Democrats Win Control of House
And Topple I COP Governors
By JACK BELL
APP Political Reporter

Republicans battled desperately
today to hold the Senate as surg
ing tide of votes from yesterdays
midterm election gave Democrats
control of the House and toppled
seven COP governors.
Republican hopes of retaining
the Senate's half a loaf in the
battle over Congress focused on
tabulations in New Jersey, Mon
tana and Oregon as Democrats
won four COP seats and the Re-
publicans took three from their
opponents.
With three races undecided, the
Senate count stood:
Republicans 46, including Is
Just elected and SO followers;
Democrats, As, including %
elected yesterday and "a hold
overs; l Independent, Sen. Wayne
Morse of Oregon.
Republican Rep. George Bender
of Ohio crashed through to defeat
Democratic Sen. Thomas A. Burke
in unofficial tabulations and bring
the Republicans abreast of the
Democrats after Democratic for
mer Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney
had taken a COP seat in Wyo-
ming.
The situation in the three re-
naming critical races was this:
New Jersey-With all of the
states 1898 precincts counted Re-
publican Clifford P. Case had
856,826 votes and Democratic Rep.

Robert Strahorn on July 26 at the
Montana Station near Mile 208, on
the Alaska Railroad.

complaint, appeared before the
grand jury. At the time of the
incident, he told law enforcement

Rayburn D-Tex), apparently set
for another hitch as Speaker of
the House, said this morning he
believed the Democrats would

House members.
Rayburn commented in an in
terview from his country home
here shortly after he had talked
to national Democrat headquar-
tiers in Washington, he said.
Of the election generally:
GAS was said in the campaign l
thought the people were disap-
pointed and disillusioned by the
administration that came into
power in 1858. They expected
more than they are getting"
If the Democrats take control
of Congress, he said, "We are not
going to- hate Ike as Roose-
welt and Truman were hated. We
are not going to vote against Ike
because he is a Republican. We
will vote for things we think are
in the interest of the American
people and oppose those that are
not"
Rayburn won overwhelming re-
election yesterday to his 22nd
term in the House.

President Sees No
Reputation OF
His Administration

"a ~ L n -
WASHINGTON, R-President
Eisenhower said today he sees no
reputation or disapproval of his
administrations policies in Re-
publican loss of the House to the
Democrats.
The President also said, in re-
Spouse to question, that so far
as he can see at this time the cleo
ton outcome will have no effect
one way or the other on whether
be seeks a second term in 1856.
Eisenhower said there was
plenty of time for that decision,
and suggested that reporters wait
and see what develops.
The President told a news con-
ference he plans to consult with
the Democratic congressional
leaders-as well as Republican,
on both domestic and internation-
al matters during the new session
of Congress converting in January.
With a trace of smile, the
Chief Executive said he sees no
point in butting his head against
a stone wall.
At the time of the conference,
1920 am, EST, Democrats had
clinched control of the House.
Party control of the Senate still
was in doubt.
Eisenhower volunteered at the
outset of his session with news
men that in a lot of cases he was
absolutely astonished and sur
prised by the election outcome.
A reporter quoted Leonard W.
Hall, Republican national chair
man, as saying he did not regard
the Democratic victory in the
House and the election outcome
generally as any "break away"
from the Eisenhower Administra-
ton policies. The newsmen asked
whether the President agrees with
Hall on that.
Eisenhower replied that during
the campaign he was in a very
great number of states and he be-
lieves the great mass of the Am
erican people favor a moderate
approach in dealing with the ma
tons problems.
Eisenhower added he hesitates
to interpret the elections because
he has had very little experience
in that field. Yesterdays elections
were only the second, he said, in
which he has played an active
role.
At that point, the same reporter
Edward Pollard of the Wash
ington Post and Times Herald
asked the President specifically
whether he considered the re-
suits as reputation of the adj
ministration.
The President replied no-not
so far as he could see!
Eisenhower appeared bit grim
when he walked into the room
crowded with newsmen, but his
face broke into smile as he took
his place behind a desk.

probable that they will face more complex procedure if they desire to protect their ownership.
 Ownership statements should be filed by the new owner for each transfer or purchase of property made during the current year.
 There is no penalty for filing this statement if it is made on or before Dec. 31, 1854. It is impor- tant to show on the filing state ment that it is for 1854 trans action.
 Due to lack of funds for admin istering the Registration Law, the ownership statements that have been filed cannot be indexed and a record compiled of all reported areas at this time. The owner of private land for which ownership statement has not been filed is, however, subject to the penalty and lien for failure to file or for late filing.
 All property for which filing has not been made or for which the owner has failed to pay the late filing penalty is subject to the lien and foreclosure. This constitutes a cloud against the title. Title insurance and abstract companies generally require this cloud to be removed before they will issue title insurance or com pile complete abstract.

LOS ANGELES, R-An indict- ment charging income tax evasion has been returned against Vir- ginia Hill, 39, one-time girl friend of slain gangster Buggy Siegel, but there appears little the gov ernment can do if she remains out of this country.
 A federal grand jury indicted the statuesque brunette on charg- es of evading $50, O,18O.02 in taxes for the years 1914 through 1947.
 In 1850, Miss Hill married Hans Hauser, an Austrian-born ski in structor, and they have been liv- ing in Kloster, Switzerland and are now at Salzburgn, Austria. He is her fourth husband.

Owners Owing Penalties
 Urged to Pay Before July list

Since Jan. 1, 1854, approxi-' mately 1900 property owners in Alaska have filed their statement of ownership under the Alaska Registration Act of 1853. The ex- piration of the filing period was Dec. 31, 1853, and filings made after that date for property owned in 1853 are subject to late filing penalty of $5.
 The Territorial Dept. of Lands has sent penalty notices to all owners on record of late filing and the land commissioner estimates that approximately 50 percent of the number of penalties will be paid by June 30, 1854. The penal ties that are not paid by that date will constitute a lien against the land which will be subject to fore closure as provided for in the law.
 The first step in the foreclosure action will be the compilation of the list of owners and a descrip- ton of their property on which the lien has attached. This will be sent to the clerk of the courts in each division as soon as it can be prepared after July 1 of this year for appropriate action.
 The attorney general and the land commissioner urge those who have not paid the penalties for late filing to comply with the special notices sent them prior to July l. After that date it is quite
