WASHINGTON, Not. 20. (AP) The government took , steps today seeking another con viction on the notoriousnaval oil reTerve lease cases, re questing through special pros ecutori Owen J. Kob- j - erts and -Allee Comerene, that Edward L. Do hamy be brought to trial Janu- ary 13 on his bribery indict ment. . Inability of opposing coun sel to agree on the date of trial for the California oil magnate caused the prosecut ors to ask the District of Colum bia supreme court to make a de cision on the time. Frank J. Ho gan.vconnsel for DoBeny, said his time, would be taken by ciTjl liti gation In other oil cases and he would not be ready for trial un--M March. The Indictment charges Doheny with haying given Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, a 1100,000 bribe for leasing the Elk Hills, California, naval pe troleum reserve to one of Do heny's companies. . Fall's appeal from that conviction is pending in the District of Columbia court of appeals and the Doheny counsel who helped defend the former Interior secretary have contend ed that the. issues, raised in Fall's appeal should be decided before Doheny is tried.

Men who are In jail la Hen of paying fines as sessed, may be put io work with out that formality. The proposal, made by Alder man S. E.

Attempts made ta the past to work the pri soners on the streets hare proven unsuccessful, but It was believed that at a definite location like the incinerator, they could be guard ed adequately without too many officers being assigned to guards.
