Oregon Decides
Senate Majority
Control of the Senate in the
new Congress hinged on Ore
gon’s Neuberger - Cordon race
Thursday morning. The hotly
debated New Jersey senatorial
race is being recounted, but ap
parently has been won by Re
publican Clifford P. Case, giving
both parties 47 seats with one in
dependent, Oregon’s Senator
Wayne Morse.
After leading Tuesday night
and most of Wednesday, Senator
Guy Cordon, Oregon Republican,
began to slip behind Wednesday
afternoon as late returns began
to come in from Multnomah
county. Democratic Candidate
Richard L. Neuberger took the
lead in the late afternoon, lost it
once, and then regained the lead
with 4 precincts still out.
The Democrats can control the
Senate with 48 seats, because
Morse has said that he will vote
with them on organization.
The Republicans also need 48
seats for control, since Vice
President Nixon could cast a tie
breaking vote in their favor.
The Democrats gained control
of the House of Representatives
Wednesday, taking 232 seats to
the Republicaps’ 203.
