GOP House Gains May Wipe Out Liberal Majority WASHINGTON. - President' Johnson's over-riding election day concern seems likely to be the contests for the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. As the national leader of the Democratic party, Johnson doubt- less will follow closely the returns from:35 gubernatorial and 35 sen- atorial 'contests. But the .House races hold the principal key as to whether Johnson retains a work- ing majority in Congress the nekt two years. Associated Press surveys indi- cate Democrats may hold enough Senate seats to keep their present 67-33 majority, but that as many as 60 House races remain tossups nine days before the election. Democrats Hold Majority Democrats now hold a House majority of 294 to 139 with two vaancies. "In the past 30 years, the party out of power has gained an average of 40 seats in non- presidential elections. Such a gain by the Republicans this year would wipe out the ad- ministration's working majority in the House for many key do- inestic programs, even though Democrats would retain numerical control. This is because many Southern Democats habitually join Repub- licans in opposing Johnson's dom- estic legislation, especially in the, field of social welfare. Domestic Legislation. Much Kenneday administration domestic legislation was stalled in 1961 and 1962 when Democrats held 263 House seats, and John- son programs such as rent sup- plement, and demonstration cities won key House tests this year by six and 27 votes respectively. Complicating the picture are indications that Republicans may retain governorships in New York, Michigan and Ohio and pick one up in California. A heavy Repub- lican vote in those states could tip the scales in doubtful House contests. In Michigan, Gov. George Rom- ney is expected to defeat Dem- ocrat Zolton Ferency for re-elec- tion by a large.riihrgin and.emerge as a leading GOP presidential possibility. Romney's Coattails Political analysts will watch closely to see if Aomney's coat- tails are long enough to carry Sen. Robert P. Griffin, in a tight senatorial contest with former Gov. G.. Mennen Williams, and Republicans trying to oust three Democratic freshmenHouse mem- bers elected two years ago in nor- mally Republican districts. In New York, a complicated four.-way race for governor my influence contests for seven House seats captured by Democrats in 1964. In Ohio, Republican Gov. James A. Rhodes is expected to'defeat Frazier Reams Jr., and--his margin may affect GOP efforts to win back three House seats,, including the. one involved in the nationally publicized contest in Cincinnati between Republican Robert Taft Jr. and Rep. John J. Gilligan. Most Publicized Race Perhaps the most publicized single race in the country this year is the California gubernato- rial contest between incumbent Edmund G. Pat. Brown and Re- publican Ronald Reagan. Brown is hoping for a last-week boost from President Johnson, who is reportedly planning .a Western campaign swing after he returns from Asia. Another .major gubernatorial race, in Pennsylvania, is rated close between. Republican Lt. Gov. Raymond P. Shafer and Democrat Milton J. Shapp. Conservative nominee Edward S. Swartz may draw votes from Shafer. Democratic Gov. Harold Hughes of Iowa is favored to win a third term, and he may help the five Democratic freshmen who cap- tured House seats in 1964. In Alabama, the expected elec- tion of Mrs. George C. Wallace as governor over Republican Rep.' James D. Martin may help Dem- ocrats oust some of the five Re- publican House members elected in 1964. Spirited Laces Alabama is just one of several Southern states in which Repub- licans are putting up spirited bids for governorships. In Georgia, a large undecided vote appears to hold the key to the race between conservative Re- publican Howard H. Callaway and segregationist Democrat Lester G. Maddox. In Arkansas, Republican mod- erate Winthrop Rockefeller, broth- er of the New York governor, is running against segregationist Democrat Jim Johnson. In Florida, Republican Claude Kirk Jr. is making a hard fight against' Democrat Robert King High, mayor of Miami. In Mary- land a three-way race involves moderate Republican Spiro T. Agnew, independent Democrat Hyman Pressman and veteran Democrat George P. Mahoney, campaigning on an anti-open housing platform. Democrat Defections Republicans are trying to hold a bridgehead in President John-I son's home state of Texas where Democratic defections are expect- ed to help conservative Sen. John G. Tower against conservative Democrat Waggoner Carr, One of the most publicized Sen- ate races is in Massachusetts, where Republican Edward W. Brooke is trying to become the first Negro elected to the Senate since Reconstruction days. His op- ponent is a liberal Democrat, En- dicott Peabody. GOP Sen. Leverett Saltonstall is retiring. In Illinois, veteran Democratic Sen. Paul H. Douglas, 74, is in the toughest fight of his career against Republican Charles H. Percy, 47,. a onetime student of his at the' University of Chicago. In New Jersey, the expected re- election of GOP Sen. Clifford P. Case over Democrat Warren W. Wilentz may help the Repub- licans regain four Democratic House seats.

MARCHIO "Marat/Sade" has been booked to replace "After the Fall," whose N4ew York management cancelled its tour .after failing to sign the requisite stars. Subscribers to the PTP Play of the Month Series can use their March 6-7 tickets for the proper performance of "Marat/- Sade" without exchange. Peter Weiss's "Persecution. and Assassination of Marat as Per- formed by .the Inmates. of the Asylum of Chartenton under the direction of the Marquis de Sade" ("Marat/Sade" for short) is the winner of both the 'New York Drama Critics Circle Prize and the Tony Award as "Best Play of the 1966 Season." Weiss is ranked as Germany's leading contemporary playwright.; First brought to New York by England's R o y a 1 Shakespeare Company, the play was described in London'as a "part clown show, part dance of death, bizarre and blistering, but always magnifi- cent." Life magazihe depicted Weiss as daring and shocking but a deeply committed artist of bold and powerful originality. Robert C. 'Schnitzer; executive director of the PTP, in his 'an- nouncement of the change,.stated, "A remarkable work of force and fascination, -Marat/Sade' will make the 1966-67. Sesquicenten- nial Play of the Month Series the strongest ever presented." Subscriptions at: discount are available for the roster of six Broadway hits at the PTP office in Mendelssohn Theatre.
