County to Enforce
New Boating Laws
A real drive for enforce
ment of the new state boating
regulations will be started by
sheriff's deputies this week
end, according to Sheriff Joe
Walsh today.
Deputies patrolled the
county's water bodies at the
start of fishing season, but
state police made the few ar
rest? These were mainly for
not having life preservers,
slate police said.
During each of the two
shifts to be operated by the
sheriff's office, one deputy
will be on boat patrol, one
on the road, one on the desk
at the office in the court
house, and the chief criminal
deputy and one man will be
held in reserve for investiga
tions. Walsh said this week end,
the deputies will use a bor
rowed boat and as special
deputies personnel from the
Rogue Aqua Ski club. Durinil
the week cnos all deputies
will be on standby duty,
ready to go on call. This
means deputies will get one
Saturday or Sunday off every
30 weeks, Walsii explained.

Government. Supreme Court Decides
Texas, Florida
Issues Decided
In Opposite Way
Washington-IUPD - The Su
preme Court ruled today that
the federal government is en
titled to the rich oil lands
underlying the Gulf of Mex
ico off the states of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama be
yond the historic three-mile
limit.
The 5-2 ruling, by Justice
John M. Harlan, decided the
issue the opposi'f? way in the
case of Texas out to a dis
tance of three leagues or 10M
miles. The federal govern
ment gets the rest out to the
continental shelf.
Separate Florida Opinion
The case of Florida, the
fifth Gulf Coast state, was de
cided in a separate opinion
by Justice Hugo L. Black. The
ruling was that the state is
entitled to a belt of land un
der the gulf three marine
leagues (10.5 statute miles)
wide.
The court retained the Flor
ida case on docket for what
ever further proceedings may
be necessary to fix the coast
line more specifically.
Chief Justice Earl Warren
and Justice Tom C. Clark dis
qualified thmselves from par
ticipation in both cases. Clark
was U. S. Attorney General
when the Justice Department
was handling an earlier test
case involving California
Warren was governor of Cali

Of Russia's Atom Bomb Achievement
Washington - (UPD - The De

guarded statement today how
the United States learned in
1949 that Russia had broken
this country's nuclear monop

firming many previous pub

the presentation of an award
to the man most responsible
for developing the system
which delected Russia's first
atomic blast - Dr. Peter King,
associate director of the Naval
Research Laboratory.
King was given the Dis
tinguished Civilian Service
Award at a Pentagon cere
mony. King was honored for "out
standing achievement in con
tributing to the development
and direction of a long range
detection program which re
sulted in a system which pro
vided conclusive evidence of
the first atomic explosion by
a foreign power."
The citation accompanying
the award revealed there was
