Democrats Capture Control of Congress
Washington — (U.P.)— Democrats captured control of the Senate early today with an eyelash victory in Oregon that dashed Republican hopes of maintaining a partial grip on the reins of power in the 84th Congress.
The pre-election lineup was: Republicans 49, Democrats 46, Independent 1.
In a final pitter-patter of Oregon ballots that wound up the hardest fought mid-term election of recent history, Democrat Richard L. Neuberger unseated Republican Sen. Guy Cordon and gave the Democrats a gossamer grip on Senate control.
Democrats 48, Republicans 47, Independent 1.
Barring reversals by the recounts demanded by losers in the New Jersey and expected in Oregon and elsewhere, the lineup in the new Senate which meets Jan. 5 will be:
The lone Independent, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, has said he will vote with the Democrats to lose the Senate, giving them a majority.
In the House, the Democrats will have a slim working majority. The standing there on the basis of final unofficial returns:
Democrats, 232; Republicans, 203.
The pre-election lineup: Republics,
218, Democrats, 212, Independent 1 vacancies 4
Makeup of Congress
Washington —(U.P.)— Makeup of the 84th Congress:
House: Democrats 232; Republi-cans 203.
Senate: Democrats 48; Republicans 47; Independent L.
Current makeup of the 83rd Congress:
House: Republicans 218; Democrats 212; Independents 1; vacancies 4.
Senate: Republicans 49; Democrats 46; Independents 1.
That represents a Democratic gain of 20 seats over the number they held in the expiring 83rd Congress.
The see-saw Oregon race kept control of Congress in doubt for more than 24 hours and New Jersey's Senate race was even closer.
Indeed the New Jersey outcome is not finally settled yet since an official recount has been ordered of the tally which gave Republican Clifford Case Jr., a backer of President Eisenhower, a plurality of 1,392 votes over Rep. Charles R. Howell, a Democrat.
Macks Tearfully Sell Athletics
Philadelphia—(U.P.)-Th: Philadelphia Athletics, an institution set up by Connie Mack here 54 years ago, were sold to Chicago realtor Arnold Johnson for transfer to Kansas City.
Not Just Another Game-
Homecoming Spirit Sparks Players
"When two teams are fairly evenly matched, the spirit of homecoming should turn the tide in favor of the home team. I hope we can contribute something to the spirit of homecoming in 1954," Coach Mather said today.
Demos Cheer Oregon Tally
Portland, Ore.—(U.P.)-Richard L. Neuburger clinched Democratic control of the Senate today by defeating incumbent Republican Guy Cordon with a late but thumping majority from Oregon's metropolitan areas.
On the basis of unofficial but complete returns from 2,495 of the state's 2,499 precincts. Mr. Neuburger led Sen. Cordon 283,909 to 281,-482.
The quiet that prevailed in the Democratic challenger's headquarters in Portland for almost 20 hours was shattered when Multnomah county's big Portland precincts reported.
Mr. Neuberger, with a 13,000-vote deficit most of the race, caught and inched in front of his Republican opponent.
Earl Mack, with tears in his eyes, came out of a morning session at his father's apartment, "we lost out."
To prove that homecoming is not just another football weekend, two other leaders of the athletic program added news on the specialty of the occasion.
Sen. Cordon, a former Roseburg attorney who had held his Senate post for the past 10 years, refused to admit defeat. He said he would await further checking before conceding the Democratic victory.
A. C. "Dutch" Lonborg, athletic director, recalled that his two most
vivid homecoming memories involved great achievements on the football field.
Both parties requested Gov. Paul L. Patterson to enforce security measures on "every ballot box and tally sheet in the state."
Mr. Neuburger at a press conference preceding the victory celebration here said he was "proud of the clean campaign" he had conducted. The arch foe of "partnership" power development. in this power-minded region gave credit to the "dirt farmer," among others, for his slim victory.
Mr. Neuberger's wife, Maureen, was elected to the State House of Representatives—making the Neubergers the only husband and wife legislative team in the United States.
"The first occurred when I was playing my senior season here at Kansas." Mr. Lonborg said. "As in the case this Saturday, we were meeting Nebraska, and the Corn-huskers were favored even more heavily than they are this week. They played like heavy favorites, too, and led 20 to 10 at halftime. We came back in the last half to gain a 20 to 20 tie."
He also related an incident during his coaching career at Northwestern when his team was to play Minnesota, the football power which had won 28 consecutive games.
"I told the students at a rally on the eve of the game that I thought we had a fine chance to win. We did just that! We stopped them 6 to 0 in the greatest upset of the season. Nobody thought we had a chance to win except the boys and the coaching staff," Mr. Lonborg-naid.
> Asked if the club had been sold
Earle said, "yes."
"It was a tough decision," Earle added as he walked through the doorway of the apartment house with his attorney Alfred Luongo.
Mr. Johnson had left the apartment sometime earlier and announced he would make a statement within an hour.
There was no official statement other than Earle's admission of the sale. It came as a Philadelphia purchasing group waited in the lobby of the big apartment house.
Isidor Sley, one of the prospective Philadelphia buyers, said they had the money with them and offered it to the Mack family.
"We offered it last night. The checks were dated yesterday. They told us to come back at 10 o'clock this morning," he said.
"We were told Connie was too ill to be disturbed. Then they shooed into a room. The family came out into a room to wait downstairs." Mr. Slevy continued.
The Philadelphia group included Mr. Slev, automobile dealer; John Crisconi, Morton Liebman and Attorney Samuel A. Goldberg, representing T. A. Hanff, and the local syndicate as a whole.
Connie Mack, Mr. Baseball to generations of Americans, did not appear as Earle tearfully announced the fate of the team that was a tradition on the local scene for more than a half-century.
The disappointed Philadelphia group said they believed they had bought the club two weeks ago, and thought opposition might come from American league owners in Mr. Johnson's attempt to switch the team to the Midwest.
KU Band to Play For Ike in Abilene
The University band will play for President Eisenhower at the dedication of the Eisenhower memorial in Abilene Thursday, Nov. 11.
The band and a marching unit of the Navy ROTC will participate in a parade before the dedication. At the dedication of the building which is to house the articles collected by the President, the band will play "Hail to the Chief" and a brief concert. The band also will play the national anthem before the President's address.
Prof. Russell Wiley, band director, said that the University had made a special request that the President inspect the band.
