FOREST AND FLOOD
OPINIONS VARYING
Flood Control and Reforest-
alton Big Issus In Cap
ital. However
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumnist

Washington, June 24.-Forests and
floods are every day talk since the
notorious Ohio valley foundations in
1886 beat all records with one excep-
tom during the years that white
men have been keeping tab on natural
phenomena in this country.
The general verdict is that defor-
estation is to blame for such catas-
trophies.
1t sounds simple and sure. Yet a
forestry crank of my acquaintance
reminds me that the late Willis Moore
(for years head of the Weather Blu
reau and always a deep student of
the relationship between forest cover,
rainfall and water conditions) pub
lished an article some time before his
death, in which he quoted all avail
able statistics to prove that, up to his
time, the highest stage On the Ohio

I do not know what counties, if any,
have agreed to try out the plan. How
ever, I think it has merit"
Chairman Guitar Moore, of the
State Alcoholic Beverages Control
Board, said today that this plan had
been presented to several county con-
troll boards by the detective agency
and intimated that one or two coun-
ties were now experimenting with it,
or would start to in the near future.
He declined to say which counties
these were, hofever, or to name the
detective agency
It is genersIiy agreed that if the
various county boards employ their
own detectives or Investigators, that
they will soon become known to the
hootleggers in these counties and thus
make it difficult for them to get evil
dence of bootlegging. Some of the

Land Use.
Conceding that there is an init
mate relationship between forests,
forest utilization, run-off, erosion and
Hoods, Manager Wilson Compton of
the National Lumber Manufacturers
Association, speaking in Cincinnati
recently, reasoned that present con-
dltlons of deforestation in the Ohio
valley and elsewhere do not primarily
present forestry problem but rather
one of land use.
The farmer, he said in effect, can
not flourish where all the land is oc-
cupled by trees. Much land was clear
ed simply to make fields Over large
areas this was a great mistake, now
In process Of correction.
But, seemingly sel-contradictory
Compton asserted that even the for
estry industries are dependent upon
the production, sale and use of forest
products. In other words, we can't
have forests without consuming them.
Beat that, for apparent inconsistency!
Who Will Plant?
Yet who is going to plant trees with
out pay?
And all the flood country is sit
ting up nights studying forest conser-
the maintenance of
forests without depicting them.
Every owner of dairy herd knows
that this is an impossible program.
His herd survives but it's individual
members, at not too rapid a rate, are
sacrificed.
Farm Problem.
Compton, an Ohioan, relates that
more than 95 per cent of his home
state originally was afforested. Today
timber stands on about one-third of
the land within the Ohio basin.
Referring to great tracts of vir-
tually abandoned farm lands in this
region, the lum5ermen's spokesman
points out that, rs years ago, they
they are recorded as part of the farm
problem-not the forest problem.
Idle, semi-productive or sub-mar-
ginal farm lands, instead of idle for
est lands!
The difference is that, for years,
an unsuccessful effort has been made
to farm them. They never, says
Compton were good farm lands; they
haven't contributed much to the adj
vancement of living standards, but
they have contributed literally to
erosion and watershed problems of
the upper Muskingum region.

Helvering did not say at any point
that the tax reducing activities of
those named were in any way illegal.
Instead, he said they took advan-
tage of tax deductions allowed per-
sonal holding companies under the
law, which are not permitted on in
dividual tax returns.
Mellon was described as having two
holding companies. His name was

WASHINGTON, June 4.- President Roosevelt today told a press conference that there had been no change in the governments gold policy. He advised questioners not to worry much about the gold situation. He gave the advice when asked about renewed re- ports of possible changes in government policy.
