N|p.AND-TUN BATTLE RACES, CONTROL
 OFU.S. FOREST SERVICE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, March '. = One of the keenest dramas of these recent years has been fought out between the Senate, the White House and the Interior Department with the result that transfer Of the Forest Service to the Interior Department has been prevented for the time at least.
 It began two years ago when the first blanket Reorganization Bill came to Congress from the White House. Immediately vest ern stockmen, farmers, chambers of commerce and others were in 8 panic. At last, they suspected, the Forest Service would be snatched from the Agriculture Department and given to Interior. Fighting such a change has become almost a religion to the rugged West where the Forest Service is re- garded as the one unSmirched member of the governmental fam fly.
 Backed by demands of stock men and others from his home state, Senator Pittman of Nevada introduced an amendment to pre- vent transfer to the Interior. He knew Secretary Ickes one of Pitt mans finest enemies, would break his foot to get the Forest Service. It was a touch and go situation with the Administration. If the forestry amendment should go through, it might open the way for a flock of other amendments preventing other consultations. Passage of Pittmans amendment seemed certain.
 Senator Byrnes of South Caro- lima, in charge of the bill, went hastily into action He virtually promised Senator Pittman that the Forest Service would be let alone. Senator Barkley of Ken lucky, the majority leader and normal senatorial spokesman for the White House, was even more emphatic.
 T am not in favor of transfer ring the Forest Service" Barkley said, "and I have not the slightest fear it is going to be transferred. THE PRESIDENT ASSURES
 The assurance satisfied several likely supporters of the Pittman amendment, including several mem- bers from western forest states, who then voted against it. The amendment was defeated Ulti- mately the whole Reorganization Bill was lost.
 But, last spring. up came the substitute Reorganization Bill, with Byrnes again in charge. The bill did not mention the Forest Sery- ice but in his letter of transmits lsion the President said that sub ject would be dealt with later. byTIltS dSkcu f-lLIllldll II h6ohi AAC intended to submit his amend ment, and was firmly assured by the Nevadan that he would unless he received written assurance that the Forest Service would not be touched.
 Byrnes telephoned the White House and the President tele- phoned Pittman with assurances for the Forest Service. But after ward Pittman reminded Byrnes that he wanted something in writ ing because. he said, he some day might have to explain why he did , not offer the amendment. That same day the President wrote Pittman saying:

CELERY ROOT SALAD.
Other names for celery root are
celeriac, or knob celery. Many peo-
pie like to use it raw in a salad,
peeled, thinly sliced, and served with
a dressing of vinegar and black
pepper. However, have always
found it to be more delicate in
flavor after cooking, so I recon-
mend making the salad as follows:
Cut away leaves and root f1bers,
wash root itself and peel. Slice thin.
Cook in salted, boiling water until
tender-about 80 minutes. Drain
well, drying slices with towels. Set
to chill When ready to serve, ar

Furs Tempts Local
Ladies This Week
BY HELEN VOGT

Several hundred reasons why
fathers charge account will look
like the national debt are on dis
play at Woodward & Lothrops this
week. In the fur salon an eXhibi-
ton of priceless pelts is holding
forth, giving an excellent idea of
what is being featured in the luxury
class this season.
Mink coats, conservatively made
as BELTS furs of this price range,
are Skillfully designed with small
collars and straight bell or balloon
sleeves. Russian broadtail, the al
ways classic woman's choice, is
made with double lapels to give a
high-fastened look. Sable jackets
are selling well, and fur Scarfs Of
small skins are preferred to the
more bulky types this year.
Really high-fashion furs include
leopard, extremely striking in a full
length cape lined with hpstick red
wool; Russian lynx capes with fat
round muffs and full length capes
of Matara seal and white caracul
All muffs and capes are important
in the fashion picture, and the
former may range from elbow
length to hem-line types.
Evening types include the ex-
quisite full-length white fox coats
as well as those of blue and silver
fox. Extremely chic is the deer
shawl of white ermine edged ir
fringe about 6 inches in depth.
All the furs on display are ex-
traordinarily luxurious, or perhaps
the word is luscious. At any rate
the collection is something to see
provided your sales resistance is ir
! good working order.
