The President is personally convinced that the Democrats will not lose more than 20 seats in the House and will hold their own in the Senate. This would be a significant Democratic victory because for many years the average loss of the party in power has been 41. The Republican strategists are convinced that the GOP will make a net gain in the House at least twice as large as the administration now forsees and that the party will add three to six governorships, including California.

My own judgment is that, even if the Democrats score a moral victory by losing only 20 seats, such a shift in the balance in the House might well erect a considerable roadblock Weather Data MISSOURI WEATHER NORTHWEST MISSOURI Partly cloudy to cloudy and a little warmer through Sunday with light variable winds.

The confident conviction that the 2 to 1 majority in the House will be only slightly reduced, despite the traditional off-year erosion, rests upon in- depth interviews with 269 of the 294 Democratic congressmen interviews undertaken by political professionals on the Hill dealing with each problems and prospects. Here is their report to Johnson which, in large part, gives him an optimistic attitude about the November voting: "In 260 of the congressional districts now held by Democrats, the members report that the majority sentiment supports your policy in Viet Nam. In these 260 districts the members report that the minority which does not favor your policy feels as follows: Favors tougher policy 62 districts Favors softer policy 43 districts Made up of doves and hawks 33 districts Issue 122 districts "However, I want to make clear that most members of Congress reported in any event that there are a lot of uneasy people who are uncertain about objectives and the purposes of the war. "In 164 districts the economy is reported as being excellent, in 84 as being good, and in the remaining 21 districts as being poor.
