PAGE EIGHT EVERYONE WANTS T0 COME HERE, SAYS HEINTZLEMAN Iremendous’ Inferest In- spires Visits of Forest Service Heads Never has there been such a tre- mendous interest in Alaska, reports B. Frank Heintzleman, Regional| Forester, on his return from a 5'z- month stay in Washington, D. C | This year. his usual work con- cerning legisiation that affects Alaska, and promotion of industries for the Territory, was supplemented by innumerable requests and inter- views. Most persons want to come here to live and to establish busi- nesses, so, of course, Heintzleman. always found time to “give them | the picture.” “Interest by the public is unbe- | lievable,” Heintzleman said today. | The attitude of high officials in | the Forest Service reflects this, ac- cording to Heintzleman. A Two nl‘ them plan early visits in line with plans for future development. | Anthony Dean, Chief Forest Ser- | vice Engineer, will be here next| month to lcok over road conditions | in Southeast Alaska, to be able to help in presenting Alaska's needs to Congressional committees. Late in July Lyle Watts, Chief of | the Forest Service, will arrive to| spend two weeks looking over Na-| tional Forests, particularly on the | Kenai Peninsula where plans Iur\ land use are now being developed “We are especially pleased,” said | Heintzleman, that Watts — the| Chief himself — wants to see the region in person. It shows how | Alaska is becoming increasingly im- | portant to the national picture.” Heintzleman did a fair share,| himself, in publicizing the beauties, and opportunities of the Territory.| Armed with an excellent series cf color slides, he gave half a dozen| illustrated lectures, including those at Pennsylvania State College and | Syracuse University. ‘ Referring to his work on timber- | use industries for the Territory,; Heintzleman menticned conferences in Portland, Ore, with Juneau| Spruce Corporation officials, to di: cuss ways of getting increased use of Alaska lumber in Alaska by gov- ernment agencies, and any other| means by which the Dumrnflenl and the Service can keep mwmhb going. The situation looks promis- ing to Heintzleman. He also has been in touch wit the purchase: of the sawmill at ‘Wrangell and reports that the plans they outlined show their expecta- | tion of putting in an entirely new L modern mill which can opfla!e lhi“ year around at a capacity of T board feet a day. Juneau Spwze daily capacity is 100,000. In Washington, he had frequent’ contacts with Delegate E. L. Bart- lett who, he says, is working day and night on numerous bills to pro- mote the development of Alaska. Very important, says Heintzleman, is the stepped-up program of the Geological Survey for which he ar-| ranged last winter in Washington | “We are grateful,” he said “for the | tepographic mapping of Southeast | Alaska, made at our request.” Jet Fighters on Ind Mass Flight; | Germany Bound LONDON, June 2—(#— Fifteen U. 8.

I3 AU, ALASKA et s o ALASKA HOUSING APPROPRIATION HELD UP, REPORT The Alaska Housing Authority has been advised by Delegate E. L. Bartlett that the Senate Appropria- tion Committee has withheld ac- ticn on the appropriation requested vy the Alaska Housing -Authority pending a report from a survey | group being sent to Alaska by the | Housing and Home Finance Agency. This announcement comes as a blow to the hopes of the Authority |tc get a sizeable housing program under way this season. Heretofore word received from Washington had iappeared to be encouraging. The appropriation requested was tc act as the working capital ot the Authority in the amount of | fifteen million dollars in its lend- |ing and construction program under the recently enacted Alaska Hous- | ng Act. Since the passage of this jact there has been a great deal of interest shown by private home and apartment builders to construct |new housing units in the Territory under the provisions of the Act. |One of the most serious handi- | bas been the lack of available fi- |pancng. This fund was to be used as a revolving fund by the Alaska | Housing Authority to offer prin- cipal mortgage lending to private rect construction purposes in com- munities where sufficient private | sponsorship was nct availatle. | a Ga'fl Mz:odlem;zi |caps in the past to home building | investors.

Glen Wilder, Executive Director of the ‘Alaska Housing Authority who does not consider this as a defeat of the appropriation, but certa’nly an action that will post- pone the benefits derived by the bousing legislation and will prob- lably reduce the amount of con- strudtion obtained this year to com- paratively limited number of hous- | ing units. The fund was not a grant, but was rather a loan and one looked upon with favor by most Congressmen. ‘Wilder stated that the Housing and Home Finance Agency group, was expected in Anchorage June| 5 and after spending ‘a week there and making a tour of other prin-l cipal points of Alaska were ex-/ pected to return to Washington by | June 20 at which time a report| |would be available for the Senate ; Committee. | <.
