But don't gé away. Alaska is now cited by Territorial Governor Gruen- ing the unfailing general barometer of election trends in the States. He contends that for 30 years Alaska (where Territorial elections are held in Octo- | ber) has never failed to indicate the trend nationa| balloting would take. And darned if the record doesn't sustain him. Alaska was on the button in 1936 with a two-to- one Democratic sweep—and look what the States did. as Mrs L. J.

Saturday, November 4, 1950 Alssks Newspapers, 1411 too, checked with Republican gains in the States. Remember the 80th Congress? Then 'came 1948 and the old win-with-Dewey psychology. But Alaska wasn't having any. It calmly elected four Democrats to Territorial offices. Demo- ‘rats won six of eight Senate races and came through with 18 of 24 House victories. And you know what Truman and his cohorts did. They made monkeys out of all the prognosticators and won hands down. Now comes the 1950 general elections in Alask: And you know what? i Alaska is showing a sharp swing toward the Re- | publican camp. ] It isn't official yet, and Democratic Governor Gruening still feels that his party will retain control f the Legislature with an 8-8 split in the Senate aind a majority in*the House.

Fire believed of incendiary origin destroyed the Lemon Creek cabin of Gus George, also his Ford coupe. George had offered a substantial cash reward for information leading to an arrest, as he was convinced the fire could not have started accidently. The previous evening, his car had become mired in the mud and he had intended to go back to pull it out. In the excitement of the election, he had postponed his trip to the cabin. M. D.

And incumbent Henry Benson, a Republican, is predicted by Portland’s Oregon Daily Journal, based on Governor Gruening’s claim that Alaska is an un- failing barometer of election trends in the States.

The Mayc xd City Clerk re- ported that their trip to Juneau to smooth out problems relative to the school building problem had proved successful. The architects plans were tentatively approved by GSA but final acceptance will be postponed until funds for the pro- " ject are available. Council decided that buildings remaining on the land purchased for the school site must be vacated on ninety days notice and that rental and taxes must be paid until then. *Councilman Shennett asked that the Ordinance covering control of dogs be read and that the prob- lem be given further consideration as he was approached by several citizens, asking that some control be enforced. He further suggested that other towns be consulted on their methods of controlling dogs The Mayor and Clerk were in- structed to wire all Federal officials who are influential in making ap- propriations - for~ Alaska, pointing j out the large sums expended on plans for projects promised through the GSA. On the recommendation of Coun- cilmen Kidd, Shennett 4nd Reed, who pointed out the dangers of cancellation of workmen's compen- sation insurance, Council voted to reinstate the insurance with Hope and Neilsen voting contrary.
