Celebrities JeweIer
Jailed in New York
Floto Held on Suspicion
Of Putting Gems in Pawn
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 28.-Paul E.
Flato, jeweler who counted nobility
and stage, screen and radio celebri-
ties among his clientele, awaited
arraignment in Felony Court today,
charged with suspicion of grand
larceny in the paWning of jewely
consigned to him on memorandum.
Assistant District Attorney Eman-
uel Robbins said the 42-year-old
jeweler and jewelry designer admit
ted accepting 100000 in jewelry on
memorandum, most of it from other
dealers, and paWning it because he
was short of funds.
FlatO was arrested Yesterday and
placed in a cell in police headquar-
ters.
The district attorneys Office said
investigation into Flato's affairs
came after David Davidoff, an
attorney for several jeWelry dealers,
lodged complaint.
Flato, who maintained offices here
and in Hollywood, reported to police
recently that a 100000 diamond
pendant had disappeared from his
New York office. Police said the
pendant had been sent to him on
consignment.
Among Flato's clients were Mrs.
Doris Duke Cromwell, Infanta
Beatriz, daughter of the former
King Alfonso XIII of Spain, and
former Queen Victoria Eugene of
Spain.
In 1889 he mounted and set for
the first time the 125-carat Jonker
diamond, largest stone cut from the
original 726-carat Jonker.

House Group TO Probe
Navy Plan 10 Develop
Elk Hills Oil Fields
Voorhis AssuiIs Contract
With Standard; Fears
Exhaustion of Reserves
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House Public Lands Commit
tee decided today to conduct a
Thorough investigation and hear
Ing" into Navy plans for develop
ment of the Elk Hills Navy oil re-
serve in California. The Elk Hills
oil fields were involved in the oil
scandals in the early 1920's.
Today's action came after Repre-
sentative Voorhis, Democrat, OF
California told the committee that,
In his belief, the Navy had entered
into an exclusive contract with the
Standard Oil Co. of California under
which he said the Standard Oil Co.
will receive a considerably larger
percentage of the oil in the Elk Hills
field that it should in right and
equity be entitled to-"
Mr.. Voorhis also told the commit
tee that it is my great fear that all
the oil in the field (Which he de-
scribed as larger than any in the
world except one in Arabia) would
have to be virtually eXhausted'' be-
fore Standard can pay back to the
Navy the Government share of the
first fve-year production. He said
the contract provides that Standard
shall receive for the first five years
the entire production and shall then
repay to the Navy its accumulated
share.
The committee has under consid-
Grafton a bill by Chairman Peterson
at the request, ne said, of the In
terror and Navy Departments. 1t
would give the Navy full jurisdiction
over a strip mile wide surrounding
the Elk Hills field and would permit
cancellation of leases in the strip at
the end of their primary terms.
After Mr.. Voorhis' statement, Rep
resentative White, Democrat, of
Idaho offered a resolution which the
committee adopted asking the House
for an appropriation and the right to
subpoena witnesses for a thor
ough investigation and hearing into
the operation Of the Elk Hills field"
