E Washington Lowdown —— Rodney Dutcher Jingle Bellg Group l Day’s Memories | Dream Walks Out Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON. — Today isn't exactly Christmas, but your cor respondent must report at once ghout the Jingle Bells Committee, pecause he has just obtained the Jowdown on it. I forget the official name for It, put it's known as the Jingle Bells Committee throughout the Interior pepartment, because it's the de partmental committee handling the reindeer problem in Alaska. The fate of 50,000 reindeer de pends on its long and frequent de liberations. Reindeer are the meat supply of the Alaskan natives and the prob lem arises because a private com pany claims title to most of the animals. The villagers claim title deer roam free over the ranges, to many of them and, since the deer roam free over the ranges, nobody can tell which reindeer is whose. The company tries to round up the reindeer every year and brand them, but in roundups 40 per cent of the little does and fawns are crushed or otherwlse done to death, so what the heck? Is there going to be a New Deal for reindeer and the natives who haven’t any money and must live on deer meat? You bet! The good old Jingle Bells Committee is fix ing it up so Uncle Sam will buy out the private company, let the reindeer roams untagged, and al low each village to Kkill all it needs for food. | The company can be bought out cheap—after it's audited—because it's in bad shape, since low beef prices ruined its market for rein deer meat in the United States. There are too many reindeer] in Alaska, anyway. The govern ment introduced the first rein-l deer 30 years ago and they mul-‘ tiplied at incredible speed. Then they got mixed up with the Ilarger caribou and grew to enormous sizes. The Jingle Bells Committee plans a federal corporation which will have title to all the reindeer, with natives on the board of di rectors—including a few Iskimos. (PWA will pay the bill.) | Memories of a day's press con ference: General Johnson meager remains of a breakfast of berries, boiled eggs, coffee, and toast on a table beside him . . . Leon Henderson, director of research and planning, entering the con ference . . . chewing gum . . . “Robbie,” the pert secretary assis tant, challenging—after Johnson admits the newspaper code is the only one which does not bind bus iness units unless they individual ly assent—*try and get your paper to print that!” . . . Frances Per kins, only New Dealer except Roos evelt who keeps correspondents waiting long after the appointed time. Attempts to create sufficient hubbub outside her office tp Dpre vent her from working don’t suc ceed. The collapse of a beautiful dream and the departure of one of the New Deal's more attractive dreamers—that's the meaning of the investigation of alleged over: appraisals: of land in PWA’'s Housing Division and the result ant resignation of Director Rob ert D, Kohn. The dream was that you could get property owners interested in self-liquidating low-cost housing Projects, inyolving slum clearance and employment of builders, at a limited investment net profit of 6 per cent if PWA only would, lend money for such projects at‘ 4 per cent. : A thousand projects were ,sub mitted, of which nine were con- Sidereqd fair enough to be accept ed. (Architects were too dreamY! Promoters and real estate inter-| €sts too grasping.) Now the nine projects are be ing investigated, in the belief that they were overvalued, to the det riment of the dream and future tenants. Kohn, an outstanding architect, resigned after a hot private ses sion in which he accused Ickes of Crossing up everything by con stant interference. There's a lot 10 that—everyone who works un der Ickes has the same experi ence, . But Kohn was a poor business Mmanager, an idealist, and a de lightful perscnality, who fought off hundreds of crooks and cranks, but not enough of them to keep him from his present plight. Months ago another man was but in actual, no titular, charge of his division and also in charge of the Federal Housing Corporation, organized for direct federal build ng of housing projects when the limited dividend plan fizzled out. Kohn’s chief trouble was that he appointed many dreamy sub ordinates, who apparently let pro ‘ect sellers set the values of their Properties at their own figures. Yo one is suspected of @ishonesty.

Paul ‘Chapman, dean of the Col lege of Agriculture, and Dr. 8. V. Sanford, president of the Univer sity, appeared before council re questing convict labor to fix two roads. Dean Chapman pointed out that the dairy barn on the College of Agriculture campus is adjacent te the road, and that dust and dirt settles on the building, making it an eye-sore and requiring frequent painting to keep in condition. He also said that approximately 2,000 people are expected to attend the Farm and Home Week at the Col lege which begins July 30, and that he would like to have the road moved about 75 feet so that the barn c¢ould be properly cared for and shrubs get out. The work, he said, would take about b days, as the moving of the road would re quire but little labor. Dr. . E. Strahan asked if milk ing was not done in the dairy barn, and if the dust weren't bad for that reason. | Mr. Chapman said that that was another reason the work was ‘needed. The commissioners agreed lto grant the request as soon as jcounty work will permit the use of }convlct labor. The barn will be repainted, and used exclusively 't‘or dairy purposes, the mules and ‘horses now kept there being moved ;elsewhere. | Sanford Brings Request . Dr. Sanford then brought his request before the board, asking for labor with which to hard sur face the road from Lumpkin street to Sanford stadium, with the University furnishing the materi als.

This request wag granted also, the work to be done as soon as county road work permits. The commissioners instructed Tate Wright, clerk, to write a letter to Arthur S. Oldham, repre genting the Princeton citizens in terested in the building of the new school house there, concerning the formation of a delegation to visit state relief offices in Atlanta te see if approval of the project can not be hastened and labor secured to carry it out.

The loans were negotiated dur ing the Machado regime and a spokesman for the present govern ment confirmed reports that the committee advised against making payments to American bondhold ers. Advices from New York said that the bank considered repudi ation to be legally impossible and was asking the government to withhold action until the bank’s case ig heard. The Chase Nation al wishes to present a comprehen sive statement on legal points raised by the committee, the dis patches said. Principal creditors are the Chase Bank, the National City Bank of New York and the Continental ll linois Bank and Trust company of Chicago. The government last April de clared a moratorium on $52,000,000 in bonds held largely by American investors. The Chase National Bank, In stating its intention of asking the Cuban government to delay ac tion, said at New York that it understood the special commission in its report had declared: “The finanéial operation accord ed with the Chase National Bank has been contracted illegally in vi olation of the constitution and the law. Those dated after May 20. 1929, were made with an ususping sovernment and the partial or supplementary loans were made te +heé regime and not to the state.
