City to sue
on truck

The transmission began

truck was purchased last year.
The truck, still under warranty,
was returned to the dealer for
repairs.
The dealer had it towed to
Atlanta to a transmission shop
which caused further damage,
as the truck had been left in
gear, the city said.
GMC contends it is not
responsible. The city says the
truck would not have had to be
towed in the first place, had its
transmission been all right.
The damage was about $3,100.

Quick decision asked
in oil land dispute
By JAMES A. KIDNEV
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
Solicitor General Robert H.
Bork says President Ford’s
energy program needs a quick
Supreme Court decision on
whether 12 Atlantic Coast states
or the federal government own
vast offshore oil rights.
Bork argued for federal title
to millions of acres of undersea
land Monday, saying the
justices decided the basic
issues 28 years ago, and “the
urgent efforts of the President
to improve the energy program
require immediate judgment
here.”
Twelve Atlantic Coast states
have laid claim to the sea beds
beyond the 3-mile limit to the
brink of the Continental Shelf,
which extends up to 100 miles
offshore.
Brice Clagett of Washington,
representing all the states, said
colonial titles and 18th century
English maritime law vested
ownership in the states. He said
the states did not give up their
ownership when they joined the
Union.
Bork called the argument
“essentially irrelevant.” He
said that in 1947 the Supreme
Court ruled that the United
States has title to all sea
resources beyond the low tide
mark. The only state claim, he
said, was granted by Congress
in 1953 when it gave coastal
states control over the seas up
to three miles offshore.
Both the states and the
Department of the Interior are
anxious for a Supreme Court
ruling —and the lucrative
royalties expected from the oil
companies.
The federal government took
initial steps to lease land for
exploration in the Atlantic
Ocean, was stopped pending
Supreme Court action. Maine,
the first state to challenge
federal ownership, has already
issued permits to explore 3.3
million undersea acres up to 88
miles off its shore.
Clagett said state control of
oil exploration would not hurt
the national interest and that in
time of national emergency,
Washington could force the
states to speed oil development
if necessary.
In addition, Clagett said, the
states were challenging only
sea bed ownership, and the
federal government would still
control the sea above.
The justices will dispose of
oral arguments in the last oil
case of the term today when it
hears Floirda’s claim to Atlan
tic sea beds. Florida originally
joined with the other 12 states
to contest federal ownership,
but dropped out because its
claim does not rest on colonial
titles. Florida asserts different
historic grounds including
terms of its readmission to the
union in 1868.
All 13 coast states bear a
heavy burden in persuading the
justices to side with them
because a special master
appointed by the court ruled in
favor of the U.S. The justices
rarely do more than slightly
modify a special master’s
conclusions..
Earlier Monday, the justices
heard technical arguments
about how to define the three
mile limit off Louisiana’s
shores for oil exploration
Doctor
Which therapy best
for arthritis of hips?
By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D.
DEAR DR. LAMB - Could
you refer me to any information
on the treatment of arthritis?
Recently a relative in his late
50s developed pain in both hips
which the doctors have diagnos
ed as arthritis. I am wondering
if exercise is the best therapy
or if rest, which is more com
fortable, may be recommend
ed.
I understand there is no cure,
but hope the pain could be
lessened. He uses a cane, so far
with difficulty.
DEAR READER — Arthritis
of the hip joints is a fairly com
mon problem in men. This is
usually osteoarthritis or wear
and tear arthritis.
Osteoarthritis affects the
weight-bearing joints most
frequently, hence the hips,
knees and ankles.
The various forms of arthritis
are discussed in a book I wrote
with Laßue Stone called,
“There’s Help for Arthritis.”
You can get a copy by writing to
me in care of this newspaper, at
P.O. Box 1551, Radio City Sta
tion, New York, N.Y. 10019 and
asking for the book. Send one
dollar for the book plus 25 cents
postage and handling. Or you
might find it among the paper
backs at your book store.
It is important to maintain
the full range of motion of all
joints regardless of the type of
arthritis. That is part of the ob
jective of continued exercise.
However, in osteoarthritis
there is often a tendency to
overdo it. Rest is equally im
portant. Characteristically in
osteoarthritis rest will relieve
the pain. The use of a cane and
crutches are efforts to decrease
the work and help to relieve the
arthritis.
A person with osteoarthritis
causing pain should try to limit
the amount of activity. A good
program is to be up and about
for only part of the day. then
get the weight off the hips by ly
ing down for a couple of hours.
Remember the purpose of the
exercise is only to maintain full
range of motion and muscle
strength. Otherwise the joint
does better getting as much
rest as possible. A combined
rest and suitable exercise

DEAR DR. LAMB - I’m 10
years old. I would like for you to
explain what convulsions are.
DEAR READER - They
usually occur after you have
lost consciousness (passed out).
The brain has centers in it that
control the contraction of your
muscles. These start causing
your muscles to contract on
their own. The result is the
sudden contraction and move
ment of the arms, legs and
other parts of the body.
The contractions can be
irregular with no rhythm or
they can occur in a rhythmic
fashion.
Convulsions can occur with a
deep faint from any cause, or in
the presence of a fever or a
variety of disorders that may
affect the brain. They are more
common in children during il
lness with fever than in adults.
