IV- - By Hugo S. Shut, Washington CorrMpondent
every mid-term election Bince 1870
has registered a loss for the party in
control. That the Democrats expect
ed some losses id a fact; that their
losses exceeded their expectations is
also true . The Republicans, on their
part, expected strong gains but are
delightfully surprised at the extent
of their realizations.
The President and his New Deal, to
some extent, was the general issue in
the national elections. Apparently,
the voters, or at least a majority of
them, continue to look to the Demo
crats for national leadership. Nor is
there any room to dispute the con
clusion that the Democratic Party, as
a whole, lost distinct ground last
week.

Republican Jubilant Over Gains ' ;
In the House. Senate; and the States
The results of the 'election last
Week'' catanulntMi the . Republican
tipiial politifcal light. While the party
failed to tome any where close to
control of the House of Representa-
1 tives, it scored notable gains in mem
' berehip, both in the House and the
-Senate, and made distinct progress

. The Republicans have good cause
; ,to be jubilant. Their gains exceeded
the! expectations of practically all
' ' Democratic politicians, and measured
Jjpup to the maximum forecasts of news
v" paper writers. In the House, Repub-
lican strength was almost doubled,
.' moving up from 88 to nearly 170. In,
f the Senate, the Republicans at the
i next session will have at least eight
new senators to add to the fifteen of

Figured another way, the election
cut the Democratic majority in the
House from around 240 to about 80,
and reduced the lead in the Senate
from more than 60 to approximately
40. In addition to capturing control of I
new Btate governments, tne itepuou
cans also acquired innumerable local
ofices' throughout the nation. These
will help in strengthening of the Par
ty machinery for the test that is cer

Red Cross Seeks Cut

1,725,406 First Aiders Trained
Since 1910
Cognizant ot tremendous losses In
human lives and of permanent injuries
resulting from accidents In homes, on
farms and highways, and uround Indus
trial plants as well as In the basement
workshop, officials of the American
Red Cross have been directing a sys
tematlc fight against what they term
"this economic waste."
As part of this nation-wide effort
to reduce deaths and permanent In
juries from accidents, a recent state
mem from Red Cross headquarters In
Washington reports that during the
past 12 months certificates have been
granted to 295.028 persons completing
courses In the administration of Red
Cross first aid.
Holders of these certificates have
followed detailed courses of study and
have been taught how to splint frac
tured limbs, stop flow of blood, treat
poison sufferers, care tor victims of
heat, electric shock, and handle other
common emergency ' situations. The
courses emphasize methods of caring
for patients until professional medical
aid can be summoned to scenes of acci
dents. ' .
Sines 1910, the report reveals, 1,725.
406 persons have received this training
from qualified Red Cross instructors,
and at the present time 20,429 person
are qualified to give such Instruction.
Bringing help nearer scenes of pos
sible accident, 2.454 emergency first
aid stations have been established In
strategic locations on principal high
ways throughout the nation, operators

Red Cross Instructions and maintain
ing full first aid equipment on the spot.
"PERFECT BOY"
Londpn. A 9-year-old British boy,
hailed as the "most perfect boy" by

Congress will have fewer Democrats
in the House than at any time since
1933. In. the Senate, while the Dem
ocratr stay , above the 1933 figure,
it may.be attributed to the fact that
the first Sunday in December.

in the last-fifty yeara the Republi-
, -eans, in their long control of the na
tional government, could boast of a
greater Btrengtn in the House in only
three congresses.
Regardless of this reasoning on the
part of the Democrats, however, the
election disclosed a reversal of the
' trend which sent tte Democratic
, Party to new highs. Once a trend is
demonstrated by the voters, the pre
sumption is that the trend continues.
1 If the present trend, reflected in the
election last Tuesday, continues for
i&e next few years, it will inevitably
- mean the; election of a Republican
Confirress and possibly a Republican
President in 1940. This is what
makes1 the Republicans ' feel so well

they look to the future. r , '

the 'election was whether President

' Already it is apparent that independ
ent action on the part of both houses
of Congress has bees greatly acceler

ocrats,, if united with a solid Repub
lican vote, can curb' the President's
leadership. If the President and his
Party 'unite on a program," "then the

It will be interesting to watch" the
