Vote on the measure was 151 to 113, the defeat coming as the House resumed its consideration of the $160,000,000 Interior Department Supply Bill. Foes of the reindeer purchase measure charged that the Govern- ment was merely trying to help white operators, who went broke in the reindeer business, “to get out of the hole.” Representative Colmer said the scheme was “purely a Santa Claus proposition.” Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond and others said the transfer of the reindeer herds to the natives was needed because in past years the natives have largely lost their herds through fusion with white- owned bands, and that the pur- chase of these herds for the natives was essential to the economic wel- fare of 19,000 Eskimos and 5.000 Indians. —e.r— ONE OF THE BROWN BOYS, by name J.
