R,F.C. OFFICE FOR
 TERRITORY OPENS
 TODAY !N JUNEAU

A new Alaska office, of the Re- construction Finance Corporation, was opened here today by L. Aubrey Heady REC Field Representative. Heady revealed the former REC of flee, at Anchorage, was closed June 1 and that this will be the only such office in the Territory. He said it will be responsible to the Regional REC headquarters in Seattle.
 Heady explained that the REC makes loans to businesses and in- dustries needing capital which can- not be secured from banks because of government regulations limiting the size of loans and the need of banks to make short term instead of long term loans. He said, however that the REC often participates with banks in the making of some loans.
 The REC office is located in Room 314 of the Federal Building. Heady is registered at the Hotel Juneau.
