Democrats Now Hold
53-5eat Margin in
House, 10 in Senate
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A Democratic House margin of So
members over Republicans was
shown today in complete unoficial
roster compiled from the November
Z election.
The lineup in the new House
converting January (barring the
possibility that late soldier vote
counts may switch some districts)
will be:
Democrats, 243;
Republicans, 100;
Progressive and American Labor,
l each
This compares with the margin of
two the Democrats held over Re-
publicans when they went into the
election. However, the Democrats
elected three additional members to
fill unexpired tems-until January
3-while one Democrat has resigned.
The lineup now is ZIG Democrats
and 212 Republicans.
Provided soldier votes do not wipe
out present leads in Missouri and
Pennsylvania, the new Senate will
line up this way:
Democrats, 81;
Republicans, 50;
Progressive, l.
This would give the Republicans a
net gain OF one.
OF the IS Senate seats contested
for, the Democrats apparently won
81 and the Republicans, IA.

Appeal for Workers
Issued as War Output

With scores Of war plants in this
region repeatedly falling behind in
production schedules. an appeal for
more workers to switch to war Jobs
was issued today by Henry e. Treide,
director Of region 1, which includes
the District, Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia.

dustry, including 1000 who would
be sent to places outside region 4.
Scores OF war plants in Baltimore
and in Hampton Roads, Va, were
running behind schedule in the
building Of combat and cargo ships,
transports, combat planes, COM
munications equipment, cotton duck
for housing, radar, rocket and
mortar powder and heavy artillery
ammunition because of the short
age Of manpower, it was reported.
Mr.. Trside told the Regional
Management-Labor Committee that
about 1000 workers are needed in
Baltimore, Hampton Roads, Rad
ford and Dublin, Va, and in other
war production centers in the region
In Baltimore, he said, workers are
needed at the Glenn L. Martin Co. i
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Point Ship
yard, the Bethlehem Steel Co.. Key
Highway Division and the Bethle-
hem Fairfield Shipyard.
Mr.. Treide said the principal rea-
son for the trend away from war
production employment, which de-
veloped during the summer, was the
widespread belief that the war was
nearly over and the desire OF many
workers TO obtain jobs which they
believed offered greater postwar op-
portunities. He pointed out that UNI
less present employment gaps are
filled, production of many vital war
commodities will be delayed, thus af-
fecting the war both in Europe and

studied law and was admitted to
the bar in 1892. Three years later
he became Iowa's Washington Coun-

Strong in his convictions, Mr.
BroQkhart was an early advocate of
recognition of Russia and of CO.

publican, he opposed the Harding
and Coolidge administrations on
some legislation, and in 1924, when
he sought reelection and apparently
won by close vote, his opponent

He again sought the Republican

successful, he opened a law Office in
Washington and remained there
until 1943.
Mr.. Brookhart served in the World

veterans are its greatest asset.
They are needed in combat thea
tres because of their experience. To
get them in the mood to return to
war is the job of redistribution GEN.
ter The first step in this direction
Is to have the men relax completely
forget war for short time, and
have hellrva good time in the
meanwhile.
Here the simplicity of the prob
lem ends. That complex Of
color is permitted to enter, and
with it come the difficulties.
Shall Negroes be sent to the
same redistribution centers with,
whites? They've been facing
the same death watching
THEIR buddies get wounded
and die-living in the same
Misunderstanding in the same
mud-and torturing their souls
wondering what and how
THEIR folks back home were
dOing-just like the white SOL
dier!
But the Army before 1t thought
about the color problem, already
had selected 49 hotels in the re-
sort centers at Miami Beach, Fla,
Ashville, N. o., Eot Springs, Ark.
Ganta Barbara, Cal, and Lake
Placid. N. Y.
AS an after thought, the Army
selected the Pershing Hotel in Chi
cago, and now the Theresa Hotel
In New York for its colored sold
1ers, These they label "for colored."
The other 40 are "for white"
The Negro press and Negro lead
erS and organizations are rightfully
raising hell about this segregation
No Negro can afford to condone
segregation! This Is true despite
the fact that the Negro soldier
who comes back undoubtedly will
have that "helluva good time" in
the Pershing and the Theresa. He
could hardly get into the frame OF
mind to go back into the town from
hotel in Miami Beach, or Ash
vile, or Hot Springs. He'd have
very little enjoyable contacts at
Santa Barbara, where there are
only handful of Negroes in the
vicinity AND how many would en-
Joy the below-zero temperatures

1t isn't the opening of the Per-

The Army would be so much wis

choice. With very few exceptions,
the Negroes would go to the Per-

who would choose 70 go elsewhere
should be permitted to do so.
But the Army's Southern hier-
