WANTS WHOLE COUNTRY TO EAT ALASKA VENSSON Mayor of Nome Says Reindeer Meat Will Solve the Food Problem. NEW YORK, March 2. -- Mayor Lomen of Nome, Alaska, addressing the annual conference of the American Protective association here today, advocated repeal of state laws prohibiting the sale of venison, asserting that the supply of venison thrown on the market would go far to relieve the food situation. Reindder, of which there now are about 160,000 in Alaska with prospects of their increasing to millions in 20 years, would furnish enough meat resembling beef "for everyboday" if a third of the animals were slaughtered annually, he said.
