the labor control law passed by the

which labor described as "a slave

Union leaders now look to the

Even with the great Democratic
labor sweep, it is far from certain
that the law will be rubbed of the

Recognition Of UEW
By the Associated Press

The Atomic Energy Commission
today ordered the General Electric

recognition from the CIO United
Electrical Workers Union in atomic
energy plants operated by the COM
pany in the Schenectady, N. Y.
area.
Commission Chairman David E
Lilienthal told GE President Charles
E. Wilson the action was made
necessary" by refusal of union Off
GERS to submit to loyalty investiga-
tions and their failure to take non-
Communist oaths under the Taft
Hartley law.
The union previously had been
barred from representing workers at
any new A-bomb plants. However
the union still was bargaining agent
for workers at the GE-operated
Peeks Street atomic laboratory in
Schenectady.
The commission last month
warned the union it would be Qusted
from atomic plants unless its officers
disavowed any links with COM
munism.
MIR. Lilienthal said today the
commission had asked the union to
take part 'in a fuller exploration OF
the issue" but replies from union
officers make it apparent they do not
intend to do so.
The union has sued the commits
sion and GE for $1,000, 900 damage
as result of Mr.. Lilienthal's first

By J. A. O'Leor

The Democrats will control
the Senate in the new Congress.
They already have captured
seven Republican seats, while
the Republicans at a late hour
this morning had made no gains,
Although seven contests are still
undecided, the trend indicates
the Democrats may pick up two
more, for a final gain of nine
seats.
II that happens the Senate will
wind up 81 Democrats to AZ Repub-
licans. At present the standing is
81 Republicans and As Democrats.
The remaining returns. therefore,
appeared likely to determine only
the margin of Democratic control.
In the unexpected wave Of Demo-
cratic votes. these Republican Sem
ators went down to defeat:
c. Wayland Brooks of Illinois, an
isolationist, who lost to Democrat
Paul II. Douglas.
George A. Wilson of Iowa, who
lost to popular former Democra-
tic Senator. Guy M. Gillette.
Ball Is Beaten.
Joseph H. Ball of Minnesota, who
was beaten by dynamic Mayor Hu-
bert Humphrey of Minneapolis, who
played a leading role in the fight
for o strong civil rights plank at
the Democratic National conven-
ton.
Chapman Revercomb of West Vir-
ginia, whose defeat brings another
familiar face-Matthew NJ. Nicely

served formerly in the Senate and
House.
Edward v. Robertson of wyoming
beaten by Democratic Gov. Lester
c. Hunt.
c. Douglass Buck Of Delaware
beaten by j. Allen Frear, jr., Demo-
crat.
The seventh gain was in Okla
homa, where a former Democratic
Governor, Robert S. Kerr, defeated
a Republican House member. Ross
Ridley. for the seat voluntarily re-
linquished by Senator Moore. a
Republican.
Division Of Membership.
Here Is how the total membership
of the Senate lined up early today
counting those not up for re-elec-
ton yesterday:

initely elected yesterday, 10
Total. 40.
-Holdovers, 80; elect
ed, Z Total, 40.
In the seven remaining contests
the Democrats are leading in 5. the
Republicans in 2. If that trend
continues the final makeup of the
Senate will be:
Democrats, 81: Republicans, A.
Only 40 is necessary for majority.
Here are late figures on the seven
Senate races still not marked def
nitely closed:
