Nation's Newspapers Comment on Election
By UNITED PRESS
Election results naturally brought about a flurry of comments across the nation. Newspaper editorials and comments led the way. Here are a few:
The New York World-Telegraph and the Sun-In his surprise at the election returns the President didn't show any evidence of frustration or indignation. Nor any evidence he will change the course of the administration. There was nothing in the election returns to indicate the voters had any lack of confidence in Mr. Eisenhower to achieve his objectives. On the contrary, the fact that the slump in Republican strength was less than normal in off-year elections could be construed as something of a testimonial to the President.
ST. LOUIS POST DISPATCH—The Oregon result is a reputation of one of the worst of all smear efforts. Oregon voters' k e p t their yes on Sen. Cordon's record as revealed to them for the first time, on Secretary McKay's policies, and the administration's private power stand at the valuable Hell's Canyon site on the Snake river. And they went to the polls and voted in large numbers.
DALLAS TIMES - HERALD—All this confusion and the dissension in the Republican and Democratic ranks may mean that the two dominating major parties are breaking up and that the United States may soon cease to have a two-party political system.
Such a prospect cannot be contemplated without some misgiving, for a nation, as France is showing, can have too many parties—so large a number that many become only one-issue factions.
RALEIGH (N.C.) NEWS AND OBSERVER—Republicans are taking encouragement from defeat in the fact that they were not beaten as badly as they expected. No Democrat would have swapped any victory for any theory. But it is possible that Democratic hopes for 1956 are enhanced by the absence of such a landslide overturn now as would have put the Democrats in the position of the Republicans in the 80th Congress, where their failure to meet the responsibilities their numbers gave them made their party vulnerable in the presidential elections of 1948.
WISCONSIN STATE JOURNAL
—The Republicans deserved to lose this one, not because their record was bad, but because they failed to carry to the voters the story of how

good it actually was. The Republicans had a record of winning and maintaining peace, cutting taxes and beginning the tremendous job of eradicating Communists and Communist influence from government . . . But in this campaign of '54, the Republicans let the opposition call the signals.
MINNEAPOLIS. TRIBUNE: The Republican losses in Congress represent one of the mildest reactions against the party in power in the last 30 years . . . The Democratic gains are not a repudiation of the President.
DES MONES REGISTER: In a close election such as this it is impossible to read any general 'mandate' on policy. But it is safe to conclude that the people favor the main lines of policy which the Eisenhower administration has followed.
A new system is being used this year for the evaluation of students in the College who apply for admission to schools of medicine.
New Rating System Set
The pre-medical recommendations committee of the College is sending to selected instructors an evaluation card which contains questions pertaining to the applicant's fund of information, comprehension, reliability, judgment, and character.
The committee then evaluates the student on the basis of these reports. The committee's report is sent to all medical schools to which the student has applied.
Dean George R. Waggoner of the college said it is hoped that this system will result in a more realistic evaluation of the student, and that it will save time for the instructors, who in the past wrote individual letters for each student. It will also eliminate the chance of the student choosing only those instructors who would write favorable reports, the dean added.
Topeka—(U.P.)—The Kansas House of Representatives will have more Democratic members next January than at any time since the 1930s, tabulated results of Tuesday's election showed today.
Democrats Gain In Kansas House
Los Angeles—(U.P.)—University of Southern California scientists studied with intense scrutiny today a fickle tie belonging to downcast engineering student James Sharpless.
The Republicans will still control the lower chamber by a substantial 89 to 36 majority. But the Democrats almost doubled their representation, gaining 18 seats and losing two for a total of 38.
Tie Changes Color Surprises Scientists
The distressed student said that when he left home for school yesterday his tie was a bright coral color. By the time he reached class it had turned an ugly purple.
A diagnosis was conducted by Dr. Joseph Smatko, head of the chemistry department, who informed saddened Sharpless that his tie had been a victim of smog.
A seminar for student teachers returning from the seven-week teaching period in public schools will be held Monday through Wednesday.
Seminar for Teachers Held Next Week
The student teachers will meet with Dr. Karl Edwards, director of student teaching of the School of Education, and with their individual supervisors.
"I think I know the reason why he has been voted the 'Offensive Player of the Week' for the last three games."
A's Shift Sure At AL Meeting
Philadelphia - (U.P.) The rudderless Philadelphia Athletics, sold to Chicago industrialist Arnold Johnson, veered toward an American League meeting in New York next Monday for an expected shift to Kansas City.
There was nothing in the wind to indicate the eight club owners would not approve transfer of the A's and leave behind a heartsick Connie Mack and his two equally-shaken sons, Roy and Earle.
A 54-year-old institution died yesterday when the Athletics, founded by the 92-year-old "Grand Old Man" of baseball, were sold to LaTeX and three associates for $3,350,000. The sale ended a stormy, confused final three months for the club which saw a Philadelphia synidicate thwarted twice in its efforts to save the A's for this city.
Johnson plans to move the team to Kansas City but apparently must get an okay from club owners at the New York session, called by league president Will Harridge.
Approval seemed in order because Johnson said the transfer had been given a green light at a previous meeting in Chicago last Oct. 12. Nothing has appeared on the surface since to point otherwise.
