The Democratic national chair- man. Robert l. Hannegan, who mI-msed the " ‘. president- ill campaign lIl 1H4, today pra- dicted that the party "not on-iy will be returned to its majority status in both houses but its membership will be increased over 111B! in the 79th Congress."

But the Republican chairman, Carroll Reece. bolstered by reports of polls and amateur experts, re- mained equally confident that his party would win a “substantial- perhaps overamelming - majority in the House" and a majority in the Senate.

The only thing significant in "1858 fflrecflsts is the evidence of rising optimism in the Democratic ranks where there has been a fairly frank acceptance that the long reign of the party faces a serious- threat.

Only a slight shift is needed to make Republican hopes come true. The party can take control as the House of Representatives by gaining as seats and in the Senate by gaining 10.

The election is for all 4M seats in the House and 82 of the 96 seats in the Senate where one- rhird are elected every two years for six-year terms.

World Food Production May Exceed Pre-war Level

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3—(AP)— The United States Agriculture De- partment said today world food productW-i‘ for the 1940-47 crop year will be about seven per cent above last year's low level may even edge above the pro-war average.

But the report warned there still is danger cf an "acute short- age next spring" unless available exports are carefully used. It ex- plakicd that devastated areas sti-ll need lame imports desnite their

own sharply-‘increased food pro- ducticn. The world came up this yea-r

with the largest corn output on record, the department said, out it produced the smallest cotton crop since 1923, with the exception of last year.

Population increase is a factor to be considered in the world food situation. the department noted. It is seven per cent above the pre- war firzure, Therefore. on .3 per canitn basis, fnod supplies for the 1946-47 consumption year are about fivs nor cent below pro-war.

The 1946-47 demand for food exports promises to be as nearly as great as during the last ymr, reflecting a desire of many low- consumntion countries to rebuild reserves. and to raise nutrition standards.

The most pronounced production increases occurred in war-devast- ated cmmtrica and in areas strick- en h_v drought last year. Novarihe- less, the cutnnt in many of these areas still is far below aver-we

Southern and western Europe and Nnrih Africa showed the "rcatcst increases in food produc- tion. Hnwr-ver. crop nrnsnr-cts are also considerably more favorable than a year ago in manv of the Far Euatorn countries. particularly India. thr- Pbilinch-ies cnrl Jtnnn.
