Democratic Sweep
In Making in Alaska;
Bartlett Far Ahead
Anchorage, Foirbunks
Reverse 1852 Vote,
Retire All Republicans
BY The Assoeioisd Press

JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 13.-
Alaska swung strongly Demo-
cratic yesterday in its general
election-which in recent years
has proved an accurate indicator
of national trends.
The political pendulum, which
went the other way in 1852,
swung back to give E. L. Bartlett
an increasingly wider margin for
reelection as Delegate to Con-
gress and assure his fellow Demo-
Gratis overwhelming control of
the Legislature.
The political divisions in which
Anchorage and Fairbanks are
located apparently elected a solid
20 Democrats to the Legislature
It is a complete reversal from
their election of II Republicans
and 3 Democrats in 1852.
Bartlett Percentage High.
In the three out of four divi-
sions (district) reporting, Dem
ocrats were leading for seven
Senate seats and the Republi-
cans for none; the Democrats
for 10 House seats and the Re-
publicans 2. Returns were lack
ing only from the remote second
Nome to Barrow division.
On unofficial returns from 81
of the territory's 1853 precincts,
but including almost all the
larger ones, Mr.. Bartlett had
9,443 to 3.639 for Mrs. Barbara
Dimock, a Republican member
of the Legislature from Anchor
age. That boosted his slice OF
the vote to 70 per cent, COM
pared with Sc per cent he polled
in winning the 1852 election
from Robert Reeve, an airline
operator.
Bartlett Sees National Victory
Citing the claim that "as
Alaska goes. so goes the Nation, u
Mr.. Bartlett predicted in a mid
night statement that the
mounting Democratic margins
indicated a national victory for
the party next month.
Prominent issues in the Bart
lett-Dimock congressional con-
test were over which party has
done the most for the statehood
cause and which has done best
by Alaska in ALLEGATION of Fed
eral funds. Mrs. Dimock also
appealed for election of a Re-
publican to support President
Eisenhower.

Capt. Monroe has been sus-

with Probationary Detective

pected soon. if not by Friday

By Joseph B. Byfnes

Federal Judge Edward A..
Tamm today dismissed three of
five bribery counts against Po-
lice Detective Sergt. William A..
Taylor.
The action followed an hour
long plea by defense attorneys
Myron Ehrlich and Joseph Sit
nick to have their clients, Tay-
lor and 1t. H. H. Carper, award
ed directed verdicts of acquittal.
Judge Tamm, of the U. S. Dis
-trict Court of the District of
Columbia, ruled that the three
counts against Taylor should be
dismissed. However, he said,
Carper would continue on trial
on all five counts.
The counts remaining against
Taylor, who was Carper's aide
when he headed the Narcotics
Squad, consist of one charge of
bribery and one of conspiracy
to accept a bribe.
Admit Evidence Is Lacking.
Prosecutors Frederick Smith
son and E. Riley Casey readily
admitted to Judge Tamm they
had not produced any evidence
showing that Taylor accepted
$1,000 on June l, September /.

The Government, in a surprise

after hearing Howard Chappell,

peddler told him (Chappell) that

Thus the Governor stood
ready to refuse to introduce the

employment in Detroit on Mon
day.
Edward L. Ryerson and Fred

the dinner, issued this state
ment:
"We issued a cordial invita-
ton to Secretary of Defense
Charles E. Wilson to speak at
our dinner tonight.
1--WE hope he will come and
give q rousing talk. We have
assured him he will be enthusi-
astically received"
Gov. Stratton, in suggesting
the invitation be revoked, said
he didn't believe Mr.. Wilson
would be in a position to repre-
sent properly the viewpoint" of
the Eisenhower administration.
Wilson Voices Surprise.
Mr.. Wilson, at his home in b
Detroit suburb, expressed sur
prise at Gov. Stratton's remarks.
He prepared to leave for Chicago
by plane at 4:20 pm.
The dinner incident was the
latest development in the cross
country storm kicked up by the
Defense Secretary's remarks
about dogs and unemployment
at the Detroit news conference.
At the conference, Mr.. Wilson
said he had "a lot of sympathy"
for jobless workers. But he ex-
pressed a preference for bird
dogs" over "kennel-fed dogs"
THE bird dogs like to go out
and hunt around for their food, +"
he said. But the kennel dogs
just sit on their fannies and
yell"
Stratton said he could not
understand how any man could
treat the unemployment prob
lem 80 lightly" He added:
Let me say that in view of
his unfortunate statement, which
is actually opposite to the atti-
tude of my administration and
which is obviously contrary to
the views of the President, I do
not believe he would be in q
position to represent properly
the viewpoint of this admins
tration at the meeting tonight.
consequently, I suggest that
his scheduled appearance be
cancelled"
Cites Two Mistakes"
Mr.. Wilson said the invita-
tion to the meeting did not come
from Gov. Stratton, but from the
Republican organization. He told
newsmen:
1.-THE Governor doesn't know
me well enough to know my real
concern for the unemployed.
HE is making two mistakes
first he is letting the opposi-
ton interpret my attitude to-
ward unemployment and second
he is taking their misinterpre-
tation and accept it."
MIR. Wilson stated yesterday
that his remarks were not
meant as an offense to any one.
And for any one to imply
that I did, or under any cir
cumstances would think that
way, is a complete distortion of
