Democrats Lack
House Majority
By One Member

The Democrats are one short of a
majority of House seats today for
the first time since 1881, because
of vacancies, but they still retain
numerical superiority over the Re-
publicans.
Resignation yesterday of Repre-
sentative Gavagan, Democrat, of
New York to go on the bench left
this lineup: Democrats, 217; Repub-
llcans, 208; other parties, 4; vacan-
cies, 6. A majority of the full mem
bership is 218.
OF the six vacancies, two seats
were held by Republicans and four
by Democrats. Republican leaders
predict they will pick up four or five
of the vacancies.
Pennsylvania will hold special
elections next week to fill two of the
vacant seats. One is a traditionally
Republican district. The other is a
Philadelphia district that went
Democratic in the last two elections,
but by a narrow margin in 1912
A runoff primary in Alabama Feb
ruary 8 is expected to choose a
Democrat to succeed the late Rep
Iresentative Steagan. In any event,
the division between the two major
parties will be extremely close for

A UNITED STATES LIBERATOR

Polish Cabinets View
On Soviet Territorial
Due Today
Third Conference Held
Since Offer Of Curzon
Line as Boundary
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. ia state
ment setting forth Poland's re-
action to the Moscow proposal
for a solution Of the two coun-
tries territorial dispute was ex-
pected today as the Polish cab
met in London was summoned
to its third meeting in "a hours.
The Russians, while asserting they
intend to keep the bulk of the
Ukrainian and White Russian areas
incorporated into the Soviet Union
in 1899, have suggested the "Curzon
line" of 1919 as possible Russian
Polish border and emphasized that
a strong Poland, with an outlet to
the Baltic Sea, could be rebuilt with
territory taken from the Germans.
The Polish cabinet held two meet
ings yesterday and conferred with
British Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden between sessions, apparently
to learn his views before reaching a
decision.
It appeared in London that early
settlement of the dispute depended
on the degree to which the Polish
government in exile was willing to
reconstitute itself on basis friendly,
or at least agreeable, to Russia. The
Russians have objected to some
members of the government, among
them Gen. KasimierZ Sosnkowski,
commander in chief, and others of
the military organization.
An opinion widely expressed in
London was that Moscow had at
least provided a starting point for
negotiations, but if the Polish gov
ernment were not amenable the
Russians would turn to the Polish
patriot group" formed in Russia.
A bid for greater recognition of
this group was made last night by
Wiktor Grosz, a member of its
Executive Committee, who asserted
in a Moscow broadcast recorded by
United States Government monitors
that "the political attitude of the
Union of Polish Parrots has won the
confidence of the United Nations"
1--WE have separated ourselves
from the suicidal anti-Soviet policy
of the so-called London government
and have convinced the world that
all of Polish emigration is not
marching blindly into an abyss" he
declared.
