FOREST FIRES IN ALASKA HIT WIDE
 IN DAMAGE DONE

Forest fires in Alaska damage more than timber according to Dr. H. J. Lutz of the Yale School of Forestry.
 Dr. Lutz, an expert on soils and plant geology, passed through Ju- neau Monday en route to the h. terior where he will continue a study started last year, of the ef- feet of fires on the vegetation of the Interior. The project is part of the Alaska Forest Research Cen ter's program.
 The Interior of Alaska does not have timber to burn,' Lutz reports in a recent technical note issued by the Research Center. The for est resources of this great region have suffered very severe and wide spread damage from uncontrolled fires during the past half century Direct losses of timber, that will surely be needed as population in- creases, are only part of the injury and damage sustained Concern is growing as to the effects of wide spread fires on big game, fur bear CTS, erosion and slides along roads and railroads, diminishing stream flow, siltation of streams and on scenic and recreational values.
 As result of repeated fires. areas supporting white spruce and other forest types may be trans formed 10 a treeless condition, wfil coarse grasses and fireweed taking over the site. On steep slopes this change in vegetation favors snow slides and erosion of the landslide type. It results in poor feed for big game.
 It has been contended that fires are favorable for moose because they bring in willows, aspen and hirch which furnish browse. It should be pointed out, Lutz said, that severely burned areas may never come back to trees at all and that light burns often result in new stands of spruce instead of aspen, willow and birch. There is ample evidence, he said, that moose make heavy use of the white spruce stands. They are not biological deserts so far as moose are con- cerned.

(By the Associated Press)

Bucky Harris new Washington rhumba team Consuegra and Marrero-have mucho stuffo on the old apple. Just ask Detroit.
 The Tigers saw Sandalio Con- suegra yesterday and Conrad Mar rero Tuesday. They haven't seen the ball yet,
 Who are Consuegra anu Marrero? The red book says they both pitched for Havana in the Florida Interna tional Glass B) last year. Con- suegra had 6-o record in II games. He's a slim Cuban, just under 6 feet but only l50 pounds. Marrero, a chunky fellow, had a 25-8 record for a 1.52 earned run average.
 Consuegra whipped Detroit yes terday, 12-4. with only five hits.
 Marrero. like his countryman a righthander, now is a regular starter with a Az record. Half his wins are over Detroit's first-place Tigers, a three-hitter and a four-hitter.
 Indians Move Up
 Cleveland, moving up fast in the race, saved Detroit's hide by whip ping the second place New York Yankees. 5-1.
 Billy Pierce followed up his re- cent one-hitter against New York with a 3-1 victory for Chicago over the Boston Red Sox.
 Lou Brissie came to the rescue of Bob Hooper to save the Philadelphia As Az margin over St. Louis. AL though Brissie started Sunday and pitched nine innings Tuesday night he worked 1 1-3 hitless innings.
 National League
 Once again the National is all snarled up with St. Louis and Brooklyn tied for the lead. Cir- cinnati rallied with three in the ninth to nip Brooklyn, 6-5. while St. Louis pulled up even with the Dodgers on rousing 14-6 romp over New York.
 St. Louis ran up the biggest score against the Giants this season to re- gain piece of first place.
 Fine relief pitching by Bill Werle and timely hitting in the sixth in- ming gave Pittsburgh 5-3 win over Philadelphia, costing the Phils a chance to close in on the lead.
 Vern Bickford's five-hit pitching was wasted as Chicago blanked Bos- ton, 80, behind Johnny Schmitz.

k00TENAI RIVER
 FL00DED;2 DYKES
 ARE WASHED OUT
(By Associated Press)

Two-hundred Army Engineers poured into the little town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, last night to help fight the swollen Kootenai River. The Kootenai inundated more than 3,000 acres of rich farm land in the area yesterday when two dikes were washed out.
 Meanwhile, the river threatens 27000 other acres of land, as w>il as the 1900 residents of Bonners Ferry. The river level last night was 327 feet--a foot above flood stage.
 The flood situation is brighter in the Fraser valley of British Columbia. A breach in a dike of the Harrison Mills area Was plugged yesterday, and cooler weather stopped the rise of the river. Chairman J. B. Carswell of the Fraser valley diking com- mission says: I'll we can sweat it out for two days, we can hold the dikes."
