WASHINGTON (A1) The pre
miore of tho HCventy-soconU con-
gross, tho congress or "dreadful
doubt" us to parly control in both
housei, will he played before (lie
seventy-first oongresH makes its
oxlt.
On February 2f. those Kepuhlican
members of the house of the ne.v
entvfirst congress who have been
re-elect eel to the seventy-second
and they tiro many will sit in
caucus to frame tliclr party slate
for the next house, from the speak
ernhip down.
Two (lays later, house Democrats
not bo many in holciover.s but
with newly elected members troop
liis to Join them will do likewise.
Kvale In Novel Role '
At. about that Mine Hep. Paul J.
Kvale of Minnesota, the lone fann-
cr4ahoritc of the new house, will
hold that unique "one-man caucus"
of which he talks, to decide what
hif role is to be.
At these first political clan gath
erings of the new congress -IN
ItHpuhlicans, IMti Democrats ami
Kvale. tho only member not allied
mora or less definitely with either
major party, wilt be present or ac
counted for.
There were at this writing two
house vacancies, two New York
City Democrats having died since
election. ,Hoth were expected to
he replaced by Democrats at special
elections. It would he something
of a political cataclysm H that did
not happen.
Prophecies Futile
Thus, by the hooks, the Republi
cans will have an absolute majority
of one vote. Yet that is only by
the books. In only one of the throe
party caucuses, Kvalc's one-man
show, can there be complete har
mony of political . nclioit and
thought.
And what, the dissension within
the ranks of the major parties on
prohibition, on farm relief legisla
lion, on the tarlfl, oil almosl every
other issue or the day may pro
duce in 0 house dominated by only
a one-vote nominal party control,
not the wisest political .observer
could say with certainty.
Once, in the war congress of
1!tlT, the Democrats organized the
house, although there were three
more Republican than Democratic
members on the rolls. ,
Conlition Control Then
There were nearly a score of pro
gressives or other independents in
that house, holding the balance of
power. Also the emergency of war
Impelled many to yield support to
a Democratic administration back
ed by a Democratic senate, for war
purposes.
No such external emergency
confronts the seventy-second con
gress. Instead, the presidential
campaign of l!t;il! in in the offing.

ognized lines of political parlies;
