Hoover Oil Policy Faces Court Test
The Hoover administration's oil conservation policy faces a legal challenge in the District of Columbia Supreme Court as Ethel M. McClennan seeks a mandamus ruling. The suit argues the Interior Department improperly canceled her prospecting permit without a hearing and questions the secretary's authority to grant leases, potentially affecting hundreds of canceled applications if the government loses. Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford set a June 17 date to show cause for an injunction.
