important victory in their fight to

was learned today.
AS a result Of recent conferences
here n pledge has been obtained
from President Harding that In the
governmental reorganization plan now
under consideration the executive
will not approve OF the transfer of
the forestry bureau from SECRETARY
Wallace's department of agriculture
to Secretary Falls department OF the

ground that under Secretary Falls
policies regarding public lands too
much of the diminishing timber re.
serve Of the country would be
opened for cutting by private inter
ests. Timber land in the country is
now being cut four tmies as fast as
II is being reforested, the conserva-
tionists claim.
The Presidents decision not to sub
leet his reorganization plan to the
determined opposition Of the conser,
vationlsts by providing for the trans
fer OF the forestry bureau to the de-
partment Of the interior involved a
question that has threatened to MAJ
the peace Of his cabinet for yea.
Secretary of Agriculture Walace,
backed by both the conservationists
and leading members of the farm
bloc in congress, was absolutely op-
posed tot he transfer. Fall strongly
favoerd it, and reports have be IN
current here that the interior secre-
tary might resign as the result of he
presidents action. Fall is refusing
to make any comment on the situa-
tion.
The dispute was a revival of the
historic Ballinger-Pinchot controver-
sy eary in Taft's administration
when Theodore Roosevelt broke with
Taft and supported the conservatlor.-
lists.
