New Faces and Absences Mark Early Republican Congress
Washington reports the first Republican controlled Congress in 15 years introduces many new leaders while many longtime faces disappear. Joseph W. Martin Jr. is expected to become House speaker, replacing Sam Rayburn as party control solidifies. Bricker defeats Huffman to enter the Senate, while Warren Austin and Josiah Bailey leave. Several prominent Democrats lose seats, including Guffey, Mead, and May, reshaping leadership and committee posts nationwide.
