Heat Can Be q Blessing
To Stout Hearted Amateurs
By james Rowland

When the Potomac Playhouse
opens its season Monday it will
be enjoying a luxury most of
the audience will consider COM
monplace-heat.
Like all stout-hearted but A.
nancially weak amateurs, the
players could not be choosey
about its base of operations. It
turned out to be an unheated
loft in Temple Hills, Md.
The three-night run of Arthur
Miller's "All My Sons" however,
will be held nightly at $3.50 in
the heated Oxon Hill (Md.) High
School.
"We looked all over the Wash
ington area for a stage and this
is the best we could do" ex-
planned Gene Berger, who is a

during the day.
with the money we hope to
take in this year we plan to pipe
heat into the loft and then get
some free rent" he said. "And
once we get heat we'll add some
300 seats and hold both rehears-
ais and productions there"
Potomac Playhouse, with an
active roster of Is persons, was
organized this summer, mostly
from former members of the
Mount Vernon Players and the
Prince Georges Players. The
latter group has disbanded.

said, "and they can come from

But the Meek act was good in

will be so much the poorer.
An off stage character who kept
looming larger and larger as the

wore out-was the political
speech writer. !. He had done
his duty of getting them into

Now the candidates. regardless
of party, were on their own. :.
Microphones were thrust in
their faces and the ad lib was
their only way back to safety.
And not only the candidates,
but the ringmasters Leonard w.
Hall and Stephen Mitchell. :.
They were haffled men who did
not know what to say. Who
definitely disliked being nagged
to say something. AS the
night wore on, each looked as if
he would like to seize a micro
phone and conk the nearest tele-
vision guy over the head. =. !.
Even Paul Douglas. at one point
threatening to have the law on
election officials. lost his usually
firm control over the mother
tongue-and his own. The
moral: Politicians will never be
safe until they learn to shrug off
at least an occasional micro
phone.

By any standard, however. the
real golden boys and girls of the
scriptless drama were the Amer

By JESSE GREEN

THE TEAPOT ROCK, from which
the dome was named, and the old
fashioned oil derricks in the field
are silent reminders of the story
of the past.
In 1915 the Teapot Dome was set
aside as Naval Reserve No. 8. Re-
serves Nos. 1 and 2 were in the Elk
Hill region of California and were
designated as such in 1912. The Navy
was authorized in 1920 to use, sell,
or lease these oil lands. This deci-
sion had developed out of the belief
that the old policy of conservation
of Roosevelt, Wilson and Taft was
in error, and that these fields were
being drained into other productive
fields. Also, even at that time, there
was a threat of war with Japan;
and some believed we should get the
oil above ground. 1t was all a prob
lem of petroleum engineering, bust
ness judgment and military strategy.
Through manipulation, honest or
otherwise, these petroleum reserves
were transferred in 1921 from the
Navy Department over to the De-
partment of the Interior, under Sec
rotary Fall. Very soon in 1922 oil
leases were sold to Edward L. Do
heny and Harry F. Sinclair. About
that time a wave of prosperity
seemed to hit the ranch property be-
longing to Secretary Fall in New
Mexico. New bulls, an expensive IT.
rigation system and Cadillacs came
from nowhere.
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1954-07-15

During the leasing of the oil re-
serves, Archibald Roosevelt, son of
Theodore, was Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. He raised a question
and furnished evidence that some
thing was wrong. Congress appro-
priated 100000 to investigate. Cool
idge was the Republican President.
Coolidge appointed a prosecutor
from each of the parties. The case
was time consuming, and the first
round ended in 1925 by the acquit-
tai of Secretary Fall and Doheny,
one of the buyers of the oil leases.
1t was contended that Fall had been
paid 500, 900 by Doheny for carrying
out the deal for the leases.
Two more years went by, when,
in 1927, it was proven that Edward
Sinclair had paid Secretary Fall
$3.50, 100 for arranging to turn the
leases over to him. Sinclair was
given a one-year sentence; but be-
cause of ill health Secretary Fall
was not sentenced at that time. In
1929 Fall received his sentence and
was the first member of a presi-
dents cabinet to be convicted of
crime.
More years went by and Secretary
Fall lost his $50, OOO-acre ranch. Aft
er continued ill health, he passed
away in 1914, still contending that
he made a good deal for his govern
ment.
