ae ANGELES, Cal.—(4)—Ed ward
L. Doheny and directors of the
Pan-American Petroleum and Trans-
port company Tuesday faced a bill of
complaint 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 dol-
lars in the development of the field.

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

The $100,000 delivered to Fall by
I. L. Doheny. Jr... in the much dis-
cussed ‘‘little black satchel,”’ was de-
clare in the suit to have been given
by the stockholders and used as a
bribe. An accounting of the exchange
also is asked.

Kunkel sets forth in the complaint
that neither he nor any of the plain-
tiff stockholders had knowledge of
the negotiations and describes Do-
heny’s conduct of the deal as a
“frand not only against the United
States but also against the Pan-
American company and {ts stockhold-
ers.”

Doheny fis charged with dominating
the affairs of the company when the
lease was signed.

 
 
WASHINGTON ‘UPI) — President
Nixon and Soviet leader Leonid I.
Brezhnev, already planning another sum-

‘mit meeting next vear, formally pledged
today to avoid military confrontations and
threats of force that might trigger nuclear
war

The vows were contained in a policy
declaration which also said the leaders of
the two superpowers would “immediately
enter into urgent consultations with each
other’ if a nuclear conflict threatened.

Shortly before Nixon and Brezhnev
signed the agreement in the East Room of
the White House, Treasury Secretary
George P. Shultz and Soviet Trade
Minister Nikolai S. Patolichev met across
Pennsylvania Avenue in Blair House to
initial another pact intended to
commerce between the United States and
the Soviet Union. About 50 captains of
American industry were present at the
signing.

The two latest accords brought to eight
the number reached since the start of the
summit talks Monday. They were signed a
few hours before Nixon and Brezhnev were
io depart aboard the President's jetliner
 for San Clemente, Calif.. where they
planned to conclude their conferences over
the weekend.

The decision by the two leaders to hold a
third summit meeting in as many years
was announced Thursday night at a lavish
banquet in the Soviet Embassy.

Their promises to meet again in Moscow
next year were accompanied by cham-
pagne toasts. The jovial atmosphere
reflected the signing earlier in the day of
pacts intended to accelerate negotiations
to limit and reduce offensive nuclear
weapons and exchange research on
peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

Today's promises to refrain from
military confrontations went into effect
immediately upon signing of the policy
declaration about 12:30 p.m. EDT.

In the agreement, the two leaders
promised that the United States and the
Soviet Union “will act in such a manner as
to prevent the development of situations
capable of causing a dangerous
exacerbation of their relations, as to avoid
military confrontations, and to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war between them.”
