Southern democrats al- ready have rejected three senators for renomination and forced a fourth | —Thomas J. Helin, of Alabama—to | Irun as an independent. Fight For Office Those senators who have weath- |ered the primary battles in most in- stances are fighting for their poli- {tical lives in the forthcoming elec- ion. The assault on the office hold- ers does not seem to have affected the house members so much, al- though the primaries have shown considerable reaction against housz incumbents. Of the 11 senators who retire aft- er the next election, five were de- feated for renomination and six de- clined to run again. Those who have been defeated for the party | wominations are: Republicans, De- neen. Illinois; and Grundy, Penn sylvapia. Democrats, ~ Simmons, | North Carolina: Blease, South Caro- lina, and Ransdell, Louisiana.. The following six republican sen- ators declined to run for reelection —Baird, New Jersev: Gillett, Mas- sachusetts: Goff, West Virginia: Gould, Maine: Phipps, Colorado, and Sullivan, Wyoming. Senator Brock, | democrat, Tennessee. also will retirs {but he isyrunning for election to complete the short unexpired term of the late Senator Tyson. Among prominent senators who |have beaten down opposition are | Senators Robinson of Arkansas, the | minority leader; Norris of Nebra- ska, republican independent: Couz- | e republican, Michigan, and | Sheppard, democrat, Texas. Senator | Borah. republican, Idaho, is up fcr‘: reelection this vear but he has en- | countered no difficulties.~ | Control Still In Doubt Whether the republicans or dem- |ocrats will control the next senate is still to be determined in the forthcoming election. The republi- |cans now have 56 of the 96 mem- |bers, the democrats 39 and the farmer labor one. Of the senate seats involved in | the election this year, 22 are held by repuyblicans and 13 by democrats. Thus, the odds are against the re- | publicans but whether the demo- crats can overturn sufficient incum- bents to get the majority is proble- matical. They are making the | claim only of a “fifty-fifty” chance. |Rocketeller to Build i Road to Aid Werkers 1‘ Bar Harbor, Me., Sept. 11 (UP)— 'A new project designed to aid the | unemployment situation is contem- plated by John D.
