APPEALS APPROVAL
OF REINDEER BILL
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, D . C„ June 16—Delegate Anthony
J. Dimond appealed to the House Territorial Commit
tee to approve his bill to give Alaska's reindeer back to
the Natives, but the committee deferred until June 22
for action. The measure would authorize an appropria
tion of two million dollars to effect the transfer to the
Natives of animals owned by white men.
Delegate Dimond further stated that a complicat
ed condition exists in Northwestern Alaska, that this
arises from the white ownership of the reindeer and in
termingling with all deer on the range, whereby it is
difficult, if not impossible to ascertain ownership. ’ The
proposal, he said, would place the ownership ol all deer
either with the Natives or the government—in the lat
ter case the deer would be distributed among the Na
tives or held in trust. Carl Lomen ol the Lomen Rein
deer Corporation, who is in Washington, told the com
mittee that he favored the Dimond bill.

waters: that the operations of the Japanese-vessels men
tioned, are similar in scope to the character of opera
tions of such vessels engaged in previous seasons. The
