Farmer-Laborites lost heavily in both houses in the general election Tuesday. Seven Farmer-Labor senators were dropped and replaced with conservative opponents. They were: Senator Victor K.

Late election returns broadened the Republican sweep Wednesday night to include gains of at least 77 house members and eight senators, along with 11 governors. Two senate seats in Iowa anil Indiana still were in doubt, and it appeared that a few hundred votes from outlying districts might settle both. Iowa's Democratic Senator Guy Gillette was slightly ahead of former Senator L. J. Dickinson, Republican.

In Indiana, Senator Frederick van N'uys, Democrat, was trailing Raymond Willis, Republican newspaper editor. Both Gillette and Van N'uys were opponents of the President's court bill.

OMISIII JUDGE BUTTLE Realtor Hits Board's Right to Exceed 24.15 Mills Says Salaries Adequate. The "friendly" suit of an Edison high school history instructor to compel the board of education to levy a 1938 tax high enough to meet schedule expenses ran into opposition Wednesday in district court, where it was scheduled for hearing on an alternative writ of mandamus. Robert S.

Leighton, real estate dealer, filed a complaint in intervention questioning Plaintiff R. Ahlstrom's right to bring the ac tion and contending the board of education has neither the duty nor the power to levy more than 24.15 mills. Claims No Kmergency. A writ issued by Judge Levi M. Hall on Ahlstrom's petition directed the board either to boost the levy or show cause why it should not do so.

Eager to have the court rule on its authority to increase the levy, the board was prepared to admit all the allegations in Ahlstrom's petition and to leave the issue in the court's hands. But, Leighton complained, any such admission by the board would "seriously mislead" the court. He insisted the schools are not in a bad state of repair, that teachers' salaries in Minneapolis are on a par with those in similar cities, and that no emergency therefore exists which would necessitate a higher levy.

Two Wisconsin Progressives also had been elected. These senate and house gains were not sufficient to give the party control of either chamber, but they led to speculation in Washington over the probability that Republicans and anti-administration Democrats would combine against new deal measures. Few Democratic Victories.

The Republican upswing also fired the expectations of party leaders for a successful 1940 presidential campaign. But even these victories did not completely measure the extent of the Republican advance. In several major contests which the Republicans lost, their party displayed much more strength than in recent years. Against the Republican triumphs, there were offsets. One of these was a narrow Democratic victory in the all important stale of New York, which retained Herbert H.

Lehman, Democrat, in the governor's chair. In addition the Democrats took California, which has had a Republican governor for many years, and replaced the Republican governor of North Dakota with one of their own party.
