Thus, by the slenderest margin in a decade, the Democrats retained control of the House. Mr. Rayburn told a cheering House that when victory.' was won there must be no stopping until the vandalism of Berlin, Rome and Tokyo is wiped from the face of the world. He added: "We must disarm vandals and keep them disarmed."
