While much more remains to be Amerlcaa tourists by the millions Kione, here are some examples flock to the 28 national parks. The 1 which will show the direction in ONE NAMED MISS USA United Press askeri Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay to write I IhU rait migration to the ureal Outdoors and to tell what li being alone to make the national parks an even greater attraction. Mc Ky. who hat Jurisdiction aver auch parks, tells his story In the following dispatch. 1 By DOUGLAS MCKAY Secretary of Interior : Written For The United Press ' WASHINGTON (UP) The Na tional Park Service is braced to Welcome fifty million visitors this year to the areas of scenic beajiy and ' historic importance which Comprise our national parks. This record outpouring of tour ists is part of the greatest mass migration of peoples to the open spaces in the history of the world. It occurs each year as the Ameri can people, in increasing numbers, avail themselves of vacation op portunities to see the wonders of their own great country. Nowhere else in the world ire people blessed so abundantly witn ' the freedom to travel unchal lenged; the facilities to take them where they want to go, and lire resources to finance thiir vacation trips as they are in America. And nowhere else In the world will they find the unspoiled wond ers of nature more magnificiently displayed than in the virgin wild erness of our great national parks and monuments. We have 28 na tional parks, including one each in Alaska and Hawaii, and some ISO national monuments. . At all of them, the traditional clad hand of welcome will be ex tended by the justly famous park rangers. They will ask only thut the visitors try hard to preserve the wilderness undamaged for their own enjoyment and for the enjoy. bicnt of their children and their children's children. Preservation of the natural wonders of our park- lands has been a responsibility close to my heart since I came to the Interior Department in Janu ary, 1903. The record multitude of visitors this year will find that the nation al park system is larger, more adequately stalled and more em ciently administered than it ever Jjas been. Thero arc bound to be times this summer when visitors will have cause to complain about the cingestion in some areas of our parks. It could not be otherwise with SO million visitors. But, with the full support of the administra tion and the Congress, programs which we are moving to make our national parks even better than they already are: The national parks 4t 3t for the fiscal year wflich i -A July I totals more than $45 million an increase of some 36 per cent over the funds available to the Nation al Park Service in the 1933 budget. This means that the ranger force will be expanded to the larg es'. number In park history. More and better trails and roads will be built to make the parks more accessible fb more people. More campgrounds and utilities designeJ to promote enjoyable stays in the parks will be built. Old buildings wii: be replaced. And, abovi! all, the nation's priceless natural and historical resources will he better protected. The government, of course, does not operate the hotels, -estaurants, motels and other consumer ser vices which are maintained in the parks by private enterprize. Such facilities are being greatly expand ed and improved, however, by pri vate capital under encouragement received fr'jm the administration. While beneficial programs have been encouraged, the administra tion has resisted developments which would unjuslifiably intrude upon the natural beauty of park areas Among such proposals which I have rejected were those to build a dam at Glacier View which would have flooded 20,000 acres ol Glacier Notional Park: build tram ways in Mount Rainier, Rocky Mountain. Crater Lake and Grand Canyon National Parks; mofity the boundaries of Olympic National Park, and open Joshua Tree Na tional Monument to mining. The natural beauty of our park lands must be maintained in all of its grandeur. To those visitors who find that some areas of our parks are con gestcd, remember only a short few hundreds yards beyond any crowded road or campground is the unspoiled wilderness just as It was when our pioneering ancestors first opened up this great land. Beauty and serenity are there, preserved intact for the Ameri can people to behold. For this, in deed, is America the beautiful. 1 MT.

Ore. m Shoaling, perhaps from mud brought down in the June freshet, was studied Thursday by state Board of Pilot Commissioners as a probable cause of the grounding of the freighter Santa Adela. .. The freighter grounded at the mouth of Youngs River July 7. At that point, a hearing was told, a May 3 sounding by the Army En gineers showed 34 feet at low wa ter. But after the grounding of the vessel a sounding showed only 18.5 feet. Capt. Karl Parker, pilot on the vessel, said there was no mechani cal reason for the grounding which held up the vessel for several days. The average passenger on rtie New York subway rides 7.5 miles. Jap Doctors Strike Against Druggists TOKYO m Japan's doctors Thursday took their turn at stag ing a mass demonstration over a law designed to separate the medi cal and pharmaceutical profes sions. Four thousand doctors, brav ing sweltering heat, packed a Tok yo auditorium and angrily de manded repeal of a law that would forbid them selling medicine to theiri" patients.
