BALLOT COUNT """ FIGHT RAGING
 IN WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, Nov. 22-Mayor Ar thur B. Langlie, apparently elected Washington first Republican Gov ernor since the days of Roland Hartley, broke his silence in the heated gubernatorial election bal lot count contest with Thanks giving statement urgeing "all loyal Washingtonians" to work together m the common interest under him as Governor.
 Langlie holds a STA vote lead over Clarence o. Dill, Democrat, but controversy over whether an estimated 10000 paper ballots which i voters marked off for the straight Democratic ticket and then also checked off to Langlie should be counted still rages.
 Dill's campaign manager threat ened to take the case to the courts or before the Legislature.
 Determine Outcome
 The King County election board fldS teTJllltu Illt ClldIcuS~b FOtOo to Langlie, biding by a ruling by Attorney General Smith Troy which holds that crossing over from straight party voting is valid in the gubernatorial election. The 20,- 900 disputed ballots are counted in Langlies slim lead. If they are thrown out, Dill will be the win- ner.
 The Spokane Chronicle reported Dill said in Washington he dosn't intend to interfere in any action of his friends in contesting the "cross over" voting.
 Those so voting marked big circle indicating they were voting the straight Democratic ticket and then placed an x after Langlies namc.

 Harbor Gale

After nearly two months absence from Juneau during which she cruised into the shadow of the Arctic Circle and back again for 62oO miles on the log, the Coast Guard cutter Haida, Cmdr. R. C. Jewell is back at her moorings at the Government Wharf.
 The Haida, during the course Of Boring Sea patrol, took medical aid to many, gave help to two storm tossed vessels, saved two men from drowning. worked on a third who did not revive, and weathered four severe storms heightened by winds of 80 miles an hour or better.
 In Lashing Gale
 On Armistice Day in Dutch Har- bor. the old Alaska Line vessel Northwestern, now a temporary Heating barracks and power house at the navy base, nearly broke away from her moorings as an eighty mile wind lashed the harbor. The Haida crew made the Northwestern safely fast to the dock with a 12- inch hauser, and also secured the Wildlife Service vessel Penguin which ships crew was unable tc even reach the wharf to which they were tied, the wind was SC severe. NN
 On that same night, the cook off the Penguin fell overheard from the Northwestern's plunging gang plank. A Haida resucitation crew worked over him for three hours but were unable to revive him.
 Rescue Is Made
 At Nome, two of the Alaska Line freighter Sutherland's crew were pulled from the icy waters of Ser ing Sea when they fell overheard Haida crewmen making the rescue
 At Chignik, ships doctor Dr. L. w. Brown saved three of four ser ious cases of septic hr.oat and stemmed the epidemic. He also treated woman in childbirth at Kodiak, and at Nome. when word came, through that the Rev. Gun ningham on remote Little Diomede Island was suffering throat infec- tion, Dr. Brown ibridged time ano distance by treating him by radio
 Only foreign vessel sighted or the long cruise which took the Haida as far out the Aleutians as Atka was the Greek freighter which had put into Dutch Harbor.
 The only news of Japanese op' erations in the Boring was false alarm when an Aleutian Islands teacher saw the aforementioned Greek freighter and reported "a Japanese cruiser"
