v Democrats Count On Economie Discontent Among Voters To Gain Control Of Congress By JACK BELL INDIANAPOLIS (#—Democratic Ieaders made it clear today they ate counting heavily on what they described as economic discontent g the voters to gain control z Congress for their party in N- vember. National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell said in advance of a scheduled closed meeting of the party’s national committee that he thinks the country’s economic situ- ation is “‘the basic issue” on which the voters will decide between Re- publicans and Democrats. “The disappointment and disil- Tusionment of the voters in the Eisenhower administration is wide- spread,” Mitehell said in an in- terview. “But I think economics is the basic issue in this campaign.” Similarly, Paul Butler, Indiana state Democratic chairman, who said he is “available” for Mitch- ell’s job when the latter steps down after the election, said that ‘‘secu- rity for the wage earner and the farmer” is the main question on which he thinks the voters will de- cide that they want a Demoeratic Congress. James Ronan, [Illinois state chairman, professed to see ‘‘a def- inite trend cooking” ix his state for the Democrats. He said this was based on what he ‘said was dissatisfaction among the farmers over the Eisenhower admin- istration’s flexible farm price sup- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Rage 10 Friday, September 17, 1954 Overseas Transportation Company, Ine.

As they rallied here for a cam- paign kickoff meeting to be key- noted by former Gov, Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, Democrats displayed uniform optimism over their chances of capturing both the Senate and the House in the November balloting. Mitchell, who has said he wil quit as national chairman after the Noy. 2 election, said he thinks the Democrats will gain 40 seats in the House, where there now are 218 Republicans, 213 Democrats, one independent and three vacan- cies. But the national chairman said that, as of now, the battle for con- trol of the Senate “looks awfully close and has not been settled yet.” In the Senate there are 48 Re- publicans, 47 Democrats and one indpendent. The Democratic leaders, includ- ing Mitchell, were buoyed up in their hopes by the victory of a Democrat in the governor’s race in Maine and the showing of their defeated congressional candidates in that state. Edmund S. Muskie, who was elected Maine’s gover- nor, has been promoted to a speak- ing spot in tomorrow night’s din- ner, along with Stevenson and House Minority Leader Sam Ray- burn (D-Tex), Mitchell said that if there is half the gain shown by Democrats gen- erally that was registered by party members in voting percentages in Maine House races, “we will pick up 40 seats in the House.” Butler said that as he interprets the Maine results, the Democrats might pick up a net of 60 House seats. He said he thinks Indiana Democrats will start the ball roll- ing by taking four House places away from the Republicans, who now hold a 10-1 edge in this state, Ronan predicted a Democratic gain of at least four House seats in critical linois and observed that he thinks Sen, Paul Douglas, Dem- ocrat running for re-election, will defeated his Republican opponent, Joseph T. Meek, President Eisen- hower has endorsed Meek and in- directly has chided Douglas as a Democratic “prophet of gloom an doom.” MARGARET WILLING TO SPEAK FOR DEMOS INDEPENDENCE, Mo.

Moscow wants trade and is pushing for it. The fair managers boasted that you could buy anything you saw. That included giant drill presses, lathes, optical instruments, preci- sion tools, Russian and Czech auto- mobiles, weaving machines, silks, wines, porcelain and pottery en- gravings, lace and needlework pil- sen beer and Russian brandy, vod- ka and champagne. LEE ESE Detours Listed The following streets are impassable because of sewer Street. The Soviet pavilion was jammed with machinery, operating for the public. A giant statue of Stalin which once dominated an entry to the pavilion had given way to a twin statue that appeared to depict Lenin as the teacher and Stalin as the pupil; Stalin was half an inch shorter than Lenin. The Red China pavilion was the second largest. It offered silk bro- | cades, fine rugs and tapestries— and drill presses, lathes and mo- torcycles. A bronze bust of Mao Tze-tung was in the center of the hall. Leipzig Fair Shows Moscow’s Push For Trade The East German government announced that business contracts for the equivalent of nearly 400 million dollars were signed during | the 11-day fair.
