We know by this time HOW II happened, A WHY did It happen? .There are two explan anatlona: I. lite people wanted a change. 1 They had faith In Ite. More or lest everybody (greet on Hint. But fcai hiHrried on Tuesday aA null a RKMARKABLE thing. T By a lanoiilide vole, with a high er percentage of ellglblea going to the poll, than at any time tn our recent history, the people voted lor a change AT THE i'EAK OF A BOOM. That la unusual. The normal course Is lo wait un til the boom buU. then throw the Ins out and put the outs In. But umjwwtiV.fiinfl i-r" " "" " that didn't happen Wis time, WHYt The answer, I think, Is to be found In one word WARI We are at war, although we have 1 1 led to disguise the fact by call ing H a police action. American men tons, husbands, brothers, nephews, coualne-ot all of u are dvlng la a foreign Ian In war that we can't aem to win; In a war Uiat perhaps we have been ' afraid lo TRY to win. Always before since we became nation, we've fought to win when we've fought at ell. This time It doesn't seem to us thai we are doing that. Bo the wastage of Amer ican lives In the constant attrition ol the fighting at the Korean front bag seemed useless to us. Thst, I'd say. "was the BIO Issue. That, more than anything else, accounted for the landslide. It wss sddrd, of course, to oth er Irritations and dlssallsfsctlons and frustrations, but H must nav been the big, Immedlsle fsctor In the voting. I think Ike thought so. Hence his pledge that If he were elected President he would go at once to vnroa in sea whet can oe oonc If anything, to Improve our sllua- llnfi lhare He's some et once, aa soon as he csn get a few days of badly needed rest. Like ell good adminis trators, ne believes in noma tilings first, and he obvlouly pula loiea urai in m.m..,. r - irninh In h he's tackling. but If anybody can get away with It Ike can. He la a great general. He Is a greul strategist. As supreme com insnder of the allied lorces In Eu rope during lhe decisive years of World War II. he had wide DIP LOMATIC a well as military experience. Nobody . Is better equipped, then he to find a solu tion of the Koresn problem n there IS such a ming as a solu tion of II short of YEAR of bitter and costly attritions! warisrv. At any Tste, I'm njrased lo see him tackle Uie biggest and the toughest Job of all without hesita tion or delay. The norms) course for a POLITICIAN would have been to stay at home and get his politicking done FIRST, to psrcei out the rewards. To decide who gets what. Those are the supreme comldrretlons of pure pontics. Ike Isn't a nollMrlan. He In greet lesder of men. Everything conMdorcd, It seems to me he Is going about hit Job In Uie right wsy.

Wayne Morse ot Oregon, usually on ot the most outspoken men In Wash ington, mslntsinea stienco inurt dar on how he will cast his Im portant vote on organisation of the new senate. Morse was elected as a Repub lican but bolted nis party in tne presidential campaign to support Democrat Adlal E. Stevenson. He has not said whether he will vote with the Republicans or Dem ocrats when the time comes for distributing senate committee chairmanships and the like. His position assumes Importance because the new Senate will in clude 48 Republicans, 47 Demo crats and himself. If he should vote with the Dem ocrats, the result would be a tie thst could be broken by, the vice president. . California Landslide 8 AN FRANCISCO CTI Califor nia, with a registered Democratic majority of more than 800,000, gave President-elect Dwlght D. Elsenhower Uie biggest popular vote ever polled In the state by a presidential candidate. Nearly complete returns gave Elsenhower a 600.000 margin over Adlai E. Stevenson, The GOP upsurge, in tn election forecast as close in California, al so: Helped Republicans snap up five of the seven-seat gain In Congress. Republicans won In 18 ot the 30 districts. Democrats took 10 and led In two undecided contests. The OOP holds a 13-10 edge In the outgoing 23-member delegation. Increased the strong Republican majority in the state legislature. Republicans were named to 54 of the 80 pieces In the assembly, a gain of eight. They boosted their Senate margin by one to 29-11. Hunting Tough For Pheasant There sre still a lot of pheasant left In these parts, but hunters are having a hard time finding them. The reason, according to State Game Biologist Ken Cochrun, Is that Uie wiley ring-necks have tak en to close clover and even dogs may not do the trick in tracking them out. Cochrun said there are more birds this year than last, and early hunting this season was excellent. In many cases, however, Uie game man said the birds have taken to Uie sage brush cover and csn be seen in early evening returning to the fields to teed. One reason for the heavy bird population this season may have been the operation uiraieed" car rled on here last winter when birds were fed by Individuals interested In carrying them through the winter. COMMUNITY CHEST You con increase the "value" of a dollar by qiving it to your Community Chest. Telephone Sill zm Narrow Edge Obtained In Both Houses WASHINGTON 11 Congress has returned to Republican control by a margin so thin that President elect Dwlght D. Elsenhower prob ably will depend upon . bipartisan support to put through many of his policies. This support, many believe, he is likely to get. While the general was wlnnlrur with a landslide vote Tuesday, his supporters fought bitterly and in some esses neck and neck for seats in Uie 83rd Congress, which will consider major international and domestic problems next year. cignt congressional races went J w -v'l",,,,,. -u least three of them dependent upon absentee ballots from throughout Uie world, including Korea. In some close races, defeated candi dates have Indicated they may con test Uie outcome. Complete Senate returns gave the Republicans 48 seats and the Democrats 47. Seu. Wayne sdorse of Oregon, who resigned from the Republican Party to support Gov. Stevenson, was listed as an inde pendant with possibly a decisive vow. 82ND CONGRESS Tha Democrats held a 49-47 edee tn the 82nd Congress. In the last Republican-controlled 80th Con gress of 1947, the OOP had s 61-45 advantage in the Senate. Republicans Tuesday won 320 House seats, two more than neces- y for control. The Democrats k 20 but one ot these became vacant with the death, last night oi nep. Baoaui tu-iui. aean ol tne House, who had Just been elected to his 34th consecutive term. A House vacancy can be filled only by a special election, : One independent who usually witn uie Democrats was re-elected, and Democrats were leading in all eight undecided districts. The Democrats held 231 House seats in the last Congress, but this advantage eras largely nullified by an anti-Truman voting coalition of KepuDucans ana southern Demo crats. In 1947, the Republicans con trolled the House by a 2-45-188 mar. gin. with one vacancy and one American Labor party member. VOTING EDGE The victory gives the GOP a vo ting edge, particularly if Southern Democratic support continues, but lhe Republicans will gain greater power by controlling committee chairmanships and other top pos itions in both houses. From these posts, GOP leaders can direct Uie progress of legislation. The ntn) Congress faces basic decisions on now much money to spend on foreign aid and Uie mili tary buildup, whether to continue the present high tax rates and what to do about expiring wage and price controls.
