representative of the committee, Mr.
Wilson, who is an attorney and

personal opinions as to the alterna
tives suggested by the committee In
Its report for control of the public
domain, but sought only to explain
its conclusions.
"The committee deemed the con
servation of our grazing resources of
far greater monent than the desires
of an Individual or a group of in-
dividuals to contlnuo their uncon-1
trolled use of a free range," he told
the sheepmen. "Reports from every
section of the west substantiated the
conclusion that tho present lock of
control is destructive of those re-
sources. ...
"It is unthinkable that congress,
in possession of all tho facts, will
permit the slow but continuing de-
structlon of that portion of the west-
ern range which is included in the
unappropriated, unreserved public

Defends Press
Against Charge
By Brookhart
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (P) -Senator
Metsalf, Republican, Rhode Is
land, today defended tho press
against barges that it gave "out
landish and unreasonable publicity"
to the "wet" side of prohibition.
Replying to contentions of Sen
ator Brookhart, an Iowa Republican
prohibitionist that the newspapers
had organized some sort of "racket"
against dry organizations because
they had refused or neglected to "buy
FpE.ce," Senator Metcalf confined his
statement to accounts of testimony
before his committee on the bill to
permit four per cent beer.
Metcalf, chairman of the commit
tee, said "the press associations and
correspondents representing news
papers before this committee have
reported these hearings as fairly as
possible but if It Is true that there
Is some sort of news racketeering
going on I want to invite those or
ganize 1 ions who have such evidence
to present it to this committee."
"it should be thoroughly under
stood by both sldeB," he added, "that
the witnesses presented tHus far
have been called by the proponents
of this (beer) bill and that direct
testimony has naturally all been 'in
favor of it.
"It Is therefore obvious that press
reports must largely carry the side
favoring the legalization of beer, at a
later date the opponents of this bill
will be allotted time equal .to that
given the proponents."

tho alleged action of tho lumber com-
pany In transferring Its wholesale
and retail departments and various
unpledged assets to a new Long-Bell
lumber sales corporation, where these
transferred assets became collateral
for various bank obligations.

lumber company. He suggested
