Turkish Chiefs
Start Arrests to
Drown Politics
By WEBB McKINLEY
ANKARA, Turkey, Wl — The
revolutionary government moved
yesterday to stamp out political
activity in Turkey with scattered
arrests
The roundup followed the sui
cide of Namik Gedik, former In
terior Minister who, as director of
police, was one of the most hated
members of ousted Premier Adnan
Menderes’ regime.
The arrests were believed di
rected against attempts to stir
Menderes’ old Democratic Party
back to life following last Friday’s
military coup.
After its first formal meeting
Monday, the provisional cabinet
announced it was banning “for
the time being all partiy activities
with the aim of preventing all dis
cussions and struggles between
brothers which might create angry
incidents.”
There were unconfirmed re
ports that some were hoping to
organize an attempt to free
Menderes.
MENDERES WILL STAND
TRIAL IN TURKEY
ANKARA, TURKEY, W) — Tur
key’s acting president, Lt. Gen.
Gemal Gursel, says ousted Pre
mier Adnan Menderes and his
ministers will stand trial and will
be barred from political activity
if an investigation already under
way shows evidence of misdeeds
in office.
But if they are found blameless,
they will be free to run in the
elections Gursel has promised to
hold, he told a news conference
Tuesday night.

is $8,025. California pays an av
erage of $6,525 followed by Alas
ka, $6,500.
The estimated current expendi

Supreme Court
Sets Lopsided Rule
In Tidelands Case
WASHINGTON. UTi — In a case
potentially involving billions of
dollars, the Supreme Court ruled
yesterday that rights of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama to oil in
submerged Gulf of Mexico lands
extend just three miles off their
coast. It held that rights of Texas
and Flordia extend to three
leagues, or about 10.45 miles.
The justices were so split in
their opinions as to the individual
states that the precise division in
the historic decision was not
sharply defined.
The ruling was by a seven-man
court. Chief Justice Warren and
Justice Clark disqualified them
selves. Warren is a former Gov
ernor of California, another state
where there is a submerged lands
issue. Clark headed the Justice
Department as Attorney General
during earlier phases of litigation
over the ownership of Gulf lands.
By its limiting of Louisiana’s I
ownership of submerged lands to
three geographical miles, the
government is in a position to
pick up immediately in the neigh
borhood of 300 million dollars,
and untold millions ih the future.
The Interior Department has
been leasing disputed lands off the
Louisiana coast and putting the
money in escrow pending today’s
decision.
The money now tied up is in the
neighborhood of 300 million. It !
came almost entirely from leases
off Louisiana. Only leases off
Louisiana so far have brought in
substantial revenue.
If there is substantial mineral
leasing off Texas and Florida,
those states stand to pocket the
money.
Justice Harlan, however, dis
sented as to the Florida decision.
Justice Black wrote the court’s
main decision in the Florida de
cision. He dissented in the cases
of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama. He favored giving them the
same treatment as Texas and
Florida.
Justice Douglas dissented as to
Texas. He said, however, that
Florida’s claim was fully estab
lished by the standard that he
would fix for Texas to meet in de
ciding the tidelands issue.
“If we are to relax the standard
of proof for the benefit of Texas,”
Douglas said, “we should do so
for all these claimants. In that
posture, the claims of each of the
other Gulf states are as clear as
those of Texas.”

Alaska Tidelands
Not Affected by
New Rule - Moody
JUNEAU, (#> — The Supreme
Court decisions involving oil
rights in submerged lands of the
Gulf of Mexico off the states of
Texas ,Florida, Louisiana, Missis
sippi and Alabama will have no
immediate bearing on Alaska tidal
land questions, the State Attorney
General said yesterday.
Atty. Gen. Ralph Moody said
Alaska’s right to lease revenue
from offshore submerged lands
was limited to three miles by the
Statehood Act.
Moody said the law under which
Alaska was admitted to the Union
set out that the Submerged Lands
Act of 1953 was applicable to the
new state — limiting Alaska to
property rights to three miles off
shore.
The Sureme Court, in split de
cisions, held the rights of Texas
and Florida extended to 10.45
miles. The three other states in
volved in the case were limited to
claims up to three miles offshore.
