Most politicians agreed today

Of the Senate this fall.
Senator McMahon'S death Mon

Democratic majority to three and
boosted to IS the number Of seats

AS matters now stand, there are

Democrats need only IA winners

tests are in Southern or border
States where Democrats normally

Republican enthusiasts for Gen.
Eisenhower, G. o. p. presidential
nominee, are counting on his vote
getting ability at the head of the
ticket to produce majorities in
both the House and Senate.
Boosters for Democratic nomi-

Because both vice presidential

temporarily.
However. Governors Of their

LUBBOCK. Tex, July 80
Martin Dies, who headed the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities when it was formed
in 1898, apparently had a clear
field today to return to the House
without the need for run-off
primary.
Former Lieut.. Gov. John Lee
Smith of Texas withdrew from
such a run-off which might have
been necessary. He and Mr.. Dies
led five other candidates in a
Congressman at-large election in
the Texas Democratic primary
last Saturday.
Mr.. Smith declared that Mr..
Dies won a splendid victory"
He said he would not contest the
result even If final returns showed
Mr.. Dies did not get a majority
Of all the votes. Texas election
laws call for a run-off if none of
the candidates in a primary re-
ceives q majority. The latest
count gave Mr.. Dies 586,145 and
Mr.. Smith 207,649.
Mr.. Smith said he was with
drawing because another elec-
ton would take too much time
and money. He indicated he
thought Mr.. Dies would win a
second primary, if one were held.
Election law experts said they
knew of no provision that would
prevent an automatic nomination
from going to Mr.. Dies. The
State Democratic Committee may
decide the matter when it can
vases the vote August IL.
Although Mr.. Dies may be op-
posed by Republican in the No
vember election. the Democratic
nomination practically assures
election in Texas.
Mr.. Dies, q 51-year-old lawyer
