FOREST FIRE PROTECTION Severe criticism of the government's methods of guard- ing against fires in its national forests is voiced in the current issue of American Forests and Forest Life, pub- lished by the American Forestry Association, by Colonel $00) william B. Greeley, former chief of the U. 8 Forest Service. 4 In order to keep down expenses, he says, the govern- ment buys- annually only one-twentieth of the equip- ment needed to combat fires.

OPPOSING PARDONS \ cased Hobe oor hha el The American Bankers association has protested NOT A FORGOTTEN STAR against granting a pardon to a man who is serving a penitentiary sentence for defrauding banks through forged checks. Influential persons, including a governor, have interceded for the forger, and whether the bankers Prove more influential remains to be seen. This case illustrates the association's policy to protect its members by opposing pardons for forgers and bandits and others who victimize banks and by prosecuting all such offenders.
