DELEGATE AT
 CAPITAL BUSY
 FOR ALASkANS Presses Forward Bills De- spite Interest Centered in Numerous War
 Measures TO ASSIST GROWERS One Bill Provides For Get ting Money and the Other Against the
 80-Rod Strip
TO ASSIST GROWERS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S--(Special) Delegate Charles A. Sulzer is neg. lecting no opportunity to press leg. islation for Alaska, even though the attention of Congress is mostly cen tered on war measures. On Jan. 10th, he introduced a bill to have abolished the 80-rod strip in Alaska, and on Jan. 7th he introduced an other measure to have the Federal Farm Loan act extended to Alaska.
 The former bill has the backing of the General land office, and Rep Carter Glass, of Virginia, who is chairman of the Currency and Bank ing Committee, promises to assist with the farm loan bill.
 Anything not bearing directly on the far has very little chance of attracting attention. and therefore the quiet effective work being ac. complished by Alaska's delegate em- phasizes more than anything else his conscientious and earnest ef- forts. Following is copy of the two latest bills:

 Rodiger, who has been under ob- seryation by agents of the department of justice for some time, Uas known in the government records as Lieu tenant Commander K" Agents of the department declined to state tonight the specific charge that would ulti- mately be made against him.
