WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-(IP)- The Democrats for the first time in 13 years today outnumbered the Republicans in the house.

Should they go as in the past, the house lineup would be di- viaed, witn each major party nold- ing 216 votes.

MENTAL GIANT WHO MAY WIN BACHE Enters Chicago University at 15, Graduated from Grammar School at Six, Dugal Stewart McIDoughall's pro-J fessors at the University of Chicago say that he will earn his bachelor's degree in two years instead of four. McDoughall is far above the average intellect. Virst of all he, is 15 years old, which is pretty young for a university freshman; then too, he has quite a scholas- ,tic record behind him. While the average child of three was building houses with little blocks of wood and hunting tiger~s back of the living room sofa, Dugal Stewart McDoughall was busily en- gaged at reading. At four he was' writing. And when fnother dressed the average child up of six and sent bim off to kindergarten, Dugal had graduated from grammar school. READ AT TIHREE LOR'S DEGREE AT 17 When this same average child reached high school and contented himself with B's and C's, this same mental giant nad bagged an "A plus" average at Arsenal Techni- cal High school in Indianapolis. But with such a great scholastic record, McDoughall is not the im- age of a bookworm. On the con- trary, claim his classmates, he has the hulking shape of a football man.

Under the present law, a successor in that generally Re- publican district could not be slat- ed until January. However, Larson wil ask the legislature to change the law to permit an earlier elec- tion. The sudden death of Representa- tive Hale will make it more diffi- cult for New Hampshire to clos the seventh house vacancy before Dec. 7.
