May Revive West
Coast Shipbuilding
((/P) Special Washington Service)
WASHINGTON, (A3)—'The Mari
time commission will consider
soon in a closed session the need
for revival of shipbuilding on the
Pacific Coast.
Commissioner Joseph K. Car
son, Jr., notified Senator Magnu
son (D.-Wash.) yesterday he has
suggested to his fellow members
that they consider the need of re
gionally allocating ship construe- i
tion. Under such a plan west coast,
shipyards could get a share along
with those on the Gulf and Atlan
tic coasts.

Henry Wallace also got into the
atomic cross-mize at Milwaukee.
The Progressive party’s Presiden
tial candidate claimed credit for
giving Mr. Truman his now-aban
doned idea of sending Chief Jus
tice Fred M. Vinson to Moscow to
talk about the “atomic problem.”
The President told his Milwau
kee audience that Dewey showed
a “dangerous lack of understand
ing” in bringing the subject of
atomic energy into the political
arena.
While saying that business con
cerns will continue to take an im
portant part in atomic develop
ment, Mr. Truman declared “we
1 must not put profit making above
the natiQnal welfare.”
Atomic energy, he added, must
not be “another Teapot Dome.”
At the same time the President
put Russia on notice that:
“Until the right kind of interna
! tional control is assured we have
no choice but to proceed with the
development of atomic weapons.”
Dewey told a rally in Mr. Tru
man’s old Kansas City bailiwick
that the Democratic administration
“is coming apart at the seams.”
“It runs off in a dozen different
directions at once. It tries ,to
frighten people. It divides them,”
he said.

Governor Gruening declared:
“In no Presidential year since
I the Harding election has the dele
gate elected in Alaska been of a
different party from the President
chosen by the nation.”
Lew Williams, secretary of the
Territorial canvassing board, es
timated the total vote was close to
20,000. on the basis of incomplete
returns. He said the largest previ
ous vote was 16,979 in 1946.
Returns from 79 of 225 pre
cincts showed Congressional Dele
gate E. L. Bartlett, a non-voting
Congressman, leading his Repub
lican opponent, R. H. Stock of An
chorage, 13,657 to 3,821.
J. Gerald Williams, Democratic
candidates for attorney general,
led Republican Aimer J. Peterson,
10,198 to 6,482.
Frank A. Boyle, incumbent
Democratic auditor, led Republi
can Albert E. Goetz, 10,746 to
5,618.
Frank H. Metcalf, incumbent
Democratic highway engineer, led
Donald MacDonald II, a Republi
can, 9,419 to 7,748.
Voters favored a referendum to
abolish fish-traps by a count of
13,852 to 1,648.
In his statement from the Re
publican standpoint, diffe ring
sharply with Democratic claims of
the election significance, Benson
said:
“Doris Barnes of Wrangell was
elected with the largest vote ever
recorded for the House. The elec
tion of Republican Anita Garnick
marks the entry of the first wo
man elected to the Alaska Senate.
“The success of the Republican
candidates is particularly note
worthy, since this campaign has
been distinguished by appearance
of Democratic campaigners of cab
inet rank. Secretary of the treas
ury Snyder led the parade, fol
lowed by undersecretaries and as
sistant secretaries in the depart
ments of commerce and interior.
“Bureau chiefs by the dozen
have plaqued voters throughout
the campaign and made* federal
employees in Alaska a backlog of
Democratic votes.
“The tremendous effort made by
the Truman administration for
carrying Alaska again demon
strates the political bungling
which has removed these absen
tees from voting in their home
states. I congratulate every Re
publican candidate in Alaska for
this contribution to a Dewey-War
ren victory.”
Benson also claimed that the
conclusive vote for abolition of
fish traps “is in support of the Re
publican position on that issue.”
The vote against fish traps was
one-sided in every division. The
