CCC enrollees, working the Harney National Forest service, completed the lookout's new tower and living quarters this season, but the terrace, wall and steps remain to be finished next summer. Supervisor E. A.

Snow described construction of the stone tower, on top of an 80-foot cliff, as a stupendous undertaking and one of the largest and most difficult projects undertaken by the CCC. No Roads To Top "There are no roads to the top of the mountain," he related, "and all material had to be trucked to the foot of the peak and then relayed upward on two sleds pulled by horses." Tramways a mine car were used to get supplies to the top of the cliff, while the men climbed roue ladders. So dangerous the work that nets were spread below to catch any man who might have fallen from the scaffolding. There were no accidents. Harney Peak's first lookout Was built in 1911.

Open Inquiry Into Automobile Patents WASHINGTON.

D. Attorney General Thursman Arnold opened an inquiry into automobile patents by the National Economic committee today, asserting that anti-trust enforcement jinust be used to remove obstacles to full industrial production. "Anti-trust enforcement," he said, "must be linked to the successful operation of our economic system. It should not, be used blindly to disturb the efficiency of mass production. Neither should It be used to upset orderly marketing conditions which increase the efficiency of distribution." Arnold is In charge of the Justice department's anti-trust division.

His statement ushered the cqmmit- tee into a new phase of its work, specific investigation of various industries in a two-year study of concentration of economic power, and government pol- icieS.
