BY LYLE c. WILSON

ND A AAA1 Ss Nv4AAOASAN-s United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Nov. 3.-(UP).- Democrats have the election won three days before the polls open, but there Is no assurance that President Roosevelt will be able to control the congress which will be voted into office next Tuesday.
 National surveys reveal New Deal prestige somewhat dimin- ished. But it still is sufficient to what will look like steam roller majorities in house and senate. Democratic majorities of two. thirds in both houses may be counted after Tuesdays polling.
 House democrats now number sos to 115 republicans, 5 farmer laborites and 2 vacancies. The democrats could lose IS votes and retain the two-third majority which, under present rules, is of prime necessity in imposing gag restrictions to speed legislation. A gain of four senate seats would give the democrats a two-thirds count of GA against 32 for the op- position.
