Carson Ryan,. Jr., Director of Education for the Unit- ed States Indian Service. He spent a busy day here yes- terday, conferring with Gov. Georgs: A. Parks, Charles W. Hawkeswort, Acting Chief of the Alaska Di- vision of the Service, W. K. Kel- ler, local Commissioner of Educa- tion and others. He visited the local Indian school and both the grade and high schools of the Public School system. Is Second Trip This was his second visit to Alaska, the first having been made last sumimer. He left here last night for Seattle and, after spend- ing a few days visiting Service schools in Washington and Ore- gon, he will proceed directly to hic headquarters in ‘Washington, D. C He said his visit had no espec- ial significance. He has been mak- ing some inspections in Washing- ton State and, being in Seattle, took advantage of the opportun- ity to some here to confer with the Governor, Mr. Hawkesworth and others. He was accompanied here by D. I. Thomas, Chief Clerk of the Alaska Division with headquarters in the national capital. The lat- ter will remain here several days and probably will visit several communities in the west ond in- terior before returning to the Outlines Service Objectives the Indian Ser- vice,” Dr. Ryan said, “including Alaska, we have two objectives that are sometimes regérded as conflicting, although they really are not. On the one hand we have set a very definite policy of non- segregated public school attend- ance for Indian children (a policy, by the way, fthat Indians and whites almost uniformly agree is practical and desirable); on the other hand we are, in parts of the Indian country, insisting upon the real Indian schools emphasizing Indian economic and social needs afternon.

J. Dimond of Val- dez for candidate for Delegate to Congress. J. J. Connors of this city fs certainly re-elected, and the Roose- velt for President slate of national ‘convention delegates—composed of T. H. Deal, H. F. Morton, A. A. Shonbeck, W. B. Kirk, John W. Troy and John Walmer—was vic- torious. Returns Come In Siowly The returns that had been re- ceived at midafternoon today were few, but the Democratic trend 1© unmistakable. Ketchikan, Ju- neau and Anchorage, the three largest towns reported so far, gave the Democratic party mijorities. ‘The smallest was here, and the largest gain was in 'Anchorage. Valdez paid its first citizen, Sen- ator Dimond, who is also its mayor, a wonderful tribute. Eighty-four votes were cast in the Democrat- ic primary there, and every one was marked for him. Anchorage did almost as well by the Third Division candidate. There Senator Dimond crished his rivals under an avalanche of votes, recelving 543 to 33 for George B. Grigsby and 30 for Representa- tive A. H. Ziegler. Seward and 18 other railroad precincts added more votes to the Dimond majori- ty. Dimond Has Good Lead Twenty-two precincts in the First and 17 in the Third Division had given him a lead over Mr. Grigsby, his closest rival, of 559 votes, and 606 more than Representative Zieg- ler. The total vote so far report- ed was: Dimond 1342, Grigshy 783 and Ziegler 736. Grigsby had a slender lead in the Pirst Division, with 711 votes to Ziegler's 675 and 581 for Di~ mond, The Third Division's 13 precinets reported gave Dimond 761 to T2 for Grigsby and 61 for Zieg. ler. National Committeeman Connors had a cléar majority over both his opponents. The First Divis- ion vote reported to date gave him 731 and the Third 502, for & . total of 1233 votes. John W.
