The Navy Department has been in

oil storage tanks at Honolulu which
were built under the Doheny- Elk Hills
oil contract and which have not been
used since the contract has been in
litigation. While the tanks are be
coming rusty from disuse, II was
stated. Secretary Wilbur has explained
that the Navy Department is power
less to prevent it. rs its hands are
tied by special Government counsel.
who have issued instructions that the
Navy do nothing which would indicate
an acceptance. on the part of the
Government of the tanks under the
terms of the contract.
The Government has contended
that the contract was Illegal and seeks
TO have il Cancelled. AS a result it
is the desire of the Government il
was explained. to avoid the appear
ance of recognizing the validity of the
contract and thereby run the risk of
prejudicing the case in court.
Frank !. Hogan. OF counsel for Ed
ward l.. Doheny, is quoted in state
ment TO the effect that arrangement
could be made to save the tanks with.
out prejudicing the Government S
case in the courts should the Govern
ment allow Mr.. Doheny to supply oil
under arrangements which. he con-
tends, would protect the Governments s
legal rights in the case. An offer TO
this effect was made about year ago.
Mr.. Hogan states. but was nechn ID
by Government counsel ~
Permission was asked by the coy
ernment. through the Secretary of the
Navy, for the use of one oil tank a.
Honolulu last Summer. Mr.. Hoga n
continued, and this was granted with.
out prejudice 10 the Governments s
case and tank 3S has been in use
ever since. At the same time an Of
Ter was made for the Government 10
use any number of tanks under The
same stipulations. Mr.. Hogan pointed
out further that TO keep the tanks
from rusting il was suggested 20 the
Government to put a little oil in each
which would not have preiudired the
rights of either side in the litigation.
