clean sweep is made of all the officials

aid to L. R. CLAWS in the formulation
of the charges against Secretary of

the eve of Congressional investigation.
In his letter removing the Chief For
ester and his most intimate aids from

and fast friends. PinchOt stands for
one accomplishment of the Roosevelt
administration of the
national reserves.
Roosevelt brought forward this is
sue and stood Pinchot up as its expo
nent under his direction. The Pinchot
methods are the Roosevelt methods,
and it was the refusal OF Secretary
Ballinger to follow the methods of the
past administration which first caused
