Democrats Gain in Senate,
Net Loss in House Small

South Dakota and Indiana,
where the veteran Senator
Capehart was beaten. Re-
publieans offset those gains
to some extent by winning
Democratic held seats in Colo
RADIO and wyoming.
The most spectacular upsets
in House races occurred in the
South. Republicans added five
to the six they already had.
This incidentally gave the
House two Broyhills. James T.
Broyhill, Republican victor in
the North Carolina 9th district,
will join Republican Repre-
sentative Joel T. Broyhill, re-
elected yesterday in Virginia.
Other incoming House Re-
publicans from the no-longer-
so-solid Democratic South are
Edward T. Gurney of Florida,
Brock of Tennessee and M. G..
Snyder of Kentucky.
G. o. P. jubilation at those
inroads, however, was tenn
pered by upset losses their cam
didates suffered elsewhere.
The most prominent Republi-
can House casualty was Repre-
sentative Judd of Minnesota, a
20-year House veteran. AS a
high ranking minority member
of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, he often was influential in
mastering Republican support
especially for foreign aid
measures.
His Democratic successor,
Minnesota State Senator Dom
aid M. Fraser, SO, campaigned
for President Kennedy and
promised support for New
Frontier administration pro-
grams.
The administration lost g

Mack of Illinois. He fell tc
