MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS TWO MINERS FREEZE TO DEATH ONTRA Colonization of Northland Again Boosted Jew S WOULD OPEN ALASKA FOR GERMAN JEW Secretary Ickes Suggests Proposal Might Be Good One to Study WASE HING'ION Nov. 23.—Secre- tary of Interior Harold L. Ickes has suggested thal the United States “consider the possibility” of opening Alaska for colonization of the Jewish refugees from Germany. Secretary Ickes said he did not wish to be placed in a position as recommending the colonization of the Territory’s undeveloped area but the possibility of such a move should not be overlooked. As Territorial officials expressed when the original proposal was made by Representative Challes A. Buckley, Democrat ef New "York State, the refugees are not miners nor agriculturists and their assim- iliation would be extremely hard, in fact their colonization would have to be backed by a large sum of money. Delegate Dimond also Oppos the colonization for the same identical reasons. hop Owner Cleans Up h shop owner with a mop in his hand and a worried look to B o Tokes TR ;hown as he set about the task of clearing away glass from limit in population, unlike Puerto windows smashed by Berlin Nazi raiders when the death of Secretary vico. the Virgin Islands, and' Ha- ~ Ven Rath was anncunced in that city.

Ickes said, there is no room for in- L flux of a large body of immigrants, but the Interior Secretary said a migration of Jewish settlers to Al- aska would result in further devel- cpment of that Territory’s agricul- ture and commerce. Admitting such a program would “take considerable money,” Ickes predicted the venture would pay for itself. He recalled that clearing land in Matanuska was an expensive propo- sition for the recent Government- shipped colonists, but said the #atanuska farmers are now making a “good’ living” on the land 250 MISSING IN LANDSLIDE INDIES ISLE Exact Toll of Death May Never Be Known—Prop- erty Loss Is Large Lay Off, Slorl.
