The article discusses about "Texas Tidelands", the submerged area extending three marine leagues seaward to the Gulf of Mexico. Governor Allan Shiver, in 1952 flew to Chicago and conferred privately with politician Adlai Stevenson. He said "Anti-Texas Adlai" was against "Texas Tidelands," and said that he as a loyal Texan would support U.S. President Dwight David Eisenhower. Eisenhower went to Houston, Texas and promised his fellow Texans that they, not the All-Powerful Federal Government, own "Texas Tidelands." On November 7, 1957, the United States Government sued Texas for the tidelands between the three-mile and the three-league (10.5 mile) limits.
