HOUSE UNIT BANS FUND
FOR FOREST SANITATION

The following article reprinted
from the April S. l949 edition of
the Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune
though discussing forest conditions
in another state, has touched on
facts which apply to all the ma
tional forests in the West where
funds are short and needs are many.
The article follows:
Washington, April 4-The house
appropriations committee Monday
refused funds for installation of
sanitary facilities in Wasatch ma
tional forest to protect Salt Lake
City's water supply from contami-
nation
Instead, the committee suggested
the forest service change its meth
DDS, charge a fee of all users of the
recreation areas in Wasatch national
forest and apply the revenues to
whatever facilities are necessary.
What the committee said regard
ing the Wasatch forest applies
equally to the Cache national for
est upon which Ogden draws for
much of its water, members said.
The committee said the alterna-
tive to its suggestion would be to
close down the recreational areas
until some means other than draw
ing on the U. S. treasury, can be
found for providing facilities.
The appropriations committee
recognized that the problem of
sanitary measures to protect mu-
nicipal water supply is not con-
fined to the Utah national forests
and that it should be handled gen.

Hits Forest Permits
Having succeeded in years past
in forcing a substantial increase
in grazing fees in national forests,
the house committee Mond Y
launched on a new line and con-
.demned the forest service for is
suing altogether too many permits
for grazing within national forests
Having full authority to deter
mine the amount of grazing that
may be permitted in any national
forest, the committee said the for
est service had been too generous,
with the result that the range too
often has deteriorated and calls
for much reseeding.
Suggest New Idea
While urging reduction in the
of livestock permitted 10
Craze on forest lands, the commit
tee brought up a new idea, namely
that the forest service, in addition
to the regular grazing fee, charge
additional fees in certain areas
and apply the proceeds to planting
forage and to reseeding generally. |
Members admit this innovation
would require legislation, but think
the users and the forest service
could get together.

'The committee has been impor-

would be a greater disposition TO

about $4,000 for two plates.

During the recent Paris Confer
ence of Communists, Paul Robson,
noted colored singer from the
United States, made the statement
that in case of war between the
United States and Russia, American
negroes will refuse to fight against
the Communist enemy of America.
It is hoped that neither Amer
lean negroes nor American white
boys will ever have to fight against
Russia or any other nation, but
in case war should come between
the two countries, American COM
munistS not loyal to the United /
States should receive summary
handling, regardless of color.
AS for Robson, he sang his way
to fame and financial independence
in this country. and if he does not
like our ways, ne might try NOV
ing to Russia. He would doubtless
have no official American difficult
ties to overcome in making the
change.

Poland joined other Cominform
nations in cutting off trade with

be of great help to the heavily
burdened Greek government, now

Only yesterday the Greek guer-
