e st i et OIL CONTRACT NOT BINDING 70 0.5 clair Salt Creek Instrament |- Washington, Oct. ll—(fl——Elrl}'i_ action was in prospect today to re-| lieve the government of obligations | arising from another contract wuhl the Sinclalr interests—that providing | for the purchase of government royalty oil from the 8ait Creek, Wyoming, fleld, the center of con- siderable agitation since its renewal | in February by Hubert Work, then secretary of the interior. The instrument was held invalid by Attorney General Sargent in a ruling made public late yesterday, because it contained a renewal op-| tion upon which unsuccessful appli- cants for the original contract were given no opportunity to bid. | Executed by Fall | The agreement was executed in 1922 by Albert B, Fall, as secretary of the Interior, and was held, originally by the Mammoth 0il | company. Later the Sinclair Crude ©Oll Purchasing company assumed the contract. Fall is under indict ment for criminal conspiracy to de- | fraud the government as a consc- quence of the celebrated leasing of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to Harry F. Sinclair. | With the expiration of the con-| tract last December, the Sinclair company sought to renew it under its option and renewal was granted | in February by Secretary Work. Now chairman of the republican nation: committee, who held that the con- grant concessions to tention that the option was illegal has not been proved, and said the department solicitor had ruled there was no alternative. | Later, Work referred the case to the department of Justice, and At- torney General Sargent's ruling re- | vealed that President Coolidge had | als requested that he take such ac- | tion. Meanwhile agituiion developed in the senate and a senate commit- tee visited the Salt Creek ficld in the course of a gencral investigation of |ten leases affecting that territory. | Not Binding | Sargent declared that in his opin- | fon the contract has no binding ef- fect upon the United States, rt- ing that 1t was “not let in the man- ner required by law,” and that it was | beyond the power of the sccretary of ; the interior to include the renewal | option. The secretary, he said, “has no power to enter into a contract with | the highest bidder containing an | option of renewal provision, when | such ‘provision was not otfered to all | bidders in the advertisement for bids.” He added that there could be Don’t envy somc other woman the ability to look at- tractive and styl- ish on less than you have.

Clemenceau Dines With Newspapermen Paris, Oct. 17 (M — Georges Clemenceau, “the Old Tiger,” came out of his lair in a jocular mood for a few minutes today and made his first appearance in years at a luncheon of the Anglo-American Press association. “What can I tell America?’ he asked with a smile. “Americans know everything.” Speaking in per- fect English he told of his pleasure in seeing so many correspondents whom he had often met during the war. “My heart is with you Ameri- cans, one and all.” he concluded. The war-time premier had often been invited to appear before the association but always insisted he “was out of the picture.” It hap- pened that he was lunching with triends today at the same restau- rant as the newspapermen and 8o readily agreed to say a few words.

PINGHOT STL N FAVOR OF HOOVER Predicts Peansylvania Will 6o for Republican Candidate . Reading. Pa., Oct. 17 (UP)—For- mer Governor Gifiord Pinchot of Pennsylvania declared today he atill | favored election of Herbert Hoover as president, despite his own fallure to qualify as a pro-Hoover cam- paign speaker. Pinchot, here to speak on & pro- posed state loan for forestry, pre- dicted Pennsylvania would go for Hoover, and that the republican candidate would even carry Berks county, normally democratic, The former governor revellled last night that he had offered to make ing his stand to say in his addresses that he dls- agreed with the nominee on water power and farm relief. This offer was rejected by Repre- sentative Walter H. Newton, head of the republican speakers’ bureau, on the ground it would not be wise to have such speeches made, according to Pinchot. Sent Letter Pinchot said he had sent the fol- lowing létter to Newton, which led to his rejection as a speaker: “You may or may not know there has been printed recently g state- ment 1 made some years ago to the Sacramento Bee, a letter to Henry Wallace, former secretary of agri- culture, and another letter to John A. Simpson of Oklahoma, in all of which I have expressed my opinion of certain aspects of Mr. Hoover's attitude toward the farmera during and since the World war. “If 1 speak for him I shall un- doubtedly be questioned concerning these documents. In that case the only answer I can honestly make is that I believed those statements when T made them, that I belleve them now and that my choice for Mr. Hoover as against Governor Smith is based on the stand of the two candidates on prohibition, which 1 hold to be the paramount issue of this campaign. “Several times in public speeces I have attacked Mr. Hoover's posi- tion on electric power. I hold the same opinfons still. If I am ques- tioned as to Governor Smith's atti- tude on the power trust, I shall be obliged to say (because that is the tact) that his stated position is sub- stantially sound. “Also, I have publicly advocated the McNary-Haugen bill with the equalization fee, and if questioned on that shall be obliged to say that I advocate it still.
