Of CCC Program in
 Alaska Assured
Fechner Approves Increas. ing Enrolment to 600
 Men During Year

Approval has been given my Rob- ert Fechner, head of the Civilian Conservation Corps, to increase the CCC in Alaska to 600 men, accord ing to information received by As sistant Regional Forester Wellman Holbrook, from Regional Forester Frank Heintzleman in Washington, D. c. The increase is termed in man-years, meaning that the eco enrolment can be moved up to 600 men over one-year period or a larger number over lesser time The previous CCC allotment in AL aswa was 280 man-year.
 Under the enlarged program, 50 per cent of enrolment must be h. dianS and the Bureau of Indian Affairs is transferring portion of it's allotment in the States toward carrying on the Alaska plan.
 The work under the new setup will not be confined to national forest areas as in the past, MT. Hol- brook explained, but will be applica- ble anywhere in the Territory and the Forest Service is now outlining plans for projects in various sec tions of Alaska.
 The actual movement toward an enlargement will naturally be linn tied during the summer months, the official said, due to seasonal work being at full stride during those months, but it is expected to go after full enrolment in the fall.
 Enrollments will be taken under the regular CCC requirements with the exception that age, contribution to dependents and marital status is waived in Alaska. The program means, the Assistant Forester said that many projects in various com munities can now be carried for ward that heretofore were held up due to limited scope and size of enrolment
 MT. Fechner is expected north next month in connection with eco activity and F. A. Silcox, Chief of the Forest Service, plans to spend the time from June Is to August in Alaska this season, according to word to the Forest Service officials here
