For highway engineer, demo- crat Hesse as usual has piled up his greatest majority against Sto- rey, republican.
 In the Second Division legisla- tive contests, the election is con- ceded to O. D. Cochran, demo- crat, over J. C. Kennedy, repub Ican, by nearly two to one thru out the division, according to present precinct returns arrived at Nome to date.
 In the race for house, three democrats are leading by sub stantiaI majorities throughout the division, with thirteen precincts out of twenty already received. The ticket is led by Leonard Smith, followed closely by John Lichtenberg, George Laiblin, and Tolbert Scott. Ed Steffen, re- publican, is a close fifth, being only matter of about thirteen votes behind Scott for the fourth position.
 A general summary of the Sec ond Division including Nome shows that the lead set by the democratic ticket in Nome is in- creasing in all of the large pre- cincts, although some of the small CT precincts show small republi- can returns.

Climaxing an intensive final week of strenuous campaigning the democratic and republican parties went into the election yesterday, working for every vote possible in the city.
 The total vote cast for Nome was 559 record which has not been equalled during the last 8 to 10 years. Results totalled last night late on the Nome vote show ed an overwhelming lead estab- lshed by nearly all democratic candidates on the ballot.
 The Nome vote was not counted complete until about six AM. to- day, the results of which may be seen in the tabulated table in an- other section of the today's issue.

From all over the Territory of Alaska come reports of the phe nomenal lead being piled up by Democratic Candidate Anthony J. Dimond, for reelection as Del egate from Alaska to Congress. Fairbanks, Anchorage, Seward, Cordova, Valdez, Juneau & even Ketchikan are reporting the enor nous majorities for the democrat ic candidate to congress who leads the Vote for Roosevelt par ty in Alaska.
 A veritable landslide has re- suited from what was worked in- to an exciting and dangerous campaign during the summer months, in all parts of the terri tory.
 In some quarters republican candidates are putting up stiff competition, but the loss of strai- ght republican tickets has been noticeable turnout the ballotlng in nearly every large city in Alas ka. The splitting of votes has done the republicans no good, while democratic aspirants have increased early leads to nearly complete majorities through the gaining of straight ballots.
 The presence of independent candidates, both territorially and in divisional contests, has serious ly cut into the direct primary votes. In the Second Division is this more pronounced than else- where, legislative independents securing fine votes at the expense of numerous republican candi- dates.
 Elsewhere may be seen early returns from other sections of Alaska showing the trend of the voting in those districts-a trend which foretells a nearly demo- cratic landslide, altho definite prophecy of such is still without foundation. To date Alaska ap- pears to be holding in line for the democratic party and in full SUD- port of President Roosevelt.
 News agencies in the States were anxious to hear the early re turns from Alaska and observe the trend, as the Territory is probably the first of the political units to cast a decisive vote, eith- CT for or against Roosevelt and Landon, with early returns indi- eating almost complete backing for Roosevelt. It has been notice able throughout the territorial campaigns that the national po- litical picture has been employed to influence the territorial vote, numerous divisional and territor- ial candidates referring to the im-

PRIVATE PENSION
T0BE considered
King to Call Joint House and
Senate Committees to
Weigh Plan.

Whether 1t win be possible for this
Congress to work out q private pension
amendment to the social security law
before the rapidly approaching adj
journment is likely to be determined
early this week.
The joint House and Senate Com
mittee that has had the question un-
der consideration since the session be-
gan wrote last week for the views of
the Social Security Board and of the
Treasury Department on the recently
drafted compromise plan, designed to
encourage industries that have volun-
tarily established retirement systems
for their employees, to retain those sys-
TENS after the Federal retirement plan
goes into operation next year.
Expects Reply Tomorrow.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah.
chairman of the Joint Committee, said
yesterday he Ii expecting q reply to-
morrow from the Social Security
Board. When these oficial comments
are received he viii call the commit
tee together to act on the amend
ment.
The original Senate amendment by
Senator Clark. Democrat, Of Missouri.
sought to exempt from the pay roll
taxes, which start next January, any
concern which operates an approved
private plan, at least equal to or more
beneficial than the Government sys-
TEN.
To meet the objection of some that
a tax exemption plan might weaken
the legality Of the law. the new pro-
posal would require all industries to
pay the tax. However, If an industry
also paid premiums to an insurance
company for the operation of a pri-
vate pension plan. that industry would
get back from the Government the
following year the necessary reserve
to support. the amount of pension the
Government would be carrying for
those employees II the private plan did
not exist.
While the theory Of the amendment
Is that private plans would call for
larger benefits than are contemplated
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1936-05-24

by the Federal system, the Government
would pay back only the reserve T,eces-
sary for the equivalent Of the Gov
eminent pension.
! At hearings two months ago on the
proposed compromise, it was brought
out that some industries In this coun-
try have had private retirement sys-
TENS In operation for Is years.
Some advocates in Congress of q
private pension amendment believe It
Is desirable to adopt some method Of
encouraging retention Of these exist
ing plans. In the event the social Sc
curity law should fail to meet the
test Of consitutionality in the courts.
