 ting Navy Free Hand

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Alas- ka Delegate Anthony J. Dimond said today he believes the creation of a new naval district embracing AL aska is inevitable The Territory is now a part of the 18th Naval District administered at Bremen ton, Wash.
 The Navy Department has been reluctant to discuss it's possible fu- ture plans in the Territory on the ground 1t might reveal Navy strat- egy and possible emergencies.
 The naval limitations treaty ex- pires December 31," Delegate Di- mond said. After that the Navy will have a free hand in undertak- ing development in Alaska which is a vulnerable point of attack in case war should come from the East. It is approximately 2,200 miles from the naval base at Pearl liar bor, and a navy establishment in Alaska eventually is absolutely nec- essary, possibly in the Aleutians."

 Those who would like to see Pres ident Roosevelt upset pointed with delight at the Democratic vote for Henry Breckinridge. It was about six per cent of the Democratic to- tai. Should six per cent of those who voted for MT. Roosevelt in 1882 swing to the Republican nom inee they asserted, the state would go Republican, other factors re- maining the same.
 But what those same Republi- cans found difficult to explain was the fact that while Borah won only five delegates, his candidates for delegates es-at-large boiled about 35 per cent of the total Republican primary vote.
