In each non-presidential year since then, the Republicans have made gains. Four years ago they { they have been unable to translate any of those gains into a presi-| dential victory two years later. The results generally appeared to add up to a setback for Mr. Tru- man’s foreign and domestic policies. One Hard Blow The defeat of Lucas in Illinois was regarded as a particular blow to the Administration’s handling of | international affairs. Although the Democratic defections in a bitter cut Lucas’ strength in that custom- | ery stronghold. Lucas has charged his victorious Republican opponent, former Rep. Everett Dirksen, with holding “is- olationist” views. In California Similarly, Rep. Helen Gahagan sident Truman for her suppoirt of his foreign policies, was trailing .. Republican opponent, Rep. Richard { M. Nixon, in the California Senate race. Nixon is a member of the House committee on Un-American Activ- ities and a critic of alleged Com- | munist infiltration into government. | CRITICS OF 'FAIRDEAL" | VICTORIOUS (By the Associaetd Press) Senator Homer E. Capehart, In- diana Republican, who had criti- cized severely the administration’s handling of international issues and the President’s “Fair Deal” pro- gram, won in Indiana. Senator Henry C.

WARREN SWEEPS T0 VICTORY OVER JAMES ROOSEVELT SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 8—(#— A landslide vote tumbled Democrat James Roosevelt’s political dreams | teday and swept Republican Earl Warren into an unprecedented third term as California’s governor. Returns from yesterday’s possibly record balloting piled up the great- est election victory in Warren’s long career. His amazing majority, climbing toward the 900,000 mark, presaged new national attention for the big, popular vote-getter.

I am so sorry,” Mr. Truman was quoted by Ross. "FAIR DEAL” PROGRAM IS BIGISSUE Truman’s Plans May Be Put on lce-New Coali- tion Is Possibility By Francis M. LeMay WASHINGTON, Nov. 8—{#—The election slash of Democratic power | in Congress threatened today to put on ice—for at least 4wo.years—uhe | remaining major portions of Pre- sident Truman’s “Fair Deal” dom- estic program. ‘The narrow margin*of Democratic victory opened the way for a new coalition of Republicans and south- | ern anti-Truman Democrats which may promptly seize legislative con- trol when the 82nd Congress con- venes in January. Southern anti-Truman Democrats are put in the position where they again may wield the balance of power in the House and Senate. In the past when Republicans were fairly close to numerical con- trol, southerners in the House of- | ten threw a bloc of ‘30 or more votes to the support of the GOP leadership to defeat Administration measures, Republican Up-surge Late returns from yesterday's elections, with its upsurge of favor for Republicans and the tumbling of Mr. Truman'’s top Senate command, gave Democrats shaky control in both Houses. % In the Senate their margin was 49 to 47. With few scattered House races still not decided, indications were that the majority there would be about 20 votes. i Present Lineup The present Democratic majorities are 54 to 42 in the Senate and 259 to 169 in the House, with six va- cancies and one American Labor Party member. He is Rep. Marcan- tonio of New York, who was defeat- ed. The election returns raised ques- tons about the lame duck session of Congress that will convene Nov. Mr. Truman. Washington, and the whole country as well, wondered: Big Questions Arise Will the Administration, before the newly-elected Congress takes | | Al ~ (OMEBACK IN NATION Senate Adm istration Leaders Mowed Down- Truman'’s Policies Hit By JACK BELL (Associated Press Political Reporter) Democrats held onto shaky control of Congress today after Republicans mowed down Senate Administration leaders in a stunning vote assault on President Truman’s policies. So strong was the GOP comeback from the Presidential year defeat of 1948 that the new Senate, meet- ing in January, will line up with 49 Democrats and 47 Republicans, Republican Gains That change represented a gain of six seats for the Republicans— in California, Idaho, Illinois, Mary- land, Pennsylvania and Utah—off- set in part by the loss of that held by Senator Forrest Donnell of Mis- |souri. The Senate division was the closest since -1830. A few House races remained to be decided but the Democrats had won mathematical control and seemed to be pointed to a majority over the Republicans of about 20 seats. Lucas, Myers Lose In an anti-Truman Administra- tion phalanx, Republican oppon- ents bowled over Senators . Scott W. Lucas of Illinois, the Democratic sweep that saw only one GOP Sen- ator defeated. He was Senator Donnell, who lost to Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., in Mr, Truman's home state. The Presi- dent had given belated support to Hennings after opposing him in the primary. Causes For Defeat The GOP victories—which includ- ed the re-election of “Mr. Repub- lican,” Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio—were variously attributed to the adverse turn of the Korean war, criticism of ghe President's foreign policy decisions, opposition to his domestic “Fair Deal” pro- gram and reaction to Communist- in-Government _charges, Tydings, Thomas Dropped Along with Lucas and Myers, vet- eran Democratic Senators Millard E. Tydings of Maryland and Elbert D. Thomas of Utah went down to de- feat before Republican opponents, four Democrats have been strong supporters of the President's foreign policies, with only Tydings wavering at times in support of Ad- ministration domestic proposals. Thomas, as chairman of the Sen- ate Labor Committee, had led a futile administration drive to repeal the Taft-Hartley Labor Act—one {of Mr. Truman’s pet legislative 2ims. Other GOP Gaines Other seats which had been filled by Democrats were won by Re- jpublicans Herman Welker in Idaho and Rep. Richard M. Nixon of Cal- ifornia. Nixon beat Rep. Helen Ga- hagan Douglas, Democrat, recently praised by the President for her support of his foreign policies. Along with Taft, Senator Eu- gene Millikin of Colorado, chair- man of the conference of Republi- can Senators, won reelection. He de- feated a strong “Fair Deal” support- er in Democrat Rep. John A.
