Increase Margin ini Alaska by 16%;
x Republican Hall Cites Local Issues
JUNEAU, Alaska (P)-Alaska Democrats scored an overwhelm-
ing victory in Tuesday's "straw-in-the-wind" election, on the basis of
mounting returns yesterday from all parts of the territory.
The outcome assumed the earmarks of a virtual landslide for leg-
islative seats. Congressional Delegate E. L. Bartlett, remarking that
"Alaska almost always has pointed the way the nation will vote in
November," made this forecast:
"This makes it thoroughly sure the Democrats will organize the
national House of Representatives by some 30 seats."
The Democratic delegate led the way for the party by winning a
sixth term by a margin of 21/2 to 1.
Bartlett drew 72 per cent of the vote in his race with Mrs. Barbara
Dimock, legislator. It compared
with the 56 per cent vote he polled
Forsth in 1952.

Wilson Says
He's Sorry
For Speech
Words Distorted,
Says Secretary
CHICAGO (A')-Secretary of De-
fense Wilson said last night "I
am sorry I made inept remarks"
about dogs while talking about un-
employed workers.
Those remarks, he declared in!
a speech at a Republican fund
raising dinner, "were distorted by
our left wing opponents."
Saying he wanted to "set the
record straigh't," Wilson told his
audience that even Republican
Gov, William Stratton of Illinois
was "disturbed by some incom-
plete press reports of some re-
cent remarks I made in Detroit."
Stratton earlier issued a state-
ment urging that the secretary's
speech in Chicago be cancelled
because of Wilson's reference to
