OF Two in Senate;
Soldiers Vote Needed

NEW YORK, Nov. 8. (UP)-Dem-
ocrats will have a bigger house ma
jority in the 10Th congress than
now have, results of Tuesdays elec-
ton showed Thursday, and there
will be fewer aisolationists in the
house and senate of the stamp of
Senator Gerald P. Nye CR) North
Dakota, and Representative Hamil-
ton Fish, Jr. (R) New York.
Nye and Fish and several like
minded colleagues were defeated
while number of fortnight nom
isolationiStS won election.
Although the Republicans have
an uncertain chance of picking up
an additional senate seat, they stand
to lose 18 seats in the house, anc
IN both chambers Democrats will
have comfortable ma jorities.
SENATE CHANGES
The senate will include at least
56 Democrats, 81 Republicans and
one Progressive. Close races for two
other seats in Pennsylvania and
Missouri await the count of soldier
votes. In the old congress the line
up was SO Democrats, 81 Republi-
cans, and one Progressive.
A late tabulation of house votes,
with II races still undecided, indi-
cateo that the Democrats stood to
gain Is seats for a prospective total
Of 239 while the Republicans stood
to lose 81 for an indicated new total
of 191. The old house count was
214 Democrats, four short of bare
majority; 212 Republicans, two Pro-
gressives, one Farmer Labor, one
American Labor and five vacancies.
OF 418 house contests definitely
concluded, the Democrats won 231,
Republicans 1876, American Labor
party one, and Progressive one.
STILL UNSETTLED
Yet to be concluded were four
house battles in California, at least
one of which will be decided by

Election Polls
Missed Mark:
Only One Close

NEW YORK, Nov g.. CUP) -
President Roosevelt won his fourth
term with SO more electoral votes
than even the most generous pre-
election public opinion polls fore
cast for him.
Some of the surveys did consid-
erably better, however, in predict
ing the distribution of the popu-
lar vote. One of them-the fortune
poll conducted by Elmo Roper -
apparently missed the correct
Roosevelt percentage by less than
one per cent.
A United Press tabulation as of
1915 p. m. (EWT) Thursday gave
Mr.. Roosevelt 23,367,644 against
20,517,189 for Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey, or 53.02 per cent for the
President. The Fortune poll fore
cast 536 for Mr.. Roosevelt, the
Gallup poll Sis and the Crossley
survey 51.4.
The predictions of Emil Hurja of
Pathfinder magazine, which were
DooSo Oii toiiiPAhiCc Va ~ NY
counties in Is states, were upset
by the Roosevelt victory. Other
polls gave Mr.. Roosevelt majoritieS
CT varying degrees, but Hurja pre-
dicted SO per cent of the popular
vote for Dewey.
In the distribution of electoral
votes, which late returns show to
be Alb for Mr.. Roosevelt and 11S
for Dewey, Hurja had assigned
Dewey 1854 and the President 167.
The Crossley poll appeared to
have come closest to the actua>
number of Roosevelt electoral votes.

Dewey Returns
To Albany;
Plans Vacation
BY JOHN l.. CUTTER

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov .. (UP)-
Thomas E. Dewey. defeated in his
bid for presidency of the U. S.
turned his attention again Thurs
day to the fulltime job Of being
governor of New York state.
Dewey returned to the executive
mansion in Albany Wednesday night
from New York City, where he had
received returns from Tuesdays
election which swept President
Roosevelt into a fourth term.
He told reporters he expected to
spend full day at his desk, catch
ing up on state affairs which had
been deferred during the intensive
two-months campaign.
PLANS ON REST
In the near future he hopes to
get away for a rest, possibly at Sea
Island, Georgia. He hopes he can
take along his two sons, Thomas,
Jr., ~, and John, 8, who remained
in school during the campaign.
AS he returned to Albany, Dewey
appeared to be in good spirits and
glad that the ordeal of campaign
ing from coast to coast was ended.
He was particularly gratified at
the heavy popular vote which his
party rolled up in Tuesdays cleo
ton, feeling that it indicated the
most unity shown in the Republi-
can party in IA years and demon
strated a sense of purpose and de-
votion to the country and a will
lingness to work in harmony.
SEES GOOD RESULTS
Likewise, he believed that the eff
feet OF the entire campaign would
be one of tremendous good for the
nation, particularly in relation to
unifying the country on the ques-
ton of international cooperation to
prevent future wars.
AS for the campaign as a whole,
Dewey feels that it was conducted
about as well as possible under the
difficult wartime conditions. Sources
close to the governor feel that he
did everything humanity possible to
present a fortnight program of
loyal opposition with a net effect
regardless of the election outcome
of unifying the nation in its deter
mination to speed victory and pre-
vent future wars.

ton body.
The security aspect of aviation
has been strongly emphasized by
the British countries, who would
have an aeronautical body tied to
the world security organization, and
it appeared likely this could be-
come a major conference issue.
The United States was said au-
thoritatively to oppose making the
international aviation assembly ex-
pected to grow out of the Chicago
conference an adjunct of the organ
ization envisaged in the Dumbarton
Oaks agreements.
otherwise, there appeared to be
an increasingly good prospect for
compromise between America and
Britain in which the Canadian pro-

After the committee voted down
the Anzac plan. Max Hymans,
French delegation chairman, pro-
posed the consideration of single
internationalized airline as an ex-
pertinent or at least International
ization of airmail planes. Commit
tee Chairman John Martin, of South
Africa, said, however, the proposals
were out of order and would have
to be consio cred by another group.
