The testimony was given by Senator Downey (D. -Calif.) who opposed $16,000,000 cut in fire fighting appropriation for the forestry service.

"The bud get allowed $5,000,000 and the house cut that to $2,000,000, and I think that they made a very grevious mistake, not knowing the facts." The committee also made pub lic a statement by Senator Clark (D.-Idaho), who said: "The enemy no doubt has carefully laid plans to cause widespread damage and con fusion by setting the forests on ire.
