President Roosevelt approved cancellation of the Elk Hills oil contract between the Navy and Standard Oil of California. The pact would have paid Standard 1,748,408 dollars for perpetual title to 8,300 acres and allowed Standard to operate the field and keep one third of the oil. Attorney General Biddle ruled the contract illegal last June amid repeated congressional charges that it remained in effect.
