WASHINGTON, June l2.-What- ever party deficiency may be prompt ing the urge to Republican activity, there is no shortage of lightning rods" for the 1886 presidential nomi- nation.
 Except for the Solid South, every section has at least one man regard ed by his friends-and presumably by himself-as eligible. Some states have an embarrassment of such rich es. And most of them were at least mentioned at the G. O. P. grass roots conference at Springfield, III.
 Rccaevelt Seems Certain
 There is no parallel on the Demo- cratic side. Unless something now unforeseen utterly changes the pie ture, MT. Roosevelt seems due for first ballot renomination in June, 1886 It might not be unanimous; but could be so onesided as to have that appearance.
 Calling the roll of Republican nomination possibilities is not so simple a matter. Beginning with for mer President. Hoover, the list car ries down through a considerable group of party elder statesmen of the Hoover administration period to the handful of juniors who won their party political spurs in '32 or '34 by resisting Democratic tidal waves in governorship fights.
 Leaders of the various Republican off-year reorganization moves iusist no question of candidates is yet in- volved. Issues come first, they ss y issues and organization
 List Imposing
 However, an imposing array of names have been handed about spec ulatively for that '36 Republican eff fort to end, or at least make start to end, the Roosevelt sweep. Besides MT. Hoover there is the veteran Charles Curtis of Kansas, former vice president. Like Hoover, only more definitely, he is not seeking office" There is, however, always the draft"
 There are at least three former Hoover cabinet members who bob in and out of '36 presidential talk Ogden Mills and Henry Stimson of New York cannot be overlooked any more than can Representative James Wadsworth of the Empire state Representative Bertrand Shell of New York, Republican leader in the House for two congresses, also is mentioned, usually as vice presi- dential possibility, however.
 Another Hoover cabinet man who might bob up is Patrick Hurley oi

Oklahoma and Washington, D. C., His wisecracks about his political fu- ture being behind him have not many takers among political observ- CTS. And what about Charles McNary Of Oregon, veteran Republican lead CT in the Senate, is considered more likely to get uncontested favorite son honors if he wants them than MT. Hoover whose California base of op- erations is threatened by Governor Merriam's supposed ogling of 'ss prospects.
 Borah Constant
 Like WadSwortn, Senator Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan has been trotted constantly into the race since '32. Nx
 There is always Borah of Idaho. He has been prospective candidate so long without coming close to a nomination that his name is certain to be heard if party liberals" take over the '36 show. No instances of party irregularity lie against him as against Norris of Nebraska.
 Getting down to the Republican governors other than Merriam, Hoff- man of New Jersey and Buck of Delaware both have enjoyed tenta- tive endorsement for '36 higher hon. ors,. In the central west the name of London of Kansas has loomed up from time to time. There is talk, too, of former Governor Winant of New Hampshire.
 Even this casual and incomplete list of Republican 1886 possibilities indicates the difficulties the con- vcntion will have reaching a choice unless much preliminary spade work is done without delay Although no two-thirds rule impedes Republican convention action as it does with a Democratic nominating group, wide distribution of state support among favorite sons conceivably could re- produce some such deadlock as that which produced Harding in 1920. Good politics requires preliminary ground clearing to avoid that.

| HAVANA. March Mutual hos

los Mendieta brought about consoli-
dation today of three oppositionist
parties pledged to a program for sup
planting his administration with a
semi parliamentary government"
The move was sponsored by the
A. B. c. Autenticos and Menocal
parties, frequently at loggerheads dur
ing Cuba's recently turbulent political
history.
After agreeing to consolidate their
interests, the three groaps selected DR..
Jose A. Fresno, former rector Of
Havana University, and now dean of
medicine, to head the new govern
ment. which they would set up in the
event Mendieta should resign
Election Neutrality Pledged.
A spokesman for the merged organi-
cations, explaining their objectives,
said:
Our program calls for new gov
ernment capable of rescueing civil au-
thority, with absolute neutrality in
the coming elections. There mas been
complete agreement on our program
between the A. B. C. and the Au-
tenticos (whose proper name is the
Partido Revolucionario Cubano) with
approval in general terms by the
Menocal Party"
(The Menocal Party is. composed OF
the followers of former President
Mario G. Menocal, one of the leaders
of the opposition, to former President
Gerardo Machado.)
Mendieta's Position Critical.
The sensational decision of Cuba S
political lions and lambs to lie down
together came as President Mendieta's
government faced a critical situation
in the threat of general strike
growing out of the school walkout.
The movement already has resulted
in the resignation of five members of
the cabinet. Unconfirmed rumors
circulated today to the effect that
the President himself was preparing
to withdraw.
The spokesman for the amalgamated
political societies said their semi
parliamentary government would pro-
vide for a premier and include an
assembly composed of various revo-
lutionary sectors"
Junta of Sectors Provided.
The basis for the new government
as outlined would be junta of Sec
tors which we're active in the revolu-
ton against President Machado. The
junta would organize the semi-parlia-
mentary administration headed by a
non-political president who would act
as moderator in all problems, except
political matters.
A council of secretaries, or cabinet,
would be headed by the premier, who
would fix the policies of his associates.
The cabinet and premier would be
responsible to the Junta, which would
have powers to remove cabinet men,
bers and the premier at any time.
The junta's only legislative powers
would be the preparation of legisla-
ton and regulations essential for ma
tional elections. It would have no
control over the president.
