FOREST FIRES
 SIM MOKE HIDES
 M'KINLEY PARK
F fairbanks Avi.a tor Flies Through 500 Miles
 of Dense Pall

Forest fires are raging in the Kantishna district. They are cer- tairily the worst in recent years, and probably the worst since the white settlement of the Territory according to Arthur w. Johnson, manager of the Alaska Airways, who this week in a flight from Fairbanks to Skagway, flew through dense pail of smoke 500 miles in extent. So thick was the smoke, particularly over Mount McKinley National Park, that the plane had to keep close to the ground to re- tain it's bearings.
 Left Fairbanks Monday
 MT. Johnson in the Fairchilds, seven-place airplane Yukon, Pilot G. Ed Young, took off from Fair banks early Monday afternoon. Whitehorse was reached Monday evening and Monday night was spent there. The plane proceeded to Skagway yesterday morning, and was left there, as it is provided with wheels for land landings and not equipped for alighting on wat CT. MT Johnson and MT. Young came to Juneau on the steamship Alaska
 MT. Johnson's visit to this city is to meet Hainer Hinshaw of New York and Washington. D. O, vice president of the American Airways, which owns and operates it's Alas ka division under the name of the Alaska Airways, with it's chief base at Fairbanks.
 Flies From New York
 Mir Johnson has flown in various mail planes from New York to Se- attle. He is expected to arrive here, tomorrow on the Washington Alaska Airways seaplane Wrangell. It is believed he will be the first person to fly from New York to Juneau by ordinary means Of aerial travel
 We could not see sile exact loca- ton of the forest fires in the Kantishna distract" explained MT. Johnson, but 1t must extend over a large area. We flew with diff ficulty through 500 miles of dense smoke. To follow the contour of the ground and to avoid crashing into hills and mountains, we pro- ceeded as slowly as we could and close to the surface of the earth as possible.
 Investigating Conditions
 MT. Hinshaw is the American Airways' Washington, D. C., repre- sentative. The Alaska Airways division has mapped out an ambi- tious program of development, and he is coming north to acquaint him. self with conditions in the Terri tory. He win make, flights to all parts of Alaska giving particular attention to interior sections and to the Nome area"
 MT. Johnson announced that Karl K. Katz, who for number of years has visited Alaska an- nually in the interest of the North .ern Pacific Railroad, has associate ed himself with the Alaska Air ways. He will come north this week and will be stationed at An chorage.

He was asked by a reporter which

piled in French:

TRUST LAW CHANGE
U. S. Chamber Committee
Head Recommends Eco
nomic Council.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Modification of the antitrust laws to
permit sterilization of industry was rec
commended to the Senate Manufactures
Subcommittee today by Henry I. Harri-
man of Boston, chairman of the United
States Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee on Continuity of Business.
Testifying to the Senate committee In
its study Of proposals for a national
economic council, Hartman recon-
mended creation of such a group, but
advised that 1t should be independent
of the Government and operated by
business.
The witness said his committee be-
lieved the present antitrust laws were
adopted when economic conditions were
far different
There is now no balance between
production and buying power" he said.
The result is heart-breaking COMPETE
ton which brings on wage cutting and
general economic diSorganization."
Hartman said contracts should be
permitted between companies to balance
production with consumption, but that
the agreements should first be approved
by some governmental agency.
Such a modification" he said.
would do more to stabilize industry,
prevent wage cuts and put business on
an economical basis than anything
else
His proposal did not contemplate
price fixing, Hartman said, adding that
II agreements led to improper prices,
they could be abrogated by the Govern
ment.
An annual budget Of from $500 900 to
$l,000,000 should be provided the Eco
nomic Council by business, he said,
Gil should be purely advisory in nature,
independent of the Government and
not dependent on Government appro-
priations.
1t should. however, he added, work In
closest cooperation with the Govern
ment and should have the Secretaries
of Commerce and Agriculture on its
advisory body.
