WASH INC TON, June 12—On e
of the most perplexing problems]
In Alaska for several years past, !
inaotfar as the Federal government
ie concerned, seems to have been
the reindeer industry and it has
not been solved entirely to the sat- |
istfaetion of the new ad min 1st ratipn j
Is indicated by the fact that the .
Department of the Interior has de*
tailed an investigator to go to Ala j
«ka and make another study of the
industry. He is Roy Nash and he
will make an exhaustive survey ol!
the whole' reindeer business. Air. (
Hash's headquarters will at Nome
but he will travel widely about
Seward Peninsula, the , Kuskokwim ]
and other places where herds are;
located. Tt will be remembered j
that only lasit year Mr. Gilman and
Mr. Trowbridge were in Alaska on
a similar mission, their study hav
ing followed hearing*! before the
Kendricks committee.
a The Capitol was a scene of ex
citement last Saturday night ,m an
effort was made to adjourn the
Congress before the opening of the
World Economic Conference in
London today. After bo*h ousc-s
had been in session from 10 a.m.
until almost midnight the adjourn
ment effort was dropped as the
Senate refused to approve wltKout
fur her study a last minute oreri
dewtlal request for extensive de
partmental reorganization.
The National Recovorv Act, in
which 5incorporated the Public I
Works Act. passed the Senate with i
Alaska 'fully protected as resards |
highway appropriations. As orig- ■
inally drawn, there was no ques-;
lion but that other kinds of public!
works could be carried on there. j
The highwmv “ection. however
was a matter of grave doubt. The!
Delegate secured the co-operation >
of several Rmia'ors and the bill ns |
passed hv the ’Senate makes it pos |
Bible for roads in .Alaska to he ebp- j
ertructed. repaired or improved from !
public works annronriations. and if
ie not thought likely that this sec
tion will be changed in conference.
The economy program for a time
came close to leaving the Fourth

and the court reporter are ordin

.no Pepartmen f Justice of Mm
t-trt he was iistructej to furlough

I'd, To sa, Hi? least, it would
be rather difh<'uii for the court to
function under those circumstances,
us only the Judge and the clerk
would be left to carry on.
The Delegate intercede with the
department and was given assur
ance tihat arrangements would be
made' for payment of May and
June salaries and a study would
be institb-tod to evolve some plan |
for the- coming year.
A flat cut of 25, per cen: has
heen- made In the appropriations of
the Justice Department for next
year an-d budget officers are en
countering many difficulties in re
ducing expenses by that, amount.
In tihis connection it may lie
Said thtda Delegate Dimond will
only continue to seek faireir treat
ment for Federal employees in ,
Alaska in the\^iuUer of pay in j
view of the higher living costs !
there,' hut Tie will resist* to the
ibesst of his * abality, efforts to re
duce personnel below the point
essential to efficient service.
The Relegate has introduced
;he bill providing for sale of goty
ernment residences at Anc.horag*
to employees. This bill has the
approval of the Department of the
Interior.
Regulations with respect to ve
hicles using the Richardson high
way have been prepared hut have
not yet been signed by tlie Sec
retary of the Interior who is out
of the city, so it will he a day or
two yet before the exact amount of
t*be fees to be imposed will be
learned!
The Delegate is now engaged in
formulating a public works pro

endanger the .entire program,
i .Most, important project in the

inost. important to theTerritory,
is the 'American section of the In
ternational Highway.
As the public works bill has not
received final congressional ap
proval, and no administrator has
yet been appointed, it is too ear v
to say what consideration t.he high
way proposal will receive but every
'argument in its favor will bo pre
sented.
Paramount in the presentation
will be the rerport of the Inter
national Highway Hiramission. The
report has been written,^edited
and now is ready for publication.
A snag was encountered for a
while when it was learned that the
S'ta e Department appropriation,
out of which comes the money for

Major Elliot and Mr. Dimond did
some fast work with the result
thaiti/the report will now be print

the Government Printing Office fo
turn it out.
One trouble is that so many of
our so-called liberal statesineh are
