As Forest Guardians

A resolution proposing forest fire
protection training as part of Presi-
dent Roosevelt plan to train a mil
lion youths in abandoned Army
camps was presented to the South
ern States Forest Fire Commission
at a meeting Of its Legislative Com
mittee today in the Statler Hotel.
The proposal Is part of a program
to combat forest fire damage in the
South where the annual loss of
timber amounts to $42,0OO, 900.
Spokesman for the organization
which includes 420 members from l3
Southern States. pointed out the
plan would provide employment for
many veterans and help to rehabili-
tate forests and wild life.
The resolution pointed out that
approximately 100000 additional
forest fire prevention helpers are
needed to assure protection ON a
longtime basis. Ofncials of the Or
ganization said that fire annually
consumes more timber than is used
for pulp and cutting combined.
Officers of the commission said
only 300 out of 900 Southern coun-
ties were now producing timber. and
the forest fires kill of most of the
young trees.
1t was estimated that If forest
fires continue to destroy timber at
the present rate, an acute short
age of lumber for civilian purposes
would be inevitable within 80 wears.

It is beyond understanding" .
Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short
both await court-martial on charges
of derelection of duty.
Says Truth Will Amaze Public.
In his letter made public here by
Charles B. Rugg of Boston, his civil
liam attorney, Admiral Kimmel said
OF Senator Truman's article in the
August 26 issue of Golfers:
Your innuendo that Gen. Short
and were not on speaking terms
is not true. Your statements alleg-
ing failure to cooperate and CO.
ordinate our efforts are equally
false"
The retired naval officer added
that Il ask for nothing more than
an end to uptruthS and half turths
about this matter, until the entire
story is given to our people, who,
am convinced, will be amazed by
the truth"
Senator Truman was not immedi-
ately available for comment.
BY direction of Congress, both the
Army and Navy boards are conduct
ing investigations into circumstances
of the japanese attack
Cites Lack of Defense.
Admiral Kimmel said that Senator
Truman had relied on the Roberts
report and that the report does not
contain basic truths of the catas-
trophe.
This is evident he added, from
the fact that no official action has
ever been taken upon the basis of
that report. '**
Until I am afforded hearing In
open court" Admiral Kimmel de-
clared, 1T is grossly unjust to repeat
false charges against me, when, by
official action, have been positively
denied an opportunity to defend
myself publicly.
Il suggest that until such time as
complete disclosure is made of the
facts about Pearl Harbor, you re-
frain from repeating charges based
on evidence that has never met with
the test of public security"

Forresfal Impressed
By Way Eisenhower
Has United Allies
BY HOWARD COWAN,
AeSorjofad DvAsx rnryw<xSoy1Aanf


GEN. EISENHOWKR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Aug. 21.-Secretary of
the Navy Forrestal came away from
a conference with Gen. Eisenhower
today tremendously impressed"
with the spirit of cooperation which
he said the supreme commander has
fostered among the British and
Americans and their Allies.
What he has done in the way of
resolution between us and the Brit
iSh-and all our Allies-is a great
example for the rest of the world"
Mr.. Forrestal told brief news con-
ference.
The Secretary came here after
watching landings in Southern
France. He left this morning to visit
Cherbourg. In his enthusiastic praise
of Gen. Eisenhower, Mr.. Forrestal
said:
The confidence of both sides in
his fairness has been maintained be-
cause he pursues one idea: The win
ming Of the war. Everything else is
secondary. 1t is a pattern of CO.
operation which could well be con-
tinued after the war. r
Declared Ahead of Schedule.
Gen. Eisenhower hasn't sold out
to the British in any sense of the
word His main theme has been:
What is the one thing we can do
to win the war?'
When he met me this morning he
started talking about the fine job
the Navy was doing. His generosity
of spirit compels cooperation. We
have the same kind of figure in
Admiral Nimitz in the Pacific.
These men just don't think de-
structively-eXcept in terms of Ger
mans and Japs."
The Secretary said the pressure is
on in the Pacific and that the trend
in that theater was comparable to
that In Europe.
Speaking in terms of acceleration
of our own planning" he said, I'VE
are ahead of schedule"
1000 Vessels in New Landing.
Mr.. Forrestal asserted that the
landing craft building program now
was proceeding satisfactorily, but
that I'VE can always use more
LISTS" He observed that the in
vasion of Southern France involved
1000 vessels, exclusive of small land
ing craft carried on some of the
larger ships, and said that was an
apt example of the fact that you
can't win war with air power, but
you can't win one without it,
He cautioned against over-opti-
mism on the Japanese campaign
should Germany collapse suddenly.
Lots of folk get the idea that
some giant can yank our fleet by
the neck, put it on a magic carpet
and set it down in front of the Japs,
who'll take one look at it and say
uncle" he said. Its much more
complicated than that The dis
tance is 10000 miles"

gram. Besides this action, the Re-
quirements Committee, which is con-
trolled largely by military claimants
for materials, actually cut a huge
slice of steel from allotments re-
quested by the ONCE OF Civilian
Requirements for manufacture in
the last three months of the year
of highly essential civilian goods.
Quota Is SIashed.
OCR, it was learned, asked for a
fourth-quarter, allotment of 260, ,00l
tons for must home front pro-
gram. The committee actually gave
them 2l6,000 tons, or 10000 tons
less than in the current quarter
In addition, OCR requested steel to
make numerous necessary items that
recent civilian surveys showed were
unobtainable, such as alarm clocks
The committee agreed to allot 37,5OO
tons supplementary if OCR could
prove manufacture feasible-that
facilities and manpower not needed
for war were available Civilian
officials accused the committee sot
deliberately Understanding prob
able steel production in the fourth
quarter of the year by 100000 tons
Should output continue to the years
end at the current rate, the COM
mittees estimates would fall that
far short. Production normally in
creases when the hot months are
over. If civilian advocates esti-
mates are correct, there would be
ample steel for all programs.
Legislators Critical.
This, his friends say, partially de-
scribes the problem Mr.. Nelson
leaves as he departs for China.
Most Democrats in Congress with
held formal comment on the situa-
ton, but Senator Wherry, Republi-
can, of Nebraska declared:
IF ever there was a time when
we need man of Mr.. Nelson's ex-
perience it is right here on the
home front at this time"
But Chairman Manasco of the
House Expenditures Committee, who
has been directing House considera-
ton Of surplus property legislation
asserted:
Il don't think the shift in Mr.
Nelson's work will have much effect
on reconversion because we have
just about completed arrangements
for this job
Questions Trips Timing.
Senator Wherry told reporters he
thought Mr. Nelson's reconversior
plans might be "stymied" in his
absence, while Senator Ferguson
Republican, of Michigan said:
Il can't imagine why Nelson is
going to China just now when SC
many important decisions remain
to be made at home
Senator Ferguson said he would
ask the Senate War Investigating
Committee, of which he is a mem
Der, to call Mr.. Wilson for question
ing as to bis reconversion ideas.
