First Official
 Survey of CCC
 Work Made Here
Fechner, Morrell Planning Enlargement of Alaska
 CCC Program

First officials from Washington, D. C., to survey the four, years of eco wcrk. accompNshed in Alaska, Robert Fechner, head of the Civilian Conservation Corps and Fred Nor rell, in charge of CCC work for the United States Forest Service, ar rived here yesterday and today were already underway with tentative plans for the further development of CCC work in Alaska.
 Although they emphasize that the plans are still indefinite, the two executives have discussed with Re- gional Forester B. F. Heintzleman the possibility of extending CCC work to include assistance in lein- deer herding, and aid in the Ter ritorial predatory animal control program.
 Short Time Planning
 Regretting the tentative decision yesterday made by the Congress conference committee limiting eco work to three years rather than maintaining it as permanent poli- cy, MT. Fechner stated: T am sorry such trend is indicated at Con- gress, for it means we must restrict our projects to short time planning. If we could look upon the eco as a permanent organization, we could attempt more constructive and last ing work. As it is, we must begin only projects which may be quickly completed"
 However he stated, "if condi- tions warrant continuation, be- lieve at the end of three years the CCC will be again favored by Con- |gress."
 One of the projects of long range planning which would suffer from withdrawal of the CCC is the dust bowl conservation program, which already, olling to MT Fechner, is showing progress. However, he says, 50 years or more will be re- quired to completely alleviate the conditions.
 Labor Situat ton
 Formerly labor leader as Ma tional vice president of the Inter- national Association of Machinists, A.F. Of L. affiliate, MT. Fechner is watching with interest the CIO and AFL dispute. Lewis is taking advantage of the prosperous condi- tions in the steel and automobile industries, and so far is pressing ahead. But one setback, believe, will result in the rapid disintegra- tion of his leadership"
 MT. Fechner and MT. Morrell, ac- compauied by Mrs. Fechner and Mrs. c. B. Holbrook, are leaving Tuesday for the Westward to con- tinue their survey, and will return to Juneau toward the middle of next month on their way back to the States. While in Juneau the pair are guests at the Gastineau Hotel.

 Not relative of the Forest Ser vices MT.

 MT. Fechner's office is flooded with mail each day." she explains and we hear reports from all over the States of the effect of eco work, both as to the personnel and as to actual progress of the conser- vation program.
 Mrs. Fechner and Mrs. Holbrook are looking forward to their three weeks stay in the Territory, and are so far especially impressed with Juneau hospitality. They enjoyed the trip to Juneau from Ketchikar aboard the Forester. and found Bernie (B. R. Aiken, skipper o1 the boat an ideal real Alaskan.
