LOS ANGELES July IL. -
Symington supporters on the
District delegation today had
q reason for continuing their
stand: Helping to win the Sec
ond spot on a Kennedy presi-
dental ticket for their man
from Missouri.
For the second straight day,
q Stevenson-S -Symington coeli-
ton blocked an attempt to put
the delegation on the record
for q nominee for President.
The delegates meet again today
and Chairman w. John Kenney
win call for a commitment, one
he believes will go to Senator
Kennedy.
But Kennedy delegates will
have to contend with another
bid for a postponement until
the roll is called on the conven-
tion floor tomorrow. Walter
Tobriner, a Stevenson cham
pion, and F. Joseph (Jiggs)
Donohue, a Symington man,
both oppose climbing on a Ken
nedy bandwagon before the ac-
tual count.
Their reasons for following
this course are very different.
Still Have Hopes d
The Stevenson contingent
still holds out hope for its can
didate as q compromise nomi-
nee. And his delegates feel a
responsibility to stick with Mr..
Stevenson because kilograms
from Washington have been
pouring in on them to do just
that.
Symington men, q hard core
of only three on the 1S-member
delegation, privately believe
that the ticket will be Senator's

framing from a Kennedy vote.

tered along the west coast from north of Kotzebue to Stebbins. The largest private herd number ing about 5000 head is owned by Siguard Aukongak at Golovin Bay. Now there are about 5O,000 reindeer in the state. Meat from these herds has been sold for some time in stores and restaur- ants of the region, but until re- cent years there were no facilities for slaughtering and shipping meat from the area on any scale.
 "Alaskans are losing a valuable resource by not using reindeer meat" MT. Gazaway says. "We have thousands of acres of moss covered tundra land available, and the reindeer is the only do- mestic animal that can make use of it."
 Reindeer meat is similar to that of caribou, but less gamy and more delicate of flavor. It resem- bles lean beef, but has more nu- triton value. Christine A. Heller, nutritionist for the Arctic Health Research Center in Anchorage, is making an analysis of reindeer, which shows high protein, call cium, riboflavin and thiamin con- tent, compared to beef. Reports by Scandinavian scientists sub stantiate these findings.
 The meat is less fat than beef, hence holds more of the nutritive elements by volume and weight. This makes it an ideal meat for persons wanting to cut down on calories. Those who prefer the flavor of fat with their meat can easily add it in cooking.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALVERSON

It has been discovered to the relief of mankind that comets have no influence upon the earth. It has also been discovered that some of the planets with great mass and strong gravitational power can exert considerable in- fluence on comet.
 The gravitational attraction of some planets is great enough to attract many of these celestial bodies out of their courses, and force them to make their outer turn around point near that planets orbit. Jupiter has a lar ger family of comets than any other planet.
 If planet once captures comet, it is captive forever, unless the near approach of some planet of greater mass pulls the comet away and forces it to en- close its new master in the outer end of it's orbit.
 More than 30 short period comets have been discovered and their orbits lie within the solar system.

Reindeer Industry Is Earning A Firm Position In Modern Alaskan Economy
Friday. March II. 1860

PALMER-Reinde were first brought to Alaska in 1892 to save the Eskimo from starvation, it is reported in an outline released by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Palmer. The outline continues:
 Today, reindeer meat is being shipped from Eskimo country to the rest of Alaska, to add variety and god eating to city diets. The Bureau of Indian Affairs boat North Star unloaded part of a 110, 0,000-pound shipment at Sew ard on Oct. 22, 1859, for transfer to the Anchorage retail market. Fairbanks gets air shipments di- rect from Nunivak Island. Cuts are now being sold in quantity for the second year. Some have also been shipped to Washington, D. C., New York City, and Hawaii.
 The meat is from the BIA herd on Nunivak Island, where the government maintains an ap- proved slaughter plant and cold storage facilities. Vern Hirsch, area land operations officer for BIA, supervised last years round up. Two thousand animals were selected from the Nunivak herd of 14,00O.
 After many years of ups and downs, the reindeer industry ap- pears to be earning firm place in Alaska's economy, according to H. P. Gazaway, head of eco- monies and marketing for the Ag- ricultural Extension Service and Experiment Station at Palmer Reindeer can become a million dollar industry in Alaska as in the Scandinavian countries. Dur ing 1858, 291 families received in- come from reindeer, varying from a few dollars to nearly complete livelihood. Sales from reindeer and reindeer products totaled around $200,0O0 during 1858. This included hair, hides and hoofs made into speciality items, as well as meat. For 1859, sales were 25 to 50 per cent higher.
 Besides the government-owned Nunivak herd, the Bureau of h. dian Affairs helps in supervision of 16 Eskimo-owned herds scat
