PAGE EIGHT ' DEMOCRAT CAUCUS ELECTION SQUEEKS; DELEGATES NAMED rose A tug-of-war which at times to comical proportions last night marked the Democratic caucus in which delegates to the March 2 divisional convention in Sitka were named—51 in all, representing the city of Juneau Obvious signs of sessions held in “smoke-filled rooms" prior to the get-together showed themselve: early when the three precincts went into their individual huddles in vari- ous parts of the C.IL.O. Hall, fol- lowing introductory remarks by Sec- retary of Alaska Lew M. Williams. Some 82 persons gathered choose 16 delegates h for first and second precincts and for the third Anti-administration forces dis- tributed eatly typewritten “slates.” But these candidates didn’t to the 19 g fare too well, although they won some representation, particularly inj No. 2 precin Voting in No. 2 precinct went along fairly sm but a hub- bub was noted in No. 1 and 3—par- ticula the the second largest e e First Divi- sion it was e out twol en s back have been a vote by 2ployee who later denied his use of fear ot Hatch Act re Each per son present was asked by the chair- man if he had voted, after ballots were collected On this precinci’s “smoke-iilie: room.” slate was a Republican, while others were registered Democrats, although known for their anti-ad- ministration feelings. Calling for rules of order and par- liamentary law were tactics used tc delay and confuse things, and one man was challenged as having voted the Republican ticket lor years, although things were straightened out by an explanation that it he signed an affidavit he would be ac- cepted at the convention. He was chosen on No. 1 precinct’s ticket. After things wound up and all delegates were approved unani- mously by the caucus, it was de- cided that the chosen representa- tives would meet in the hall at 2 pm. Sunday to get themselves lined up, decide who would go to Sitka, and arrangements made for progies from those who couldn’t at- tend. srcussions Just Made It Just before No. 3 precinct was ready to make its report, a move was made to destroy all ballots, “as Is customary.” This was challenged Immediately, but the move to de- stroy squeaked by with a vote of; 11 to, 10. The plan to elect by individual | precinct, set forth by Williams, was challenged at the meet's outset, by its being pointed out that the party’s plan of organization called for an incorporated city’s numerous pre- cincts be considered as one precinct only. H Williams battered that move down, however, by declaring Juneau's 51 delegates would be considered at Sitka as being from one precinct, but _should be elected by precinct in the caucus because “each should choose it own,” and the choice then be ratified by the caucus as a whole. Chairman for the first precinet, second, Earl} was Phyllis Maynard; Forsythe, and third, Elizabeth Pera- trovich. Delegates and precinct commit- tees follow: Archie Betts, Wayne Johngon, Dolly Silva, Earl Forsythe, Florence Manery, Nell Canoles, M. E.

AIR FORCE BASE, [ Wash., Fev. 17—{®—Cpl. Richard J. Schuler of Miami, Fla., was the “Lone Wolf” among the 12 sur- vivors picked up on a British Co- lumbia coastal island after they parachuted from a burning B-36. He was the only one of the 12 who never saw another of his crew mates between the time he “hit the silk” and the time a Canadian fish boat answered his frantic signals from the beach. When the boat blew a horn in re- cognition of his wild waving of a piece of white parachute, he sald here last night, “I just dropped to my knees and said a prayer.” He was the third man picked up by the boat Wednesday. Requests Rescue Crew The Royal Canadian Air Force at| Vancouver, B.C., asked a para- rescue team to stand by at McChord survivors are sighted in in- accessible country. Survivors interviewed here ex- pressed the B-36 was far enough inland when the men parachuted so none of them could have come down at sea. B-36 survivors who parachuted to First Precinct Delegates B.
