IKE’S REPLY
The reply to Mr. Truman said:
“Thank you for your telegram. I
am gratified by your suggestion
that we have a personal meeting
in the interests or orderly trans
ition. Because I obviously require
a reasonable time for conversa
tions and conferences leading up
to the designation of important
ffisistarlts. I respectfully sugges|
that we tentatively plan the pro
posed meeting few the early part
of the week beginning Nov. 17.
“In the meanwhile, with your
permission, I shall try to take im
mediate advantage of your sug
gestion concerning a budgetary reD
tVsentatlve and will additionally
propose other individuals for in
doctrination in severe 1 of the other
departments in the federal gov
ernment.
WANTS UNITY

ence can achieve maximum results.”

GOP Wins Control Os Congress

gress by razor-thin margins j
that will force President e
lect Dwight D. Eisenhower
to rely on Democratic help
to enact his legislative pro
gram. -dji’
Nearly complete returns from
Tuesday’s Congressional elections
showed the Republicans holding
219 House seats, one more than |
a bare majority. They were leading
in two of the still undecided races
for an indicated total of 221. Thus :
the House will be more closely
divided than it has been, immed
iately after an election, since 1916.
Democrats were elected to 208
House seats and were leading in
five undecided contests. But the
Democratic total was cut to 212 j
by the death early today of newly!
re-elected Rep. Adolph J. Sabath i
of Illinois, 86-year-old dean of the 1
House. An independent was elected :
to one House seat.
WIN SOUTHERN SEATS
The. GOP won control of the
House only by their inroads into
the normally Democratic South.
Three Republican House members
were elected from Virginia and
one from North Carolina.
Senate results showed that 23
Republicans and 12 Democrats:
were ‘elected to the Senate Tues
day. Added to the holdover sena
tors whose seats were not at stake j
this year, these returns gave the
Republicans 48. or exactly half of
the Senate seats, and the Demo

The remaining seat is occupied
by Sen. Wavne L. Morse of Oregon

looking like a man who has had a great burden lifted

energies to government.
