NEXT TWO TEARS
"CRITICAL" SAYS
qps DIRECTOR
The next two years will be
Critical ones fjom the standpoint
t the nation’s economy as well
i from the world situation, Ed
ward J. Friedlander of Washing
ton, D. C., regional price execu
tive for the office of price stabil
ization, said this week.
Friedlander spent 10 days in
the Territory visiting OPS offices
and conferring with merchant
groups. He expressed gratification
at the cooperation of Alaska’s
business men and indicated the
control program was going ahead
satisfactorily in the Territory.
“There is still ample supply of
most civilian goods”, Friedlander
said, “but in another six months
c*C so the diverting of raw materi
als to defense production may
cause a curtailment in some lines
of goods. This may cause tem
porary shortages”. He added,
however, that with many plants
expanding, the time soon will
come when we will be able to
produce war materials at the
same time we produce ample sup
plies of civilian goods.
“War mobilizer Charles Wilson
has estimated it will take about
■?(vo years to put the nation on a
sound defense footing. By that
time, we should be producing
enough civilian goods to supply
everyone. We should not look
for the elimination of controls
until that time”.
Mrs. Bob Totten and son Den
nie, former Palmer residents,
\j*ere in town during the past
week end visiting friends and
family. While here they were the
guests of her mother, Mrs. Kath
reen Hecker of North Palmer.
The Tottens are making their
home at Fairbanks, where Mr.
Totten is employed by the Alaska
Airlines.
