WASHINGTON tJ') — Demo
unts and Republicans alike found
something to cheer about Thurs
day in the makeup of the new 88th
Congress that will convene on Jan.
9.
For the Democrats, the big talk
ing point was that they had not
suffered the big losses that usually
befall the party in power in an
off-year election.
President Kennedy said in a
statement issued by the White
House that he was heartened by
the- outcome of Tuesday’s election
and was certain Congress would
meet its responsibilities “in a pro
gressive and vigorous manner.”
Republicans failed to make the
gains they had hoped for in Con
gressional races, but the GOP Na
tional Chairman, Wm. Miller, said
an endorsement of the New Front
ier and its programs."
The new line-up in the Senate
will be 08 Democrats and 32 Re
publicans. This lifts the Demo
cratic majority to the highest peak
since they won 69 seats in the
1938 election. They had a 64-36
margin in the outgoing Congress.
In the House, where 435 seats
were at stake this year, the Demo
crats captured 250 and the Repub
licans 176. They will have a hefty
majority of 84.
Even so, the Democratic major
ity will be less than it was in the
87th Congress when there were
437 House seats and the Demo
crats held 263 and the Republi
cans 174.
Two seats were wiped out by
reapportionment. The Democrats,
in effect, absorbed the loss of these
seats and in addition had suffer
ed a net loss of four seats to the
Republicans.
A White House spokesman con
trasted these GOP inroads in the
House with what he said was an
average loss of 49 House seats by
Democratic administrations in mid
term elections in the past.
He also said that the average
loss in the Senate for the party in
power has been seven or eight
seats since World War I, with the
exception of 1934 when Franklin
D. Roosevelt’s New Deal was rid
ing high.
While the administration gained
strength in the Senate, it was there
that it needed help the least, In
the House, where Kennedy’s pro
posals most frequently fell afoul
of opposition from Republicans and
southern Democrats, the GOP
whittled down the Democratic
majority.
The bumed-out Methodist par
sonage, recently put up for sale,
was purchased by Thomas John
son who was the high bidder at
$380.

The Young Democrats of Nome
had planned a victory dance for
this coming Saturday for all the
young people of Nome. The multi
purpose room of the school was
rented and responsible chaperones
were provided. However, after
having talked with Rob Oliver,
chief of police, it was learned that
anyone under 18 years of age, un
less accompanied by parent, guar
dian, or an adult appointed by
parent or guardian, could not at
tend the dance after 10 p.m. with
out breaking the Curfew Ordin
ance.
According to local authorities,
all persons under the ago of 18
years will have to leave basket
ball games, dances, movies, and all
other social gatherings at 10 p.m.
unless accompanied by responsible
adults.
Does this mean that Mr. Hahn, j
the Nanook coach, would have to
take home each of the ten basket- 1
ball players and five cheer leaders
after any basketball game lasting j
| past 10 p.m,?
This letter is not written for
the purpose of having the Curfew \
Ordinace done away with, but for
a few exceptions to be made so j
that the teen-agers can enjoy what !
; little social life exists in Nome for
i them.
For any teen-ager or parent who j
; want to see something done about J
! this sad situation, there is a city j
1 council meeting next Monday j
1 night. Let’s be there and see what!
we can do about it.

Mrs. FDR Terme i a
‘’Figure oS Greatness”
By J. M. Roberts
Neither her face1, her voice nor
her t: '-.ire would have launched a
thousand ships.
Yet as her life progressed her
face acquired a certain beauty that
had nothing to do with its physi
cal features, her voice was always
on the side of humanity, and her
figure became one of greatness.
I first met Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, for a bare introduction,
on a campaign train 30 years ago.
Another meeting on another train
was almost as brief. I was not
greatly impressed in those days, a
mistake which many people made
at the time of high controversy.
I met her again 15 years later
over lunch — not a luncheon —
in the Delegates Cafe at the
Palais De Chaillot in Paris where
the United Nations was meeting.
Her husband was gone, the undevi
ating edge of her political parti
sanship was gone, the controversy
was over. Her face and her voice
held a new meaning, and I was
much impressed.
She had come into the full herit
age of a family which had, in New
York, since long before the found
ing of the nation, exercised a
strong consciousness of the need
for public service.
She lived in that tradition until
she died, a daughter, niece and
wife of the rich and famous, and
a success on her own.
