WASHING On

If the Democrats can win en-
ough seats this year to take
both Senate and House, it will
be the third time an "out" party
has accomplished the feat dur
ing the goth Century. The Re
publicans did it at the 1918 mid
term election, in Woodrow Will
sons second term, and again in
l946, when Harry S. Truman was
President.
The first time, the COP gained
over the preceding election, six
seats in the upper chamber and
81 in the House. In 1916, they
organized both chambers after
gaining 13 Senate and 56 House
seats.
The only mid-term election in
which the "inSn made gains in
both Senate and House through
wins from the opposition was il
1884, during Franklin D. Roose-
velt's first term. 1t took another
four years for the Republicans
to make any gains.
Gains by one major party have
not always exactly reflected
losses by the other. Splinter
parties, especially early in the
century, sometimes held several
seats and membership of both
House and Senate still were be-
ing increased. Neither has been
expanded since 1912.
From general election to gen
eral election, the biggest mid
term gains made in the Senate
by Democrats were in 1910 and
1884, when they picked up 10
seats. Top Senate gain by Re-
publicans, l3 seats, was in 1916
Democrats made their biggest
House gain in 1922, winning rs
more seats than they did in 1920
In 1916, the Republicans made
their heaviest gain, Sc members
over their elected membership of
1914. These figures do not take
into account fluctuations in
membership between general
elections.
In 1906 the Republicans in
power, upped their Senate mai
ority by three seats. In 1914 the
Democrats increased their bal
ance of power by five.
Political odds for or against
the Democrats getting "in" dur
ing mld-term elections must
take into consideration these
historical facts:

THE AMERICAN N4Y
Princes Of Privilege

The bureaucratic plea for the
cooperation of business, good as
it may sound, has come to be
considered the most deadly peril
confronting private enterprise.
In his report on the Bonneville
project in the Pacific Northwest,
Mr.. Robert E. Lee, Chief of Staff
Of the Appropriations Committee
Of the House Of Representatives
in the Both Congress, illustrated
the ruthless character of the
bureaucratic empire.
The report cited a memoran-
dunn on policy, issued by the
Secretary Of the Interior on
January 3, 1916, which remains
the Bible of Interior Department
empire builders. 1t states:
Active assistance, from the
very beginning Of the planning
and authorization of the project,
shall be given to the organiza-
ton of public agencies and co
operatives for the distribution
of power in each project area"
Thus the powers of govern
ment are subverted from the
function of protecting private
property to the business of com
pelling taXpaying private enter
prises to pay for their own des-
truction. This attitude is made
clear by Administrative Order
No. 33, issued by Paul J. Raver.
Bonneville administrator, dated
September 16, 1910, which,
among other things, says:
THE Bonneville Power) Ad-
ministration has a direct inter
est, in connection with its con-
struction program, in proposals.
for system-wide acquisition of
private utility properties by
public agencies"
When Len Jordan became Gov.
ernor of Idaho he learned that
the States were little more than
pawns in the hands of federal
bureaucrats. His battles against
the central planners have at least
delayed the specialization of the
Pacific Northwest. The phil
osophy of these central planners
has been well expressed by DR..
Carl D. Thompson, for many
years consultant at Bonneville.
He said.
The movement for public
super-power becomes the most
vital phase of the public owner
ship movement. The control of
electric power will obviously
carry with it the control of the
industries of the nation, the con-
troll of transportation, of mining,
Of agriculture 1t will also
dominate and determine, very
largely, the domestic life of the
people"
In this spirit of rule or ruin
the bureaucrats repeatedly ask

By Ford Executive

LEXINGTON, Va, April IT,
A Ford Motor Co. executive told
a Washington and Lee Univer-
sity audience here yesterday that
teachers should be allowed to
study communism and teach its
principles to their classes.
William T. Gossett, vice presi-
dent and general counsel of Ford,
said scholars and teachers IA
miliar with the principles of
communism would be able to
show the fallacy between COM
muniStic theory and practice.
He added. however. that known
Communists should not be al
lowed to teach in our schools.
Free inquiry, he said, is the best
weapon against intolerance, but
the Communist doctrine does
not allow free inquiry.
The teacher whose mind is not
open to free inquiry is failing in
his responsibility as a teacher,
Mr.. Gossett said. Communists.
who are not allowed to question
the Communist doctrine, are not
free to seek out knowledge and
truth, he added.

Board of Visitors of the Colum-
bia University Law School, spoke

Houston and K2 Climbers

If it had not been for some
trusting Pakistanis, DR.. Charles
S. Houston, leader of the famous
expedition that nearly scaled K2
Mountain in that country, might
still be in hook today in it's foot
hills.
At the Hotel Statler last night
he said that when the expedi-

spent $4,000 still was owed to
porters. And all the expedition
had left was about IA cents.
DR.. Houston sent cables home
to New Hampshire. Some money
was Immediately forthcoming.
Then he prevailed on the town
of Skardu to lend him about
$4,000 from its treasury of $4.-
900. This took care of every
thing.
Repayment Arranged.
DR.. Houston said repayment
was done as promptly as it could
be arranged. He said he doubt

could have been arranged so
simply in the United States.

cepted the Nations highest
honor for valor for Maj. Charles
j. Loring, jr., in an atmosphere
which brought memories of Ko-

the hundreds of airmen who
paraded before her and her chill
dren, in full dress review.
The wind at Boiling Air Force
was biting, the sky was overcast
and there was a frigid dampness
in the air. which resounded with
roar of a dozen each of T-33

From April / to Is. the de-
partment has issued only 942

About two-thirds Of the new

tags
For the first half Of the month,
631 owners were given free tags
because their tags were not con-

inspectors. and 311 owners did
not wait for officials to condemn
their tags but went to the Traf-

When police or inspectors con-
