AUTO SAFETY BILL
ACTION IS HAILED
A. A. A. Sees Approval by
House Committee as Hope
for Enactment.

Action by the House District COM
mittee yesterday in favorably reporting
the bill fathered by Acting Chairman
Mcleod to establish safety-responsi-
bility law in the District Is declared to
be a far-reaching step in the direction
of promoting safety by the A. A. A.,
which is endeavoring to have such
legislation passed in all the States.
The A. A. A. pointed out that while
the measure is of vital interest to the
in the District, it affects only the reck-
less minority and is an effective means
of curbing those who demonstrate their
responsibility at the wheel.
It is also viewed as another death
blow to advocates of compulsory auto
mobile insurance, which seeks to penal
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-05-08

ize all car owners for the failure of a
comparative few to drive safely.
The District of Columbia division OF
the national motoring body pointed out
that with members of the Congress
alive to the needs for safety in the Dis
trict, evidenced in numerous ways, this
interest augers well for final enactment
of the law.
The law has been adopted in whole
or in part by New York, Rhode Island
Connecticut, California, Iowa, Maine,
North Dakota, Wisconsin, Vermont, New
Jersey, New Hampshire and Minnesota.
In brief, the measure provides:
Mandatory suspension of the driving
privileges of all persons convicted of
serious violations of the motor vehicle
laws until proof of future financial re-
sponsibility has been established; sus-
pension of the driving privileges of per-
sons against whom a final Judgment es-
tablishing the drivers negligence has
been legally rendered and who have
failed to meet the judgment, this sus-
pension to remain in effect until the
Judgment has been satisfied and guar
antee of future responsibility established,
and the insertion in the drivers license
law of proviso which will prevent the
issuance of a permit to any person
whose right to drive is at that time
suspended in any other State.

Accused ol Acquiring Rein- deer end Grazing Lands
 by Unfair Dealings

SEATTLE, ID 2@-Tna Iom-n Reindeer Company is criticized as ! acquiring ownership of reinIaar ard graz.ng lands fcerl tNe F klmos by unfair dealings and Gov George Parks has been wired to asking him to order an investigation of the situation as soon as possible
 The message said: "C. L. An drews, Bureau of Education teach CT at Deering, has filed charges that the Department of the Inter- ior has broadcast through the American press that thousands of reindeer have been taken by us from the E1kimos, also that within three years the Eskimos reindeer will belong to us and there will De nothing left but memories" for the Esk.mos.
 Andrews in Seattle
 Andrews is here and said the To- men Company persuaded the Eski- mos to let it manage their herds by including them with those of of the company, and fixed the price at s3 8 head for the natives rein deer. then charged the natives an average of more than $1 a year for herding their own reindeer. This arrangement, Andrews said, would result in the ownership of the animals passing to the company in three years. He said the com pany also applied to the Govern ment for grazing lands rightfully belonging to the Eskimos.
 Allegations Denied
 Ralph .Lamen, denying the allega- tioas, said his firm offered to buy what reindeer the Eskimos wanted to sen because they had no facili- ties for butchering, and added that the EsGimos own 30 per cent of the reindeer now in Alaska.
 Lomca further said several hun dred E5kimos themselves are em- ployed as herders at liberal salar- ies." Where the Lomen Company was herding reindeer for the Es- kimos, Eonen said the charges to the Ejkimos for herding is prorated on the actual cost and the Eslli- mos were enabled to pay this eith- CT by labor or with money.
 Grazing Land
 Lomen said the available graz ing land has already been appor- i toned by the Land Department of Alaska for Eskimos and private on 8 basis of the size of the herds. He said the Lomen Company is only asking for lease on the lands it already has occu- pied for Is years and which have never been occupied by herds other than tho-e belonging to the com paay.

INDIANS LOSE IN EFFORT TO
 BRING SUITS
h.ouse Committee Kills Measure Backed by
 Wickersham
lsnaalal to Ihe Emp.ral


 WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. 22.- The Claims Committee of the House of Representatives yesterday killed House Bill 8301, introduced Janu- ary 8 by Delegate Sutherland per- uniting Alaska Indians to bring suit against the Government in the Court of Claims for loss of lands ana ether alleged rights.
 The measure, which was intro duced at the instance of Judge James Wickershan, candidate for the Republican nomination for Del egate to Congress and with w. L. Paul employed as attorney to prosecute the suits, was designed to authorize the Indians to sue the Government for rights claimed to have been acquired under Russian rule in Alaska and alienated since Alaska became @ part of the United States.
 Opened Wide Field
 Two tribes = the Tlingit and Haidas-were involved. Their claims embraced hunting, trapping and fishing rights, timber lands, min erals, developed waterfront prop erty, etc, all located in Southeast ern Alaska. Claiming that these rights had been taken from them without their consent, the Indians sought permission from Congress to sue for compensation.
 The Alaska Native Brotherhood { speaking for the tribes, at it's 1929 convention held at Haines, entered into Q contract with Judge Wicker sham and ", L. Paul to represent the claimant Indians.
 Seeks to Cle3r Way.
 Endeayoring to clear the way for the legal battle, the Delegate in- trodUced the measure early last month and it was promptly re- ferred to the Committee on Claims. It would have authorized the two tribes to sue jointly or separately in one or more actions at anytime within five years from the date of the passage and approval of the measure. Lapse of time, the sta tutes Of limitations, failure to pre- sent claims to some other tribunal. and the fact that the Indians in the interim may have become citi- zens of the United States by Acts of Congress, it was provided, should constitute no bar to prosecution of the suits.
