This was revealed today by in- structions received from Washing- {ton by at least one Government agency here which is purchasing thousands of dollars materials and supplies locally all the time. This action is taken to comply with the Executive Order ’promuluuled Thursday by President Roosevelt. ! The scope of the order was dis- closed here today in telegraphic instructions received by the United States Forest Service and made public by B. F. Heinztleman, As- sistant Regional Forester. The tele- gram said that the President's | orders provided that no, contracts| | shall be awarded to eoncerns which have not complied with provisions| | applicable under the NIRA code for | the industry involved, or to the | President’s re-employment agree- | ment under Section four (a) of| the National Recovery Act. It add- ed: “This probably applies to open| market purchases, also.” The Forest Service, which is ex- pending substantial sums locally| and in other Alaska communities in its regular activities and in the Emergency Conservation Work !program under its control, will ad- | here strictly to the instructions, Mr. Hentzleman said. The order is | effective immediately. | Purchases by other Government | agencies, it is certain, will come! |under the same order. In the ab- sence of Gov.
