In the House of Representatives, Democrats held 232 seats, increas- ing their former margin of 231 to 201. Five seats were still unde- cided. They also gained control of the House of Representatives, widen- ing their 231-201 margin by one seat, with five still undecided early this morning. With several seats still doubtful, nine Senate seats changed party hands, Democratic ones in Ken- tucky, New York, West Virginia and probably Nevada and Repub- lican seats in Idaho, Pensylvania, South Dakota, Ohio' and probably Colorado. Democratic control was contin- gent on their maintaining slim leads in these states: Oregon, where turncoat Repub- lican Senator Wayne Morse, ap- peared to be holding a steady 4000 vote lead after see-sawing all night with former Interior Secretary Douglas McKay, the best-publi- cized race of the campaign. Latest figures gave Sen. Morse 124,000 to McKay's 120,000. Colorado Colorado, where long-frustrated Democratic Senatorial candidate John Carroll, a former Congress- man and aide to former President Harry S. Truman, held a slim 183,- 000 to 179,000 vote lead over former Governor Dan Thornton. a close friend of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Thornton had held the lead all evening in his bid for the seat of Republican Senator Eugene Milikan. Pennsylvania, where Democratic candidate Joseph Clark, former re- form mayor of Philadelphia, held a dwindling lead of 2,074,000 to 2,046,000 over incumbent Senator James Duff, an early and enthus- iastic Eisenhower supporter. Kentucky, where Senate Demo- cratic whip Earle Clements took a thin 347,000 to 342,000 lead from former Undersecretary of State Thruston Morton after trailing all night. If Senator Clements holds his lead, it will put Kentucky in the position of having split its Senatorial ticket, as former Sen- ator John Sherman Cooper, who had two Senate victories and two defeats in his record, won his third victory from former Gover- nor Lawrence Weatherby, 249,000 to 206,000, gaining to Democratic seat vacated by the death of for- mer Vice-President Alben Barkley. I WilliamsGets 5th erm Governor G. Mennen Williams was reelected for an unprecedented fifth term early today. The victory was conceded by Gov. William's Republican oppo- nent, Detroit Mayor Albert Cobo, at 4 a.m. Gov. Williams grabbed an early lead and was never behind in his bid for state leadership. When Cobo conceded the Governor lead by more than 206,000 votes. The gubernatorial race was particularly intense. Mayor Cobo attacked Gov. Williams as a "do-nothing" governor, stood on his rec- G.

By The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS-The United Nations moved last night for quick organization of a Middle East peace police force as Britain and France declared a cease-fire in Egypt. The UN Secretariat published a plan suggesting the force should watch over a general cease-fire and withdrawal of British, French and Israeli troops from Egypt. It would not have the right of "en- forcing a withdrawal of forces." Later seven countries circulated a resolution calling on the Gen- eral Assembly to approve this plan.

The State Department set forth this view in a statement denounc- ing as "grossly false" a Soviet charge at the United Nations that persons sponsored by the United See U.S., Page 4 -0i0d as mayor of Detroit, and pledged better cooperation with state agencies if elected. Gov. Williams pointed to his work in public welfare, FEPC, edu- cation and public works projects. GOP Had High Hopes Republican leaders had nur- tured high hopes of a Republican gubernatorial victory, banking on Mayor Cobo to whittle down the traditionally large Democratic vote in Wayne County. The Wayne County vote was actually two per cent greater for the Democrats than in 1952, build- ing up slightly less than a two-to- one margin for the incumbent Governor. The margin of victory looked as though it would be smaller than the 265,000 votes by which the Governor defeated Donald S. Leonard in 1952. Gov. Williams, as in 1952. could not carry the state for the Demo- cratic presidential nominee. Mich- igan's 20 electoral votes went to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. With little more than 60 per cent of the returns counted, Gov. Williams appeared to be sweep- ing his state Democratic slate into office, although most contests were still open at 4:15 a.m. Hart Leads Reid At 4 a.m. incumbent Democrat- ic Lieutenant Governor Philip Hart was leading his Republican rival Clarence Reid 924,421 to 860,330. James Hare, incumbent Demo- crat, was leading John Martin in the Secretary of State race, 825,- 847 to 780,558. For Michigan Attorney General, Thomas Kavanagh was leading his Republican challenger, Rich- ard Van Dusen by 804,258 to 774,- 262. In a hotly contested race that see-sawed through the night, in- cumbent Democrat Frank Syz- manski held a tenuous 1,200 vote lead over Frank Padzieski for Auditor General at 4:20 a.m. In non-partisan races, Talbot Smith held a 520,195 to 474,790 lead over Michael O'Hara for the Supreme Court Justice term ex- piring in 1957 while George Ed- wards had a victory-assuring mar- gin of 689,214 to 293,435 over John Simpson for the Supreme Court Justice term ending in 1959. Special to The Daily LANSING - It looks as if Governor G. Mennen Williams has a gubernatorial batting average of five for five. At 3 a.m. today, in the governor's home, all indications pointed to an unprecedented fifth straight term for Williams. Although all returns had not been received at 615 Grand Ave., the 150 people crammed into the governor's home all expressed op- timism. Democrats here were generally sobered by the outcome of the MRESIDENT DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER RE-ELECTED BY OVEiRWHIELMING MAJORiTY presidential race, but applaudedt TVCookies Show 'U' Preference.

Eisenhower won re-election to the presidency early today by the massive, overwhelming vote of a nation that heard and heeded his pledge of peace and prosperity. Deep beneatfi an, avalanche of Eisenhower victory votes were buried the, presidential ambitions of Democrat Adlai E. Stevenson-now and probably for all time. Stevenson conceded at 1:20 a.m. EST, a defeat that had been obvious and inevitable almost from the moment the ballot counting from yesterday's election got under way. But for President Eisenhower there was a clear-cut, resounding vote of confidence from the great American electorate-and one of the most crushing landslide victories in the nation's political history.
