Howell Wins Over Case For New Jersey Senate
Charles Howell, Democratic candidate for the New Jersey Senate seat, won over Republican Clifford Case by a 831,000 to 821,000 vote to become the first Democratic senator from that state since 1936.
Mr. Howell is a three term congressman with a Fair Deal voting record. He has made political hay out of the Republican split over Mr. Case, which goes back to the 1952 Republic national convention when Taft supporters were sure of the New Jersey convention votes—until the state swung to Eisenhower at the last minute.
Mr. Chase was among the top Eisenhower convention supporters, and the Taft faction did not forget it at voting time yesterday.
Another set back to Mr. Case and aid to Mr. Howell was the endorsement of Mr. Case by the Americans for Democratic Action group. Mr. Case was so busy defending his name to his own party that he had little time to campaign against Mr. Howell.
Mr. Howell, during the last week the campaign, made the accusa-

Virginia "Plantations"
Going at $2 Each
M. F. Portlock Jr., plans to put a group up for sale, at $2 each His "plantations" are four inches square.
Portlock, of Richmond and Washington, D.C., owns the 104-year-old Orkney Springs hotel in the Shenandoah Valley near here. He proposes to replace the old resort hotel with a new one costing $2,000,000. His "plantation" scheme would finance the project.
Portlock figures he can get 4,752. 000 "plantations" from a three-acre plot.
With each one, Portlock would throw in a cook book card, entitle the bearer to 5 per cent discounts on Oakney Springs hotel bells, and "replices" of five Coniferate $20 bills.

Univac Predicts Democratic Sweep
New York—(U.R.) Univac, a million-dollar mechanical brain, predicted at 8:10 p.m. CST last night that the Democrats would win control of the next Senate by 56 to 39 and the next House of Representatives by 299 to 125.
Univac, a giant electronic computer made by Remington Rand, predicted the 1952 Republican landslide at 8:30 p.m. on election night.
Univac's prediction was made after scanning the 37 races for the Senate and the 33 key races among the 432 contests for the House of Representatives.
A team of electronics experts fed into the machine all the election statistics since 1944 in advance of election day. These were stored in Univac's mercury memory drum. These, plus early election returns, gave the mental marvel the quick Senate and House predictions.
Douglas Claims Apparent'Win

Chicago - (U.)P)—Democratic Sen. Paul H. Douglas claimed an "apparent victory" over Republican Joseph T. Meek early today in the key Illinois senatorial election.
Sen. Douglas spoke as he led by more than 200,0000 votes with more than half of the vote counted.

Sen. Douglas said at midnight (CST) he would not make an outright victory claim, but thanked his party workers for his "apparent victory."
Of the state's precincts reported, Sen. Douglas had 1,638,000 votes to 996,000 for Mr. Meek.
James A. Ronan, Illinois state Democratic chairman, said Douglas would win re-election to his second term by about 125,000 votes when all returns were in.
Sen. Douglas surged ahead on returns from Democratic Cook county (Chicago) and was running well in Republican downstate strongholds also. Mr. Meek was leading downstate, but his gains were slow and not matching Douglas' in Cook county.
Washington—(U,P)—For the first time in the history of senatorial elections a "write-in" candidate is leading the official party candidate in the race. Former governor J. Strom Thurmond, a democrat, is leading the official party candidate Edgar H. Brown, by a substantial margin in the early count in the South Carolina senate election.
'Write-in' Candidate Leads Senate Race
A "write-in" candidate has never won a Senate election.
Here Are New Chairmen If Demos Control Senate
If the Democratic party finally succeeds in overturning Senate Republicans, there will be new committee chairmen in the 84th Congress.
In most cases top Democrats already on existing committees will assume committee chairmanships.
Walter F. George of Georgia, top Democrat on both Finance and Foreign Relations committees, probably will move into the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations committee, with Sen. Harry F. Byrd of Virginia taking over as Finance committee chairman.
Recent deaths will cause shifting of several chairmanships.
The recent death of Pat McCarran of Nevada probably will mean that Harley M. Kilgore of West Virginia will become chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee. The death of Democrat head of the Banking and Currency committee, Burnet R. Maybank, will make J. William Fulbright of Arkansas the likely chairman of that committee.
Sen. Fulbright's state partner, John L. McClellan, probably will head the committee made famous this year by Sen. Joseph McCarthy—the Government Operations committee.
Other committees and their probable new chairmen include:
Allen J. Ellender of Louisiana, Agriculture and Forestry; Carl Hayden of Arizona, Appropriations; Richard B. Russell of Georgia, Armed Services; Matthew M. Nedyel of West Virginia, District of Columbia; James E. Murray of Montana, Interior and Insular Affairs.
Warren G. Magnuson of Washington, Interstate and Foreign Commerce; Sen. Murray, Labor and Public Welfare; Olin D. Johnston of South Carolina, Civil Service and
Furcolo Defeats Sen. Saltonstall
Foster Fucolo, Democratic candidate for senator from Massachusetts, defeated incumbent Sen. Leverett Saltonstall, Republican, who was seeking his third term, by a 376,000 to 354,000 vote.
Mr. Furolo, state treasurer and former member of Congress, is a middle-of-the-roader who has strongly criticized the left-wingers in his party. He is the first Democrat in 12 years to break through the popular Saltoninstall front, even though the state is predominantly Democratic.
Mr. Saltonstall was the majority whip in the Republican party and was considered to be one of the top Republican senate members. He was three times governor of Massachusetts and comes from a line of politically active Saltonstalls, who have held the governorship eight times.
