Robert Lee Bobbitt of San An-
tonio, back from Washington con-
ferences, predicted today that the
present session of Congress will
not only settle the question of
ownership of submerged lands
but settle the question in favor
of state ownership.
Bobbitt, chairman of the tide-
lands committee of the State Bar
of Texas, accompanied Attorney
General Price Daniel and US
Senator Tom Conally to the White
House, where they conferred with
President Truman on the tide-
lands question. State ownership
to such lands has been clouded
since a US Supreme Court decision
in a California case.
"The President welcomed in-
formation concerning the sub-
merged lands controversy,” Bob-
bit said. "He indicated a great
deal of interest in Texas’ special
claim arising out of our annexa-
tion agreement.”
He praised the work being done
by Minority Leader Sam Rayburn,
Senator Connally and others of
the Texas delegation in Congress.
Chaplain, Betty
Leader, Slyvia
bers of the Senate, including
Democrats and Republicans.
Bobbitt said that the State Bar,
a sophomore
Senate last week, a measure pre-
pared by a special committee of
the National Association of States
Attorneys General. Attorney Gen-
eral Daniel is a member of the
committee and participated in the
drafting of the bill.
"Senate Bill 1988,” Bobbitt said,
“will settle for all time the con-
troversy over submerged lands by
recognizing the rightful title of
the states and at the same time
reserving to the Federal Govern-
ment the use of such lands for
the purposes of commerce, navi-
gation, national defense and in-
ternational affairs.”
Under the bill, the United
States will have power, when
necessary for national defense, to
exercise the preference right to
purchase natural resources or use
such lands by "proceeding in ac-
cordance with the due process of
JOHN A. LOMAX
John A. Lomax, 80, first and
foremost of the American ballad
hunters, headed Monday for the
last roundup that his cowboys sang
about. He died at 7 p.m. in a
Greenville (Miss.) hospital.
The portly, crusty old man of
10,000 songs, who lived at 7456
San Benito Way, left to America
a fortune in folk music, songs
about Big Leg Rosie and Ida Red,
of lonesome roads that never end,
of John Henry the steel-drivin’
man, of Jesus the stone that rolled
through Babylon and of dogies
that wouldn’t lie down.
He made the songs into seven
world-renowned books. He and his
son, Alan, virtually built the folk
song archives of the Library of
Congress. They also furnished the
raw material for a huge section of
the radio and phonograph’s multi-
million dollar music industry.
Lomax fell ill of a heart attack
Friday in Greenville, where he had
gone to make a personal appear-
ance with his son.
....and, of course, every
woman wants solid sil-

culture, refinement and
good taste than a table

B-5, psl survey, wildcat in Cen-
tral-East Winkler County, and
about four miles southeast of
Kermit, is being watched with
much interest as it drills ahead
past 9,546 feet in the Devonian
lime.
This venture developed signs of
oil and gas in a drillstem test at
9,453-9,539 feet in the Devonian.
A 1,500-foot water blanket was
used. The tool was open for 70
minutes and there was a very
slight blow of air for 45 minutes.
The recover^ was the 1,500-foot
water blanket, 90 feet of gas cut
mud, 60 feet of oil and gas-cut
drilling mud.
Should the shows so far logged
increase, and a new Devonian
producing area be opened by this
prospector, considerable new de-
velopment would be called for in
the adjacent regions.
