House Immigration Committee hearings on the Dickstein Bill to open Alaska to colonization by refugees, tentatively scheduled for today, were postponed until next week at the request of the Interior Department, committee aides said. Interior officials said the postponement was requested because of the illness of one of their principal witnesses and that they were certain the hearings would get under way next week.
