Alaska War
 Surplus Office Open

Davis D. Browne, supervising engineer for the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in Fair banks, has been designated as special representative of the REC for the disposition of all surplus war property in Alaska.
 Browne's jurisdiction will ex- tend over all of Alaska with headquarters in Fairbanks. Field men will be sent to other parts of Alaska when and if conditions warrant.
 "We will be responsible for all sales and for the decision as to what is to be done with surplus army and navy stock when re- leased" Browne said. "We will decide whether surplus stock will be shipped to the States, sold here in Alaska, scrapped or sal vaged. How it IS to be sold and conditions and terms of sales are to be worked out as needs a. rise. We will gradually build up an organization, but will keep everything as simple as possible. We want to keep away from red tape, and to use horse sense and arithmetic as a basis for efficient accomplishment of the task" Only thing not covered by the statute are naval combat ships and public lands that are dis posed of by other agencles.
 There will be no speculative selling, Browne said. Everyone with an actual need for surplus 1 items will have an opportunity to inspect them and to make a deal.
 Wherever the surplus can be distributed through the usual trade channels to the advantage of the country It will be done that way" Browne explained, "and we will try to get the greatest net realization to the government possible without up- setting our own peacetlme economy"
