HEINTzLEMAN SEES CHANGES
 FOR PROGRESS
Promotion of Pulp Indus try, Wild Life and CCC
 Aids to Development

Happy to be back in Alaska after about three years in the States in Forest Service work, B. F. Heintzle- man, newly appointed Regional For ester, took over his duties today af- ter arriving on the steamer Yukon from the South.
 Three definite steps are being ta- ken in connection with the Forest Service for the development of AL aska and promotion of it's resourc- es, MT. Heintzleman said. They are revival of interest in pulp and pa- per manufacture in the Territory, enlargement of the Civilian Con- servation Corps and the preparation of the Alaska wild life story in pie lures.
 Rising prices of paper and paper products, coupled with the fact that as timber is being cut back in East ern Canada it becomes more costly to produce from that source, bright en the outlook for development of the industry in Alaska, the Re- gional Forester pointed out. Alaska, he stressed, has ample supply of raw material and water power, but the original investment on a plant to compete in the world market would necessarily be large thus it becomes a major matter to interest large capital in such an enterprise.
 However, MT. Heintzleman, who is considered one of the best posted men on the industry in the coun- try, is hopeful, he said, and all efforts of his office and the Forest Service will be directed to that end. One particular advantage that AL aska has, he explained, is govern ment care of timber for the indus try. Under this system, the manu- facturer does not pay for the tim Der until it is cut. He does not have to go out and buy up large timber tracts aas they have to do in the States in order to log it off for his plant and then have taxable stumpage land on his hands. Here he would buy direct from the gov ernment when he is ready to use the lumber.

Housing, Farm Tenant Leg islation, Temporarily

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Congress took one glance at the Presidents relief budget message and began selling Housing and Farm Tenant legislation short.
 When the President said "an in- crease in appropriations would of course nullify our efforts to pre- vent a deficit in 1938," he virtually asked Congress to knock off the well fare business as far as convenient and stick to the business of bal ancing the budget. That, now, is the best welfare work

Fertilizer Association Estimates
Average at S1.7, Against

A continuation OF the broad decline
in wholesale commodity prices last
week took the price index compiled
by the National Fertilizer Association

The seventh consecutive weekly de-
cline brought this index to 8l.7 per
cent Of the 192e-28 average from 82.2
in the preceding week. A month ago
the index stood at 843 and 4 year ago
at 802. Since the middle Of Sep
tember, when the general price de-
cline began, the index has fallen of
SO per cent.
Although declines were common
during the week to most commodity
sroups. greater weakness was shown
by industrial commodities than by
farm products and foods. In spite of
the fact that declines outnumbered
advances in the food group, the
weighted average for the group rose
slightly az a result of rising prices for
few important items; this increase
followed q consistent decline in the
food price average since the first part
OF September.
Another decline in the index of
farm product prices took it to the
lowest level recorded since June OF last
year. The effect of higher prices for
livestock was more than offset by the
continued decline in cotton and
grains.
