3. Require ASCAP to offer

 In the Third Division, where most of the returns were from outlying towns, speaker of the House Stanley McCutcheon was trailing. He was in ninth position, in the early morning totals. In the race for seven Third Division seats in the House.
 There were no returns early to- day from the Second Nome) or Fourth Fairbanks) Divisions.

 Labor Commissioner Henry Benson, Republican, was far ahead in his bid for reelection. He had a lead of nearly two to one over Ross Kimball, but there were no returns from Kimball's home city, Fairbanks.

Steward "Screen- ing" Dispute

 Charles Nichols, Marine Cooks and Stewards port agent, said he was mot too sure" about the dis pute on the Susitna. Another un- ion official was handling that ship, he said. But, Nichols added the refusal may have been be- cause steward members did not want to sign on until the day be- fore the ship sailed.

 To Some Of U. IN.
 "Plans For Peace''

LAKE SUCCESS, (R)-Western diplomats were skeptical yester- day of Russia's surprise accept ance of some parts of U. s. Secre- tary of State Dean Acheson's four point anti-veto peace plan.
 They speculated on the Soviet Unions motives.
 Was it one of Russia's startling diplomatic shifts, they asked? Or was the tentative embrace which Soviet foreign minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky gave the plan in the 60 nation political committee in- tended as the kiss of death?
 Puzzled diplomats were wait ing for a major Vishinsky policy speech to clarify the situation.
 The plan itself, called "United Action for Peace," is a formaliza- ton of Acheson's Sept. 20 pro- posals, which the state depart ment's Republican adviser John Foster Dulles, called the Illogical sequence" of the lessons learned in Korea. ts main points are:
