THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE

Eyes of the nation will focus next week on Philadelphia where 1,0S4 Republican delegates will meet in Constitution hall 10 nom inate a presidential standard bear CT for their party. Of course. they will draw up a platform and go through a lot of other convention routine. but what actually counts is who will get the 54S votes necessary to win the nomination. Top hole man. according to the polls, is Gov. Tom Dewey of New York. already a one-time loser. but he will have plenty of competition with Senator Robert Taft of Ohio and former Gov Harold Stassen of Minnesota as avOwed candidates. and several others ready to step in if the situation develops These include Senator Arthur Vanden- berg of Michigan. Speaker Joe Martin of the House and Gov Earl Warren of California. The pre- convention dOpesters are giving Dewey the lead in the early ballot ing. with a strong possibility that if neither Dewey nor Taft can win a majority Yandenberg may be the compromise candidate and the nominee. Stassen is being counted out by many of the prognostica- tors.
 Alaska will have two sets of del- egates at the big COP conclaye. one representing the White faction of the party and the other the so- called rump convention delegates. Representing the White forces will be Mir and Mrs. Albert White. the latter national cOmmitteewOman Territorial Chairman Elton Eng strom; Henry Benson, Commission CT of Labor and E. A. Rasmuson, national committeeman R. E. Rob- ertsOn, Juneau attorney. and Cash COel, Juneau contractor. will head up the rump delegation.

 What is really worrying the pro fessiOnal Republican politicos, however. even more than the pres idential race. is control of the next Senate. At the present time Re publieans hold 51 of the 96 seats. Democrats have 45 There are 33 to come up for election in the fall. Is Republicans and Is Democrats. Of the 15 Democratic seats in con test II are in the solid south where the G0Pers don't hope to win and four Of the others are in states now Democratic. A gain of four seats can give the DmeOrcats con trol of the next Senate. The focal points are Kentucky, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wyoming. If these elect Democratic Senators, the Republicans probably will lose Senate control.
 As reported last week. a cooling off period in the maritime strike is in the making A restraining or der was issued this week in Feder- al court in San Franoisco on peti- ton of the government fOrbidding a strike or walkout for 10 days. Hearing is set for next Monday on a show cause order, and if the court so decides, may issue an in- junction halting a strike for so days while negotiations are pend ing.

Add to these an invisible stork, who has been assigned to the task of watching over the future pap py," a cold-blooded landlord and employer, a meddling mother-in- law and a crusading, apartment hunting baby clothes salesman-and the result is sustained hilarity.

 "Stork Bites Man." a Comet Pro duction released through United Artists, is happy stork- lined ad- venture comedy.

strength has been counted Returns from Fairbanks were reported to cover two-thirds of the voters in the sprawling Fourth Division, which stretches completely across Alaska from the Arctic Ocean and Yukon Territory to the Boring Sea.
 There was still considerable con- fusion over the outcome of some of the legislative contests. and tabu- lations on them are delayed.
 Gov. Gruening, in his statement, said in full:
 Democratic candidates swept all Territorial election contests includ- ing that of Delegate to Congress in Alaska General Election. The vote was of unprecedented volume and reelected Delegate E. L. Bob Bart lett, Democratic incumbent, by a margin of better than three to one over his Republican opponent.
 "Eemocrats were elected to the offices of Attorney General, Audi tor and Territorial Highway Engi- neer. For the Territorial Senate Democrats carried six of eight seats contrasted with the six to two Re- publican victory of two years ago
 For the House of Representa- tives returns show Democrats lead ing for IT of 24 seats in the body, which had l3 to II Republican ma jority last session.
 For thirty years Alaska has nev- CT failed to indicate the trend the National balloting would take, and in no presidential year since Hard ing's election has Delegate elected in Alaska been of different party than the President chosen by the nation in November.
 As Alaska goes so goes the na- tion'. We are confident this will re- main as true in i948 as his has been for the past 35 years"
