Ballin prepares case for congressional inquiry on Ballinger Pinchot
Interior department officials under Secretary Ballin plan to introduce evidence to a congressional probe into the Ballinger Pinchot controversy. They will examine secretary and subordinates actions in public land law administration and probe forestry service affairs. A charge may claim Pinchot overstepped by including 17 000 acres of grazing land within a forest reserve and not burned or valued as forest land. A joint resolution for the inquiry will be introduced in both houses likely next Wednesday.
