Gain in Pennsylvania
Shows Trend, COP
Says; Foes Deny II
By the Associated Press

Republicans insisted today thai
the gain of House seat in key
Pennsylvania foreshadows the elec.
ton of a COP Congress in Novem-
ber, but Democrats discounted the
results as entirely local
The victory of Carl H. Hoffman
Republican, over Mrs. Marian B

But Senator Myers, Democrat, o1
Pennsylvania said there was moth
ing significant about the defeat OF
the widow of Representative J. Buel
Snyder in what Senator Myers sale
has been a close district for years
He contended to a reporter that
lack of major Statewide Demo-
cratic contest cut down the party's
vote in primary elections held the
same day.
No Active Campaign.
Democratic national headquar-
ters took the position that Mrs
Snyder had been unable to cam
paign actively and that otherwise
the results might have been diff
ferent.
The headquarters spokesman
noted that Democrat Frank Bu-
chanan, former Mayor of McKees-
port, won special election in the
33d district to fill the seat vacated
by Representative Weiss, Democrat
Mr.. Buchanan defeated John r.
Brown jr., Republican and a
former air forces pilot.
If the Democratic National Com
mittee got little solace out of the
Pennsylvania results, Chairman
Hannegan apparently was comfort
ed somewhat by what Speaker Ray
burn described as very harmo-
nious and pleasant meeting" with
House members on Capitol Hill yes
terday.
Put on the grill about contentious
of CIO influence and kindred mat
tiers, Mr.. Hannegan repeatedly
pledged the members anew that
there would be no purge" conducted
by national headquarters.
Hint of Some DiscOrd.
I'VE went over the position of the
National Committee and it was
made clear that historically we do
not take part in primary elections, :"
Mr.. Hannegan said, adding: That
has and will be our position"
Mr.. Rayburn chimed in with the
observation, The CIO-PAC doesn't
say who we support
Some of the Democrats who have
been displeased with the way Mr..
Hannegan has been running the
committee took neWsmen aside to
tell them that all wasn't quite as
harmonious as they otherwise might
have been led to believe.
The gist of this private comment
was that Mr.. Hannegan will be
watched closely to see that there is
no national committee interference
with Democrats who haven t always
supported the administration but
who want to get renominated and
! reelected as Democrats.

TT seems to me. too, that the
Presidents orders should take pre-
cedence over those of congressional
committee chairmen. After all. the
President is commander -in-chief of

Senator Hill chided Senator Walsh
and Mr.. Vinson in similar words.
1T was presumptuous of them to
attempt to speak for Congress. when
they are only two out of 531 (mem-

Il also think it was presumptuous
of them to tell a member of the

not comply with the Presidents di-
rections as Secretary of the Navy to
get together with the Secretary of
War and compromise differences.
