Although the Pinchot-B -Ballinger affair has practically disappeared from public view it is still live issue at Washington, as we are told by the Star of that city, which is generally very correct in its department news.
 It is stated with positiveness that thus far the course of Secre- tary Ballinger has been in con- iormity with the views of the Pres ident and with opinions of the Att torney General of the United States. In this view of the case it is claimed that it may be de- volvent upon MT. Pinchot to make a pretty stiff showing of facts to substantiate the back-hre which he has started upon the Ad- ministration of which he is mem- Der. And the Star adds:
 "One phase of the situation is attracting the attention of the of- ficials in this city and may result in official action, 1t IS said. At tention has been called to the fact that there is emanating very pronounced campaign of press publicity, of a character entirely ex parte in MT. Pinchot's favor.
 It was hinted today that such state of affairs is being regarded as subversive of all the ethics of official life and tending to shatter official discipline. An inquiry into the source of the publicity cam paign is being conducted now. The spectacle of one branch of the government service publicly attacking another will not be tol- erated, it is said, and there are suggestions of a strong intima- ton from Beverly to that effect. !"
