These loans are made to Indians under provisions of an Act of Con- gress of 1636 which authorized $12.- 000,0000 for this purpose to be ap- propriated as needed. Natives who show a reasonable need and are de- serving are advanced money by this agency to set them up in some form of endeavor from which they may obtain their own livelihood Commenting on the loan risk of the Indian, Mr. Fitzsimmons declar- es that during several years of op- eration in the states the Govern- ment has always been repaid money lent. Money advanced to Natives in Alaska, generally for fishing equip- merjt, amounts to approximately $200.000. The loans program here has been in force for less than a year. Wayne C. Taylor Said to have disagreed with U. S. foreign policy, Wayne C. Taylor, assistant secretary of the treas- ury, resigned his high post in Washington. Taylor is said to have been prompted by the fact that the treasury facilitated the recent French purchases of American-made war planes. It was indicated he also objected to buying silver from China and Loyalist Spain and to the recent export-import bank loan of $25,- 000,000 to China. ——er———— Indian Liquor Question Up Tonight Alaskan natives are expected to protest en masse tonight before the House of Representatives, who has scheduled an open hearing on the Senate Indian Prohibition Bill for 7:30 this evening. The measure, by Senator LaBoy- teaux, drew the wrath and pleas of a number of natives when the Sen- ate held hearing, and also brought forth strong demands by certain groups that the bill pass. Representatives are “up in the air” on the bill. Interior Indians and Eskimos have in many cases begged for such prohibition.

AS MAN-MADE FLOOD COVERS VALLEY By The AP Feature Service SPOKANE, Wash.—Threée lhnu-? sand persons are about to see their homes, farms and even the towns they have built disappear under a vast man-made lake. They are dwellers in the great Columbia River Canyon, which is slowly being flooded as water backs up behind the Grand Coulee dam. The dam is not completed, but as the massive pile of concrete rises higher and higher the lake behind it grows. Eventually the underwater area will be 151 miles long and one to six miles wide, a total of 89,000 acres. Surveys have fixed the water level at 1310 feet above the sea, and that tigure is the chief topic {of conversation along the river. | If youre “below 1310,” the Gov- ,ernment has been around trying to buy your land and buildings, be- cause they’ll soon be under water.
