 Sen. Owen Brewster. Of Maine, committee yice-chairman, told re- porters the committee had made a careful survey of the November prospect and would report to Brognell that it looks pretty en- eouraging'
 Brewster predicted the Republi- cans would win in each of the IS contests where one of their present seats is at stake and felt hopeful of gaining ''at least eight or lO' which now are held by Democrats. Among the states where he predict ed the Republicans were sure to gain. were Indiana, Illinois, Idaho and Missouri
 Those seats have not yet been subjected to the change in septi- nent over the country which has brought recent Republican gains" he said. 'srhe first test will come ip the November elections
 Despite tine claims of Sen. Harry 8. Truman, D., Mo, Democratic vice presidential nominee, that Mis- s0uri would go Democratic by iOO,- GOO votes. Brewster insisted the state would elect a Republican senator.

HOPI INDIAN
 SNAKE CLAN
 FACES DOOM

Gallup. N. M, Aug. 2S-tUpD- Throughout the lands of the Hop Indians, tribeanen are discussing the possibility that the Snake Clar of Hotevilla Village. in Arisons might die.
 The Indians. themselves will con. tinue to live, but the clan appear. doomed.
 The difficulty results from the inability Of the clan Co select . successor to the snake priest wlC died two years ago, just before be was to direct the snake dance cere. mony ''Che-chuk-ta." If no new priest is chosen, the Snake Clar will die. and with it the Snake Dance at Hotevilla.
 Under tribal tradition the new priest must be either a brother oI a nephew of the priest who died two years ago. Three men arc elig- ible, but there are difficulties i.l naming any one Of them.
 One brother has been declared ineligible because he has lived with white people. A nephew has been ruled out for the same reason.
 That narrowed the choice to one remaining brother. who was select. ed as priest and accepted the posi-. tion-and then became ill. Because of his illness. he said. he could moi take on the arduous duties of snake priest. Also. he reasoned, his illness was a sign that he should not serve in the important position.
 It was vonsidered possible that he might reconsider, but his ill. ness also has worried the elders of the village, who must name the priest.
 If nc priest can be named before time for the Snake Dance. the Snake Clan Of Hotevilla win die, leaving only two other Shipaulvi and Shungopovi--tO hold the dance this year as scheduled.
 Among the B Hopi villages. five hold the Snake Dance. Waipi and MishonRnovi held it last year. and HOtev!lla. Shipaulvi and Shungop. ovi were scheduled to hold it this year.
 The Snake Priest whose death caused the crisis at Hotevilla died just before the Snake Dance two years Rgo. It occurred during the last l2 days before the dance. too late to cancel the ceremony for that year because no tribal business can be conducted and no important decisions can be made during the I2 days of preparation immediately preceding the ritual. An old blind man was named in the emergency to take the place Of the priest. leav- ing the selection of a permanent successor until this year.
 Ne White Mans Affair
 When a new priest is named, it IS doubtful that white men will find out about it until word has gone all through the Hopi terri tory. The Hopis don't consider their rituals the business of the white man.

the Davis outfit, giving up but
five hits and walking only one
