The lure Ot Stdten0OQ, and favorable weather combined to bring out the voters in full force in Tuesdays election The majority of the one thousand in the two precincts here and the one on the Naval Station voted overwhelm- ingly for statehood Villagers on the island also voiced very defi- nite affinmative for statehood.

 As Demo Choices
RECORD VOTE FOR BARTLETT STEPOVICH WELL AHEAD


 JUNEAU R-William Egan and Hugh J. Wade appeared assured of the Democratic nominations for governor and secretary of state in Alaska's first state general cleo ton in November. With more than half of the 297 precincts re- porting complete returns, Egan was the runaway choice of the three-way Democratic race for the gubernatorial nod.

Earlier fore casts were that between 35,OO0 and 10000 voters would approve ad- mission to the Union by 2-1 mar gin.
 Stepovich Popular
 In other primary races. Stepo- vich is running we'll ahead in popular vote of the man who will be his Democratic opponent in: November. Stepovich has lead of about 5000 votes over the Demo cratic nominee for the same Senate seat, former Gov. Gruenjng. Stepoyich's margin over Gruen- ing appeared to be increasing.
 Record Vote For Bartlett

Navy Says Explosion Of Missile Was
 Normal And Expected

CAPE CANAVERAL., Fla, R- A Polaris test vehicle burst apart with a brilliant splash of fire shortly after takeoff Thurs day but the Navy announced the rocket behaved as expected.
 The trim Lockheed missile, about 35 feet long, roared up on what appeared to be a perfect takeoff.
 It climbed vertically for 20 seconds. Then, just as it was about to level off, a violent ex- plosion occurred and the rocket appeared to break in two.
 The two sections poured out a twisting vapor trail as they spiraled downward. Both ap- peared to be burning fiercely.
 Two minutes after the launch ing, white puff of smoke swelled up from the Atlantic some five miles off the coast. Apparently, one of the sections had plummeted into the ocean.
 'The breakup that occurred was expected and the test ap- peared normal" the Navy an nounced later. It declined to give further details.
 If the test was a success, it was another step toward preparing the Polaris for it's operational goal-a lauching from a nuclear powered submarine above or un- der the sea.

Former Envoy
 to Russia Davies Dead at 8l Years

WASHINGTON. tR - Joseph E. Davies, former ambassador to Russia under three Presidents died early today of a heart attack after a lengthy illness. He was 81.
 Davies, a wealthy Washington lawyer, was named ambassador to Russia in 1886 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Out of his two years as U. S. envoy to the Kremlin he wrote 'fMission to Moscow" best sell Ter that appeared in 1942, the year after Hitler attacked Russia.
 The book was credited widely with galvanizing U. s. sympathy for the Soviets, who Davies pre- dicted would withstand the Ger man onslaught.
 Davies served as ambassador to Belgium and minister to Lux embourg for two years after leaving Moscow in 1888. He also held a number of special assign ments under Roosevelt and later President Truman.
 Last December, Davies asked the Federal District Court to name a Washington bank as con- servator of his property.
 In a petition filed with the court, Davies said he was unable to care for his property himself because of his physical incapac- ity and age.
 Although an avowed capitalist, Davies got along well with the late Soviet dictator Josef Stalin during his service as ambassador and was the first foreign envoy to have a personal interview with the Russian leader.

Rifle Bullets Splatter Residence of U. s.
 Ambassador To Haiti

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, R- The official residence of U. S. Ambassador Gerald Drew was heavily fired upon Wednesday night by unidentified persons.
 Drew vigorously protested at the Haiti Foreign Ministry.
 Drew, his wife and their two grandsons were not injured. Bull lets apparently fired from rifles splattered about the residence at 7:22 pm.
 The attack came when the ambassador and his family were about to sit down to dinner.
 The ambassador asked for an immediate investigation to de- termine the identity of the attack CTS, and for assurances the in cident would not be repeated.
 Armed bands have been oper- ating in Port Au Prince and vicin- ity, shooting out lights in homes after the curfew hour of 8 pm.
 The ambassador's home is in the heavily wooded section of the capital.
 Haiti has been under state of siege since May 2. There was sporadic gunfire in the capital area again last night. The cur few and other extraordinary security precautions were ordered after the government discovered a plot to overthrow President Francois Duvalier.

Customs Classifies Pictures By Chimp As Not Being Art

BALTIMORE, LR - A U. S. customs appraiser, saying he just had to draw a line somewhere, classified dozen abstracts by Congo, the chimpanzee from Lon don, as not being art and there fore subject to import duty.
 It's not that the pictures aren't good. In fact, J. Ross Provost, the appraiser, said:
 If we didn't know they were produced by an animal we would have thought they were good modern art"
 But, after all, Congo is sub human animal with no rational mind or powers of imagination, and this does not meet our tests for work of art"
