Naval oil use backed in long Senate debate
In a heated session, lawmakers argued over transferring naval oil reserves to the Interior Department. Rep. Hebert warned Elk Hills and Tea Pot Dome loom if the reserves fall under civilian control, while Rep. Bell pushed for immediate production to meet national needs. Debate focused on military vs civilian control and projected output. Portland authorities dropped murder and arson charges against John Joseph Newvine after insufficient evidence in the Pomona Motel fire that killed eight and injured 26.

Sadat Kissinger clash over Sinai accord report
Secretary of State Henry Kissinger dismissed reports of a near Sinai peace agreement with Egypt as he headed to Europe for talks. He said the United States will push for a settlement while noting no deal is near. The interview with Anwar Sadat suggested terms including Sinai oilfields return, but Israeli leaders said key issues remain unsettled. Rabin and Allon urged strong US commitments, and a secret Defense Ministry message vanished in Jerusalem sparking parliamentary uproar. A Bakersfield fire destroyed a Seventh-day Adventist Church building downtown.
