PORTO MAURIzIO. Italy. April IL
clifford Pinchot. former chief forester Of
the United States. arrived Unexpectedly
In Porto, MauriziO at midnight. and
after a few hours sleep at the Palace
Hotel, went early this morning to the
villa OF Miss Carew. where he was given
an enthusiastic greeting BY Colonel
Roosevelt
Hello, GifordI Well. this is fine!
shouted the colonel, who had not ex-
pscted 70 see PinchOt until much later
IN the day
''Eelio. Teddy" responded Pinchot,
whi.e the men were stiH several PAGES
apart And then they cIasped like long
lost brothers It vas almost a case Of
falling into each others arms.
StroIed Two Hours
Pinchot was hustled inside the house,
and the two reappeared IN a few min
utes and departed on a walking trip 20
the mountains Their stroll lasted two
hours. and II the same eagerness that
marked their conservation at the start
Of ne walk was maintained throughout,
The situation was pretty thoroughly COW
cred.
To the corree0ondents' questions, fred
after he pair returned 70 the villa, there
was an announcement OF ''nothlng 10
give out"
II is fair u assume, however, that
PinchOt made a full report TO the eI-
President Of what he believes 10 be
Secretary Ballinger's attempt TO undo
ROOsevelL's conservation policy and that
the insuTgenL move that has developed
IN the Republican ranks under President
Tsft's Administration furnished fruit
