Attorney General Sargent ruled
that the royalty oil contract In the

by Sargent on the royalty oil con-
tract OF the Sinclair Crude Oil Pur-
chasing Company in the Salt Greek
(Wyo) field, and the contract was
Cancelled.
Immediately upon receipt Of Sar.
gents opinion, Secretary of Interior
West notified the Lewistown Com
pany the Government would stop de-
livering oil to it at a. m. Monday
and new bids would be advertised.
The Lewistown contract was
signed by Fall in December, 1922,
and renewed last March by e. c.
Finney, Assistant Secretary Of In
terror. on recommendation Of the
General Land Office and the Geo
logical Survey.
The Sinclair contract was re-
newed by ex-Secretary of Interior
Work, now chairman OF the Repub-
Iican national committee.
When the Sinclair opinion was an
nOunced, West ordered an inyestiSa.
ton Of similar contracts and the
case was discovered.
