While attorneys for the Culnnlngham claimants have threat ened an appeal to the United States Supreme court, such an appeal can be based only on some point of law in volved and not on findings of fact aa announced by the department. The claims, which brought about the Bal-linger-Plnchot investigation by Con gress and the dismissal from .public service of Chief Forester Plnchot and Louis R. Glavis, have been In the public eye constantly for more than two years.

Darlington submits that "there is reasonable cause to charge each of the parties with wil ful defiance of the orders of the court," however.
