The flood, which resulted from the runoff of record snows in the Wasatch Mountains, inundated more than ISO blocks. Long Beach, Calif., Termed 'Darndest Over-Rich City' Long Beach, Calif. IU.R) This citv may be small but, as some sav. "it's the darndest over rich city in America and literally doesn't know what to do with all the dough it gets." The town, which hugs a pleas ant slrip of sunny beach, n on top of one of the world s ricnesi oil dooIs. Since stumbling on this multi-million-dollar wind fall 14 years ago, it has put away an S80.223.000 kitty and "kitty" keens growing at the rate ot $20,000,000 a year. Geologist say the oil should hold out for an- other half century. However, the city can't spend nickel of the money except for more oil wells and to keep its waterfront and part of its popu lace from sinking into the ground as the black gold is pumped out. The cause of this frustration is that the city's locution has land ed it in the middle of the tide- lands controversy. Claimed bv U. S. Uncle Sam claims this big puddle of oil is his and the city and oil companies have im pounded the cash voluntarily while Congress considers legis lation to settle the matter. "Socialism," "Com munism and "nationalization" are some of the charges hurled by defend ers of state ownership. A former senntor from Cali fornia said legislation against the states would provide "any future executive with a legal pass-key to Fascism or Communism."'

That argu ment adds that under "para mount right over the property, "whatever of value may be dis covered in the sea . . . will most naturally be appropriated" for federal use. States Involved Long Beach and the states in volved California, Texas and Louisiana stand to have their oil revenue cut, drastically In some cases, If the government obtains a favorable decision This city s contract with one major oil company gives it a fabulous 95 per cent return, five to seven times more than exist ing federal leases bring, accord ing to city spokesmen. The town's residents arc wor ried lest their city become a roaring boom town overnight if the government loses, however. Oil speculators have filed claims throughout the area, some, it is said, on whole city blocks. "The entire waterfront, In cluding even the municipal audi torium, has been filed upon," said a spokesman for the board of harbor commissioners. "Thirty-seven per cent of the entire area of the city is 'tlde lnnds,' including the beach and amusement parks." Great Port Built Not -the least of the town's worries Is Its fabulous man-made harbor. Under a state grant, the city was restricted to spending its oil revenue on its harbor and beaches. The port, part of tidelands de velopments valued at $300,000, 000, is the envy of seaports the world over. It boasts what Is called the world's largest tran sit shed with five-and-a-ahalf acres of covered floor space on a mile-long pier. This harbormas ter's dream earned the city more than $1,000,000 in 1950. However, many resident shave thought the money should be spent on other things besides the harbor.

Soviet planes and troops are on the move in Eastern G-e r many, but, so far, only on m'fi maneuvers. J 1 However, It's no help either lu net Vto ui frayed tempers 10 nave sucn Tm&;:; incidents '.V -lf -E a TiimHqv'i &amifcliiJJ wherein trie' I'hil Newsom e r-happy pi lots of two Russian MIG jets sprayed a French airliner with machlnegun and cannon fire. The fact that the plane got back to Tempelhof Airdrome with only two wounded pas sengers was not the fault of the Russian pilots. Nor Is it particularly sooth ing to the American soldier on occupation duty in Germany to overhear a Russian message or dering troops to march in his direction, even if he knows its only maneuvers. Could Keep on Going Officers know that the Rus sians could start a forced march by some unit some night, and just keep right on going. It is Into this aura of tension that Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway transfers from hot war in Korea to cold war in Europe. Ridgway moves into a situa tion where it is not expected that the Russians will attack this year, but where it Is known that they could. In some ways it will not be so different from masterminding the Korean war. It will just be on a vaster scale. Troops Outnumbered He will be In command of troops vastly outnumbered by Communist forces drawn up on the other side. And in same ways his situation will be worse than it was in Korea where he finally has been able to organize a de fense In depth.

TUNA TAX EYED Washington IU.R) The Sen ate Finance committee may act next week on a House-approved bill to impose a three-cents-a-pound tax on imports of fresh or frozen tuna, committee attaches said Wednesday. Sllverton, Ore. U.R) How ard M. BalderstOne, 40, has been chosen superintendent of Silver ton public schools, School Board Chairman Lloyd Larsen said Wednesday. to make Long Beach a "taxless" city. Recently, the state legislature cleared the way for other use of the old funds, providing that half of the money could be spent for general city use. That will have to remain a fond dream until the tidelands ownership question Is settled. It has been debated since 1943. The thin Allied forces In West ern Europe have nothing behind the Rhine. , Here is the way Allied officers assess the job facing Ridgway as he takes over the task of build ing up the Western European army. ! Satellites Building Russia has about 175 divisions and is building up the satellite divisions which now number around 65. The army Ridgway will command now has about 25 divisions and should have around 50 by the end of this year that Is, If all goes wen, and not count ing some 30 to 33 divisions in the Yugoslav army which is pledged to the West in case of attack. The Yugoslav army is believed able to contain the satellites. Russia Building Jets The Russians reportedly have around 20,000 planes, of which 5,000 to 6,000 are jets. They are building jets at the rate of about 400 a month. Their close support planes are of 1945 vintage, bub they are working to convert to jets. A Soviet division numbers about 12,000 men and the Rus sians are going In heavily for mechanization. Their mobility Is Increasing constantly and the Russian sol dier is very well trained.
