Delegate Continues Work to Secure Corporation
 Branch in North
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. Il.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. Il. Especial Correspondence) = Ad- ministrative delay in establish ment of a branch of the Home Owners Loan Corporation in AL aska is causing Delegate Dimond deep concern. It has proven to be an unusually perplexing problem not because of any legal obstacles, but because of unwillingness, or inertia, or some other reason which can only be guessed at on the part of officials of the corpora ton.
 That the law clearly provides that distressed home owners in Alaska shall be taken care of, the Delegate well knows, for he saw to that himself. As originally drawn the act applied only to continental United States, and MT. Dimond had inserted provision for it's ex- tension to the territories and pos- sessions.
 Appearing as Section 2 in the act as finally passed, this provis- ion reads: .'The provisions of this act shall apply to the continental United States, to the Territories of Alaska and Hawaii, and to Porto Rico and the Virgin Is- lands"
 Immediately after Congress ad- journed MT. Dimond requested the Home Owners Loan Corporationn to set up a branch in Alaska. From time to time during the summer he renewed that request and each time-the last only a few days since-was not that "no final decision has been reached" ]"
