Assembly Committee Recommends Cooperative Action on Tidelands SACRAMENTO (CNS) — One of the most concise, comprehensive, and informative reports turned out by a legislative interim committee in a long time has just come off the press. This is the report of the Senate Interim Committee on Tidelands, headed by Senator Arthur H. Breed, Jr., chairman. Senator Breed was assisted by Senators James J. McBride, Ventura; Edwin J. Regan, Weaverville; Jack B. Tenney, Los Angeles, and A. R. Way, Eureka. The recommendations in the report are to the effect that the California legislature "must continue to guard zealously the sovereignty and rights of California in regard to the seizure of its tidelands by the federal government", and should send resolutions to all other states. It also recommends that all state agencies should examine the implication of the federal 'paramount rights' doctrine to determine to what extent state jurisdiction is threatened. Close co-ordination is recommended rights not only of California, of all states." Such a claim, the report threatens to destroy the constitutional concept of private property, which is the basis of free enterprise system, and skirts the doctrine become firmly tabulated in law, so much would be centralized in the local government that freedom would be lost. Further, the port says that under the document all natural resources everywhere in the nation are in danger confiscation. The committee also conclues that the "federal government engaged in a bitter campaign propaganda designed to mislead the American people and state against state for the purpose of perpetuating and extending tidelands doctrine of paramount rights." It treats not only on the lands seizure, but also the environment's invasion of inland terrestrial rights, in the Fallbrook, Diego county case. Also outlining is the tideland development Joseph W.

It also recommends that all state agencies should examine the implication of the federal 'paramount rights' doctrine to determine to what extent state jurisdiction is threatened. Close co-ordination is recommended between Texas and Louisiana, the other two states involved in tideland and oil specific programs for combatting propaganda against the interests of the state should be sought from public and private organizations. The report says. In its conclusions, the committee outlines its belief that the tidelands seizure 'gravelly threatens the sovereignty and property' BUYING A CAR?

WHITE Modern science fiction, the national defense effort and even current movies and TV have glamorized the potentialities of careers for young men in a few fields and have definitely sligated others. At the risk of sounding old fashioned, we say to you today, mother, if your boy enjoys the out of doors, loves animals, wants to be his own boss, and aims to be financially independent, encourage him to take up farming. It is too early for the 1952 tax figures, but statistics from the previous year revealed that 21 more men joined the millionaire class in California that year and 19 of them were farmers. And the financial gain is but one side of the satisfaction of a career in farming. FUTURE FARMERS The Anaheim chapter of Future Farmers is as ambitious, energetic group of high school - age boys as you will find anywhere. Already they have established goals for themselves and are preparing for a career in agriculture. Future Farmers have the spotlight this week because the Anaheim chapter has just completed its annual public speaking contest in preparation for county-wide competition. There is a lot of talent in the home town. The local chapter already boasts two state winners. This year 17 boys participated in the contest, the most interest Profit and Fun!" Darold Peters, junior, on "Agriculture is for Me;" Jess Villa, senior, on "Proper Fertilization Pays" and Sam Lindeboom, junior, on "The Nothing of It All." OUTSTANDING THINKING The merit and high quality of every entry is revealed in the remarks of Avon Carlson, advisor: This was one of the greatest series of outstanding thinking, without interference from classroom teachings, that I have witnessed. The advanced agriculture class acted as judges and picked their own winners. From the choice of topics and subject material, it is apparent that these boys are convinced that farming is still the backbone of America. Aware that farmers are sometimes classed as "underdogs" or "peasants" and more people are moving to the cities than are moving to the country to farm, Anaheim Future Farmers intend to preserve the great American heritage by making American stronger through its farms. Richard Williams, second prize winner who believes in the future of farming expresses it this way: "I believe that to live and work on a good farm is pleasant as well as challenging. The modern farmer must be the following; veterinarian, must know the course nature takes. He must be scientific minded, and know diseases, etc. He must be mechanical minded and know his machinery. I believe in leadership. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining. The Future Farmers creed says that Ameica can and will hold...
