Hep. onmuei Oickstein (D., N. Y.) told the house rules committee
that American citizens were taking an oath swearing “fidelity to my
leader, Adolf Hitler.” He also said persons taking the oath were mem
bers of a Nazi storm troopers organization. He contended the paper he
holds was an "authentic document" which told him of the oath. (Asso

March 5—Delegate Dimond to
day introduced in the House a
bill to amend the Federal Home
Owners’ Loan Act with respect
to the Territory of Alaska.
The Act makes provision for
the organization of Federal sav
ings and loan associations and re
certtly one such association, the
Alaska Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Juneau, was or
ganized in the Territory of Alas
ka, its home office being located
at Juneau. The Act provides that
any such organization may lend
its funds only upon the security
of its shares or on the security of1
first liens upon homes or conbin
ation of homes and business pro
perty within fifty miles of its
home office. This limitation is
entirely satisfactory in thickly
settled communities but is deem
ed unsuitable for Alaska since,
after careful canvass, it has been
found possible to organize more
than one such association in the
Territory. Accordingly, the am
endment nw proposed by Dele
gate Dimond’s bill will permit
such an association, within the
discretion of the Home Loan
Bank Board, to loan money upon
the security of homes and busi
ness property anywhere in ALas
ka.

suit by plane, in one day than
could be done by anyone by dog
sled on the ground in the per
iod of a month. Another id
ea which we believe will climax
the move against wolves will be
the addition of a machine gun,
a subject which we have already
taken up, and hope to secure
through the government.
"We feel we are in the most
logical position to pursue this
pr )gram of wolf extermination.
We operate mink farms and thru
arrangeme 's with native rein
deer companies we deceive 10
reindeer for every wolf killed.
We fee 1 the reindeer meat to the
mink. Others who kill wolves al
so receive 10 reindeer per dead
wo f, the Eskimos receiving ten
females while we receive 10 mal
es. The territory has been pay
ing $20 bounty on wolves. From
the cut up skins of wolves we
receive in our trading posts $50
per skin. Figuring the cost of the ;
reindeer at $1U per deer, we there
fore receive $170 per dead wolf.
“We use our plane to contact ]
our various posts and farms and
it will be while on these flights
forth and back between these
points that they can concentrate
on killing off as many wolves
as possible.
“On one trip out of Kotzebue
we noted several bunches of dead
reindeer left by the wolves. The
herd must have numbered about
150 to start with, but after the wol
ves had driven them for only a
couple days, as estimated by the
frequency of the killings, we
found the remnants of the herd
numbered only eleven when we
decided to fly around and check
up on this particular foray. And
that’s killing them off pretty fast.
“Depredations on wild life in
the Selawik, Shungnak and Noa
tak ranges during the past year
have resulted in about half of the
reindeer herds being exterminat
ed by the marauding wolves
which have been multiplying rap
idly in these sections around Kot
zebue. It is therefore imperative

if the food and clothing supply,
which is the most vital question
for the continuance of the Eskmo
race, is to be preserved that the
wolf menace be stopped, and we
are certain we can do much to
ward that end through hunting
them down and killing them by
airplane.”

now, is enroute to the States for
a hurry-up business trip and ex
pects to be back at his business
in Kotzebue by the first of May.
