 3-lb. reds in Turtle Bay Mon-
day.
Dr. Zidd of Austin and Lawrence
Arnold, “piscatorialist extraordi-
naire,” caught 23 trout and 2 reds
in Turtle Bay on Sunday and then
Lawrence caught 5 more on Tues-
day, including a 10-pounder.
G. G. Hope and Glen Pore caught
54 assorted fish Sunday in East
Bay including 11 red fish of 3 to 5
lbs. each and a 4-lb. and 5-lb. on
Monday.
Tom Friery picked up two 4-lb.
reds in East Bay last Wednesday.
Rev. W. P. Carmichael caught one
red of about 3 lbs. in East Buy op
Wednesday.
Jimmy Cox and Ira Lambright
caught 34 trout at the Holy Land,
Wednesday.
Mr. and Mrs. B. E. Sailor caught
a string of 15 trout on the Spoil
Bank last Wednesday that aver-
aged 2%-lbs. each.
J. G. “Srnitty” Smith caught 5
trout for 9% lbs. on Thursaay and
35 more on Friday at Salt Lake.
John Harper and Willie Lewis
caught 28 trout at Redfish Lake on
Sunday and then John and Mr. Bill
(Dad) Clark caught 8 at the Shell-
pile on Monday.
Lawrence Arnold caught 12 reds
Thursday for 30 lbs. dressed and
two on Friday.
J. H. Pybus and wife and Mr.
and Mrs. L. C. Rutlege of Seguin,
Texas, caught 46 trout back of
Coon Island on Tuesday.
Mrs. F. C. Wynn caught 4 reds
of about 3 lb:* each in front of her
home on Easiji Bay on Friday.
(See “FlIlIING”, Page 4)
It is nice to have the answer to
their trouble, Grits no complain-
ing, no grits mucha complain.
They tell me here that many of
the people who claim to be Texans
are not. They say many times some
one starts from Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas, or Louisiana for California
runs out of gas, car breaks down, or
runs out of money crossing Texas,
the only way out then is become a
TEXAN.
They have held me up for a while
longer here, I thought I would be
back to Palacios June first, now I
think July first. What I am trying
to do now is take 1,000 feet of
movie film. The talent will be all
Cubans unless by accident an
American gets in the way. May
hold the percentage to 98, first
showing Palacios. This will be my
first, full length movie production,
but should be very good.
The Ox Cart, charcoal making,
or the senorita will not be left out.
The only thing Cubans and Ameri-
cans do the same way is climb trees
both start at the bottom, we could
add dig a well.
Just one more word Mr. Craw-
ford just had a one way ticket to
Del Caribe S. A., too.
Telephone Co. Asks
For Permit To Place
Submarine Cable
The General Telephone Company
of the Southwest has applied to the
District Engineer for a Depart-
ment of the Army permit to place
an armored submarine cable across
Tres Palacios Bay to Collegeport.
Thus, with the application of this
permit, the telephone company
opens the way for residents of Col-
legeport to receive long awaited
telephone service.
The cable, to be placed approxi-
mately lMs miles northeast of Pala-
cios, will be constructed three feet
below the bottom of the bay from
a point on shore nearly one mile
north from town and eastward
4,000 feet to the shore at College-
port.
Any protest against the proposed
operations from the standpoint of
navigation should be received by
the District Engineer in Galveston
not later than June 15, 1953.
Bay Shores To Be
Cleaned Up By City
Palacios bay shores are being
cleaned up and may be the beauty
spot, of town within the next year
or two.
Some two months ago a commit-
tee from the Chamber of Commerce
asked the City Council to do some-
thing about our south bay shore.
The city turned the job over to
City Police Officer Buster White
who has put convict labor to work
on the project. Dirt is being moved
in and when leveled off grass will
be planted and mowed.
White said Thursday that he
suggested to several Mexican lead-
ers that the west side of town be
cleaned up and that they are gojng
about it in a big way.
Officer White asks that persons
owning vacant lots in town, espe-
cially on Main street, that they cut
the grass and help add to the
beauty of town.
Several complaints have been re-
ceived by the city as to garbage
collectioh. Residents are asked to
pack garbage in cans instead of
card-boai'd boxes which come apart
when wet.
50lh Anniversary

Boy Injured By
Stray Bullet From
Careless Hunter
A stray bullet struck the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Abel Pierce Jr. Wed-
nesday afternoon as the boy sat on
the back porch of his home on
Highway 35.
The bullPt from a 22-caliber rifle
did not seriously injure John Roy
who had his head down at. the time
watching a dog.
The bullet was believed to have
glanced off of some object before
striking the boy in the head. He
was taken to Bay View General
Hospital where stiches were requir-
ed to close the wound. The bullet
lodged in John Roy’s skull, ac-
cording to Dr. L. A. Wilcox.
It was believed the shot came
from the flat behind the house by
some careless hunter. No trace of
the rifle was found.
Dick Flores Injured
In Truck Accident
Near Camp Hulen
Dick Flores, local fish house
operator, was seriously injured
Wednesday afternoon when the
pick-up in which he was driving
went out of control and crashed in-
to a telephone pole near Camp
Hulen.
Flores who lives at 804 Com-
merce, was on his way to town from
a point near Camp Hulen where of-
ficers believe he blaeked-out, ac-
cording to City Police Officer
Buster White. \
He must have felt the spell com-
ing on and tried to stop his truck
turning it around and crashed into
the pole before turning over in a
ditch, White said. The accident
happened at 3 p.m. near the main
gate, White stated.
Flores was taken to Bay View
General Hospital where he suffer-
ed a skull fracture, chest and lower
body injuries.
