No Apparent Shift In House, Senate
i Compiled from UPI
a By Zeke Wigglesworth
It was apparent on the basis of late-evening returns last night that the Democratic Party had retained control of the Senate and House of Representatives.
And by 12:30 this morning, in an election marked by a new record voter turnout for an off-year election, Democrats had won control of 254 of the 435 disputed House seats and were heavy favorites in 9 others. Republican candidates had secured control of 163 seats.
In Senate races, the GOP had won nine Senate seats and was leading in four others. The Democrats had captured 18 seats and led in 7 others.
In the tightly-fought guille- elected 11 and were leading in 9 others. The Republican hopefuls had captured 11 also, and were leading in three.
ALTHOUGH IT WAS clearly a Democratic victory, the election gave the GOP enough courage to rattle sabers at the Democrats.
William E. Miller, chairman of the Republican National Committee, said that "Republicans everywhere have a right to be proud of the accomplishment of our party this day." He said the GOP showing in the South was "nothing short of miraculous."
THE REPUBLICANS FORESEE a shift in their House power significant enough to give them a "whip hand" on many legislative proposals during the next two years.
(The Republicans nailed down nine House seats in the South—more than at any time since Reconstruction days. Prior to yesterday's balloting the GOP high point in the 11 states of the old Confederacy this century had been the seven they had held since 1954.)
(Some of President Kennedy's controversial bills were passed or defeated by slim margins during the 87th Congress.)
Even with the Democratic victories, the possibility still exists that conservative Democrats will team up with Republicans to defeat the New Frontier's legislative proposals.
The Republican high command conceded well before midnight that the GOP would fall short of procuring the 44 new seats they needed to win a majority control of the House.
ON THE BASIS of mid-evening returns, Albert E. Hermann, campaign director for the Republican National Committee, said he expected to pick up between 10 to 20 House seats.
Just before 10 p.m. Chairman Miller predicted that the GOP would win 8 to 10 governorships, 20 House seats and would be able to hold its own in the Senate. By 12 last night, it appeared that the new Senate will closely resemble the last one. Democrats were holding their own, but that was about all.
The Republican Party has been trying to regain control of Congress since they lost it in 1954.
NO FIRM PATTERNS had been established by early evening, particularly in heated races involving nationally-prominent candidates like Nelson A. Rockefeller, Richard M. Nixon, and Edward M. (Ted) Kennedy, the President's brother.
Generally good weather across the United States aided the record turnout, which is the highest since the off-year election in 1958. The vote was expected to be 50 million over the 50 states. Democrats had said in advance that a large turnout of voters would aid their election chances.
The President's handling of the Cuban crisis and a number of hotly-wagged state level races aided the voter turnout.

Kansas Victory Party Is Calm
In Kansas last night it was hard to find the hoots and hollers that usually accompany a political victory.
Such was the case in Lawrence.
About 55 persons, including a few democrats, who stopped by for the free liquor, gathered quietly in the ballroom of the Eldridge Hotel at 8 p.m. for the victory party of Congressman Bob Ellsworth.
Ellsworth did not arrive until almost 11 p.m. and those who stayed for his arrival gave him a polite cheer to the accompaniment of radio music.
SMALL GROUPS CLUSTERED quietly about the room watching the three portable television sets which had been set up for the event. The only race which seemed to enthuse anyone was the see-sawing results in the Nixon-Brown conflict.
One man, who got tired of waiting for Ellsworth grabbed a bottle of bourbon and said as he left. "Hell, we knew who was going to win last month. Don't know why they even bother to celebrate any more."

GENEVA — (UPI) — The United States told the Soviet Union again today it is not "irrevocably wedded" to the idea of on-site inspection of underground nuclear tests if the Russians can prove that such inspection is unnecessary.

U.S. Nuclear Stand Is Flexible
But, American delegate David E. Mark told the test ban sub-committee of the 17-nation disarmament conference, the Russians must show more willingness than they have to date.
The three-nation sub-committee (Britain, the U.S., and the Soviet Union) met for three hours today, its 42nd meeting. No progress was made toward a test ban and the next meeting was set for Nov. 13, day after the main conference is scheduled to reopen here.
Sick Geraniums?
COLLEGE STATION Tex.—(UPI)
— If your geraniums are the victims of a strange germ, the Texas A&M extension service suggests a check for the hard-to-diagnose verticillium wilt disease.
Dr. Harlan Smith, plant pathologist, said the disease is often confused with bacterial rot and plants are thus treated for the wrong condition.
Mark, sitting in for Ambassador Charles C. Stelle told the Russians at today's session the United States and Britain do not want to postpone signing a test ban treaty "until the indefinite future when science has made national verifications systems fully reliable."
He said the West wants a treaty immediately which would have built-in controls while at the same time permitting modifications "when technical conditions so warrant."

At Western Electric, in addition to the normal learning-while-doing, engineers are encouraged to move ahead in their fields by several types of educational programs. Western maintains its own full-time graduate engineering training program, seven formal management courses, and a tuition refund plan for out-of-hours college study.
There's no place at Western Electric for engineers who feel that college diplomas signify the end of their education. However, if a man can meet our quality standards and feels that he is really just beginning to learn . . . and if he is ready to launch his career where learning is an important part of the job and where graduate-level training on and off the job is encouraged - we want and need him.
Learning never stops for engineers at Western Electric
This learning atmosphere is just one reason why a career at Western Electric is so stimulating. Of equal importance, however, is the nature of the work we do. Our new engineers are taking part in projects that implement the whole art of modern telephony, from high-speed sound transmission and solar cells to electronic telephone offices and computer-controlled production techniques.
to Western Electric at one of the best times in the company's history. In the management area alone, several thousand supervisory jobs are expected to open up to W.E. people within the next 10 years. And our work of building communications equipment and systems becomes increasingly challenging and important as the communications needs of our nation and the world continue to increase.
Challenging opportunities exist now at Western Electric for electrical, mechanical, industrial, and chemical engineers, as well as physical science, liberal arts, and business majors. All qualified applicants will receive careful consideration for employment without regard to race, creed, color or national origin.
