Los Angeles—(AP)—Edward L.
Doheny and directors of the Pan-
American Petroleum and Transport
company today faced a bill of com-
plaint demanding an accounting of
$10,000,000 which stockholders allege
they lost in the fraudulent lease of
the Elk Hills naval oil reserve.

The complaint, filed in behalf of
Frank H. Kunkel, Cincinnati, and
other shareholders, declared the loss
resulted from the cancellation of the
lease by a decision of the United
States supreme court. after the com-
pany had _ spent” several million
dollars in development of the field.

The lease was negotiated for the
government by Albert F. Fall, then
secretary of the interior.

The $190,000 delivered to Fall by
E. L. Doheny, Jr., in the much dis-
cussed “little black satchel,” was de-
clared in the suit to have been given
by the stockholders and used as a
bribe. An accounting of this ex-
change also is asked.

Kunkel sets forth in the complaint
that neither he nor any of the
plaintiff stockholders had any know!l-
edge of the negotiations and de-
scribes Doheny’s conduct of the deal
as a “fraud not only against the
United States but also against the
l'an-American company and its
stockholders.” Doheny is charged
with dominating the affairs of the
‘company when the lease was signed.
 
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 27. —(%)—
Refreshed after a two-day’s rest
at his honie here, Herbert Hoover
today turned his attentlon to map-
ping out his program for the re-
mainder of the campaign.

* The republican presidential
nomince decided to give first at-
tention to the East, and in order
to inform himself fully as to the
situation there he has invited a
number of friends to call on him at

his new headquarters which are to
be set up here. ‘4

He now has under consideration
a visit to both New York, home
state of his democratic opponent,
and Massachusetts, but his Eastern
itinerary will not be decided upon
until after he has conferred fully
with those in charge of his cam-
paign fn that section,

The repuslican candidate's view
is that he ‘should defer further
specch-making for two weeks or
more and then begin an intensive
drive which would carry him into
the border states and the South as
well.as the Kast. He also proba-
bly will make a trip to Chicago be-
fore beginning his final swing
across the continent at the close
of the campaign.

In working out details of his
itinerary Hoover will seck: advice
of Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of
the republican national committee:
Representative Walter Newton of
Minnesota; who has charge of the

national speakers’ bYerau; Repre-
sentative John Q. Tilson, of Cin-
cinnati, director of the eastern
Speakers’ bureau, and James W
Good, of Iowa, western campaign
