Supreme Court cancels Doheny leases in Teapot Dome case
The Supreme Court today sustained government contentions to cancel Doheny oil leases and contracts connected with the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve. It ruled that Albert Fall’s influence and official actions corrupted the deals and that the 1920 act aimed to conserve oil, not remove it wholesale. The Sinclair case remains pending.
