Control of body' rests on the outcome of 22 closely contested races. Eighteen of the 35 seats are now held by! Democrats and 17 by Republicans. Nine of the Democrats' seats, mostly in the "solid South," are considered safe, the other nine are being seriously contested. On the GOP side only four North Dakota, Kansas, New Hampshire and Vermount-jare considered safe. The other 13 could go either way.

Two states, Kentucky and South Carolina, will elect two senators each. A 36th seat will go on the auction block later in the year. Sen. Price Daniel, Democratic nominee for gov ernor of Texas, has resigned his Senate seat effective upon election of a successor.

All real property assessed and taxed locally or by the state for allotment and payment to taxing districts shall' be assessed according to the same standard of value; and such real property shall be taxed at the general tax rate of the taxing district in which the property is situated, for the use of such taxing district. The Legislature may authorize the governing body of any municipality constituting a taxing district to establish a proportion of the standard of value at which such real property situate therein shall be assessed, and such proportion shall be uniformly applied to all such real property within the ine district," he approved?" The latter referendum, if approved by the voters, would permit municipalities to assess properties at percentages less than their true value through Legislature permission.

In 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt carried the. Democrats Into the White House where they remained for 20 years. In the; 56 years since the turn of the century the Republicans and 'Democrats each have been in power for 28 years. In the 1938 election Franklin D.

Roosevelt showed he was the champion vote-getter by amassing 523 electoral votes, an all-time That same year, Alfred M. Landon polled only eight, smallest total recorded by a major party candidate in modern times. COP TROUBLE SPOTS Republican chances to recapture control of the Senate ride on the outcome of tight races in the five states shown on Newsmap. GOP leaders are confident that President Eisenhower will carry all five, but view the Senate contests as tough "horse races." The GOP's best prospects, these leaders say, are to hold Senate seats in California and Idaho. In the other three states GOP candidates appear to be running Uphill against Democratic incumbents.

The bitterest Senate fight in the nation will be in Oregon where Sen. Wayne Morse. Republican-turned-Democrat, faces the Eisenhower -endorsed, former interior secretary, Douglas McKay.

Dangers of War Seen by Dulles Williamstown, Oct. 6 (UP) Secretary of State Dulles said today wars are a threatening possibility in several parts of the world while the search goes on for world peace and justice.

Dulles did not tie the possibility of war direcUy to the Suez Canal crisis, but he made it clear that it was one of the danger spots he had in mind. He also told a Williams College convocation that Egypt's seizure of the Suez Canal confronts the United Nations Security Council "with a crucial test."

Truman called President Eisenhower "a captive of big business" Friday night and said Vice President Nixon was "one of the worst enemies of labor that ever sat in Congress." Truman, speaking before a Democratic rally in Detroit, urged the public not to reelect Mr. Eisenhower because he "has turned out to be just a captive of the big business people who run the Republican Party." He attacked the Vice President's labor record and warned that Nixon might succeed Mr. Eisenhower as Chief Executive.
