Question of Kern County Oil Arises WASHINGTON (UPI) — The U. S. Court of Claims opened a hearing Monday into the question of how former Interior Secretary Harold Ickes—or anyone else—could have known there was oil under a certain section of Kern County, back in 1903. The question was the central issue in a 15 million-dollar claim against the government for taking over 159 acres of land without compensating the owner shortly after World War I. The case recalled the colorful days of California's oil boom. It was brought by the estate of Charles O. Fairbank, and its executor, Charles Fairbank, with the help of his brother, Robert Fairbank, Charles Fairbank now lives in Canada and Robert in Honolulu. The claims court was ordered to hear the case by an act of Congress. The case has been in and out of the courts for 30 years. Specifically, the claims court was called upon to decide whether land owned by the Fairbank family was "known mineral land" at the time title passed to the state of California Jan. 26, 1903. The land was part of a section set aside for school use under the terms of California's Statehood Act. But under the law, if the acreage had known mineral wealth, title would remain with the federal government. California put the land up for sale at $1.25 per acre but found few takers until the Fairbank family took possession in 1910. Oil was discovered nearby in 1919, 16 years after the title passed to the state and nine years after several owners decided to buy up tracts. The Fairbank land eventually became part of the oil rich property known as Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 Elk Hills. In 1935, Ickes ruled that the land was known to have contained mineral resources and therefore belonged to the U. S. government. The administrative decision overruled an earlier finding by the commissioner of the General Land Office, following extensive hearings, which held that there was no indication the land contained mineral resources at the time California took title. The government won a multi-million dollar settlement from the Standard Oil Company of California for use of the land. The Supreme Court also refused to review a lower court decision which held that Ickes had the final decision on the question.

Thar' She Blows! by Abigail Van Buren DEAR ABBY: For years (14 to be exact) I've been covering up for my husband for the sake of my children, and now I am beginning to wonder if I've been doing the right thing. He's always had other women (one at a time) and when he'd stay out all night I'd say, "Dad was gone on a business trip." Everyone thinks he is an honorable family man and he certainly doesn't deserve the good reputation he enjoys. Spoke to my minister about this three years ago and he said given time he'd straighten out. But nothing has changed. Should I continue to cover up for him or force a showdown? TIRED OF COVERING DEAR TIRED: "Covering up" for a cheating husband is like buying a tweed coat to cure dandruff. Unless you insist on a better marriage and a full-time husband, he'll assume you don't miss it and he'll make no effort to change. Don't expose him to the children, but do see a marriage counselor. DEAR ABBY: After going together for six years my boyfriend and planned to be married at a simple ceremony at the City Hall during any lunch hour on Friday. I missed my bus and got there about 40 minutes late. He and his buddy were later than I was and when he showed up I noticed his eyes were blurry and he smelled like a brewery. I said, "I am not marrying any man in that condition!" And I didn't stay with get married either. Marriage to me is something sacred even if I can't afford a fancy Church wedding. I think the least he could have done was strayed sober. Was I wrong? NOT MARRIED DEAR NOT: Not by a long shot!

FULLERTON to Annex north of Placentia FULLERTON (OCNS) — A request by property owners to annex 101 acres north of Placentia Fullerton was orally submitted yesterday, city officials reported today.

'FLYING' SAUCER FLIGHT SLATED WASHINGTON (UPI)—The United States will test-fly its first "flying saucer" this summer, a defense expert said today. The expert, who is connected with the program, said the public will be "absolutely amazed" at the new manned aircraft when Pentagon secrecy wraps finally are taken off, perhaps this year. "I've never seen anything like it in all the years I've spent in aviation," he told United Press International, "and that's most of my life." He said the saucer will be able to skim close to the ground, dart between trees, dip into small valleys and generally hug the earth's surface, thus confounding enemy radar. It also will be able to hover over a fixed spot and move sideways. The saucer will provide the Army with a modern airborne "cavalry," he said. Troops and supplies could be rushed anywhere despite the terrain-whether it be mud, ice, water or mountains.
