 Roosevelt olicy

Promotion to the head of new ly organized section Of the United States Forestry Service has been eiven to B. F. Heintzleman and he will leave for the south March 2 to report flor permanent duty with headquarters in Washington, D. C., according to word received here yesterday.
 The new unit of the service will carry out the policy initiated by President Roosevelt through the MIRA to supervise reforestation and conservation methods which are mandatory on lumbermen and tim Der companies in general under the code recently signed by the industry. The big timber land owners in all parts of the United States are included in the program and the supervisory organization will be directly under MT. Heintzle- man.
 To Enforce Policies
 He will put all the private tim Der lands under forestry practice to provide for the continuous pro- duction of those lands. The type of work to be done in each case is to be determined by the Forestry Service. The service is to work with the companies, according to MT Heintzleman, and large staff of men will be required to enforce the measures that have been set up by the Forestry Service in their long years of experience in super vising timbered areas.
 Most of the work will be done in the big timbered areas of the Northwest, Pacific Coast states, Southern Pine area. Lake States, and the pulp timber areas of New England
 Project Entirely New
 The project is an entirely new one, as the Forestry Service hereto fore has only had to do with the public domain, and MT. Heintzle- man anticipates months of hard work in mapping out his program and gathering a staff to carry it out. The United States will be di- vided into several regions of activ- ity and each region will have it's own agency responsible to MT. Heintzleman, according to tenta- tive plans.
 MT Heintzleman has been with the Forestry Service in Juneau since 1921, coming here first as a logging engineer and later becom- ing assistant regional forester in charge of timber surveys and sales. He has also been engaged in tech- nical forest research work and was in charge of the work in this dis trict for the Federal Water Power Commission.
 Prior to coming to Juneau he spent two years in Ketchikan and was in the service for eight years prior to that in Oregon and Wash ington
 Less To Be Felt Here
 MT. Heintzleman has been looked on for many years as one of the most efficient government men in the North and his loss will be keen ly felt by many, who, however, are congratulating him on his. pro- motion.
 Speaking of MT. Heintzlemans transfer to the new position in Washington, Gov John w. Troy yesterday voiced the opinion of official Alaska as well as giving his sentiments as a private citi- zen, when he said: T regard the transfer of MT. Heintzleman to Washington, although he is enter ing a larger sphere for his work, as distinct loss to Alaska. He is one of the most capable and sim cere workers in the Federal serv- ice ever in Alaska. I can only hope that he may return to Alaska in public service some day"
