HIGH COURT GIVEN
PORTO RICAN CASE
Oil Lease Decisions Used as
Precedents in Alleged Land
Fraud Appeal,
BY the Associated Press.

Using as precedents the Supreme
Courts decisions cancelling the Teapot
Dome and Elk Hills naval oil reserve
contracts, the American and Porto
Rican Governments presented to that
court yesterday an alleged land fraud
in Porto Rico with request that it be
reviewed.
It arose from the exchange, by au-
thority of an act of Congress, of the
old Spanish Fort San Geronimo at San
Juan, owned by the United States and
Porto Rico, and valued at 100000. for
a piece of land on which Lieut.. Comdr
Virgil Baker of the Navy was alleged to
have had an option which cost him
only $3.50.
In asking the Supreme Court to re-
view the case the Government asserted
that Baker, by repeated misrepreSenta-
tions to the Navy Department, induced
the transfer of the fort from the Army
to the Navy on the claim that 1t was
urgently needed by the latter.
The Government contended that
Baker then obtained the property for
his own personal use under a five-year
lease, which subsequently was extended
to 999-year lease.
In the Federal District Court the ex-
change was set aside, but in the Circuit
Court of Appeals the Government lost,
that court basing its decision on the
ground that Congress having authorized
the exchange 1t must stand.
