 The Republicans net loss of 21 gave them an indicated total of 191. The incumbent congress has PA Democrats, PIP Republicans, four minor party members and five va cancieS.
 In the 425 contests with conclus- i've hresults, the Democrats won 238, the Republicans 1855, the American Labor Party one and the Progress Sive Party one. The outcome in two Kentucky districts still was unde- cided, and the result in five districts in Missouri, one in Pennsylvania,

 Dewey was represented as feeling the campaign demonstrated that both the Republican and Demo- cratic parties are close together on the ultimate goal but differ on where they place the emphasis on the issue.
 This feeling was based on the theory that the present administra- tion has placed emphasis on a don1- inant position for the United States, Great Britain and Russia whereas Dewey emphasized in three cam paign speeches that peace machin- cry must have the active partici- patton of all nations, great and small, if it is to succeed.

spot in England, where

hill in southern England,

Even on warm days the air felt cold
around that hill. 1t was an isolated
wooded hill above the Priory. off
the road curving up from Llttenham
Common. Spooky stories were told
about it by the people of the village.
They never gathered the sweet vio-
lets that grew at its foot.
Helen, the little daughter at the
Priory, once picked bouquet there.
She ignored superstitious risks, but
Edna, the housemaid, threw horri-
fed fit when she saw the violets
Helen had brought home
"You fetched 'em from Gallows
Hill" Edna squeaked. Them
