comb went into a fifth floor cor-

Clear TMe To
Tidelawd* S—n
DALLAS. Feb. 19 (U.RX-Gov.
Robert Kennon of Louisiana has
predicted that the states will get
a clear title for oil development of
the tidelands.
He spoke at a junior chamber of
commerce facts and forum meet-
ing here Wednesday and said he
expects early congressional action
giving the oil-rich lands to the
states.
Kennon also told the group he
would favor Texas Gov. Allan
Shivers as a candidate for the pre-
sidential nomination in 1956 or
1960. "I feel that America will
want a new look in government a-
bout that time," he said, "and I
can think of no better man as a
candidate."
Kennon said the federal govern-
ment's position on the tidelands
was confusing. He said it allowed
Louisiana to fish in the shallow
waters, und to catch shrimp, "but
some grasping federal people say
we cannot go down a little deeper
and use the oil of these lands. It
doesn't make sense."
Kennon also described a new
program using businessmen as po-
licy directors for state agencies.
Kennon said the plan, authorized
last Nov. 4 in a constitutional a-
mendment in Louisiana, "is elimi-
mating waste in government."
Under the plan, Kennon said,
businessmen serve as an unpaid
board of directors for such agen-
cies as the highway department,
wildlife and fish division and the
btiard of institutions.
He said the system could i e
adopted for use in any state.

Being Iron Ring
AUSTIN, Feb. 19 (U.R)—A Sen-
ate subcommittee Thursday had
the thorny problem of deciding
what to do with an annexation
bill- which opponents charged
would "put an iron ling around
Texas cities."
The .controversial bill lays down
new rules for annexation of out-
lying districts by cities. It was
sponsored by Sen. Johnny B. Rog-
ers of Austin. Rogers and other
proponents argued that the pro-
posal docs nothing more than ''lay
down orderly rules for annexa-
at Fort Worth.
Hill was arrested a month after
the holdup when he appeared «t
a wooded section near Azle, Tex.
Officers ound $128,000 of the loot
buried there, but the rest has not
been accounted for.
Attorneys for Hill said Wednes-
day they would contend at Hill's
trial that the holdup was a "fake"
and thut the two Cubans were
"robbed" by confederates.

Houaton City Attorney Will
Seera led the opposition at a
hearing Wednesday. Other oppo-
sition came from repitsentatives
of Austin, San Antonio, Fort
Worth, Palestine, Dallas, Amaril-
lo, Aransas Pass and Lubbock.
Sears said the bill "would pre-
vent any annexation" and assail-
ed one section requiring detailed
mapping and census studies prior
to annexation.
He said Houston annexed 79
square miles in 1950. "If we'd had
the law then, we'd still be draw-
ing the map," he said.
Austin attorney Truman O'Quinn
said he drafted the proposed law
at the request of a Travis county
citizen's organization. He said all
the maps required by the bill were
necessarily at hand when any city
planned to annex a territory.
But San Antonio City Attorney
Harvey L. Hardy said mapping
requirements were "absurdedly
detailed . « . and the cost would
be prohibitive."
Sen. Jimmy Phillips, who wants
tighter annexation laws, said that
a man "killed a de^r on Lot 42.
Block 11" in the city of LaPorte.
He said the hunting grounds, while
in LaPorte's city limits, were three
miles from any residences.
Sears said that LaPorte "had
recently discontinued" that area as
being part of the city, but Phil-
lips snapped: "They might have
