address tomorrow night on the Ma

by The Washington Evening Star and
the National Broadcasting Co.
The program is broadcast over q
Nation wide network at 1890 pm.
and is heard locally through Station
WMAL.
Mr.. Ickes' talk will deal with sub
ject that Is regarded as one of the
most important long-range objectives
of the present administration. The
Department of Interior has wide
Jurisdiction over natural resources at
this time and Mr.. Ickes, a firm ad-
herent to the belief they should be
conserved to avoid impoverishing the
Nation in future years, has made a
thorough study of the subject.
There is a proposal before Congress
to change the name of the Depart
ment of Interior to the Department of
Conservation. Should this change be
made, additional activities dealing
with the national resources may be
placed under the Jurisdiction OF the
department.
One of the most interesting recent
proposals for resource conservation
contemplates the establishment OF
seven regional T. v. A.s." The OBJ
