GOP marches toward control of House   WASHINGTON (AP) --
Republicans drove toward recapturing control of the House for
two more years on Tuesday as the two parties traded gains from
the Eastern seaboard to the Southwest.  With almost two thirds
of the chamber's 435 races called by The Associated Press,
Republicans had won 173 seats and were leading in 58 others.
There were about 20 other seats in Western states, where polls
had just closed and voting was beginning, where GOP incumbents
were not facing serious challenges.  A party needs 218 seats to
control the House.  By late evening in the East, Democrats had
ousted five incumbent GOP House members to just two Democrats
who were defeated by Republicans. But Republicans also picked up
three open seats that had been held by Democrats who are leaving
Congress.
