Democrats’ Hopes
By JOE HALL
WASHINGTON, UR — Demo
crats today piled up their most
sweeping Senate victories since
the days of Franklin D. Roose
velt.
In Ohio, they exceeded even
their most optimistic pre-election
predictions by toppling Senator
John W. Bricker, long a Repub
lican party stalwart.
Other Republican senators who
went down to defeat included
George W. Malone of Nevada, Ar
thur V. Watkins of Utah, and Ed
ward J. Thye of Minnesota.
But Republican Senator Barry
Goldwater of Arizona crossed up
Democratic hopes with a re-elec
tion victory over Govemer Ernest
W. McFarland, former Senate
Democratic leader trying for a
comeback.
Republicans also sent Represen
tatives Hugh Scott of Pennsylva
nia and Kenneth B. Keating of
New York to the Senate to re
place retiring GOP members
Whose seats had been in doubt.
With only the Senate race in
Wyoming yet to be settled, the
Democrats had clinched 61 seats
in the new Congress opening in
January. This was 11 more than
the majority of 50 required for
control.
Not since the Roosevelt Admin
istration have the Democrats won
such one-sided control of the Sen
ate. Their high mark for the last
15 years was 57 seats in the 78th
Congress, elected in 1942.
West Will Ask
Russia To Help
Develop Inspection
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, (tfl—1The West
ern allies will ask the Soviet
Union to join in developing a
vast military inspection system
capable of blocking a surprise nu
clear attack by any great power
for perhaps 10 years.
Any system worked out now
would have to be overhauled after
a decade, it was explained, to
take into account new weapons.
The proposed system would
mean an end to much secrecy in
the Soviet Union, and officials
are not optimistic.
The first round of talks open
ing Monday in Geneva, Switzer
land, is designed to be highly
technical — to see whether Com
munists and Western experts can
agree on the requirements of a
workable inspection arrangement.
United States submarines de
stroyed a total of 214 Japanese
naval ships during World War II,
including one battleship, eight
aircraft carriers, 15 cruisers, 42
destroyers and 23 submarines.
Against this score, 52 U. S. sub
marines were lost.
