WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 (P) —
Two new total vote records were
set in the 1954 elections which
saw the Democrats roll up a 2,-
185,327-vote margin over the Re-
publicans in the aggregate ballot
for the U. S. house.
Close races for senators, gover-
nor and representative were
counted by the dozen in the Nov.
2 balloting.
Final official figures tabulated
by The Associated Press showed
Republicans outvoted the Demo-
crats in the house vote outside
the normally Democratic South
by 164,686. This was a sharp
drop from the GOP margin of
1,610,000 in the same 37 states
in the last mid-term election in
1950.
Texas cast 538,417 Democratic
and 95.023 Republican votes.
The Democratic national edge
of 2,185,327 compared with their
plurality of only 248,000 four
years ago.
The total vote cast in the na-
tion was 44,447,496, a gain of 1,.
985,414 or 4.7 per cent. The ag-
gregate ballot for house candi-
dates was 42,577,696, an increase
of 2,225,774 or 5.5 per cent. The
former highs were recorded in
1950.
Of the total house vote — re-
garded as best for comparative
purposes in mid-term elections—
the Democrats polled 22,281,988 or

He knew it was caused by some-
thing on Mars. His eyes never left
the skies. Soon he saw what he
had been waiting for.
Twelve saucers were sucked
one by one from the earth’s sky.
At one instant they could be seen
whirling upwards and the next in
stant they were gone into outer
space.
The storm lasted only a mo-
ment. Then, as quickly as it had
come, it died away. The workers
burst from their hiding places.
“Look! Santa is packing the
sleigh!”
Sure enough Santa was throw
ing bag after bag into his big red
sleigh.
“Bring out the reindeer!” he
shouted merrily.
"But—but!” protested the elves.
“You’ve forgotten. The reindeer
won’t fly!”
“They will fly now. The flying
saucers have gone for good. The
reindeer have nothing more to
fear.”
The little folk cheered. They
took the deer from the stable and
hitched them to the sleigh. In
some strange way the deer knew
without being told that there was
no more danger in the skies for
them.
A moment more and they
started on their rounds.
“The first stop—Mars!” cried
Santa.
And the reindeer cheerfully
obeyed.
(Tomorrow: A Merry Christmas
to Alli
are tired of their stumbling
ways.”
"What are you going to do?"
asked Tom in alarm.
"We will put great heat to the
golden mountain and it will melt
and bury the kings in gold. Come
along. You can see the fun.”
The children dashed away. Tom
watched them until they were out
of sight. Then he set down the
vacuum machine and pointed it
carefully into outer space. He set
the controls and checked the con-
nections.
Then he pulled the switch and
waited.
Meantime, it was Christmas eve
in Santa Land.
But it was not like any other
Christmas eve that had ever been
before. Santa’s reindeer would
not fly and Santa could not make
his rounds that night.
With head bowed Santa stood
at the stable door. His bags,
stuffed with gifts, lay beside him.
His workers gathered glumly
around. No one spoke. No one
knew what to do. s
Suddenly a breeze sprang up.
It grew stronger and stronger.
Soon it became a storm. and, fi-
nally, a tornado. The workers
rushed for cover. The buildings
shook. The reindeer cowered.

others 199,047 or 0.5 per cent.
Democrats polled 49.5 per cent in
1950 and the Republicans 48.9.
Democrats in winning control
of the house 232 to 203 and the
senate 48 to 47 with one independ-
ent-gained over their 1950 house
vote in 38 states, the Republicans
in 28. Democrats outpolled Re-
publicans in the combined house
vote in 26 states as against 21
in 1950, 15 against 10 outside the
South.
As usual in an election so close,
a switch of a few hundred votes
—only 865 in Montana or 1,232 in
Oregon, in both of which the
Democrats won — would have
meant retention of senate control
by the Republicans.
So close were some of the races
for congress that losers conceded
only in the last couple of weeks
after recounts. The six closest
contests for the senate:
Montana — Sen. James Murray
(D) defeated Rep. Wesley
d’Ewart by 1,728 in a total vote of
227.454.
Oregon — Richard Neuberger
(D) defeated Sen. Guy Cordon
by 2,462 out of a 569,088 total.
Ohio—Rep. George Bender (R)
won from Sen. Thomas Burke by
2,970 in a total vote of more than
2% million. Bender's original
margin was 6,041, but a recount
in 25 of the state's 88 counties
cut this to 2,970. Bender’s elec-
tion was certified Dec. 7.
