U.S. CONGRESS
Democrats Retain Control (Rec. 7.45) WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. Mr Sam Rayburn of Texas, was elected Speaker of the Congress, defeating the Republican candidate by 217 to 206. 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 vandalism in Berlin, Rome and Tokio was wiped from the face of the world. We must disarm the vandals and keep them disarmed.
