of such rights. These dealers almost
invariably strip the land of all timber
destroying it for all forestry purposes
for many years to come.
FDR, this column is informed, re-
Gently spoke to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard about it. II feel that
need, and | am able to get, technical
advice on timber cutting and forestry
practices for my land at Hyde Park, y
the President said. But how about
the farmer? | know that he is not
getting this advice. Something should
be done about it. FDR also men
toned reports he had received of
promiscuous timber cutting. The
Presidents forestry advisor for Hyde
Park for years has been Nelson c..
Brown, head of the forestry school at
Syracuse.
The result was that Wickard called
in his forestry experts, and some pro-
grams are being prepared to present
to the President.
Several of the state agricultural
department of agriculture to supply
the farmers with technical forestry
advice, including evaluation of the fl
nancial value of their timber, instruc-
ton in woodland management, and aid
in setting up of timber marketing or
CARNATIONS There has been very
limited response to these requests
too limited to serve any real purpose
due, it is said, to lack of funds.
There is no doubt that the Forest
Service hasn't been functioning with
the vigor, vision, and foresight that
it did before the death nearly two
years ago of the forestry chief, F. A.
Silcox. No successor to Silcox has
as yet been named. Some say 1t is
because the President is unable to
find anybody to fill the shoes of the
deceased forestry chief. Others be-
lieve that the President is furnishing
the Service because of its opposition
to his reorganization plan, under
which the Service was to have been
transferred from the department of
agriculture to the department of in
terror. Whatever the truth is, the
Forest Service has thus far failed
to formulate and force through pro-
gram to meet conditions that have
arisen from the national emergency.
Hearst Radio Policy
The federal communications COM
which is holding hearings to
determine whether control of radio
stations by large news
papers and newspaper chains" is in
the public interest, last week found
out a few things on what William
Hearst believes to be the
true function of radio station. But
they found it out, not by questioning
THE Chief" himself, but from Hearst
inter-office communications intro
duced into the record.
Hearst started out, not to compete |
with the radio stations, but rather to |
control them. On Dec. IS, 1881, j.
V. Connolly, general manager OF |
Hearst's King Features Syndicate, |
wrote to Emile j. Cough, of Hearst's |
San Francisco Examiner, MIR. Hearst
has written to me with regard to his
'irm conviction that his newspapers
should use the radio for exploitation.
You have shown the radio editors how
NOT to give a news report over the
tir that would make it unnecessary
or the listener to buy newspaper"
A few years later-April 20, 1888
Jonnally wires the following instruc-
ions to E. j. Cough, director of
Hearst Radio Service: ut will be
eft to editors to decide how much
Jews should be told to induce listen
rs to buy papers. However, broad
asting should be handled so it does
lot harm newspapers in service area
# station which also use our (Hearst)
ervice."
