FLYING OVER PARKS
TOPIC FOR FARLEY
Conference Will Be Held in
Interior Secretary's Office
Next Month.

/ Whether airplane sightseeing parties
should be permitted to fly over the
national parks of the country and the
proposal to establish airports within
the larger parks for the benefit OF air.
plane touring parties will be discussed
at a conference in the Office of Roy O.
West, Secretary OF the interior,
February 20.
Secretary West today invited to this
conference presidents of railroads, park
TRANSPORTATION concessionaires, heads of
airplane companies and members OF
various outdoor and mountaineering
organizations.
The admission of airplaneS to parks,
Secretary West said. has been under
consideration and has been urged upon
park officials for a number of years.
The conference is expected to result in
the formulation of a definite air policy
for the National Park Service.
Discussion to Be Informal.
at is not the intention to have any
definite or fixed program for this con-
ference" Mr.. West said, "but rather to
afford an opportunity for very IN
formal but intimate discussion OF the
matter and to outline policy which
should be established as to the use OF
airplanes in the national parks"
The problem of airplane sightseeing
was discussed by Secretary West in his
recent annual report, in which he said:
Usually the wilderness character OF
the parks Is one of their strongest ap-
pealS. The policy of the Park Service.
therefore, has been to preserve the
beauties of nature in their original form
but at the same time to make the prin-
cipal points of interest accessible to the
millions who make their pilgrimages
each year. Roads and trails, for ex-
ample are built to fit the scenery and
to mar the landscape as little as pos
sible. Hotels and camps where required
for cafes and housing accommodations,
generally can be made to harmonic
with their surroundings.
Presents New Problem.
"The modern airplane, with its in
creasing use as means of passenger
transportation, now presents a new
problem. Its employment has been
urged upon park officials for number
of years, but as yet no permits have
been issued for landing fields within
park boundaries, and flying over the
parks has been discouraged. Admittance

lation of their use, however, have been

receiving the serious consideration OF
the department.
1T is urged that no encouragement
should be given to the use OF airplanes
as sightseeing conveyanceS, for the
reason that it is impossible to obtain
an accurate conception of the beauties
and wonders of national parks by nying
over them at safe attitudes. Others
aver that only from the air can a view
be obtained of generally inaccessible
and most interesting places. There APP
pears to be no general objection to the
employment of airplanes between air
ports in the parks over routes to be
established by the National Park Ser
vice and regulated by that service. It
seems evident. too, that unless alrports
shall be provided within the parks,
under park supervision, the service can
not expect to control flying over those
areas"
