CONTROL OF FORESTS
WILL BE FEATURED
Sharp Division Of Opinion Likely
to Be Expressed at Convention
of National Association.

Vigorous debate on the question Of
continuing Government control Of for
ests will characterize the thirty-first
annual session of the American Forestry
Association. The convention begins
Thursday at I p. m, at the Willard.
The American Forestry Association is
strongly in favor OF continuing Federal
control of the national forests, but
speakers against this policy are likely
to be heard and, inasmuch as a sharp
division of opinion on the question is
almost certain to be manifest in Con-
gress this winter, the debate before the
convention will have more than passing
interest.
1t is said that a determined effort
will be made at the present session of
Congress to enact a bill taking the
forests away from the Government and
giving them to the states. Certain men,
bers of the American Forestry Associa-
ton are ready to denounce this as the
scheme of private interests aided and
abetted by certain Congressman.
The list of speakers at the convention
includes some of the best known names
on conservation subjects. Among the
speakers will be Secretary Of the IN
terror Fisher, former Chief Forester
Clifford Pinchot, Charles Lathrop Pack.
president Of the National Conservation
Association; Chief Forester Henry s.
Graves. and DIR. Henry s. Drinker, of
Leigh University.
Delegates from each state are expect
ed to be present.

He showed that Haydn learned from
Mozart a rounder phrase, and a richer

from Haydn a wider range of structure.

ceived by Governor SulZer, who de-
