(AP) United in seeking a return of prosperity, national party leaders returned to the business today of trying to find out who won congressional control in Tuesday's biennial election. Republicans and Democrats both were determined to fight it out to the last vote in the last precinct and it was obvious tonight the actual controlling party of the next Senate and House probably will not be determined until the closely divided membership meets a year hence. The final but unofficial returns left the Republicans with a majority of one in both the House and in the Senate and the leaders were prepared to seek control again on these standings. It was entirely possible that two or three votes in one district might settle the whole issue for the House. TOO EARLY TO MOVE But with the session such a long way oif, unless a special session is called next spring, it was agreed on all sides that it was too early to speculate.

Party chieftains were checking over recounts in more than a score of closely contested House elections. Meanwhile, attention returned to the approaching short session which will wind up the business of the old Congress. Administration leaders are preparing to concentrate everything on the enactment of the vital appropriation measures in order to make a special session next spring unnecessary to dispose of them. NO WORLD COURT Unfinished business coming over from the last session will get next consideration. That includes the disposing of the Muscle Shoals, power and nitrate plant; regulation of motor bus traffic; some prohibition measures; and unemployment bills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8. (AP) President Hoover plans to ask Congress for emergency appro- priatlons to furnish employment and assist drought sufferers. The one will go toward speeding up the government's building program, and the other will take the form of a seed loan. A statement outlining the plan came from the White House late today after the War department and his emergency employment committee had separately made known further phases of their own relief programs.

STATEMENT "The statement follows: "The President announced today that the administration had decided to recommend to Congress a special emergency appropriation to be applied to the further intensification of public works, public buildings and other forms of federal construction which are already authorized by Congress but for which no appropriations would normally be made until later periods; and further to recommend the provision of a 'seed loan' assistant to farmers in the drought area. "It will be remembered that the appropriations for federal construction were greatly Increased upon the President's recommendation, by the last Congress as aid "to employment during the current year.

8. (AP) First of the major world powers to recognize the new provisional government of Brazil, the United States formally acknowledged today the administration of provisional President Getuilo Vargas to be the controlling political factor in that country. Recognition by the United Statec of the new Brazilian regime was announced by Secretary Stimson after a conference with President Hoover and upon receiving from Ambassador Morgan at Rio De Janeiro a report upon the entire question of recognition. In addition the Brazilian administraton had made a formal request for such acton. COMES QUICKLY The recognition was accorded fifteen days after the government bf former President Washington Luis had been overthrown by a coup d'etat, which ended widespread revolutionary activities.

Secretary Stimpson made his announcement of recognition in a formal statement. Unlike the immediate recognition of new regimes recently in Argentina, Peru, and Bolvia, the formal announcement was delayed pending the receipt of the report from Ambassador Morgan as to the exact status of the new Brazilian administration. State department officials had raised the question whether new administration was a successor to the government of President Washington Luis or an entirely new government. In the former case no re-recognition would have been necessary. HAD PLACED EMBARGO The day before the unsealing of Luis, the United States had placed an embargo on arms to the rebels.

The rebel coup d'etat came as a considerable surprise to the state department. The fact that it had Just forbidden the -sale of arms to those who came in power caused the American government to approach the question of recognition cautiously and to await some move of the Brazilian regime itself. The instructions to Ambassador Morgan to extend found recognition to the provisional government were in the usual diplomatic terms and houses And Put Fate In Commission's Hands ALL HUNGRY FOR WORK CHICAGO, Nov. 8.

8 (AP) In the same "citizens beer cellar" where Adolph Hitler hatched his abortive plans for an overthrow of the government In 1923, the National Socialists will gather tomorrow in mourning services to commemorate the twelfth anniversary of the German revolution which established the republic. Originally it was planned for a band of "brown shirts" to march through the city, as Hitler had hoped to march with Ludendorff seven years ago, and to hold services at the cemetery where lie those who fell in the revolution of 1918. But the police forbade such a demonstration and the Hitler followers turned to the old beer cellar. ALLOW NO JEWS Notices it plain that Jews will not be allowed to participate in the exercises. This is in accord with the anti-semitic sentiments of the fascists.

At Coburg, in Bavaria, the National Socialists who control the municipal government have determined to go the Hitlerites in Munich one better, and plan to drape the city hall in deep mourning with the monarchial and Bavarian colors fly-in side by side. In Berlin, however, not even radio broadcast programs include any services which would remind Republican Germany of one of the most profound changes in the nation's history. The newspaper Achtuhr Abcnd-blatt today carried, an article by Philip Scheldemann, reichstag socialist who in 1918 proclaimed the republic from the steps of the Reichstag, in which appeared the assertion: DAY OF DISGRACE ''Had not the democratic republic been proclaimed in 1918, the Spartacists on that day of Germany's breakdown would have made our nation a branch of Soviet Russia. It would have been easy for them, for the Spartacists had arms in plenty while the Social Democrats had only umbrellas. Fortunately for the nation, the Spartacists were content merely to brandish their weapons and deliver speech- The National Socialist organ, "An-griff" apostrophizes the date as "a day of disgrace."

GREATEST WASTE "Industrial conflict is the greatest waste in industry. It not only delays production and diminishes it, but its most hurtful results are inflicted upon the lives and spirits of men and women. We can measure its productive losses in unmade goods and unearned dollars, but incalculable Is its needless toll of suffering." The chief executive's address follows, in part: "It is a satisfaction to engage for a moment in the anniversary of the establishment which was a record of over 60 years of continuous industrial peace. This long history is proof that there is common ground of mutual interest and humane relations between employer and employee, for this concern could not have weathered all these years of shifting currents in good times and bad times had it been otherwise. HUMAN COMES FIRST "And year by year do we realize more of our responsibilities in the human relations within industry.

Mechanization is so distinctive of our modern civilization that even as a mechanical conception we often tend to forget that the most wonderful and powerful machine in the world is the men and women themselves. It is the human being from which achievement is won far more than the tool. "However astonishing may be the increase in usefulness of machines as they grow in size and ingenuity, their improvement is little as compared with the enlarged effectiveness of organized intelligence and cooperation when men pool their efforts to achieve, a common end. Man's conquest of machines Is less spectacular than his conquest of his own will. "Industrial conflict is the great- big American city.

ARMY COTS AVAILABLE Earlier in the day, Secretary Hurley had agreed to place all available army cots and blankets at the disposal of agencies dealing with acute Meanwhile, the emergency committee was pegging away at its task of stimulating decentralized campaigns to make more work obtainable. Secretary Hurley telegraphed Governor Emerson of Illinois that, though authority was lacking, he would assume responsibility for "authorizing the use of all available army cots and blankets without unduly depleting the supply for the armed forces." Emerson had requested a loan of army equipment "indispensably necessary to assist in Chicago and throughout the state." Similar requests from other places were expected to follow Hurley's announcement of policy. Pleas for direct assistance already have been received by the President's emergency committee, along with many appeals for Jobs.

The governor has the matter under advisement, he explained, and will likely reach a decision early this week.

Basement dwellers were warned to be ready to evacuate quickly, but no serious damage was reported at any point. The next high tide will come tomorrow afternoon.

In Paris the newspapers published pictures of flooded quays and warned that should the rains continue for a few days the situation might become critical.
