In Kentucky, Mrs. Stanley D. Pace, national committeewoman, gave Republican Sen. John Sher- man Cooper a “good chance” to thwart the efforts of Democratic former Vice President Alben Bark- ley to return to the Senate. Politicians generally regard Cooper’s chances as among the least favorable of the Republican senators running re-election this year. National Committeeman G. M son Owlett was optimistic about the Republicans’ chance of gaining at least four congressional seats in Pennsylvania and of holding on to the governorship by a comfortable margin. He thought Republicans might make substantial House gains in Philadelphia. s Some other Republicans said, however, their party’s chances may not be too good unless there is an improvement in employment in the soft and hard coal regions, in railroads and steel. Given no such improvement, they thought it possible they could lose three seats. In Virginia the Republicans will be fighting to hold on to their three congressional seats which President Eisenhower’s victory in 1952 in that state helped them get. However, L. S. Parsons, vice chairman of the GOP State Com- mittee, said he was optimistic the pick up two more in the 2nd and 3rd districts. He and GOP State Chairman Ted Dalton égaid they think the principal issue will be Eisenhow- ef’s program. Maryland’s national committee- woman, Miss Bertha §.
