Democrats Renew Control Of Congress WASHINGTON (AP) Democrats marched toward renewed command of Congress Tuesday night in mid-term elections studded with Senate upsets that ousted Republican Sen.

Edward W. Brooke of Massachusetts and installed 'Thad Cochran as Mississippi's first popularly elected GOP senator. Democratic Rep. Paul E. "Isongas, 37, beat Brooke, the only black senator, whose thirdterm bid was crippled by his admitted misstatements about his personal finances in divorce testimony.

In Maine, Rep. William S. Cohen. 38, billed in advance as a potential national Republican leader, defeated Democratic Sen. William D.

Hathaway, Democrat Carl Levin, 44, a former president of the Detroit City Council, led Michigan's Republican Sen. Robert P. Griffin. who first said he was quitting the Senate, then changed his mind. Sen.

Charles H. Percy of Illinois was withstanding the challenge of Democrat Alex Seith. Percy claimed victory there. In 'Texas, Democratic Rep. Robert Krueger edged ahead of Republican Sen.

John G. Tower, after a campaign more notable for name calling and big spending than for issues. CBS News said its projections showed Roger Jepsen, a former lieutenant governor whose conservative campaign seemed constantly in trouble, would defeat Democratic Sen. Dick Clark of Iowa. In New Jersey, Bill Bradley, the former Princeton and professional basketball player, won a Republican Senate seat for the Democrats.

Bradley beat conservative Jeffrey Bell to succeed Sen. Clifford P. Case. Nancy Landon Kassebaum, daughter of Alf. won Senate election in Kansas, holding a Republican seat and defeating former Rep.

William Roy to become the season's one beneficiary of middle name recognition. CBS and NBC said that David Durenberger, 44, a Minneapolis lawyer, had defeated Democrat Robert Short in Minnesota, delivering to the Republicans the Senate seat of the late Hubert H. Humphrey. And Rudy Boschwitz, 48. a plywood manufacturer, was leading Democratic Sen.

Wendell Anderson, who had himself appointed to the Minnesota seat vacated by Vice President Walter F. Mondale. NBC said Boschwitz was the winner. President Carter followed the returns at the White House, telephoned some winners and some losers. Press Secretary Jody Powell said the trends pointed to "a very good result" for Democrats.

He said the Republicans might gain 10 to 15 House seats, but Democrats could gain one or two in the Senate. Republicans were indeed making some dents in the Democratic House majority, although control was never in question. GOP candidates led for 15 seats now held by Democrats. Democrats led for six Republican seats. That added up to a net gain of nine seats for the Republicans.

Republican Richard 'Thornburgh was elected governor of Pennsylvania, defeating Peter Flaherty, who resigned as No. 2 man at the Justice Department to make the race. And Republican Lamar Alexander, a Nashville lawyer, beat Democrat Jake Butcher to take over the governorship of Tennessee. Both those states now have Democratic governors. In South Carolina, Democrat Richard W.

Riley was elected governor, to succeed retiring Republican James Edwards. Edward J. King, the conservative Democrat who upset Gov. Michael J. Dukakis in the Massachusetts primary, was elected to succeed him, defeating Republican Francis W.

Hatch Jr. Gov. Hugh Carey of New York was re-elected, over Republican Perry Duryea. In Maine, Joseph Brennan, the state attorney general, won for the Democrats the governorship opened by the retirement of independent James B. Longley.

Meldrim Thomson, New Hampshire's ardently conservative Republican governor, was upset in a close contest by Democrat Hugh Gallen. So was Democratic Sen. 'Thomas J. McIntyre, trailing but close in partial returns on his contest with Gordon Humphrey, an airline pilot. NBC and CBS said that Republican Rep.

William L. Armstrong had defeated Democratic Sen. Floyd K. Haskell in Colorado. Rep.

Larry Pressler won Senate election in South Dakota, as expected, to succeed retiring Democrat James Abourezk. Democratic Govs. David Boren of Oklahoma, J.J. Exon of Nebraska and David Pryor of Arkansas all won election to the Senate. Boren and Exon took over Republican seats.

Mississippi's Cochran defeated Democrat Maurice Dantin and Charles Evers, brother of the stain civil rights leader, to win the seat of Democrat James 0. Eastland, who retired. In Illinois, Republican Gov. James R. Thompson was leading Michael Bakalis, the state comptroller.

This was the national picture: In the 35 Senate races. Democrats had won twelve seats and led for four more. Among them were six seats now held by Republican senators. Republicans had captured eight seats and led for eight, including six currently Democratic seats. No returns had been reported in other Senate contests.

The count of unofficial returns was slowed by computer malfunctions at the News Election Service, which compiles the figures. In House elections, Democrats had won 144 seats. and led for 95 more. Republicans had won 76 seats and led for 57. Returns had yet to be tallied in the balance of the 435 House contests.

In the 95th Congress, Democrats ran the House with 285 seats to the Republicans' 146. Four seats were vacant. In contests for governor, Democrats had won in 11 states, led in eight others. Republicans had won four, led for 11. Republicans won or led in eight states which now have Democratic governors.

Democrats had captured one which currently has a Republican in the statehouse. Proposals to limit taxes or spending gained early support in 10 of the 16 states where the people were voting directly on the issues that were major campaign concerns. The terms of those propositions varied widely. Network vote projections said Republican Alan Simpson had been elected to the Senate in Wyoming, to the seat once held by his father. In Virgnia, the Senate race was close, the lead shifting between Republican John W.

Warner and Andrew P. Miller, a former state attorney general. Warner is a former secretary of the navy who often campaigned with his wife, Elizabeth Taylor. Republican Sen. James McClure led, as expected, in his Idaho re-election bid.

CBS projected victory in California for Democratic Gov. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. seeking a second term against Atty. Gen.

Evelle J. Younger. That would keep Brown in the picture as a possible challenger to President Carter. 'The Senate winners elsewhere included: Sens. Walter "Dee" Huddleston.

Sen. Sam Nunn. D- Sen. Claiborne Pell, D- R.I., Sen. Joseph R.

Biden D- Democrats Howell Heflin and Donald Stewart in Alabama. Sen. Jesse Helms, R- N.C.. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R- S.C., Senate Republican Leader Howard H.
