His opponent, Sen. James M. Mead, was backed by President Rogcsevelt, while Bennett’s cam- paign was directed by former Postmaster General James A. Farley. Bennett’s nomination was made a certainty when he re- ceived 517 votes, nine more than the necessary majority, with 140 of the 1,014 delegates still to be polled. The nomination followed a bitter intra-party battle which found the state’s Democrats fighting among themselves on the convention floor for the tirst time in 24 years. President Roosevelt had said that if he had been a delegate to the convention he would vote for Mead. e - BUSINESS GOOD IN KODIAK SAYS _DR.R.L.CARLSON Residents of Westward Community Not Appre- hensive About War Dr. Rae Lillian Carlson, local optometrist, returned to Juneau yes- | terday on the Woodley plane from Anchorage. Dr. Carlson had been to Kodiak and planned to return, on August 10, but because of bad weather, there was no plane traffic between Anchorage and Kodiak from August 6 until Tuesday, Aug- ust 18. Asked about conditions in Kodiak, Dr. Carlson said everyone was busy | and business was very good. On account of the difficulty in obtain- ing supplies, there is no building or repairing going on in Kodiak. The town is widening and graveling the Missio nRoad, but only a little | of this work at a time can be done.' (One paragraph deleted by cen-| sor). “The' people of Kodiak are not; any more apprehensive about the war situation than the people of Juneau,” Dr. Carlson went on to say. “In spite of an article in a Los Angeles paper to the effect that Kodiak was bombed, this was not true; there has been no bombing or attack of any kind on Kodiak.” STAR AIR LINE PLANE ARRIVES Fourteen passengers arrived here yesterday afternoon with a Star Air Line plane piloted by Larry Flahart, with Jack Grissom, co- pilot. Arriving here were G. R. Leach, James L. Sloan, Frank Donaldson, Gladys Whitmore, Mrs. G. E. Krause, Baxter Felch, Lt. Edgar, Jack Gibb, Ira S. Bailey, Robert M. *Bailey, ‘Glenn D.
