the Republican party made sweeping gains in the senate and house in one of the most hotly contested national elections in years As final tabulations were being completed observers believed that the Democrats would retain 49 sen ate seats and the Republicans would have 47 To aU practical purposes the Republicans will have a working majority In the senate and will control legislative voting with the aid of rebellious southern Demo crats In the house the Republicans made sweeping gains but nut enough for control Most startling aspect of the election In the opinion of most observers was the defeat of such men as Democrat Sen Millard E of Maryland and Sen Scott Lucas of Illinois Lucas was the Democratic majority leader tn the senate and was a strong supporter of the administration and the state department In Ohio Sen Robert A Taft won a resounding victory over the Foreign purge attempt policy played an Important part in Taft’s campaign and the results of the battle may shake the foundations of the Republican party Some observers saw Taft’s victory as a plain indication that the people were not happy with the administration's foreign policy The administration took another blow in Connecticut Republican John Davis Lodge ousted Fair Deal Democrat Chester Bowles in the governor’s contest Democrat Sen Brlen McMahon however was reelected In New York Gov Thomas E Republican Dewey nominee for president won a third term as governor of that state The governor’s running mate Lt Gov Joe R Hanley was defeated by Sen Herbert Lehman Here again was evidence of that trend where neither Republicans or Democrats were able to sweep all offices This split across party lines was evident In many sections of the country In California Republican Gov Earl Warren seeking a third term over James Roosewon velt son of the late President Rep Richard M Nixon also defeated Democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas In a senatorial battle In a congressional fight that atattention tracted -Labor party Rep

InvaPosion of Chinese Communists litical observers termed the situation serious Including Gen Dougcomlas MacArthur the UN mander According to available reports between three and six Chinese divisions crossed the boundary between Manchuria and Korea and went Into battle beside the North Korean The immediate military result was a withdrawal of U N troops south tn some instances as much as SO miles MacArthur summed up the situation by reporting that the North Korean army was finished as a fighting force In October by the Inflicting of 335000 casualties This Included 135000 Reds who were captured

available in Manchuria about 300000 troops— veterans of Ih Chines civil war— which could be thrown into the battle immediately Another 300000 are believed to be either in Manchuria or North China The
