Northern liberal Democrats won a working majority in the 1964 landslide, used it to legislate the Great Society, and then lost effective control in 1968. on reforming the overall committee structure, in order to focus attention on key issues of energy, economic and resource policy. But if "congressional government is, indeed, what we have in store, then it is terribly important who is going to be doing the governing. And that is why, weary as voters may be with political campaigns, attention will have to be paid to the coming contests for the leadership positions in the House and Senate.

For most of the past 18 years, the House was the more conservative body, with Democrats only i arely enjoying so unless the forecasts proved wrong, they retained that control on Tuesday, by reelecting all but a handful of the 74 freshman Democrats running for reelection. The institutionalization of liberal majorities in both the House and Senate is of enormous consequence. Senate control is securely with the Democrats for at least four years. The power of incumbency makes a twice-electeHouse member almost proof from defeat in future years, so the Democrats may now operate as if they had a long-termandate for what Rep.

Once again, as has been the case for all but four of the past 44 years, the Democrats will organize the Congress, elect its leaders and committee chairmen and set its agenda of legislation, investigation and oversight. No such nearly continuous period of one party control has been seen since the post-Civ- il War period.

Hes also managed to boil down 170,000 different descriptive medical terms to fewer than 30,000.

If one accepts that suspicion as fact, it is logical to assume that Maos death coupled with the ascent to power of Chinas moderate faction is the first step toward bridging the great schism that split world communism in the 1980s. So far, though, no signs of this unifying process are apparent. In fact the few public statements that have emanated from Moscow and Peking since the passing of the "Great Helmsman have been as bellicose as ever. F'cr A.mcr'csn po!icyn?ikcTs tills situation is not unwelcome. The Russians' enthusiasm for detente with the NATO nations is, in part, the result of their desire to avoid simultaneous hostilities on their eastern and western borders. Thus, as long as China remains antagonistic toward the Soviet Uhjou, th Ru?$hns sr unlikely to undertake aggressive initiatives in Europe. Equally Welcome feed is Meanwhile, the equally welcome among Use Communist Governments of Eastern Europe. That is where strange as it may seem Marxim's most disruptive schism actually began. In 1956 unrest was stirring throughout the Eastern European sphere of influence so carefully constructed by Josef Stalin after World War II. Dissatisfaction was particularly acute in Hungary and Poland. In early October strikes cud ...A WU0U students and workers. After more than a week of Indecision, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was on the brink of approving armed intervention by Russian troops. Informed of the impending military incursion, the Chinese quickly approached the Soviet leader and urged restraint. Peking argued that so long as the Polish Communist Party remained essentially intact, the imposition of a military solution from outside would probably be counterproductive. Therefore, China advised, the Russians should seek a political solution. Khruschev agreed and ordered the existing Polish government to resign. This cleared the way for a new generation of Polish Communists to take power and, following relatively minor cosmetic reforms, they were able to restore internal stability. Hungary Rebellion But while the situation in Poland was still simmering, Hungarian discontent flared into a national armed rebellion. Pleased by the success of his diplomatic strategy in Poland, Khruschev initially sought a political solution to the Hungarian insurrection as well. Again, however, the Chinese intervened, though this time they counseled immediate military action. The situation in Hungary, they argued, was fundamentally different from that in Poland, since it involved an active revolt against communism itseii and not against a particular ruling clique. Moreover, the organizational structure of the Hungarian party had been all but destroyed by the insurgents. Within days, Khruschev accepted the Chinese analysis and approved an invasion of Hungary. . Pekings motivation in all this was China was clear. During the still economically and militarily weak and one of the keys to its survival was support from a united Communist world. For better or worse, the Soviet Union was the linchpin of that unity. Thus, no matter how badly the Russians mismanaged their relations with other Communist nations, the Chinese couid not allow them to become totally disci edited. Indeed, it was this consideration that led the Chinese to undertake a diplomatic initiative of their own. Relations Still Strained active unrest had been 1957, By Sino-Sovi- et A Joan Beck and Not: .

Because Chinese diplomacy is almost always characterized by great tact and sensitivity, it has made significant inroads.

Indeed, the result of the confrontation between Moscow ana Peking has been increased Chinese penetration of Eastern Europe ar.d greater independence for the national parties there. Today, the flourishing Communist movements in Poland, Hungary and Romaiiia look almost as often to Peking for ideological inspiration as they do to Moscow. appear heavy-hande- and d au- thoritarian, and suffer by comparison.

You just had to watch for a visible reaction when a person was stung by a bee, yellow jacket, hornet or wasp. This reaction could be swelling all over-- the body, shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, dizziness, fainting and even, in rare cases, collapse of the vascular system, swelling ot the upper respiratory tract and death. But now a laboratory test has been developed that can identify people who are susceptible and those who are not.

Then, in a dazzling display of what we now call shuttle diplomacy, Chinese Premier Chou En-lvisited Warsaw, Budapest and Moscow. When his trip was over, unity had been restored. Though he was subsequently treated as a hero at the Kremlin, Chou firmly rebuked the Soviet leaders for their bungling In Eastern Europe and charged that the whole afiair had been needlessly complicated by the Soviet failure "to consult with the fraternal panies in advance." If the Russians found this unsettling, they soon had reason for even greater apprehension. Disillusioned by what he regarded as a major demonstration of Soviet incompetency, Mao began to issue statements on the proper relations between Communist states. His message was direct: The Soviet Union could no longer be depended on to exercise leadership m the Communist worid. For this reason, if a repetition of the events in Eastern Europe was to be avoided. Russian dominance would have to give way to cooperation and consultation between all fraternal Communist governments.
