RENDERS FINAL REPORT
WASHINGTON. June 6- Flagrant disregard of law in the negotia
tions of the Sinclair and Doheny oil leases was charged in a report to
the Senate today for the oil committee, prepared by its prosecutor. Sen
ator Walsh of Montana. The Report charges that the Executive Order
by which President Harding transferred the oil reserves from the Navy
Depatrment to the interior Department are considered to have
been illegal. The manner in which the leases were negotiated by for
mer Secretary Fall was described as in disregard of statutes, and Fall’s
acceptance of $1^0,000 from Doheny was described as in the last degree
reprehensible. Former Secretary Denby and Assistant Secretary Roose
v«lt of the Navy Department were exonerated from any part of the nego

the exploitation of public resources.
