Hodel said the government had

oil into the country’s Strategic
Petroleum Reserve. That
amount is about half of the 750
million barrels U.S. officials
planned to inject into the stor
age facilities.
“When the first oil was deli

were importing 8.5 million bar

LOS ANGELES — Arraign

forgery of a will from Howard
Hughes, the billionaire aviator
and movie maker who died in
1976, was postponed Thursday
because of illness.
Martha Jo Graves, 54, was
arrested Tuesday in Houston
and returned to Los Angeles
Wednesday. She was placed in
the hospital ward of Sybil Brand
Institute for treatment of an un
disclosed medical problem, offi
cials said.
Her arraignment was post
poned until Friday.
Deputy District Attorney
Mitchell Harris said Graves was
the “formulator of the forgery,
producer of the will and signer
of the will.”
Her co-defendant, Harold
Mallet, 52, of Canyon Country,
was scheduled for a preliminary
hearing Dec. 20 on charges of
conspiracy to commit grand
