SECRETARY FALL
AT ODDS With
SECY WALLACE
Interior Secretary Said to
Have Appealed to Presi-
dent Harding
FOREST RESERVE
Agricultural Department Head Makes
Issue of Proposed Transfer of Forest
Duties.

Washington, March 6.-Open war
fare is cracking in President Hard
ine's Cabinet between Secretary OF
interior Fall and Secretary WALLACE
of the Department of Agriculture; 80
intensive is the battle that President
Harding has been drawn into it, with
an appeal from Mr.. Fall for protection
from what he regards vicious propa-
eanda of the Department OF Agrl-
culture.
Further, reports grow daily more in
sistent that Mr.. Fall may leave the
Cabinet shortly unless he emerges un-
disputed victor in the Cabinet war.
The setting of the battle comprises
100 .OOO.O6O acres Of forest lands IN
the United States and Alaska. Mr;
Fall desires to transfer these WOOD
acres to his own department. lie IS
bitterly opposed by the Department OF
Agriculture, which has reigned over
them since President Roosevelt wrest-
ed them from the Department OF the
Interior.
The American Forestry Association
has issued numerous statements at.
tacking Mr.. Fall for this attempted
transfer. This association sees IN the
transfer the destruction OF all efforts
to conserve the forests and the begln-
ming of exploitation "of lands here ana
in Alaska by private interests"
Secretary Fall has written 4 letter
to a representative whose name has
not been disclosed, ip which ne com
plains of the attacks made against
him. and announced he has. authorized
his assistants in the Department OF
the Interior to place the controversy
before President Harding. r,..#
He says in the letter that he aap-
proved Of bill giving his department
control fthe administration OF for
ests in Alaska by transfer OF the for
ests to the Interior: the administra-
ton of mining laws, the agricultural
entry laws" etc.
AS a result of this attitude, he says,
he was assailed in various statements
issued for the newspapers by the
American Forestry Associations Ed
itorial comment in various newspapers
Ithronghout the country was made that
! the Department OF the Interior was
greal estate body and should have no
control of the forestry problem.
Mr.. Fall singles out Clifford Pinchot
as one of the sponsors Of the attack.
Mr.. Pinchot long has been identified
with the conservation movement. He
states that Mr.. Pinchot accused him
of desiring to turn over the natural re
sources of the country to private en-
ploitation.
President Harding has made no de-
cision in the controversy as vet.
Secretary Wallace refused to COM
ment upon Secretary Falls attack, al
though he said he may make state
ment later.

PLOYMENr
BOOM NOW. ON
CRISISFADINC
Employment Conference Is
Beginning to Show De-
finite Results
SIGNS OF RECOVERY
Public Is Cautioned Not to Relax Ef-
forts as Prosperity Grows Near
Repression Teaches Lesson

Washington, March G.-The en-
ploymcnt boom beginning in March
which the Presidents unemploymnt
conference predicted last October is
definitely on the way, officials declare.
But the time for the nation to rest
upon its oars is still remote, because
the signs Of this recovery arc rather
tendencies than statistics, they con-
tend.
That these facts must be borne in
mind not only until the present un-
employment crisis is passed. but Cor
ever, because future cycles Of dcprcs-
sion are bound to recur, was empha-
sized in exclusive interviews with Col.
Arthur Woods, chairman Of the stand
inc committee on emergency masures,
and Edwin Eyre Hunt, secretary Of
the unemployment conference. and the
newly formed committee on business
cycles.
These two men have been carrying
on the work of the conference since
its adjournment last October-Woods
has concentrated on the present emer-
pencv and Hunt on preparatory steps
to mitigate future crises.
"The past three weeks have brought
visible evidence of recovery" said
Woods. '1ndividual cities throughout
the country have shown marked I'M
nrovcment. But this is no time to re-
lax
"The distress growing out of un-
employment is not going to decrease
in anywhere nearly the same propor-

stated that he could do nothing until

and asked that Wright endeavor to
obtain postponcment, and appear IN
Richmond tomorrow morning with the

GIee Club Concert Friday

Tickets are now on sale for the Glee
Club concert to be held in the West
minister Building, Friday evening,
March 10, and are being disposed of
rapidly, to the great satisfaction Of
the ladies in charge. All of the 63
members of this club will be on hand
for the occasion, and under the excel
lent leadership of their director a
splendid program is anticipated. Mr..
Miller, the director, called up today
to inform US that their violinist, Miss
Elsa /. Raner. is a pupil of Neobold
Auer, who also taught Mischa Elman
and Zimbalist, two of the worlds
greatest violinists. Auer's studio is in
New York City, and Miss Raier goes
to that place for each lesson
1t is hoped that Alexandrians will
not miss the unusual opportunity to
hearing this excellent talent, which is
being given under the auspices of Mrs.
S. Fl. Fields circle Of the Ladies
Auxiliary of the Second Presbyterian
Church of this city.

industry has increased distress. no
doubt, but one can hardly blame Il
man for pcrfccting himself on GER
tain line OF work and try to mold out
when that line is cut Off But the ur-
employed have been willing to do any
thing to tide them over the depression
period"
The recently appointed committee
to study the business cycle, Of which
Hunt is secretary, will, in his opinion,
"lav the constructive basis for the
next period Of depression"
"Undoubtcdly conditions arc I'M
proving" he said. "Thc wave has
passed from the industrial Northeast
and the Atlantic coast farther inland.
But the lessons gained from this
dcprcssion-the greatest since the
civil war, and possibly greater because
it was not anticipated-wil not be
fully appreciated until the next de-
precision. The cycle is usually every
seven or ten years. 1t is to that end
that the business cycle committee,
whose report will be forthcoming IN
the early fall, is now functioning.
THE Unemployment conference
tended to advance a good deal of the
work which would have otherwise been
postponed until spring. And, with
that running start, the job IS now to
prepare for the next emergency. 1t is
necessary through statistics and sci
entific SURVEYS to forewarn the people,
that they may be forearmed."
