WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. The Biological Survey Bureau in it's an- 'nual report to Secretary of Agri- culture Henry Wallace, released to- day, said It had extended predatory control to Alaska primarily to pro- eect reindeer and caribou from wolves and coyotees.

 Protection of these herds from severe depredations by wolves is of great economic importance the report said. Reports that hun dreds of reindeer are killed in one night are not uncommon, and the reports further indicate that 5000 reindeer were killed during last winter"
