at Nome are .a great oibstocle to ef
forts made by the Second Division
legislative delegation to secure trans
portation relief for that section of
Alaska. Members of the legislature
here favor securing Shipping Board
vessels for the Alaska traffic. Ef
forts are also being made by the Nome
delegation to secure modifications of
the present restrictons on Siberian
telegraphic communications and it is
expected they will be achieved thru
the new administration. Congress
has passed the Harbor Appropriation
bill but no allotment has yet been
made by the War Deportment Engin

an Alaska federal judgeship and will I
have strong support. Attorney Jrn i
D. Orton of Nome has declined a nom

Committeeman McBride for judge for
