 Kyodo News Service quoted off cials of the Japanese concern as saying a provisional contract was initaled May 17 and formal con tract will be signed next week.

Wran- gell Operating and Sales Company, will be established to run the saw mill in Wrangell. By the end of the year, officials of the company said, at least 100000 cubic feet of lum- Der is expected to be processed and shipped to Japan for conversion to pulp. Meanwhile, the Tokyo comp any is sending a fiye-man technical team to Alaska next month to sur vey plans for establishment of pulp plant at Sitka in the near future.
