Steel 304 89 4 428 488 71 4 Youngstown S & T 1 21 4 New Congress Has Same Demo Margin Washington U.R) The new Congress is Democratic by al most the same margin as the last. The elections last November kept the Democrats in control of the Senate by the same 49-47 margin and gave them an edge of 234 to 201 in the House, or a net gain of two. However, as a result of vacan cies created since the election the actual party line-up in both chambers is now slightly differ ent. In the House, post-election deaths of Reps. Antonio Fernan dez, (D-N.M.), and T. Millet Hand (R-N.J.) has reduced the membership to 233 Democrats and 200 Republicans. There also is one Republican vacancy in the new Senate. It was caused by the decision of Sen.-elect Jacob K. Javits (R N.Y.) to postpone taking the oath of office. Javits is staying on. temporarily, as New York state attorney general in an effort to insure that his successor in that post will be a Republican. This temporarily increased the Democratic margin to 49 to 46 and removed any possibility that Ohio's new senator, Frank J. Lausche, could turn control over to the Republicans by vot ing with them on organization. Lausche, elected in November as a Democrat, would not say in advance whether he would vote with the Democrats or Republi cans on organization of the Sen ate. Jet Fighter Base Planned on Formosa Taipei. Formosa (U.R) The United States will build a S125 million jet fighter and strategic bomber base on Formosa for the Nationalist Chinese Air Force, the U.S. Embassy announced to day. Military sources said the new construction would permit the biggest U.S. strategic bombers to use Formosa as a base for the first time. This would put Ameri can jet-bombers within 1,700 miles of the Chinese Commu nist capital of Peiping. The U.S. Air Force will be able to use the base under terms of the American military agree ments with Nationalist China. ROTC Officers to Be or Reserve List Washington (U.R) The Army said today that "only a portion" of the 14,000 ROTC of ficers commissioned between May 1, 1957, and April 30, 1958, will be ordered to active duty for two years. The remaining ROTC gradu ates will have six months of ac tive duty training followed by seven and one-half years of ser vice in the ready reserve.
