WASHINGTON, May 10 (Special )— 
The report which has been given 
some circulation that adverse action 
has been decided upon in the case of 
proposed purchases of National For- 
ests in the White Mountain region is 
denied by the Director of the United 
States Geological Survey. Senator 
Gallinger and Representatives Hinds, 
Weeks and Peters have all brought 
this matter to the attention of Direc- 
tor Smith, and have received from 
him assurances that the rumor is 
without foundation. 
Director Smith states that the re- 
sponsibility of the United States Ge- 
ological Survey is set forth in Section 
6 of the Act which provides that pre- 
ceding any purchase there must be an 
examination of the land by the Geo- 
logical Survey with a favorable report 
to the Secretary of Agriculture 
“showing that the control of such 
lands will promote or protect the navi- 
gation of streams on whose _ water- 
sheds they lie.” 
Although it has been definitely re- 
ported that the Geological Survey has 
condemned at least two of the New 
England rivers as not being naviga- 
ble streams within the meaning of the 
Weeks Act, it is pointed out by Di- 
rector Smith that such a_ statement 
contains a double error. In the first 
place, the determination. of what are 
navigable streams within the meaning 
of this Act lies with the National For- 
est Reservation Commission, and sec- 
ond, the position taken by the Geo- 
logical Survey is that it is not war- 
ranted in prejudging the case of any 
area and that either a favorable or 
an unfavorable report must be pre- 
ceded by actual field examination to 
determine all the factors in the local 
problem. 
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MUST DETERMINE. 
The Geological Survey is under the 
law the determinative agent whose 
certification is necessary to show that 
the land the purchase of which is 
contemplated, has some material ef- 
fect on stream flow and the protection 
of navigability. It is the position of 
the Survey that in general forest 
cover does promote. and protect

stream flow, but with the multiplicity 
of widely varying factors that enter 
into the problem as presented in each 
different locality the rule can not be 
given universal application. 
While the Geological Survey is in 
possession of a large amount of data 
resulting from its many years of field 
surveys, topographic, geologic, and 
hydrographic, there is no case thus 
far noted in which the officials of the 
Survey regard the material already in| 
hand as sufficient to constitute the 
showing required by the Weeks law. 
Lig-is; however, their ‘purpose to ob- 
tain this needed additional informa- 
tion at once, and field men of the 
Survey are starting this week to ex- 
amine areas in North Carolina and 
‘‘ennessee, and at conferences in 
Secretary Fisher’s office last week, the 
Director of the Survey assured Gov- 
ernor Bass, of New Hampshire, Sen- 
ator Gallinger, and. Representative 
Weeks that examination within the 
White Mountain region would be be- 
gun this spring and “the investigations 
continued through the coming field 
season.
