OF course this proposal, If

a serious blunder in allowing

They miscalculated the re-

OF course, they have never

1t is apparent that there

but the number was propor-

something less than a man

At the same time, his VIC
tory rests upon the strangely
diSparate major elements Of
his long-lived party-its pull
in the big States and in the
South. This combination
added up to stalemate in the
Congress during the last four
Eisenhower years, despite
heavy Democratic majorities
in both House and Senate.
The congressional ratios
were altered very little by

and the Democratic balance

was also little affected, if at
all. Compromise and concilia-
ton are thus indicated for
the new President despite the
promises he has made.
In this connection it is
noteworthy that Senate
Majority Leader Lyndon
johnson instantly said he
would not resign his Senate
seat until the very last min
ute before his Inauguration
as Vice President January 20
next. This decision will give
him a vote on the choice Of
his successor as leader and,
indeed, proves what no one

is that he intends to play q

that one candidate was better

Moscow naturally is rejoicing

Just what did decide the
election? Nobody can prove
his thesis absolutely. but it
turns out that the pre-
election polls were accurate
in their forecasts of the close
ness of the vote. Hence. it is
logical to believe that the
polls were also accurate in
diagnosing in advance the
tremendous part the So
called religious issue played
in the final voting.
This correspondent wrote
last week that Senator Ken
nedy's election was assured
by reason of a shift of about
5 million Catholics from their
vote four years ago for the
Republican ticket to the
Democratic ticket this year.
The forecast was based on
the results of the Gallup Poll
which showed that the Cath
olics, who had voted 81 per
cent Democratic in 1856.
would vote 70 per cent Demo-
cratic in 1860. No other
religious. group or minority
bloc showed any such shift
in the Gallup Poll.
1t was easy enough to
calculate the popular vote by
