Shifts in Next Congress !
Voting control of House and Senate will
pass to the Democrats iri the 84th: Congress,
The shift, however, will for the most part
merely resore old names and faces to fa
miliar posts.' Again the South will assume
predominance in legislative machinery. Sam
Ray burn of Texas, who already has served
longer as Speaker than any other man, again
will wield. the gavel in the House. Vice
President Nixon will preside in the Senate,
but the Democrats will choose a president
pro tem in the Senate. ; ! ' i
The lineup of committee chairmanships
will be about as follows: The seniority rule
governs, but no senator may serve as chair
man of more .than one mmittee, so one
who is ranking member on two committees
must make a choice for the chairmanship.

Among the Democrats, young
Roosevelt Is the biggest loser :
because of his defeat ia New
York: aad the biggest gainers
are AvereO Harrlnum, because
of his hair's breadth success,
and the Dbdeerat, J. Strom

precedented write-in victory la

Ohio.
But for the future, the Repub
lican response to this election is
really more interesting than the
Democratic response. Although
they all know the off-year rules,
although they all are pleased and
surprised that the party did so
well, the Republicans can easily
respond i to their set-back by
adopting counsels of despair. But
if they are venomous and des
perate and destructive because
of this far from decisive set-back;
they will . be misreading - the
signs.
The signs say that the Repub-
Leans can still win in 1936, if
they only try to do it the Eisen
hower way. Therein lies the
big choice they have ahead of
them.

By J. t ROBERTS
Associated Press News Ayalyst
During the last few days, while
the ; United States has been en- -grossed
in its own political prob
lems, a serious situation has de
veloped in Germany threatening
one of the nation's major policies .
abroad.j
i Chancellor Adenauer returned to
Bonn after the visit with President
Eisenhower and other American
officials to find the coalition par
ties, on which"; he depends for his
majority in the Bundestag, up in?
arms over the Sar settlement.
You1 will recall that, insofar as
France lis concerned, the Western
European Union, by which Europe
intends ;i to incorporate Germany
into a ii general defense- program, .
was made contingent on a settle
ment of the Saar dispute with
guarantees that its economy would
remain integrated with that of
France.
Political rights were to be re
stored to pro German parties in
the territory, but Once the agree
ment was approved nobody would
oe permitted: to agitate for return
of the; Saar to Germany pending
a definitive settlement at some
future conference on a final Ger
man peace treaty.
.This arrangement,-limiting free..
dom of speech and political in
dependence of both individuals and
groups, was highly disturbing. It ,
was accepted both by France's al
lies and by Chancellor Adenauer
only as a necessary eviPattendant
upon accomplishing broad general
aims or much greater urgency.
But uiis, along with other con
cessions made by Germany, in
cluding.! Adenauer's failure to ob-,
tain free trade rights within the
territory instead of merely an ex
tension of present rights controlled
by France, has proved too tough
tor a tot of Germans to swallow.
Some Americans who distrust
France; said at the time that her
insistence en settlement of the
Saar question in connection with
WEU was originally designed to
runner i delay or avoid German
rearmament, even as their idea
for a European Defense Community,-held
up for three years and
then repudiated, already had de
layed it. Now they are saying it
again.-. ' ;
Frenchmen of both high and low
degree deny this vehemently. They
insist that Premier Mendes-France
acted in the only way he could to
get. parliamentary approval of
WEU, that France has recognhied
the inevitability of German rearm
ament and that the government N
now determined to put it through.
-3 ... v . .. V-
But whereas France was the
pivot, the failing pivot, on which
EDC hung, now Germany has fall
en into, the uncertain column, anr'
the. whole program is threatened.
The suggestion by German coali
tion leaders that Adenauer reopc
negotiations with France in searc
of modification of the Saar agrc
ment is hardly realistic. He d'

time when he was in a far betU
