There is a growing realization here
that the so-called uniform Federal
Grazing Land Act deals with ma
tional problem, instead of one local
lied in the IA states listed in H. R.
1923.
This is illustrated in the pages of
the Congressional Record and in the
long list of organizations and individ-
uals who appeared at a hearing in
opposition to the bill favored by the
big stockmen and the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
When the bill was introduced, the
impression was that it was the sole
concern of the IA states mentioned
Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon. South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyo-
ming.
With closer study by some of our
eastern friends came the realiza-
ton that the most important use
of our National Forest land is for
watersheds; that two-thirds of the
inhabitants of this country are af-
fected by proper watershed con-
troll of the Continental Divide, the
backbone of the states covered by
this bill.
Congressional Vera Buchanan,
representing metropolitan district
in Pennsylvania, inserted into the
Record an editorial denouncing the
bill to give few thousand sheep and
cattlemen permanent grazing rights
in the National Forests"
The editorial pointed out chat the
bill would allow sale of these rights
and that this would then be the situa-
ton: "The National Forests, which
have been owned by all American peo-
pie and used for their benefit, will
be in the hands of few corporation
monopolists. To make the biggest and
quickest profits, they would over
Craze the forest lands and lay them
bare to erosion and destruction. The
present and future generations would
be robbed of timber and natural re-
sources.

tan district in Connecticut said of
the bill: "Not since the days of
President Theodore Roosevelt has
there been such a concerted effort

tional wealth and turn it over to pri-
vate, profit-seeking hands"
He inserted into the Record an edi-
torial from the HARTFORD Comm
TIMES an analysis of the bill by Mr..
Robert P. Butler, former U. S. Dis
trict Attorney for Connecticut. The
editorial warned that if the bill should
pass it would Cripple the national
conservation movement, close thou
sands of acres to the owners of small
herds, shut out thousands of hunters,
fishermen and campers, pave the way
for exploitation by big-scale lumber,
mining and grazing interests"
Butler said the "only persistent
opposition" to the conservation pro-
gram started by President Theodore
Roosevelt has come from a group
that represents but handful of
the population as compared to the
lumbermen and small cattle and sheep
growers, farmers, and cities and of
the entire mountain region which de-
pend upon the water supplies sus-
tanned by the conservative admins
tration of the highwater yielding
areas"
Other national organizations were
quick to note that this bill would
raise grazing, a secondary use of Ma
tional Forest land, to position
above other uses of far greater i'm
portance-among them recreation.
These included the Izaak Walton
League; International Association of
Game; Fish and Conservation Com
missioners; the Wildlife Management
Institute; American Forestry Associ-
alton; Congress of Industrial Organi-
cations; American Federation of La
Dor; National Parks Association; Will
derness Society; the National Assoc
iation of Soil Conservation Districts
and the Secretary of Interior.
William Voigt, Jr., Executive Di-
rector of the Izaak Walton League,
told House Subcommittee the bill
''is so bad, so indefensible in terms of
the national wellbeing, that it de-
serves the quickest possible death you
can give it"
Ira N. Gabrielson, President of the
Wildlife Management Institute, said
the objective of the proponents of H.
R. 1923 SIS to destroy effective con-
troll of grazing regardless of this add
verse effect upon other important in
terests. To the extent that those peo-
pie achieve their detectives, the 9TH
er important uses of these lands, in
Guiding watershed protection, will be
curtailed. The eventual effect, if they
succeed, could be serious blow to the
economy of the western states
Practically every community in the
western states derives its water sup
plies from watersheds protected by
National Forests. The continued pros
perity, growth, and even the sur
vival of cities, industries, and agri-
cultural communities depend upon a
continuous flow of water from the
hills and mountains above them"

of Interior, Douglas Mckay said he
would not seek to serve the West
alone, but would work for the bene-
fit of the entire United States. Inter

Congress stands on the rural tele-
phone loan program.
An overwhelming majority of the
lawmakers have made it very clear
that they want this vital agriculture
project continued regardless of what
views the new Administration may
have on the issue So far there has
been no definite indication of the
White Houses stand on the matter.
The Senate emphatically proclaim
ed its position by voting an additional
$15,000,000 for rural telephones be-
fore Budget Director Joseph Dodge
could pass on the telephone appropri-
alton as he had been asked to do by
the White House. Dodge, who is busy
slashing the Federal budget, appar-
emily intended to axe the RITA fund
But he never got the chance. Con-
gress voted the money before he
could do anything.
This whirlwind coup was spanked
by bipartisan spearhead consisting
of Senators Lister Hill, (Ala.) and
Milton Young IN. d. They took the
initiative after getting inside word
that Dodge was secretly cunning for
the phone appropriation.
INTERIM FUNDS VOTED
The additional SIS, 100000 is ur-
gently needed to keep the program
rolling until Congress acts on the
regular budget that becomes effect
i've July l. Rural phone funds were
exhausted in February.
The battle for this urgently need
ed money began in the Senate APP
preparations Subcommittee for Agri-
culture.
At Senator Hills suggestion, Chair
man Young summoned REA Admins
traitor Claude Wickard to explain the
critical situation facing the phone pro-
gram.

the opening of this hearing" de-
clared Young, because | have re-

The reason for asking you REA
people to appear here, although this
appropriation has not been approx
ed by the Budget Bureau, is to
save time and let everybody know
how Congress feel about this mat
ter"
This problem is very simple"
said Wickard. "On one hand we
have a rapidly developing demand
for telephone loans and on the 9th
er we don't have the money to take
care of these new applications. We
are requesting 100000 to keep
the program going"

argument of duplication.
