Robert P. Danielson predicts Bay Area industrial expansion driven by the Korean war with Alameda County likely to gain a larger share. His report shows Alameda and San Mateo up in valuation, while acreage for new industry rose notably in Alameda, though San Francisco and San Mateo lag. April and May saw a dip, but Alameda regained pace. Hayward area remains the most plentiful for near term development.
