In the 1955-56 session, they con-
trolled the Senate 1875 and the

Thus Tuesdays balloting widen
ed the margin in the Senate, but
made a substantial reduction in
the Democrats House majority.
With 19 votes in the lower cham
ber. the Democrats will have only
one more than simple majority.
They will not have the three-fifths
needed to override any vetoes by

of one Senate seat and a net loss
of eight House seats.
