President Roosevelt asks if Roger S. Baldwin could start a petition that would justify Roosevelt saying that there was a movement in California to have forest rangers made game wardens. Roosevelt would also like to place Yosemite under national control but until there is strong sentiment favoring such a move he fears that his support would only create hostility.
