DEMOCRATS
GAINING IN
HOUSE RACE
Each Parly Now Holds 12
House Seals - Republi
cans Lead in Sen ale
—
Mounting returns from Tuesday’s !
election brought an increasingly |
nip-and-tuck race between the Re
publicans and Democrats for con
trol of Alaska’s legislature.
Late returns put Democrats into
the lead for all seven of the Third
Division’s seats in the House and
for one additional seat in the First
Division.
It represented a gain of three
since yesterday for the Democrats
as they whittled away at the big
over-all gains the Republicans
scored in the Legislature on a Ter
ritory-wide basis.
The way the counting stood today.
Republicans led for six Senate seats,
the Democrats for two; the Repub
licans and Democrats were tied
12-12 in the House race.
Some of the margins were so
narrow, especially in the Second Di
vision (Nome and the Northwest)
where the vote is small, that the I
standings might easily be upset.
Returns received this morning j
from Mt. Edgecumbe and James- i
town Bay placed Democrats Andrew :
Hope of Sitka and Amelia Gunder- j
sen in the running, dropping Marcus j
Jensen, Democrat of Douglas, back |
to 9th place and M. L. MacSpadden, 1
Republican of Juneau, to 10th place, j
Gundersen, however, had a lead
of only seven votes over Jensen j
who, in turn, was only 20 ahead of j
MacSpadden.
Senate Race in First
There was no change in the First
Division Senate race. Engstrom, Re
publican, and Nolan, Democrat, are
running close together and nearly
a thousand votes ahead of Peratro
vich, Democrat.
First Division precincts still un
reported are: Kake, Cape Fanshaw,
Windham, Fun ter. Bell Island,
Myers Chuck, Kasaan, Point Baker,
Goddard, Chichagoff, Kimshan,
Elfin Cove, Port Alexander, Hyder, j
Klukwan and Yakutat Airport.
Standings Today
By divisions the standings today
were:
First: One Democrat and one Re
publican Senator apparently elected.

(Ed. Note—This is another of
Drew Pearson’s columns which
for the first time in history calls
the roll of the Mafia, secret crime
organization which controls the
underworld in the United States.)
I'fASHINGTON—Senator Kefau
ver’s determination to investigate
the Mafia requires a lot more cour
age than appears on the surface.
Not only is it dangerous from the
point of view of personal safety,
but it is dangerous politically. For
the Mafia has friends and protec
tors in very high places.
President Truman had no idea
what was happening, and probably
his naive military aide, Maj. Harry
Vaughn, did not suspect it, but the
Mafia was making a play for White
House pull through the late Wil
liam Hells, close friend and part
ner of Frankie Costello. The Sen
ate expenditures committee was in
the throes of unearthing real dyna
mite in regard to this during the
Maragon - Vaughn investigation,
when Senator Hoey considerately
hushed the hearings up.
How the Mafia pulls wires in high
places is illustrated by Syvestro
Carolla, New Orleans hatchet man
for Louisiana's Mafia chief, Mar
cello, who helps operate Costello’s
gambling joints in and around New
Orleans. Carolla’s son, Anthony, is
married to Marcello's niece, Maria
Zaniatta, who came to the United
States from Italy on a visitor's
permit in 1947, but strangely has
been allowed to remain here ever
since. Obviously she could not have
done so without political pull.
Carolla was convicted in 1921 for
bootlegging, and spent a year and
a day in Atlanta; was sentenced
again in 1931 to 24 months for vio
lating the narcotics laws; and in
^Continued on Page Four)
Five Republicans and three Demo
crats leading for the House.
Second: One Democrat and one
Republican leading for the two
Senate seats. Three Republicans and
one Democrat leading for the House.
Third: Two Republican Senators
elected on basis of unofficial re
turns. Solid Democratic delegation
of seven leading for the House in
the second straight election.
Fourth: Two Republican Senators
leading: four Republicans and one
Democrat leading for the House.
The races might easily end with
the parties evenly divided in both
houses. The more significant factor
then would be whether individuals
hewed to party lines in their atti
tude toward Governor Gruening
and administration policies.
Although the Republicans are
leading for six out of eight Senate
seats, the prospect of party control
in the Senate is evenly balanced
because the Democrats have a six
out of eight edge on the holdover
Senators who were elected in 1948
for four-year terms.
Two Pull Ahead
The Third Division Democrats
who pulled ahead of the two Repub
licans who had been in the group of
leaders for the seven seats were
two incumbents — Rep. Chester
(Red) Carlson, Cordova fisherman,
and Dr. C. A. Pollard, dentist whose
home is at Kasilof. Both pulled up
steadily on late returns after trail
ing earlier. If Carlson holds his spot
among the top seven, it will be a
triumph for a unique campaign
policy: no campaigning: "If they
want me they can vote for me.”
Democratic Speaker of the House
Stanley McCutcheon was another
who was forging up on late returns.
He had pulled up to second place (
among the Third Division candi
aaies.
Two Democratic incumbents in
the House still trailed in the Fourth
Division.
Rep. Essie Dale was in eighth
place for the five seats in the
Fourth Division, and Rep. Frank
Angerman was ninth.

UN GIVEN
WARNING
BY DULLES
Must Strengthen Itself or
Initiative for Peace
Will Fall
LAKE SUCCESS. Oct. 13——
U.S. Delegate John Foster Dulles
warned today that the United Na
tions must strengthen itself or see
the initiative for peace fall from its
hands.
Replying, Soviet Foreign Minister
Andrei Y. Vishinsky accused the
United States of pushing a policy of
toughness toward Russia, which he
said is failing.
The two men wound up general
debate in the U.N. Assembly’s po
litical security. Dulles called for
adoption of the plan. Vishinsky de
clared the American-backed resolu
tion is based on false premises and
its motives "are false.” He said
Russia is willing to go half-way
in negotiations but will not accept
aicuLuon.
The seven-power plan — which j
Acheson has explained grew out j
of the lessons of Korea—provides for :
emergency session of the General j
Assembly called on 24 hours notice, j
for peace patrols to report on acts |
of aggression and for the earmark
ing by member nations of military
units to be placed at the disposal
of the U.N. in time of crisis.
Elsewhere in the U.N. the United
States laid down a three-point blue
print today for Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur to rule North Korea until
the U.N. Korean commission and
the Koreans can decide on estab
lishing a unified country.
It also calls for trials of war
criminals, but no reprisals against
North Korean soldiers or Com
munist party members in the north.
The U.S. agreed with a recom
mendation made yesterday by the
seven-nation commission, which;
would in effect limit the authority j
of President Syngman Rhee and!
the Republic of Korea to the south j
while the whole problem is being j
settled. That recommendation was I
cabled to MacArthur yesterday. i

SOVIET VETO OF
TRYGVE LIE IS
FOUGHT IN U. N.
United States and Friends
Rally Behind Secretary's
Reappointment
LAKE SUCCESS, Oct. 13—W
The United States and its friends
rallied behind Trygve Lie today in
an effort to keep him as United
Nations Secretary General despite
Russian opposition.
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister
Jacob A. Malik yesterday used
Russia’s 46th veto in the Security
Council to block a second five-year
term for the Norwegian diplomat
is head of the world organization.
Lie’s term expires Feb. 2, 1951.
U.S. Representative Warren R.
Austin, as October President of the
Council, sent a letter to Nasrollah
Entezam of Iran, President of the
veto-free General Assembly, saying
that the Council had failed to
agree on reelection.
Most delegations here agreed that
this left the problem up to the
Assembly, although it was expected
that the Russians would attempt
to maintain that nothing could be
done without their express consent.
Austin, talking to reporters after
the secret session of the Council,
said: .
“There was never a moment of
doubt in our (the American) posi
tion. We have been for Lie from
the beginning. We consider him
exceptionally gifted with extraor
dinary characteristics fitting him
for this Job for which there is no
precedent.”
Shown a copy of Austin’s re
marks, Lie was very pleased. The
Secretary General had been down
cast by the Soviet veto and worried
that he had failed in his job.
“May I take a copy of this home
to show Mrs. Lie?” he asked.

RED SUPPLY
LINES ARE
BATTERED
Big Guns of 37 U.N. War
ships in Bombardment
May Mean New Landing
(By the Associated Press)
The big guns of 37 United Na
tions warships, led by the U.S. bat
tleship Missouri, poured shattering
fire today into Communist supply
lines from Soviet Siberia, and
speculation persisted that another
Allied landing operation was near.
The Missouri, which fired 800,000
pounds of shells in less than an hour
in the opening bombardment at
Chongjin yesterday, swung south
100 miles today and battered the
rail-highway town of Tanchon. De
stroyers and cruisers continued the
battering of Chongjin and hit
Songjln and Sangpo, nearby. Planes
aided in the attacks.
Whether this was a prelude to a
landing or a diversionary assault,
the result was shattering for Red
supply lines along a 130-mile sea
front.
Warships Near Vladivostok
The array of warships operating
off the Korean east coast, less than
120 miles from Soviet Vladivostok,
was the largest yet assembled for
operations in that area. The ships
included the U. S. heavy cruisers
Helena, Toledo and Rochester, the
light cruiser Worcester, the U. S.
aircraft carriers Philippine Sea and
Valley Forge, the British cruiser
Ceylon, the Australian destroyer
Warramunga and other American,
British, Canadian and Australian
ships.
Port facilities, rail lines, bridges
or anything else that might help
the North Korean army were the
targets.
On Fighting Front
On the 130-mile ground fighting
front. American spearheads within
65 miles of Pyongyang, the Red
capital, met fierce resistance from
Communist troops. To the south,
three U.S. First Cavalry Division
columns, plus British and Austra
lian troops, moved from the south
on Kumchon, 75 miles southeast of
Pyongyang. Two other columns
closed in from the east and west,
trying to snap shut a trap on some
20,000 Reds in and south of Kum
chon.
Red Pockets Wiped Out
On the eastern end of the front
in North Korea, South Korean
troops pushed three miles north of
captured Wonsan against light re
sistance, under heavy support from
U.S. Air Force and Navy planes.
Air and artillery fire concentrated
on wiping out pockets of Reds.
In the center of the front the
South Korean Eighth Division drove
north of Pyonggang, 90 miles south
east of Pyongyang.
U.N. forces captured more than
1,400 Reds in 24 hours, bringing
the total bag for the duration close
to 60,000.
