Democrats hold slim Lead in House races Washington a dem. Of crafts hold a narrow Lead in races for the House of representatives. But As election Day nears the potential lineup for any House election of a president becomes More muddled. A state by state associated press Survey shows democrats ahead in 231 districts 13 More than needed to control the 435-member House. Republicans Lead in 180 districts and 24 Are rated tossup in the evaluations made a week before voting. Democrats control the present House 245-187 with three seats vacant.

Many candidates said they a stick with their party in any event but numerous others re fused to say what they would do. The pressure of party discipline with its possible threats that Choice committee assign ments or seniority might be taken away could also persuade some dissidents to return to Par. To line voting.
