Throw Out on
Oil Suit Asked
Washington ) The Justice
Department Tuesday asked the
U. S. District court her to
throw out a suit by the state
of Arkansas challenging the
right of coastal states to oil
lands underneath the marginal
seas.
Congress enacted legislation
at its last session recognizing
claims of the coastal states to
the lands. Arkansas filed suit
contending the legislation was
unconstitutional, -
"' fri reply,"the Justice Depart

no legal interest The depart

Arkansas does not have the
right to sue the federal govern
ment without the consent of
Congress.
Arkansas has until Sept 17 to
reply to the motion. After its
reply is filed, a date will be set
for arguments on the matter.
