Mr.. Roosevelt's hope that a big

California favored Republican

Mr.. Nixon interpreted the vote
as mandate to continue his op-

foreign policy. He said:
"The immediate job ahead of
us is to work for lasting peace. To
that end the first step. as see it,
is for the Senate to regain its

But the race was so close that
a recount seemed a probability.

lated Mr.. Kelly on his race, but
refused to concede. No statement
was forthcoming on recount.
One Term in Office.
Nevertheless, as the returns
struggled in from the last isolated

would come in the face of strong
