The rivalry between Indiana's Charlie Halleck and Ohio's Clarence Brown for House majority leader will be fought out spiritedly; other candidates may complicate the race. But there was no sign of any deep developing rifts among the triumphant G.O.P. leaders. Vandenberg will preside over the Senate as president pro tem.

Through the windows the crowds could see the King in an admiral's uniform, sitting erect and wooden-faced under his gold-peaked cap, while the Queen, with her plump, pink-and-white face, powder blue hat, grey-fawn furs, was all smiles and gracious waves.
