OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)
April 11, 1936.
H R 8766, the bill to auth
orize incorporated cities
and towns in Alaska to in
cur bonded indebtedness,
which was reported favor
ably last week by the house
committee on territories,
passed the House April 6.
To expedite final passage
of the measure a similar
bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Schwell
enbach of Washington, at
the Delegate’s request.
This was referred to the
senate committee on Terri
tories and Insular Posses
sions for a report, and when
it is brought up for action
by the committee, the id
entical bill that has passed
the blouse will be substitut
ed and reported to the sen
ate instead of the senate
bill. Through the coopera
tion in this manner of sen
ators in sympathy with the
needs of the territory, Del
egate Dimond has often se
cured earlier approval of
important legislation for
Alaska than would have
otherwise been possible.
The bill introduced by
Delegate Dimond to extend
certain provisions of the
WheelerHoward Act to Al
aska passed the house Ap
ril 6 and a companion bill j
that had been introduced,
in the senate was favorab-j
ly reported today by the!
senate committee on Indian
Affairs. It is expected that
the proposed legislation!
will soon receive the ap-,
proval of the senate.
H R 12120, a bill to pro-'
vide for the further devel
opment of vocational edu
cation in the several states'
and territories was favor-;
ably reported tody by the
house committee on educa
tion. This bill was introduc
ed by congressman Deen of
Georgia, after the commit
tee had held hearings on his
bill H R 19190 and is an
amended form of that bill.!
The George-Ellzey Act
approved May 21, 1934 pro
vided $3,000,000 for the fis
cal years ending June 30,

Budapest, April 29, —
Police announced today,

to be the national chief of
the movement, had been ar

Authorities said they dis
covered forty uniforms of
generals and colonels in the
Hungarian army.
Boslormeny at his home
asserted he had been in
formed that Nazi sympath
izers planned to wear the
uniforms as psuedo officers
when they prepared to take
charge of the troops at the
capitol.
At the same time the pol

information that a large
number of Nazi sympathiz

had received secret orders
to come to Budapest May
1st.
