Senate Democratic Majority Assured For Next 4 Years By Congressional Quarterly Washington - (CQ) - The Democratic party stands in no danger of losing its U.S. Sen ate majority in the 1962 elec tions, a Congressional Quar terly survey shows. The earliest the Republicans could achieve a Senate major ity would be in 1965, follow ing the 1964 elections. But that would require Republi can victories in virtually all the doubtful Senate races of 1962 and 1964. Democrats currently hold 65 Senate seats to 35 for the Republicans. One Democratic seat will be up in Texas in the April 4 special election for Vice President Johnson's old seat, and the general ex pectation is that it will remain in Democratic hands. In 1962, 21 Democratic and 15 Republican Senate seats will be up for election. CQ's preliminary survey classifies seven Democratic and seven GOP seats as doubtful. If Republicans were to hold all their doubtful seats and win all seven Democratic doubtful seats in 1962, the new Senate would .have 58 Democrats and 42 Republi cans - still far short of a GOP majority. If Democrats, on the other hand, were to hold all their doubtful seats and capture all seven doubtful GOP seats in 1962, the new Senate would have 72 Democrats and 28 Republicans. Under normal circumstances the Democrats might expect to lose a few Senate seats In 1962 because im Mas .rf m IV (01 hi matter ) ; you HERE IS THE MATTRESS THAT GIVES SUPPORT PLUS RELIEF FROM TENSION This X-roy provides potttivt proof thai yov gel proper support and greoltr comfort with Englonder'i TemioivEaie Sleep Set . . , luxu rious Foam Lalex matlrets for wonderful com tort and matching Tension-Ease foundation for firm, healthful support) Relax your tensions way . , . fonighrf Pi rwte the "out party" (the party which does not control the Presidency) had traditionally picked up seats in mid-term elections. But mid-term gains for the "out party" have generally followed gains for the major ity party in Presidential elec tion years. The normal gains for the majority party did not occur in 1960, when Demo crats lost two Senate seats even though a Democrat was beins elected President. It is possible that the traditional pattern has been broken and that President Kennedy, his policies and his party's Senate candidates will be more popu lar in 1962 than they were in 1960. Even if they are able to do well in 1962, however, Demo crats are unlikely to score further gains in 1964. In that year the Senators elected in the 1958 Democratic sweep -25 Democrats and eight Re publicans - will be up for election, and up to 13 Demo cratic Senators in states which often vote Republican will be in danger of losing their seats. The 1964 Senate elections, in fact, mav be a prime target for the GOP. Providing Re publicans can increase their Senate membership to 40 or more in 1962, they would have a chance of winning a majority if they can defeat ten Democratic Senators in 1964. A gain of ten seats, how ever, would scarcely be pos sible unless Republicans were winning a strong victory In the P r e s 1 dentlal election. Even as ponular a national figure as President Eisen hower was unable to lead the Republicans to major Senate victories. ' Thus the long-term outlook, barring an unexpected and momentous shifting in the for tunes of the two political parties, is for Democratic con trol of the Senate for several years to come. The CQ survey classifies following 14 Democratic seats, up in 1962, as safe, based on current information: Ala bama, Alaska, Arizona, Ar kansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Okla homa, South Carolina and Washington. Eight of these are among the 22 Southern Senate seats which always can be counted safe for the Democrats. The seven doubtful Demo cratic seats up In 1962 are Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Mas sachusetts, Oregon, Pennsyl vania and Wyoming. The eight safe GOP seats for 1962, based on current estimates, are Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire. New York, North Dakota, South Dakota and Vermont. The seven doubtful Repub lican seats are In California, Connecticut, Illinois, Km tucky, Maryland, Utah and Wisconsin. These' classifications will change somewhat as political developments unfold during the coming 20 months. Several Incumbent Senators may face stiff primary opposi tion. Among the states where primary fights appear In the offing arc Arkansas, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Penn sylvania, New Hampshire and Maryland. the Englander TENSION EASE MATTRESS 7973 30 DAY FREE HOME TRIAL EASY TERMS!
