SENATOR ACCUSES
. FORESTRY SOCIETY
Charges Association Is Con-
Quoting Campaign OF
Propaganda.

A charge that the American
Forestry Association has conducted a
campaign of ropaGanda throughout
the country in behalf of policies of
the Forestry Service of the AgriCul-
tlre Department was made today by
Chairman Stanfield of the Senate pub
lie lands committee.
The charge was made when Ovid NJ.
Butler. executive secretary of the as
SoCiatfon, appeared before the com
mittee in opposition to the Stanfield
measure to regulate grazing on the
public domain and in national forests.
Asked about the extent TO which
employees of the Government Forestry
Service were connected with the assoc
citation. Mr.. Butler said that w. E.
Greeley, chief of the Forestry Serv-
Ice, was one of its directors, but eX-
ercised no more influence than any
other member of the board
When Mr.. Butler expressed d.sap-
prevail OF the questioning Chairman
Stantield warned him that if ne did
not choose To answer voluntarily he
would be subpoenaed by the commit
tee and placed under oath.
Purpose of Forests.
The national forests. Mr. Butler
said. have been set apart for the
chief purpose Of perpetuating timber
supply ana protecting watersheds. He
added that provisions of the Stantield
measure would replace these princi-
piles and divert forest lands for graz
IN" purposes. The measure. he said,
would make grazing a preferred use
Of the national forests. which is not
IN line with q proper forestry policy
The measure. he charged. would
take from the hands of the Federal
Government the right to administer
the national forests in the best inter
eSts Of the people. He also charged
that the measure would promote
monopoly and speculation in the use
of the forest ranges to the INJURY of
homesteaders, irrigationists and small
users of the forest range. Large in
tereSts would he able to buy control
Of vast areas Of forest lands, he said.
through purchase of grazing permits
from the smaller holders.
Cannot Serve Both Ends.
The national forests" Mr. Butler
said. cannot have both grazing and
timber growing as their primary pur-
poses. If they are to remain forests
In fact, grazing must be Subordinated
to the primary purpose of timber cul-
ture. The utilization of the annual
tend. must be accomplished By the
most careful regulation of grazing as
dictated by the best knowledge of
forest practice. This is a response
bility which the people have placed
upon the Secretary of Agriculture

service. must have at all times com

sort to long. expensive and uncertain

The bill, Mr.. Butler asserted. will
have the effect of reversing the most

FIGHT 0LEAD
SESSIONS ISSUES
Alien Property Bill Also Is Ex-
pected to Bring Sharp Con-
fIict of Parties.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the reConveninG of the Sixty
ninth Congress only four days away,
Indications are rapidly multiplying
that the principal battle of the short
session will rage about the issue of
tax reduction.
Already the battle lines have been
clearly defined. with the Democrats
determined to bring about immediate
revision of the tax law and the Re
publican leaders equally determined
that nothing of the sort shall be done
until the present statute has been
given at least another year of prac-
tcal testing.
At the same time. lines are emerg
ing from the confusion of pre- session
talk which will show that the bill be-
ing drafted by the House ways fand
means committee to dispose of alien
property seized during the war and
adjust American and German claims
will be the center of another vigorous
fight.
Democrats Draft Proposal.
Thus far the Democrats are the
only group that has formally drafted
a tax reduction proposal aimed at the
impending Treasury surplus. Ii was
formulated by Representative Garner
of Texas and other Democratic mem
hers Of the ways and means commit
tee after conferences with Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, ranking
minority member of the Senate finance
committee. and is designed to reduce
the Federal revenus by S350.000, 900 a
year.
The ways and means committee as
a whole hasn't gotten around to the
administration proposal that the
Treasury surplus he returned to the
taxpayers in the form of credits on
income tax returns which are to be
paid in the first two quarters next
wear, having devoted its time TO the
alien property bill. now nearing com
pletion.
Chairman Green. however. and
other Republican leaders have taken
the position that revision of the tax
law is inadvisahle at this time, agree
ing with the administration position
that its actual revenue-reducing ca
pacity cannot he determined until 1t
has heen given further test This
wears surplus. now estimated at $780,
600 900, they hold. is not indicat tive
Of the operation of the law, since it
includes considerable revenue which
will not be received next year. The
Democrats. on the other hand, argue
that the surplus will amount to $780,
600 900 and that immediate tax re-
vision is justified.
Alien Property Bill Included.
Tax legislation, meanwhile. has
found no place in the tentative pro
gram of major legislation which Re
publican leaders hope 70 see enacted.

in their list, and Speaker Ipngworth
