Some of the beSt-known fig

verdict today as the Nations
voters pick party line-ups for
the Seventy-ninth Congress.
Whether the Republicans can take
6 House and IL Senate seats from
Democratic holders to win control
of the country's legislative ma
chinery depends in large measure on
the success Of veteran campaigners.
The new Congress will work with
war and postwar problems of un-
precedented magnitude. That Is
particularly true of the Senate,
where two-thirds majority is re-
Iquired for ratification of-peace and
other upcoming treaties.
IS Senate Seats at Stake.
Thirty-five Senate seats, three for
short terms, are at stake. In the
435-man House, 432 races are under
way, Maine having reelected its
three Republicans in September.
Senate Majority Leader Barkley is
opposed in Kentucky by Republican
James Park. Their race tops the
list of Democratic incumbents with
fighting Republican opposition.
Eight Republicans dubbed 'isola-
tionists" by Senator Truman, Demo-
cratic vice presidential nominee, are
up for reelection. These men are
Senators Taft of Ohio, Tobey, New
Hampshire; Nye, North Dakota !;
Danaher, Connecticut; Davis, PENN
sylvania: Millikin, Colorado; Reed,
Kansas, and Wiley, Wisconsin.
The Republicans in advance
claimed victory in their efforts to
unseat Democratic Senator Gillette
of Iowa, opposed by Republican Gov.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper; Senator
Lucas, Illinois Democrat, opposed by
Richard j. Lyons of Libertyville, and
in Senate races in Missouri and
Idaho and other States where DEM
ocrats hold seats.
Curran Opposes Wagner.
Democratic Senator Wagner of
New York, 67-year-old author of the
Labor Relations Act, faces Thomas
j. Curran, 45-year-old Republican
secretary of state of New York, an
associate of Gov. Thomas e. Dewey.
On the West Coast, Democratic
Senator Downey of California has
the spirited competition of Republi-
can Lieutenant Governor Frederick
F. Houser.

DESPERATE CHINA

The situation in China, precarioLs for months, has reach
ed q most critical stage. Allied fortunes there are at a To-
ebb. For almost two years the United States 18th air force
has been the one real hope for success against the enemy. The
courage and ingenuity these airmen have displayed agar ST the
greatest odds has been one of the most glorious stories OF
American arms says the Independent-Record Herald. Now they
have been forced to destroy and evacuate their base at Kweiin,
from which they operated so successfully.
General Stllwell has a considerable force in Burma, while
the English under Lord Mountbatten are in India But neither
of these units has been able to prevent the serious reverses
which have continued in China, particularly in the Human
Kwangsi area. The Japs had centered their strength against
Kweilin and at one point were within So miles of the base when
it was evacuated.
The entire campaign in China must be reorganized. I'm
doubtedly such plans have been discussed and are in the max
ing. Chinese troops have been poorly led. There has been a
lack of unified command. Weapons have been inadequate, both
in number and efficiency. That the Chinese have fought well
and bravely is admitted.
But bravery alone cannot win in the face of such over
whelming odds. China is in a desperate situation.

We don't claim that the democracies and the re-
publics have the perfect form of government.
What political economists say is that like kiss

/ think the worst feature of form of partisan
agitation is the presidential convention in June and July
When look ahead to August I'm glad they haven't got
three parties.
The weather in any store containing 10000 customers
is bound to be thicker than elephants wrist.
When you stir it up with electric fans you are COM
pounding atmospherical negligence. Back month ago
wrote about nominating candidate when your eyeballs
feel like boiled potatoes and your breath in shorter
pants than a midgets baby
We nominate the man of our choice in June July
when you fry eggs the back Of his neck and toast
his chest. We vote for him in November when it's
cooler than two society dowagers gommng each other
through lorgnettes
We inaugurate him in January when it's colder than
polar bears insteps In other words put him to
the same tests we give paint for the old red barn.
That's as peculiar a high hat on bum. Still it's
the democratic form of government and let put
it asunder. Once again. repeat with the great Pickney
taxation without evasion is tyranny.
