Those Who Supported

tuesdays Election
(By Associated Press

The results of yesterdays cleo
ton parallelled those of every OFF,
year election since 1894, when Dem
ocrats riding the crest of the early
New Deal years bolstered their
strength in Congress.
In each presidential year
since then, the Republicans have
made gains Four years ago they
took over control of Congress. But
they have been unable to translate
any of those gains into a presi-
Dental victory two years later.
The results generally appeared to
add up to a setback for Mr.. Tru-
mans foreign and domestic policies.
One Hard Blow
The defeat of Lucas in Illinois
was regarded as a particular blow
to the Administrations handling of
international affairs. Although the
Democratic defections in a bitter
sheriff's race in Chicago may have
cut Lucas strength in that custom
cry stronghold.
Lucas has charged his victorious
opponent, former Rep.
Everett. Dirksen, with holding "is-
views.
In California
Similarly. Rep. Helen Gahagan
Douglas, praised recently by Pre-
sident Truman for her support Of
his foreign policies, was trailing tF
opponent, Rep. Richard
M. Nixon, in the California Senate
race.
Nixon is a member of the House
committee on Un-American Activ-
tiles and a critic of alleged Com
munist infiltration into government.

PRESIDENTIAL
Possibilities
ARE LINING UP
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press
Republican Harold E. Stassen, a
1852 COP Presidential possibility,
said of Taft's reelection:
1.-The results indicate that the
laboring men make up their own
minds and don't let the bosses
tell them how to vote. That's
very wholesome thing"
Taft's reelection puts him into
the Republican Presidential calcu-
lations for 1852. His margin of
victory over his Democratic oppon-
ent, State Auditor Joseph Ferguson,
was decisive enough to tab the
Ohio Republican as a vote getter.
Dewey's substantial victory in his
third term race in New York kept
him in position to control that
states delegation to the 1852 COP
nominating convention.
Gov. Earl Warren's big lead over
James Roosevelt for the California
governorship also put Warren high
up on the Republican Presidential
possibility lists.

FAIR DEAL"
PROGRAM IS
BIG ISSUE
Humans Plans May Be
Put on lle-New CoaIi-
tion Is Possibility
By Francis M. LeMay

WASHINGTON. Nov. 8-IR-The
election slash of Democratic power
in Congress threatened today to put
on ice--for at least two years---the
remaining major portions of Pre-
sident Truman's Fair Deal" DOM
este program.
The narrow margin of Democratic
victory opened the way for a new
coalition of Republicans and south
ern anti-Truman Democrats which
may promptly seize legislative con-
troll when the 82nd Congress con-
venes in January.
Southern anti-Truman Democrats
are put in the position where they
again may WELD the balance of
power in the House and Senate.
In the past when Republicans
were fairly close to numerical con-
troll, southerners in the House Of
ten threw a bloc of 80 or more
votes to the support of the COP
leadership to defeat Administration
measures.
Republican Up-surge
Late returns from yesterdays
elections, with its upsurge of favor
for Republicans and the tumbling of
Mr.. Truman's top Senate command,
gave Democrats shaky control in
both Houses.
In the Senate their margin was
40 to At. With few scattered House
races still not decided. indications
were that the majority there would
be about 20 votes.
Present Lineup
The present Democratic ma jorities
are 81 to AZ in the Senate and 259
to 1859 in the House, with six va
cancies and one American Labor
Party member. He is Rep. Marcan-
ionic of New York, who was defeat
ed.
The election returns raised ques-
lions about the lame duck session
OF Congress that will convene Nov.
27-perhaps earlier by special call of
Mr.. Truman. Washington, and the
whole country as well, wondered:
Big Questions Arise
Will the Administration, before
the newly elected Congress takes
over in January, attempt to press

THE FIRST CALL was on a man
1 named Simons in the suburban
town Of Sharonfield. Mrs. Simons
answered their knock.
Harry is away. Is there any,

Following previous instruc-

said: 1--WE made a mistake in

There was small den off the liv-

Simons began opening drawers
and peering into them. For a mo-

ward and snatched something from
one Of the drawers.
Before the startled eyes OF Mrs.
Simons and the astonished gaze Of
President jackson, he strobe over
to window, studied the thing.
"Simon's our man." he said.
"This proves it. Now" He broke
off as the front door opened and
