COMMENT
. By the Associated Press
Newspaper editorial comment on
the Washington- bonus army evacua
tion follows:
New York Times "x x x now that
the latest spirit of insolent lawless
ness has manifested Itself in overt
acts, the country should demand that
the whole affair be thoroughly
cleaned up, the veterans dispersed as
speedily as may be and Americans be
no longer called upon to witness an
insubordinate body of men asserting
at the national capital that they are
above the people as a whole and more
powerful than the government Itself."
New York Herald-Tribune "x x x
whether these men are really commu
nists or not Is immaterial; they are
agitators, and their assault upon the
police who bore the attack with
courage and restraint was bitterly
unjustified."
Cleveland nam Dealer "Tne oo-
vlous duty of the authorities at
Washington Is, to maintain order at
whatever cost, rne capitoi cannot
surrender to the B. E. P. or to any
other group insisting on rights that

REVERSAL IN
MONEY FLOW
FAVORS US. A.
NEW YORK, July 20 VP) The sud
den reversal in flow of international
capital, which is now veering back
to this country, is attributed largely
by Wall street bankers to revival of
the belief that when business recov
ery appears the United States will
lead the way.
Around the middle of June the
heavy outflow of capital began to
slacken. In July when It became
clear that European central banks
had drawn down virtually all of their
gold balances which had been placed
in this country, there was a change In
trend. In the present week, the
change of tide has reached Its sharp
est proportions, fairly sizeable shift
ing of foreign balances to New York
having developed.

FOREST SEASON
IS COSTING LESS
Protection Expenses Show
Decrease, of $41,755
in Oregon So Far.
SALEM.' July 29 UP) Expenditure
for forest protection in Oregon-on
lands coming under the Juried lotion
of the state forestry department the
past six months were a third less
than xor tne first six months or ibsi,
Lynn F. cronemilles, state forester,
announced.
The expenditures include all those
made by various associations of the
state aa.well as those made directly
out of the forester's office. Total for
the first six months this year was
87,722 as against $127,478 a year
A contributing factor in the re-
aucea expeupiiure nas neen ine ravor-
aoie lire season, vroneminer . said
However,' a reduction In salaries and
tho cost of auppllea and equipment
also has contributed its share. Fires
started at the time of the serious
windstorm of April 22 and continued
throughout the season. This made It
necessary to immediately place the
full personnel In the field.
flMimn Vnvnmhln
"Bo far the 1932 season has been
the most favorable the patrol
conizations have experienced in
number of years," Cronemiller said.
"Continued rains and cloudy weather
during tho flt six months contrib
uted to a material lessoning of the
hazard, making It unnecessary to
place the full organization In the
field.
"At presont conditions In the state
are gonerally fair although th6 haz
ard is becoming greater each day.
This Is especially true of the Eastern
and Southern Oregon sections. Ex
posed south slopes have dried out
and grass has become distinct men
ace, Numerous fires already have been
reported but they have been held' to
a very email acreage and little dam-,
age has resulted."
Appropriation Reduced
The state forester's office also has
been advised by the U. 8. forest serv
ice that the federal Clarke-McNary
allotment to the state for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1038, Is $91,468.
Tills Is a reduction of $0004 under
that received for the previous year. .
These funds represent tho federal
government's recognition of Its fi
nancial responsibility In the protec
tion of private and state owned forest
lands from fire. The allotment to
the state is based upon the total ex
penditures for the previous year. Only
two other states received a greater,
sharo than Oregon, these being Cali
fornia and Michigan.
These funds are alottcd to the vari
ous protective organizations of the
state and aro used In the regular work

ALBANY, N. Y.. July 29 -
Jamea J. Walker's denial of official
dishonesty or corruption as mayor of
New York City was being studied to
day by Governor Franklin D. Boose-
veil.
His renlv to Samuel Beabury'a com
plaint that he was unfit to remain In

yesterday. In 27,000 words he set
forth his reasons for contending that
Beabury and others who sought his
removal were wrong in believing that
ne had used his office for personal
gain.
Since the day of my birth." Walk-
assured Governor Roosevelt, "I
have lived my life in the open. What
ever short-comlnga I have are known
to everyon out disloyalty to my
native city, omciai cm none ty or cor

Governor Roosevelt had nothing fc

He may remove Walker or exonerate

Receipt of the Walker reply meant
a major obstacle which had been de
laying the Roosevelt presidential cam
paign was about to be cleared. Walk

ly affront to the strong Tammany or

the managers fear, ' might be Inter
preted in the west and south, as yield

Roosevelt, insisting that the Impar
