For, by a recent supreme court decree, submerged tidelands oil lands are now the property of federal government. Pauley is no small operator. His holdings of tidelands oil run into millions. In fact he was the a who helped collect around $300,000 in campaign contributions for the democratic party in the hope that the Democrats would keep tidelands oil under state control (which incidentally Truman did not do). Now that Tidelands, or submerged oil, has reverted to the federal government, some ticklish problems have to be settled regarding the companies which are still operating as virtual squatters on this forbidden territory.
