Democrats Sweep Tickets In All
 Divisions Except The Second
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)

In Alaska's only close election race, H. J. Lannen of Cordova pulled into a 178-vote lead for Labor Commissioner on the basis of late returns yesterday.
 The former business agent for the CordoVa district fishermen'S union, the Democratic candidate, had 11,206 votes to 11,028 for Henry Benson, the long time Re publican Labor Commissioner.
 The tally included the vote from 136 of Alaska's 264 pre- cincts. It appeared possible that absentee ballots might eventually decide the contest.
 The Democratic sweep contin- ued in all divisions except the Second. With only of 33 pre- Second. With only g of 37 pre- cincts reported, Foster and Beltz, Democrats, lead Ipalook and Laws, Republicans for the two Senate seats. In the contest for three House seats, Bullock, R, lead the field with two Democrats, Fagerstrom and Bronson, second and third respectively.
 Congressional Delegate E. l.. Bartlett continued to hold a near ly three-to-o one lead over his Re publican opponent, Mrs. Barbara Dimock. The Democrat had 16,891 to her 5,9O7.
 For the other territorial office, Hugh Wade built up his lead for treasurer. He had 12,246 to 10,067 for Earle Hunter, Juneau banker.
 In the three populous divisions in which the vote count was de- cisive, the Democrats continued to lead for all of the nine seats in the territorial Senate and for 19 of the "A House seats. Demo- crats led by wide margins in the 3rd Division for all legislative po- sitions.
 In the 4th Division, the only Republican "white hope" was James Ryan, former territorial school superintendent. He ranked sixth in the race for five House seats, but the 20O-vote gap be- tween him and the fifth ranking Democrat made his hopes pretty dim.
 In southeastern Alaska, Demo- crats clinched the two Senate po- sitions, but Republicans won two of the six House seats.

On The National Political Scene
,BY THE ASSOCIATED PREsSl

President Eisenhower, return ing to Washington after eight weeks in cool Colorado, stops off in Indianapolis for a major speech Friday night.
 The Eisenhower address is de- scribed by the Presidents aides as "nonpartisan" but Republican leaders in farm areas are look ing to that speech to help in their party's fight to retain control of Congress.
 Eisenhower, GA years old Thurs day, is due back in Washington shortly after midnight aboard his plane, the Columbine.
 Secretary of Defense Wilson's widely quoted remark about dogs and unemployed still was the sub ject of considerable political dis cussion. It even got some atten- tion from Moscow radio.
 Wilson returned to Washington last night and reporters asked him whether he regarded the incident as closed. q would think so," re- piled the Defense secretary. He also said with a grin that he's mot in the humor" to make any more political speeches.
 A Moscow radio commentator called Wilson's Detroit news con- ference remark scandal and he added: "Wilson's attack :. showed up the true attitude of the Washington politicians toward millions of people who are de- prived of work by the American way of life" He made no mention of Wilson's public apology in Chi cago Wednesday night.
 Sen. Sparkman, Democratic vice presidential candidate in 1852, Thursday night disputed Wilson's claim that "left wing opponents" had twisted his remarks. Spark man said Wilson's exact words "do the damage. No interpreta- ton is needed"
 The situation took something of a twist When-after an anony- nous tipster phoned news offices in Washington-a check of Senate Labor Committee records showed Reuther had used the figure of speech "stir the animals up" in testimony last January against an administration sponsored poll of workers in the question of strikes.
 A CIO spokesman said later a reading of the testimony twill clearly show" Reuther was "pleading against return of the law of the jungle and the spirit of the jungle in collective bar gaining"

ly, 3 acre-feet
The issuance Of a permit, under
the original law, usually required
construction of large and cN-
pensivc reinforced concrete spill
way, and made the building Of a
pond entirely too expensive for the
average landowner to consider.
Most ponds require a breast more
than 10 feet high, and some of
them store more than ? acre-fcet
Of water.
As farm ponds became more
popular it was evident that the law
should be changed, and this was
done, by amendment, in 1880 The
amendment eXempts farm ponds
from the provisions Of the 1893 law
if the following requirements are
met:
l. The pond shall not exceed 9
feet in depth, at the spillway level.
, The area Of water surface at
spillway level shall not exceed co.
GOO square feet (about IA acres).
3. The drainage area, or area of
land draining into the pond, does
not exceed 100 acres.
4. The pond shall not be closer
than 500 feet to a public road or
a place of habitation SO situated
as to be endangered by the break
ING or failure of the dam.
5. Prior consent in writing must
be secured from all abutting prop
erty owners within a distance of
500 feet downstream from the dam.
IS. Before constructing a pond,
the owner must send to the De
partmcnt Of Geology, Mines and
Water Resources the following:
G) copies Of downstream owners
consents, if required. (2) a sketch
map showing location of the pond.
ca copy Of the construction plan
for the pond, showing height of
fill, elevation and size Of spillway,
water depth and water area.
When the Soil Conservation Dis
trict helps a farmer plan a pond,
the technicians also help him make
out the forms that must be sent to
the Maryland Department.
During the last several years
there has been demand for ponds
larger, and with somewhat larger
watersheds, than allowed by the
1850 amendment, particularly
where ponds are needed for ilri-
cation. The State Association of
District Supervisors has appointed
a committee to work with the water
authorities and try to develop a
plan that would allow the consuuc-
ton Of larger ponds where they
can be safely built.

 MT. MaIoney, who was in the Valley area on business, spoke briefly when called upon, on present passenger sailings of the Alaska Line. Although this has been the best season, as far as the number of passengers are concerned, he said, it would not be possible to maintain passenger service on a year-round basis be- cause peak passenger sailings last only from 80-90 days a year. Right now the steamship com pany is concentrating its efforts on stepped-up freight service, whereby eventually they hope to offer weekly service to Alaskans, direct to Seward, Additional krot-type ships will be added to the line for the increased service.
 MT. Maloney announced the final passenger sailing from Seat tle will be on September 30.
 The radio station visitors out lined an advertising program which will be offered to mer- chants in the valley area.
