BURDNk TELLS HOW HE BOUGHT
 S4,00l REINDEER
Quarter of Million Animals 6 Found lnhdbiting
 Ranges of North

How he bought 4,001 reindeer for the Government at cost of $333,- 0C3 and turned back S303,000 of his appropriation unused was told today by Charles G. Burdick in a talk at the monthly meeting of the National Federation of Federal Elm ployees.
 Burdick said his recent task for the Department of the Interior in buying up all non-native owned reindeer in Alaska was particularly enjoyable because there were no precedents to make or break"
 The reindeer population of Western and Northern Alaska, an area a little larger than Texas, Burdick estimates at 252,000.
 Eskimo herders were employed to round up the deer. In some places, these herders were paid off in reindeer instead of money as was the custom in those parts, Bur- dick said.
 Earmarks and Mavericks
 Ownership of the reindeer was determined by earmarks as tha2 came through the chutes and the ratio of ownership determined in these counts was used on each range to allot the mavericks and the ungathered remnant of ami mals remaining on the open range.
 Burdick said Reindeer Superinten- dent J. s. Rood of the Office of Indian Affairs possessed an un- canny ability to estimate deer herds from the air, numerous checks showing Rood was usually within one percent of the correct total
 President Ray Ward of the NFFE. today termed the recent death of Charles w. HawkesWorth a distinct loss to the organiza- tion" in which the veteran Office of Indian Affairs official was an active worker.
