JOURNALSaturday, Nov. 29, 1958 Democrats Forecast Long Capitol Reign By JOE HALL WASHINGTON Democratic campaign strategists said today their margin of Senate conso great it is highly likely the Republicans could overturn it before 1963. They added a strong GOP tide would have to be running both in the 1960 and 1962 elections to give the Republicans a chance of taking over Senate leadership even four years hence. The addition this week of two more Democratic senators from Alaska swelled further the confidence already expressed along those lines by the party's campaign leaders. The Alaska sweep gave the Democrats 64 senators as against 34 for the Republicans, just two shy of two-thirds.

Although the new will not take office until Congress, the Senate campaign committees of both parties already are beginning to make their estimates and a plans for the congressional voting in 1960. Unlike 1958, the Democrats will have many more seats at stake in the 32 Senate contests two years hence. But even so, the mathematics of the situation remains favorable to the Democrats. 10 in Southern States Of the 21 majority party seats that will be at stake in 1960, 10 are in Southern states where the Republicans often do not even make nominations.

Firm to Buy From Russia NEW YORK (AP) The Dow Chemical Co. is buying about 54 million gallons of benzene from the Soviet government at a price well below the U.S. market average. The company, announcing the agreement Friday, said it made the deal because of its "economic advantages." The refence apparently was to the reported purchase price of 24 or 25 cents a gallon.

The current price of domestic benzene is 31 cents gallon. The contract, under which Dow will pay about million dollars to the Soviet government, appeared to be a major success by Russia in its attempt to penetrate the American market with raw materials at reduced prices. The company also said another reason favoring the agreement was that the contract assured a dependable supply of benzene in the near future. In the past, Dow said, domestic supplies have been erratic and sometimes seriously inadequate. Industry sources agreed that this was sometimes true, but said that at present there is an oversupply of domestic benzene.
