Alaska’s building industries are
to be fostered by the Department
of the Interior in every possible
way in the months ahead, Ken
neth Kadow, Alaska field com
mittee head, announced in Ju

Prominent among plans for
Alaska is the promotion of a birch
lumbering industry “north of An
chorage,” Mr. Kadow said. In or
der to help promote the plan,
the government is working out
estimates of its needs in building
materials for the next six to 10
years, so that sponsors may judge
more accurately the size their
infant industries should take. In
addition to the birch lumbering
industry, plans for Railbelt in
dustries include brick manufac
turing, tile making, production of
concrete raw materials, produc
tion of insulation materials and
manufacture of plaster ingredi
ents.
The field committee head said

poration had promised full as
sistance to the development of
these new Alaskan industries.
RFC loans will be granted to
Alaskan businessmen for purposes
of expansion and will be given
to newcomers interested in open
ing businesses in the proposed
fields.
The field committee is expect
ed to meet in Palmer next month,
when it is hoped that more infor
mation can be released concern
ing plans for Railbelt industries.
