LANDIN IS CALLED * INELK HILS S Officer Was Supervisor of California Oil Reserves When Land Was Transferred. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, December 5.— Comdr. R. F. Landin, U, 8. N, was summoned to take the stand today in A.lhe Government’s suit against Edward L. Doheny and the Pan-American Pe- troleum Co. seeking cancellation of the oil leases valued at $15,000,000 in the Elk Hills, Calif., naval oil reserve. Landin was supervisor of all naval oll reserves in California in 1921 when they were transferred by the late Presi- dent Harding from the Navy Depart- ment to the Department of the Interior under Secretary Albert B. Fall. The - Government, which contends that the Elk Hills leases passed into xontrol of the Pan-American Co. through a conspiracy between Doheny and Fall, gained a point yesterday ‘When Federal Judge Frank Norcross of Nevada, hearing the case without a Jjury, admitted to evidence portions of the transcript of testimony taken at pre\'io&xs trials in’ which Fall has red. Norman Sterry, chief counsel for Doheny, waged a bitter fight to ex- clude the transcript on the ground that it had no bearing in the present suit, since the recent conviction of Fall on a charge of accepting from Doheny a bribe of $100,000 had adjudicated all previous actions. Atlee Pomerene, former United States ‘Senator, head of the Government's at- torneys in the case, said the Govern- ment would show that the Elk Hills leases were involved in the $100,000 bribery incident, and also that they were made illegally. Edward C. Finney, First Assistant Secretary of the Interior under Fall, t witness called by the Government, concluded his testimony by identifying a long list of letters and documents ‘bearing on the award of the California leases. Among the documents admitted as evidence were letters from Doheny to his son, the late Edward L. Doheny, Jr.; letters from Doheny to Fall and a copy of the presidential order trans- ferring the reserve to the Interior De- partment. ‘SOUTHERN IViARYLAND SOCIETY DINES TONIGHT #Gov.
