By the Associated Press.
Third party talk has revived follow
ing the New Deal defeat in Rhode
Island last week and the questions it
raised about future administration
policy.
Senator Nye. Republican, North Da-
kota. brought it into the open yeSter-
day with a fiat prediction, there will
be a third party next year"
Some leading Republican regulars,
too, mentioned for presidential NOM
ination, indicated in private CONVEX
sations they had by no means dis
missed the possibility. They SEEM
ingly hoped it would happen, evi-
IDENTIFY on the theory that the Roose-
welt ticket would be the sufferer
Diverse reactions in both major
parties to the Rhode Island results
accounted for part Of the specula-
ton. Where some conservative DEM
ocrats interpreted the overturn Of a
House seat as a demand that the ad-
ministration shift Right, Republic
ans from farm areas showed little
sympathy with colleagues who hailed
it as a harbinger of death for the A.
A. A.-and its financial heart, the
processing taxes.
Result to Be Test Factor.
One thing is certain. The admin
istration course from now on will be
examined in the light of this New
England election for any approach to
the conservative viewpoint
Roosevelt policy has been criticized
as shutting between Left" and
bright" Considering this. and the
attacks on the pending tax bill as
radical, some legislative quarters look
for more emphasis on recovery than
reform" in months ahead. Neither
party is expected to let the Northeast
with its great block of electoral votes,
60 by default Is months hence.
In that connection an exchange IN
the House last week was potentially
significant. Representative Fiesinger,
Democrat, of Ohio asked. When is
the budget likely to be balanced?"
"I firmly believe" replied Chairman
Buchanan of the Appropriations Com
IIl1llS6, lIldU 1lChG "AhSCA uIAN AL 49,
ture Congresses We can pass through
without any additional taxation or
without the issuance of additional
bonds. or increasing the national debt,
except to cover appropriations hereto
fore made"
No Mention Of Bonus.
Nothing was said about payment OF
the bonus, although consideration in
January is slated and predictions of
enactment over any veto have been
made.
Senator Nye considered the poSsi-
bility of a rightward swing in his
third party interview. Should Mr..
Roosevelt go that way because of re-
cent troubles, reasons of political ex-
pediency or otherwise" he said, we
would be up tree"
Another Independent, Senator Nor
beck, Republican. of South Dakota,
ras warned Republican regulars they
must counsel with "progressives or
other Northwestern States will join
the third party movement already
controlling Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin"
Their observations conceded with
renewed conjecture over the role Of
former President Hoover in Repub-
lican affairs and its effect on the at
tempts for harmony. Friends of. his
derived special satisfaction from the
change cf Democratic majority of
more than 10000 in 1882 for the first
Rhode Island district to one of almost
$1,000 for Republican now.
The reason for their satisfaction:
Largely because the loser campaigned
on Back to Hoover or Forward With
ROOSEVELT"
Mr.. Hoover, who celebrated his
61st birthday yesterday, declined po-
litical comment in Utah on his way
to New York While East he will have
more chances to carry on his confer
ences with party leaders. No public
statement Of his position regarding
nomination next June is expected,
however.
His silence in that regard has Gre
ated resentment among some party
members. 1t cropped out at Colum-
bus, Ohio, only yesterday, when
former Senator Roscoe c. McCulloch
said the greatest service the ex-Presi-
dent could render Republicanism
would be to announce at once he
would under no circumstances accept
nomination for President and that he
will not seek to control the next ma
tion convention.
