%
Appointment of Nonman C.
Steins, well-known consulting
mining engineer, as Area repre
sentative of the War Production
Board for Alaska, was announc
ed today by George K. Corn
stock, regional WPiB director.
Stines is w'ell acquainted whth
Alaska and is? problems, having
engineered several large mining
project s in the territory, and
lived there for many years. He
is at present in the Regional of
fice at Seattle familiarizing him
■ self with WPB procedures and
regulations and expects to open
a WPB office in Juneau shortly
after the first of the year.
"Distance and the difficulty
of wartime transportation have
worked a great hardship on
Alaska.” Comstock said in an
nouncing the appointment.
"Weeks and months have been
spent in processing forms that
should normally take only a few
dayts, thus causing delays that
sometimes were costly”
‘‘With the opening of territor
ial .offices under Mr. Steins, w'e
hope to save as much as three to
six weeks in many cases. One
big saving will be in eliminating
improperly filled out form^- Ap
plications have been received by
WPB in ashington, D. C., with
out signatures and without much
if} essential information. These
have had to be returned. The
Alaska office will work out pro
cedures to assist in eliminating
this.”

"ihe office will allso review
any applications made to it and
cnange unnecessary requests sub
mitted because of misunder
standings of regulations.”
Comstock explained that as
the nation reached its peak of
war production, more and more
attention was being given to thi
civilian nerds by WPB. "
‘‘Besides assisting in present
ing priority and production prob
lems. Mr. Stines will also repor
to WPB on civilian requirement
which is the fihst stop in meet
ing shortages caused by war.'
Comstock added.
“He will also keep Alaskans
informed on the various relaxa
tions of war regulations. Strict
priority and limitation order'
were clamped down upon the
civilian economy shortly after
Pearl Harbor in order to con
serve critical materials and di
rect the entire resources of the
country to war production. These
are now being relaxed by WPB
For example copper and critical
materials are available for the
r nnir of household, farm and
industrial machinery without
priorities. In many direction^
procedures are being simnlified.
Mr. Stine; will see to it that
Alaskans are kept abreast of
these changes.”
The War Production B >ard
has also undertaken a general
program of decentralization un
der which more and more au
thority and responsibility for
action us being delegated to re
gional and district offices. Alah
ka will also benefit by this pro
gram. since many problems can
be handled in the Seattle ree;on
al office and will not have to be
forwarded all the way to Wash
ington.
“We are arranging to give
Alaska matters immediate atten
tion when Mr. Stines sends them
in.” Comstock said.
Stines will open the first WPB
>ffi -. in the territory in .Turn au
| shortly after the first of the
year. The size of the staff to be
employed will depend entirely
upon the work to be done, ac
cording to Comstock.
Stines first came to Alaska in
1900 when he joined the rush to
'Nome, “in between high school
and college.” He returned in
1920 for the United Status Smelt
ing, Ref in 0 4 and Mining Com
pany and opened their dredging
property at Nome in 1922. From
1924 to 1927 he was in Fairbanks
for the same company, and
opened the large dredging opera
tion there. ^
In between residences in Alas
ka. Stines took in most of the
world. From 1909 to 1919 he was
in Russia, representing some of
the largest mining companies
| operating copper, steel, coal,
[ zinc and lead properties. He
[lived in Leningrad throughout
the various revolutions.
From 1922 to 1924 he was min
ing in Ontario and from 1935 to
1939 he was in South America

Ration Executive for the Alas
a Office of Price Administration.
Order IF will supersede the Re
vised Tire Rationing Regulations

who embodied in it all the sug
ye tions made by the Alaska of
fice of Price Administration in
order to meet the need of the
Ti rritorv for a tire ration order
tailored to the special circum
stances exi.'ting in Alaska.
‘‘In other words, it is Alaska’s
own regulat on, written to meet
Alaska’s own r gulation, writ
ten to meet Alaska’s own condi
Alaska's own conditions. We be
lieve it will meet the essential
transport: tio'n needs of the Ter
ritory,” Mrs. Johnson said.
The new ration order is mark
ed by both brevity and simplicity
and will be hailed with enthusi
iasm by local boards which have
been charged with the difficult
task of administering the old
somewhat complicated tire regu
lation*. It covers only new tires
and tubes, and the list of eligi
bility for those tires and tubes,
while not changed, is more
sharply defined and identified.
Briefly stated, it provides that
only three classes of persons
may have tires and tubes—those
whose work is essential to the
war effort, public health. and
public safety.
Used tires, defined as those

are reminded, however, that

said.
Of special interest to war con

Alaska, remote from a source of
supply of tires, is the provision
that they may now secure an

tubes equal to 10 per cent of the

such an emergency stock.

Territorial Director to author)?.,
replacement of stock for retail j
dealers whose inventories may j
become too low to meet tne po

they supply. The Director also
may authorize the acquisition of
stock for those who seek in good
faith to become dealers. Pre
