 MONOPOLY OF AIR SYSTEMS

LOS ANGELES, July 15.-Oswald Ryan, member of the Civil Aero nautics Authority, told the Chamber of Commerce directors here the authority will halt any efforts to create a monopoly in air transpor- tation.
 Ryan said friends of American aviation had expressed concern over "rumored plans of important inter- ests to acquire monopolistic control of air transportation through merg- CTS and consultations and the ac- quisition of certificates for new air routes.
 "The authority will not give its approval" he declared, Ito any pro- posed consolidation, merger or ac- quisition of control which would re- suit in creating monopoly or in restraining competition, to the in- jury of another air carrier nor a party to the transaction"

Arctic Bound Pandora Here
 With (atIlei,
38-foot Graft and Six Per sons Are Heading for
 Northwest Passage

The 38-foot diesel powered boat Pandora arrived in Juneau this fore noon, h. q e for a Vest to-E East crossing through the ice floOeS of the Northwest Passage, evangelist skipper Dr. Homer Kellems at the wheel with a crew of five crowding the cabin behind him.
 Loaded with three tons of food thousands of souvenir cachets, and the nondescript paraphernalia CO., incident to an Arctic expedition and proposed circumnavigation of the North American continent, the Pan- dora presented a gross appearance as it moored to Femmer's Float with the waters of Gastineau Chan nel tapping four inches above the vessels normal waterline.
 Dr. KeIlems confessed the boat looked more like a houseboat than an Arctic cruise ship, and explained that the cabin had been widened to the gunwales and the pilot house heightened seven feet to make il possible for the voyagers to live 'in- side, out of the weather"
 With Dr. Kellems is his 21-year- old daughter Vivienne, an art stu dent at the University of Oklahoma who is official artist for the expe- dition and cook.
 The remainder of the complement is made up of another evangelist from the Christian Church, Cecil I. Brooks, from Oklahoma City: Ira Jones. engineer from Siloam Springs Arkansas; A. r. Owens. photograph CT from the Oklahoman and Times, and radio operator Leo Clark from Barteslylle, Oklahoma.
 With new 150 horsepower high speed diesel engine, and fuel tanks for 750 gallons, Dr Kellems esti- mates the Pandora's cruising range at 2,000 miles, but explained that at Point Barrow, extra fuel oil, to be brought north on the cutter Spen- cer, will augment the vessels fuel supply by 1,250 gallons, giving the craft an estimated 5000 mile cruis- ing range.
 The party expected to remain in Juneau only until this evening checking the compass and engine, and mailig 2500 cachets (souvenir letters for collectors), before getting away directly for Seward. nonstop. Dr. Kellems said they hoped to make the Northwest Passage this summer and go on down the East Coast and through the Panama Canal, back to Seattle.
 And if they don't get through the passage, they'll spend the winter if they can't fly out
 There are lots of things worse than eating seal liver" pr. Kellems ayerred.

ORIENTAL LABOR IN ALASKA SALMON INDUSTRY MUST GO, DECLARES PIONEER; PLANTS ARE NOW FACING SUSPENSION

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, July l5.- J. R. Heckman, pioneer of Alaska, former early day member of the Territorial Senate, former Terri torial Fish Commissioner and in- ventor of the floating fish trap, busi- ness man and banker of Ketchikan, said:
 "It is up to the Salmon Industry to clean house. If the industry doesn't do it, the people of the Ter ritory must.
 When Oriental labor is gone, picket lines and labor troubles will also disappear"
 Hickman was for many years Superintendent of the A a a Packers Association cannery at Loring, near Ketchikan, but is not now active in canneries.
 Change Needed Now
 Heckman further said: Times change and people change. Out worn systems must be overthroWn and discarded. Oriental cannery la bor was right 50 years ago. Now, with larger local population, both native and whites, with modern plants and with labor unions con- trolled outside of the Territory and labor racketeers seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of the Territory, a change is called for.
 "Cannery work nowadays is white mans work and draws white mans pay. Local residents, both white and native, are competent and reliable. If they are not here in sufficient numbers, young men from colleges would be glad to spend their vaca- tions in Alaska, earning good wages"
 Picket Lines Formed
 The statement of Hickman came as the CIO Cannery Workers Union threw picket lines yesterday around all Ketchikan canneries and one cannery, the Beegle Packing Com pany, one of the largest here, an- nounced plans to close for the sea- son.
 Many Filipinos belong to the CIO local here which is affiliated with the locals in Seattle and elsewhere, having large Filipino member ship.
 Conrad Espe, International Vice. President of the CIO Cannery Work CTS and Agricultural Workers Un- ion, here from Seattle, denied that the present picketing is dispute of jurisdiction and he also denied the Salmon Industrys statements that picketing is to force employ ment of more help from the outside at the expense of local workers.
 Espe said: "The Cannery Workers Unions from Portland and Seattle have agreed with resident unions not to increase quotas"

HISTORIC FRAUDS OF 1920'S' REVIVED WITH GIGANTIC SUM. FOR LENDING REQUESTED NOW
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July 15. = The list of loans made to Latin Ameri- can countries in that historic fraud of the 1920's," as President Roose- welt called it, reads just like PWA announcement of the 193GS.
 The historic fraud was the pe- riod when American bankers with floods of fresh cash in their jeans began pouring loans southward. It was grand business then, and per- haps to some bankers looked like gilt-edged stuff at least for a time. Prosperity had hit South America just as handsomely as it had hit the United States.
 The large banks lent the money south and then floated considerable quantities of bonds out among the people through the country banks. Some bonds were high pressured" out but we remember distinctly at least one moderate investor who was grabbing every Chilean bond he could get his hands on because the interest was six to eight per- cent. That was good money to sleep on during ones declining years.
 Of course the story is old now. Except for Argentina, all the coun- tries to the south which borrowed have defaulted on their notes. Cuba has largely revived her stock and likely others will try from time to time, especially if they have to make a good showing to get any of the $5OO,OO0,000 which President Roosevelt proposed to make avail- able under the new lending-s -spend- ing bill.

Autopsy Report of H e art Disease May Cancel
 MdnsIdughfer

An autopsy report that Fred George, 39, died of heart disease and not of head injury or broken neck as had been supposed former ly changed the complexion of the Yakutat foul play" investigation today.
 The body of George, a Yakutat native fisherman, was brought here by plane last night after coro- ner's inquest at the Gulf of AL aska village resulted in verdict that George had died as the result of injuries suffered in fight with Peter Louie.

 A nurse and interne at Yakutat had said at the inquest yesterday that they believed George to have died of head injury and that he also apparently had broken neck.
 Louie. about 30 years old, admit ted fighting with George outside the Yakutat powerhouse last Sum- day and said he slapped" him. George died Wednesday,
 Fight Over Woman
 Testimony at the inquest. over which U. s. Commissioner Felix Gray presided. indicated that the fight was over Georges wife, who was described as "an old sweet heart" of Louie. Both George and Mrs. George were intoxicated at the time of the fight, witnesses said, while Louie was described as having been drinking"
