Government Loses Suit To Take Doheny Oil Lands
Los Angeles November 10 The Federal Government failed to reclaim 660 acres of land in the United States naval oil reserve No 1 Kern county California. The court upheld Pan American Petroleum now a Richfield Oil subsidiary as owner, ruling title not obtained by fraud though connected to the Fall Doheny Sinclair scandal. The decision limits government recovery and preserves Richfield holdings in an old Harding era case.
