Democrats had won or were ahead Tuesday in enough races to assure their continued con- trol of the House of tives and were virtually holding on to majority As returns mounted crats had won 101 seats and were leading in 122 others The won or in prospect is than would quired for a majority With more than a fourth of the House races decided ndt one seat had moved from one party to the other Republicans had won 23 seats and were leading in 99 more There also was no doubt that the incoming House would have an unusual number of members with no more than two years service The 1974 regular and sub- sequent special elections brought in 98 new members 79 Democrats and 19 Republicans The present election found 53 open seats to be filled because of retirement primary defeat or death and of course not all incumbents were assured of re- election Democrats dominated the outgoing House by two to 290 Democratic seats 145 Re- publican Their 1974 successes came on the heels of the gate scandals A number of Democrats elected in usually Republican districts the considered more this time and cans hoped for a pickup of at least 15 seats But Democrats coached their freshmen in niques of pleasing organizing offices and and contended that most of them were safely en- trenched Democrats hoped to hold their losses to 10 and spoke of a longshot chance of picking up a few seats Little change was in sight as to the number of women and blacks among the House bers Three of the 19 women House members retired and about the same number of women contenders were ning strong All 17 black House members were running for re- election and were favored to win While Watergate had faded into the past sex and payroll scandals and allegations of wrongdoing plagued the cratic Congress It did not appear however that these would be decisive in many races The campaigns leading up to Tuesday's elections were marked by heavy spending by past standards for House races In addition to funds raised by the candidates vidually central party com- poured in substantial amounts especially on the Re- publican side Spending by the Republican groups was mated at million more than four times as much as the corresponding Democratic provided The dis- parity led to some nervousness among Democrats about the possible effect of last-minute media drives and mailings Gandhi Amendment Heads For

Madison School constructed in 1850 and Grant School built in The other school would be built to replace Sheridan and Pioneer schools used in 1905 and 1915 for the first times respectively These

worked with the administration to finalize the application No organized resistance to the package emerged but supporters of the changes organized a small ad campaign to combat possible rejection due to possible voter apathy on the question Appointed in 1972 the review committee made its change recommendations to council which then reviewed each section of the charter and either accepted the proposals or made its own After a final review by the committee the proposal was placed on the ballot by Council Voters will either accept or reject all the changes as a single package Many of the

1972 but whose registration was celed this year because he had not voted between presidential elections The ACLU contends that Ohio voter registration laws are doubly automatically canceling the right to vote of people who are otherwise but choose to vote only every four years and by discriminating in favor of voters in some rural counties where registration is not re- quired at all Judge Joseph Kinneary in- he would rule on the suit within the next month COLUMBUS Ohio AP Democrat Howard M baum clung to a vote lead Tuesday over Sen Robert Taft Jr with more than half the vote ed in a rematch
