house, or governor's chair. These races rank next to the presidency Itself In tomorrow's historic war-time election because of the important roles congress and the states will play In the eventful peace-making and economic adjustment years ahead. The Central The Democrats now firmly control the senate, hold a slim though nominal plurality over the Republicans In the house, and bow to the Republicans In governorships with 33 agalmt 26. To be elected: 33 senators, 433 representatives, 31 governors. The Republicans stand their best chance to regain control of the house In more than a dozen years, although Democratic leaders say this will Dot happen because this Is a presidential election year.

While winning a net of 80 seats In 1938 and 44 In 1042. the O. O. P. lost a net of seven In the presidential year of 1940.

A clear majority of the house is 218. The Democrats now have 214. the Republicans 212, and minor parties four with five vacancies. All the Republicans have to do Is hold their own and pick up six ad ditional seats to gain a majority and organise the house taking office In January. Their leaders say they see pro peels of turning up with a net gain of as many as 60 seats.

Administration entertains, now- ever, counter with the prediction that the Democrats will hold their existing strength and unseat from 20 to 40 Republicans. There are 919 candidates running for 433 house member thins. Three of the total roll of 435 were elected In Mslne September 11 all Republican Incumbents. Fifty-one Democratic, six Repub lican, and oae American Labor can- dates for the house are unopposed In tomorrow's voting. The present senate lines up this way: Democrats 68, Republicans 37, Progressive 1.

A majority Is 49, or 48. if Joined by Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, the lone progressive whose seat is not at stake this yesr. The 35 cenate seats to be filled Including three short terms in the new congress are now held by 33 Democrats and 13 Republicans. There are 36 Democratic and 24 Re publican holdovers. Thus, tne Democrats neea omy to win 13 of the 3S contests to re tain control In that branch, or only six outside the solid south where seven Democratic Incumbents are up for reelection.

The O. O. P. will have to capture 25 of the races to gain a clear majority. A total or too candidates are out See GOVERNORS Page Mercury Sinks To Year's Low At 21 Degrees ia.

No B-29s were reported lost In either strike. (A Tokyo radio broadcast record ed by the federal communications commission asserted that one B-29 waa shot down and another dam aged in the raid on Pangkalan- Brandon. It said "no damage was incurred on our side.) Singapore was hit by Superior! resses in "substantial force, tne communique announced.
