ent stocks broke into new low ter

The political element figured in the

erted little influence.

BY Usited P,ess,
WASHINGTON, April O. Need for pub

Of the United States from devastation
and to provide for timber production on
lands already laid waste was strongly
urged by Col ". B. Greeley, ehiei Of the
forest service, at the hearings before the
House agricultural committee Of the
Smell Bill.
The bill authorizes and directs the
Secretary Of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the various states or other suitable
ngencies, 20 recommend the requirements
essential for protecting iimbered and
cut-over lands from fire, reforesting de-
nuded lands and cutting and removing
timber. crops so that continuous produc-
iion of timber will be promoted. Co
operation between the federal govern
ment and the states is authorized.
Federal expenditures under co-operaf-
i've agreements with states would, under
the bill, have TO be at least equaled by
stale expenditures derived either IRON
general taxation or from owncrs Of for
est lands. The bill also provides for a
survey of the forest resources and re-
quirements Of the country, for expert
menfs and investigations in reforesiation
and methods Of cutting and utilizing
timber, for enlarged purchases of lands
for federal administration as national
forests. and for various other features

sung the tale. Phillips drama is an ef,
