Reporters Predict Democrats Will Lose Majority In House
Washington. (UP)—Fifty capital correspondents can be wrong, but they think today the Democrats are going to lose next month's election.
Newsweek polled the 50 on their estimate of the outcome of the Nov. 5 voting. The consensus was that the Republicans barely would ease out the Democrats and elect 221 members to the new House of Representatives. This would be just three more than a majority.
The margin of suggested Republican victory is so close that neither party will control a working majority of the House if the correspondents are correct in their estimate of the situation. The poll will be reported in the Oct. 7 issue of Newsweek.
When the House adjourned in July the Democrats had 239 seats, the Republicans 192, and minor parties 2. There were two vacancies. A bare majority of the House takes 218 seats. The average of the correspondents' estimate of the outcome of next month's election was that the new House would consist of: Democrat, 213; Republican, 224; minor parties, 1.
Such a slender advantage would not give the Republicans a working majority, although control of the House nominally would be theirs.
Polled on the Senate, the correspondents averaged this way: Democrats 50, Republicans 46. A bare majority of the Senate takes 49 seats. When the Senate recessed in July there were 56 Democrat, 39 Republican, and one minor party member.
Seeking reasons for the foregoing estimates, Newsweek asked a number of other questions. The correspondents said the issue which would most influence voters would be:
Wesley Foundation To Begin Religious Series Sunday
"Dissatisfaction due to shortages of materials, food, clothing, and housing."
"What Beliefs Really Matter?"

"Christianity and the Living Issues of the Day," will be discussed by George Caldwell, Jim Crook, Dr. Calvin Vander Werf, of the Chemistry department. Ned Linegar, Y.M.-C.A. secretary, Dr. N. W. Storer, astronomy professor, and Mrs. T. D. Prentice.
Find A Comfortable, Dark Corner Giacobini-Zinner Is On Its Way
You and your date will have to miss closing hours if you expect to see the meteor shower expected next week, Dr. N. W. Storer, astronomy professor, predicted today.
Peak of the shower, most spectacular since 1872, probably will come about midnight Wednesday night. However, the meteors may be visible on Tuesday and Thursday nights, too.
A meteor shower of this kind is built of large numbers of particles moving in parallel lines, but due to the perspective they appear to radiate from one particular place. Professor Storer explained.
There is only one case on record of a person being struck by a meteor. An overwhelming number burn before they reach the earth. Professor Storer said.
He advised getting out in the open away from light for better observation of the display.
These meteors are headed by the Giacobini-Zinner comet, discovered in 1900, which moves in an orbit around the sun. Every six and one-half years, the comet intersects the earth's path.
It will be simpler to watch the meteor shower without a telescope. Professor Storer added, so no special astronomy sessions will be held on the roof of Lindley hall.
Rosenberg, Frick, Hess File Clemency Appeal
Nuenberg (UP) — Clemency appeals to save Alfred Rosenberg and Wilhelm Frick from death by hanging were filed by their attorneys today with the allied control council.
The comet produced an exceptionally brilliant shower visible over Europe in 1933, when observers at Malta counted 22,500 meteors in five hours. It was not seen in this country because the earth passed through the meteor stream during North American daylight hours.
Rudolf Hess' lawyer filed a 32-page appeal to the allied control council, asking it to set aside the life sentence of the former Nazi party deputy.
A similar clemency appeal for the missing Martin Bormann was filed yesterday. Joachim von Ribbentrop's lawyers said an appeal from the death sentence for the former minister would be filed today.
Rosenberg, leading ideologist o. Nazism, and Frick, one-time "protector" of Bohemia and Moravia, were among the 12 Nazi leaders sentenced to death Tuesday by the international military tribunal. The executions have been set for Oct. 16.
Barney Oldfield Dies
