Total vote for all Republican House candidates was 27,793, 939 in 1956, down from 28,393,794 in 1952. Republican per centage of the vote was 48.7 in 1956, compared with 49.8 in 1952. A very small drop, but it cost them control of the r House. The Democratic vote was 28,642,537 in 1952, 29,253,511 ...in 1956. , ', Republicans fared better in the East than In the West. East of the Mississippi and outside of the South their candidates ' ' polled 54 percent of the vote this year, 54.2 in 1952. In 19 states west of the river the Republican vote dropped from . 55.4 In 19o2 to 48.8 this year. It was here that the Republicans .lost the House. Their vote gained in only one state, Utah. -,- -But if the South is left out of the picture the Republicans wuii lauici uciisive cuiigressiuiiai victory, incy delicti m members to the Democrats' 135. In the South the Democrats . elected 99, the Republicans only seven. Issues in the South ' were of course quite different from those in the rest of the country. - - Dividing the country into six sections, the Republican House ..vote gained in two, the Northeast, from 54.1 to 54.5 and In the and in the. South, from 15 to 23.2, losing in four, Mid-West Vfrom 57.1 to 64, border states, from 47.1 down to 45.6, moun- . tain states, from 54.6 to 49.9, and in the three Pacific coast states, the heaviest loss, from 55.2 to 48. President Eisenhower's ratio inccreased in all but two sec tions. It remained even In the mountain states and dropped from 57 to 55.1 on the Pacific coast. . The three top Republican states were Vermont, 66.9, New Hampshire, 61.3, and Connecticut, 60.2. Best three Democratic states were Mississippi 100 percent, Georgia, 89.9, and Ala- ; .bama 86.4. Outside the South the best Democratic states were ' Oklahoma, 59.7, Missouri 57.1, and Montana,' 55.6. Oregon's .'.Democratic ratio was 52.9. . What this all adds up to is: Republicans gained in the east . and the South, Democrats in all the rest of the country; it was a close election in both 1952 and 1956, and that the Dem ocratic margin is still in the solid South, from which nearly half of its congressmen come, more than half if the border . states are added. . It's very much a two party country, the total vote 51.3 to V48.7. Ike's Doiim What's Best for Hungarians BtvNot Fighting By RAY Every Saturday, Ra Tucker answers readers' questions of general interest on national and international problems and per sonalities.

Beyond The Pale Meanwhile, President Eisen hower is exerting the pressure of world opinion against the Khrush chev Bulganin regime inside and outside the United Nations. Mos cow now stands condemned before the bap of justice and humanity, and has been isolated from the civilized community of mankind. Every great advance in human history has demanded sacrifices. Civilization has marched forward across fields of blood, as witness our own annals. This is small consolation, I realize, in the face of the cries for mercy and assistance from the streets and squares of Budapest. Japan Enthusiastic Over New U.S. Ambassador "Do you believe, as reported, God-loving people so loyal to their inquires T. H., of Salem, Ore., own country and their ideals that that the Japanese resent the ap- Ihey lay down their lives, as are the Hungarians, and our country continues to give billions of aid and comfort to such barbarians as Tito, how do you explain this to your children? Military Intervention Would Mean War Here Is my answer, based on the official viewpoint toward the Hungarian crisis: In the first place, actual mili tary intervention to prevent Rus sian brutality would mean a global war. The first and worst sufferers would be the Hungarian people, as well as those in every satellite country. They would be the un armed soldiers on the front line No Reds Left """ Why Soviets Won the Olympiad The doleful ending of the Olympic games at Melbourne fca :' lured by a near riot between Russian and Hungarian athletes . and the winning of a majority of the events by the Soviets, raises some issues that seem to call for a revision of rules to insure another Olympiad four years hence. According to the system used by Americans, 10 points for first. V 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 for subsequent places, the Russians won with 722 points, the United States second with 593, Australia third with 278'i. But under the European system of 7 points for first place, .' (he score was 622S4 to 4D7. .- - The U. S. team won in games it specializes on, track, field, ' basketball, swimming, rowing, boxing etc., but Russians swamped them in a long list of special and minor gymnastic sports, which attract Utile interest here, but count as effectual- ly as major sports in the finals. The reason for Russian victory, likely to be more decisive in ino iiiiiirn is mat Ihn vwmic hun a tviiitm nt not nnw nn search for athletic talent, for mass regimentation and subsidi zation of athletes, that is not tolerated in America and really ' Professionals, and not amateurs, and barred here. Every Soviet school child takes physical education and com petes in some competitive sport, and organized athletic con V tests, and those who show ability arc registered, and time and money is spent in training them by the state. Rewards are pro vided for winners and they are taken care of belter than fellow students with good jobs in later life. A top Soviet official des cribes the system: "Physical culture is sport for the people. In our country, mil- ous that talented athletes will hp (mind sooner among these millions . . than among thouMintl, and thnt it is easier lo find talented nlh t;Xlclcs among thousands than tunong hundreds ..." yy Promising youngsters arc virtually drafted, trained and paid ;t;gr athletic contests, just as they ate for scientific jobs. But '."jJpui'B American athletes like football players, while they ;'rhay get scholarships, are on their own and if they turn profes ; sional, arc barred from the Olympiad. So the Russians have Rood prospects of winning future Olympiads, for they are state trained professionals, with assured futures. They have their fun and get paid for it too. What is Avery Urundaiie.

Ago By BEN MAXWELL Dec. 15, 1937 Oregon's lethal gas chamber, which by vote of the 1937 legisla ture was chosen to replace the rope and gibbet for executions at the penitentiary, had arrived in Salem. Plans were to immediately remove it from the car on a rail road siding to the penitentiary and install it on the top floor of the main building. The 4000-pound chamber had cost the state $3590. 'The chamber was first used Jan. 7 1938, for the execution of Her schcl Leroy McCarthy. Since then it has been used 13 times.)

Congress and private Industry consistently have pressed the U.S. government to buy American. That is, to buy American - made goods even though a foreign manu facturer may be able to offer as good or better a bargain. More Foreign Sales It is contemplated now that in such circumstances the British or French, for example, manufactur er of a massive generator might make a sale even though an Amer ican product could compete equal ly in price and quality. Such benign trading would be part of the effort to provide West ern European Allies with dollars toward stabilization of their cur rencies and their economies. It has been suggested that operators of foreign air lines might also be favored in their efforts to obtain concessions from the U.S. govern ment at the expense of American- owned carriers engaged in foreign service. The grant of .such concessions would not be judged on the strict merits of the air transportation business but somewhat in light of an .ally's need and, especially, m light of an ally's international be havior.

SWIFT Rci-ior, OV. riu bwv. The various seasons ol ine Christian Year are easily identi fied by the hymns which are sung during the worship services of churches that observe the Christ ian year calendar. Christmas music the world over arouses its own peculiar senti ments and emotions. But before Christmas, each year, comes the advent season, the season which we are now observing The advent season without John the Baptist would leave us without an import ant link between the "Old Dis pensation and the New." One o( tne great, nymns oi uiu advent season is On Jordan s bank the Baptists cry announces that the Lord Is nigh; Awake and harken for He brings glad tidings of the King of Kings." Congregations have loved this John the Baotist" hymn for cen turies. It brings back memories of this rugged character of the desert who subsisted on locusts ana vim honcv. The man who, after pro claiming the coming of the Mes siah, had the almost unbclieveable honor ot baptizing tne tnnsi Himself. Then the time came when John the Baptist festered in a dungeon. His faith in the Messiah was weak ened by his long incarceration in the prison with no visit from Him. St. Matthew records It like this: Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, end said un to Him, 'Art thou He mat should come, or do we look 'or another?' " How this remark fiom Jahn must have grieved the Christ, who had paid him such honor at the river Jordan. One of the thoughts this incident provokes is, that under terrific stress and strain, one's faith is sometimes sorely tried. "Why did God do this to me?" are words that are not infrequently heard The only .consolation one has in a time like that is that when the pressure lets up a bit, the faith that was there 'if it was there) returns with all its power! A sound faith is the solid rock to which one can return when perchance a sudden wave of doubt, or despair sweeps one off his feet. IS CHRISTIAN 1 1 SCIENCE J HEALSj Station Sundays KSLM 10:15 1390 K. C, A. M. News for the hard-of-hearing! Too Few Consulted Staylon Mall The county court elected Sidney Schlcsinger, Salem merchant, as state senator to succeed to the term vacated by Mark Hatfield, secretary of state elect. The court acted upon recom mendation of the executive com mittee ot the Marion County Re publican Central committee in j the United States. U.S. operators will not like that. The United States has certain policies toward colonialism, for ex ample, and certain standards of making the appointment. The ap pointee's qualifications to fill the office seem to indicate that he is eminently qualified to fill the po sition. But what surprises is that the executive committee, rather than the whole county-wide committee, makes the recommendation. This, we think, is not good law for a county the size ot Marion. There were committeemen in Stayton, for instance, who knew nothing at all about the action. In selection of so important an official as state senator it seems to us that the whole county should have a direct hand in making the choice rather than by a select lew.

It is freely conceded here by some responsible officials that living up to these standards imposes a much heavier burden on some allies of the Unit ed States than it docs on this coun try. More benign trade policies are but a part of the contemplated aid, all of which, apparently still is subject to exploration by the cabi net and decision by President Ei senhower. Western European Al lies probably will be requested to get together among themselves to pool their mutual needs. The Unit ed States then would try, lo meet the rescue cost.
