THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Odds In Favor Os Democrats To Win In '54 Past Experiences Favor Democrats To Regain Congress WASHINGTON, UP—The odds established by political experience strongly favor the Democratic party winning control of both senate and house in thia year's general election. The average off year election loss of senate seats by the party in power oyer the past 40 years has been between five and six. In the house it has been 44. If the 1954 election conformed to the averages of the past, the new congress would line up in 1955 about like this: Senate: Democrats 54, Republicans 41, Independent I.— House: Democrats 259, Republicans 175, Independent 1. No such shift as that is likely, however. The present house and senate are so evenly balanced that neither party is likely to add 44 house and five or six senate seats this year. In the present congress Republicans are in control as .much by courtesy as anything else. They have only 47 senate seats, two shy of a bare majority. The Democrats have 48 and there is one independent, Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon. The house now is divided among 219 Republicans. 215 Democrats and an independent. A majority ol 25 to 30 seats is the minimum with which a political party can establish working control of the hpiisfi. Four or five seats is the minimum advantage needed to control in the senate. It is in the American political tradition that the party in power shall lose some house nad senate seats in an off year election when the presidency is not at stake. It is likewise tradition that a party in power which loses control of congress in an off year election shall lose the White House two years- later. The Democrats upset both traditions within the past 2ft years — an era of tradition-busting which included, also. F.D.R.'s third apd fourth term elections. They actually gained.nine house seats in 1931, two years after Mr. Roosevelt’s first election to the presidency.. In 1946 the Republicans wop the senate and the house. That was two years after Mr. Roosevelt's election to a fourth term. The Republican house gain was 55 seats;—The party seemed to be on the comeback trait But in the 1948 pnesidential election. Harry 8. Truman went whis-t:e-Btopping tn — a “give ’em ~heii campaign which not only defeated Gov. Thomas E. Deweys bid tor the White House but restored congress to Democratic, control.. American elections can be either unpredictable or traditional. Republican bets are down this year on the unpredictable and on the hope that President Eisenhower s personal popularity can be traded for votes for senator and representative. ' The President" is unrivalled as a vote getter. He got nearly 34miilion in 1952. F.D.R. was a good man at the polls. But the most he ever drew was 27.47G.000 to the tune of ‘‘Happy Days Are Here Again" in 1936. Youngest Eagle? TROY, N. Y., UP — Gerald Lefebvre claims he is the youngest Eagle Scout in the country. The youth, 13 ip February, has earned the required 21 merit badges and now wears his red, white and blue Eagle Scout pin.

| Temperature Hits ; 69 At Indianapolis Indiana In Grip Os *’ Winter Heat Wave INDIANAPOLIS. UP — A winter “heat wave” pushed the mer- . cury to 69 at noon today, only . tour degrees short of the highest > temperature ever recorded in Febi ruary in Indianapolis. The reading was the highest ever for Feb. 15. breaking by one . degree a mark set in 1921. Tem- > peratures have reached 70 on only r four February dates since the > weather bureau was founded in the 187(fs. It was the second day in a row existing marks for dates were broken in the Hoosier capital. Highest February temperature ever recorded was 73 on Feb. 10, 1932. 1 Weathermen said a "quirk” might push the mercury beyond > ' the 68-degree mark at Indianapolis 1 _ —the all-time high for Feb. 15. ' The capital city established a new record for Feb. 14 when a reading ’ of 65 was recorded Sunday. Previous high was 64, set in 1918. Other Hoosier points claimed ’ similar readings. It was 59 at Jjend and Fort Wayne, 62 at Lafayette, 64 at Terre Haute . and 6“ at Evansville. Readings . varied little over night. But the warm gulf air, pushed by a high pressure area over the ’ Atlantic ocean, brought no preci- [ pitation. ; Forecasts called for colder temperatures Tuesday, with early’ morning readings in the low 4b’s.

More Grade A Milk Produced In State Follow Standards Set By Government INDIANAPOLIS, UP ~ Enough grade "A” milk is being produced in Indiana to give every growing Hoosier his daily quart because of a long-term state health department program. About 82 cities and towns and Lake county have adopted grade “A" ordinances since the program started in 1939. First 1954 addition was Winchester. Indiana farms and dairies operating under the grade “A” program actually follow' standards set up in the U. S. public health service milk grading ordinances of 1939. A new milk code was established by the federal agency last year, and the state health board will adopt it Friday. Health board officials said a hearing on the new code, which reduces maximum cooling "temperatures and increases cattle health standards, will be held Monday. Dairy division officials said 97 percent of the state’s milk — or 315,799 gallons a day — is of high enough quality to come up to grade “A” standards. That’s 1,263,196 quarts. That means the milk has well above 3.25 percent butterfat and is produced and processed under conditions which keep the bacteria count under 3(1,000 per cubic centimeter. The 30,000 bacteria count limit is high, according to present standards. Most Indiana milk had a count of little more than 12,000 for the past two years, officials said. Butterfat is normally higher than the required figure too ranging from about 8.5 to 4 percent. About 60 state-trained but locally operating sanitarians check conditions in the 153 bottling plants which pasteurize grade "A" and each dairy must have four samples checked in laboratories every six months. -Farms operating uni der city or county ordinances get--1 a check about every three months. "It makes for much cleaner milk than we'd have otherwise,*’ officials said.- “For instance, our bacteria count lias ’dropped from an average of 26,000 to 12,(700 in a few’ years." — ti - - Purdue Agronomist Here Tuesday Night Farmers interested in learning the "why and how’” of nitrogen fertilizer application will hear J.- L. Morrow, a Purdue agronomist, at, 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the music room in the Decatur high school, states county agent L. E. Archbold. O. C.
