SEES G. 0, P. SWEEP IN ‘BIG & STATES

WASHINGTON, Sépt. 11 (U. P.). —Republican National Chairman Joseph W. Martin, predicting “substantial” G. O. P. gains in the house and senate, today said his party * would carry the “big six” states of Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and California in the November elections. A survey of the large population states, which backed President Roosevelt for a third term, showed (“particular encouraging” evidence they will “definitely go Republican,” Rep. Martin said. Rep. Martin based his statement on what he said was general dissatisfaction with thes administration’s handling of the war effort and the feeling of a “prudent people” that the nation will be “safer” with a strong minority party. \ He would not say whether the G. O. P. gains would be sufficient to win control of the house. Republicans now hold 166 seats against 262 for the Democrats, and could win control by capturing 50 additional seats. : In the senate, the division is 65 to 29, but there is less chance of a shift in power there since many. of the seats to be filled are in the solidly Democratic South.

Dooms Double Time Pay

The house banking committee was informed after a White House conference yesterday that the president now plans to exclude no war industries from his wage control order. The pattern to be followed by the wage control order, already drafted for issuance as soon as congress acts on farm prices, was made known by the text of the executive order out lawing double time pay in war industries. The president invoked his powers under the constitution as com-mander-in-chief of the army and navy and confined the order to war plants and allied industries exclusively. Government agencies were directed to use their power as contracting agent with war industries to enforce the order. That means violations can easily be checked by governmental refusal to pay out funds to war contractors who continue to pay double time for work on Sundays and holidays.

Rayburn Is Hopeful

The same treatment will enforce the order the president will issue shortly outlawing wage increases beyond the 15 per cent formula whether grantéd volnutarily or otherwise by the war contractor. Speaker Sam Rayburn disclosed that he was hopeful of an agreement that would permit introduce tion of legislation in both houses, probably Monday. House committee action will be delayed until later in the week because of the primaries Tuesday but Rep. Rayburn hoped the bill would be on the house floor by the following week. Republican members of the house committee met yesterday and expressed approval of plans to dispense with public hearings. They called {for expeditious action by congress on the president's mes-
