WASHINGTON —The die is cast —it’s a Republican-dominated
Senate and a Republican-dominated House for the United States in
the two years to come. So far, in the House of Representatives, the
Republicans have elected 242 Congressmen. That’s already 24 more
than they needed for a working majority. The Democrats have
elected 181 and the American Labor party, one. In doubt still are
11 House seats. In the Senate the GOP now holds 51 seats—just two
’ thore than needed for control. The Democrats have 42 and three are
in doubt.
A late statement from, the Republican national chairman calls
“the election result more than a party victory. As for Robert Han
negan, the Democratic national committee chairman, he stressed the
great responsibility now placed on the Republicans.
President Truman has disdained any reply to a suggestion that
he resign and turn the Presidency over to a Republican. Democratic
Senator J. William Fulbright. of Arkansas has urged this move,
saying it might avoid an impasse between the White House and the
Republican-dominated Congx-ess.
WASHINGTON—The Army Air Forces came up with a spec
tacular announcement last night. It says the new six-engine army
bomber B-36 can tote an atom bomb to any inhabitated region in
the world—and then return to its base without refueling. Produc
tion of the plane—described as the world's largest bomber—already
has begun at Fort Worth, Texas.
LAKE SUCCESS, NEW YORK— Russian delegate .Andrei Vish
