WASHINGTON (UPI)—President Eisenhower, admittedly
disappointed over the outcome el the election, said today he
intends to continue battling as hard as possible against what
’ he regards as excessive spending proposals by some congres-
sional Democrat:,.
The President, in his news conference review of Tuesday’s
Democratic sweep,, was not conciliatory toward his political
of ’‘wholesale reckless spending" and left whig extremism,
' put was speaking wily of his disregard for what he called
the spender-wing of the party.
Apparently, he confessed, he did not make a great impres-
sion because the Republicans did not get enough votes.
* He pledged an unrelenting fight for lower federal spending
1 next year, including cuts in the Defense Department
" He was asked whether he considered that the people had
w chosen the left wing by putting the Democrats into control
2 of Congress as against the ‘‘sensible government" he had
* offered for the Republicans. Eisenhower replied that the
t peonle obviously voted for a class of Democrat he woold
* rank among the spenders. -‘v. yX-.-'C

Bay-Tex Voters Fail
To OK Freeway Bonds
’. Bay-Tex voters followed the
His
right-of-way bond issue necessary
two-thirds majority.
Although all tile votes had not
been tabulated up to noon Wed-
proxhnately 1,000 vote*.
County officials immediately
announced that the bom! issue
would be .resubmitted and ex-
pressed belief it would pass on
a ballot of its own. They blamed
the long ballot, which contained
other controversial issues, lor the
bond issue’s failure to get a
two-thirds majority.
Voters in Baytown's eight pre-
cincts voted 1,592 for the right-
of-way bonds; 855 against. The
proposition lacked 88 votes to
give it two-thirds. T
In 14 of the 15 precincts east
of the San Jacinto River, -,»™
voted for the bonds, and 1,551
ity by
votodagalnsttbera, ’
to get a two-thirds
139 votes.
Fewer than 3,000 votes were
cast in Baytown’s eight precincts,
but that was more .than political
observers, had predicted. About
2,800 votes were cast in the eight
boxes. This is based on the high-
est number of votes cast—2,538
for Gov. Price Daniel, plus 269
for his opponent, Edwim S. May-
er.
Governor .Daniel polled 244-,.
more votes than U, S. Sen. Ralpft|
Yarborough, who won’ his first
fun six-year term in Tuesday’s
balloting. Yarborough’s total vote
in Baytown's eight precincts was
2,292.
County officials expressed fea#
in Houston Wednesday that un-
less another effort is made to get
across the $15 million right-of-
way bond issue that state funds
may be. diverted to other areas
where money is available to buy
freeway rights-of-way.
The state had agreed to match

with the, biggest congressional
imtiir-Ro°*^
A Democratic tide which surged
in Maine two months ago swept
across such * Republican * strong-
holds as Vermont, Ohio, South
Dakota, Nebraska atid Wisconsin.
Democrats won 25 Senate races,
with one unsettled, to assure them
of at least 61 seats in the new
Congress, while the GOP had won
8 for a total of only 34.
Democrats held 272 sure House
seats against 132 for the Republi-
cans. Fifty Senate and 219 House
seats are needed for control.
President Eisenhower thus faces
a Congress more heavily under
control of the opposition party
than any president m this century.
The Democratic sweep wiped
out a solid Republican House dele-
gation and retired a GOP senator
in Connecticut. It engulfed Senate
Republican Leader William F.
Knowland of California, heir to the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft in the
Senate, and Sen. John W. Bricker,
Taft’s heir ax’ the head man in
the Ohio GOP.
Down with Knowland, running
for governor, went Gov. Goodwin
J. Knight, who reluctantly ran for
the Senate, He lost to Democratic
Rep. Clair Engle.
Bricker was beaten in Ohio by
former Rep. Stephen M. Young,
Democratic running mate of Mi-
chael V. DiSalle, who unseated
GOV. C. William O’Neill.
Surveying the GOP wreckage,
Vice President Richard M; Nixon
said the Democrats deserved to
win because they had been cam-
paigning for two years, and GOP
Chairman Mead Alcorn admitted
his party had taken a “bad maul-
ing.” Both served notice that the
Republican campaign for 1960
would start at once.
All was not lost for the GOP.

N-Ban Looks
Hopelessly
Deadlocked
GENEVA (UPI) - The Soviet
Jnion appeared hopelessly dead-
locked today with the United
States and Britain on a nuclear
test ban. Diplomatic sources here
saw no sign of a backdown on
either side: iX * a%’1
But because the United Nations
shifted responsibility for some
sort of agreement to the East-
west conference here, Western
officials expressed optimism that
both sides would give way suffi-
ciently to prevent a permanent
rupture.
In New York the United Nations
Political Committee ended its dis-
cussion on nuclear test bans and
disarmament and left it up to the
Geneva conference to work out
some agreement.
Both sides were standing pat on
their positions when the confer-
ence went into its fourth session
today. These were:
—The Russians want an imme-
diate unconditional and perma-
nent ban on nuclear testing and
have handed the West a draft
treaty to sign on the dotted line-
They also insist on discussing
this before talking about-*, control
system to police it.
-The West refuses to tie itself
down with an unconditional ban
until a control system has been
set up and is working and until
there Is progress toward a gen-
eral nuclear disarmament plan.
For this reason the West insists
discussing a control system
first.
