Grave suspicions that this condition existed have been bandied back and forth in Government circles ever since the Senate ofl inquiry was concluded, but every one has been reluctant to believe these suspicions, Report to Be Issued Soon. | It has been learned, however, that a report soon to be made public by the Department of Interior will serve to confirm the growing fears of those who had hared ‘Teapot Dome would fulfill its heralded destiny as one of America's greatest naval ofl reserves.
