PARTY CONTROL
OF CONGRESS TO
Be CLOSE AFFAIR
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
{ United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, No. 6. U.P)-Tech-
nical control of congress still re-
manned in doubt at noon today al
though at best Republicans can
only hope now for a nominal ma
jority in the house and senats
Actual domination OF congress has
slipped from them due 20 tie fac.
that Democrats, when they hold q
solid party front. can, almost with
certainty. count on enough insur-
gent Republican votes to carry any
majority vote in either house at
will.
The lineup at noon today stood
as follows:
Senate: Republicans, 47; Demo-
Gratis, 46; Farmer-Labor, l. Doubt
ful, Kentucky and Minnesota.
House: Republicans. 2l3: Demo-
Gratis, 2l2; Farmer-Labor, /; doubt
full, Kentucky, I; Illinois, ,.
Republicans have strong hope of
re-electing Senator Thomas Schall
in Minnesota. Late returns today
showed him gaining at a rate eX-
pected to give him slight majority
over Einar Hoidale. Democrat. a
recount may finally decide it.
In Kentucky, however, the Demo-
cratic senatorial candidate, M. Mills
Logan, appeared the likely winner
over Senator John NJ. Robson with
more than half Of the returns in.
Should these two contests result
as expected, Republicans would
have a senate strength of rs. one
short of clear majority and DEM
ocratS would have AZ. This woulG
throw the balance of control into
the hands of the single Farmer
Labor senator, Henrik Shipstead, of
Minnesota He usually votes with
Republicans on senate organization
matters and could thus enable them
to retain control of committee and
other senate machinery. Only by
reversing the outlook and winning
in Kentucky also could the Repub-
llcans gain clear majority.
In the house, Republicans are
within two of a technical ma jority
and the Democrats are three short
with nine seats yet to be reported.
