GOV. COCHRAN
WINS Sd Term

OMAHA, Neb, Nov. 10 G.N.SO.
Gov. R. L. Cochran was returned
to office for a third term in Tues
days election by the narrow mar
gin of 10000 votes out of more
than 100000 cast, virtually COM
plete returns showed today.
The Democratic executive, cam
paigning on the States financial
record, escaped the sweep of Re
publicans into other major offices
by defeating Charles j. Warner.
In addition to capturing key
points in the State government,
the G.. o. P. won two congressional
seats and control of the Nebraska
delegation in the House of Repre-
sentativeS with a 3-to-2 majority.
The Washington times., 1938-11-10

The bitterness of the campaign,
in which the veteran Democratic
governor won his fourth term by
a narrow margin over his Repub-
lican foe, was forgotten when the
two men and their wives came
face to face in the crowded lobby
between acts.
Governor Lehman instantly eX-
tended his hand. District Attorney
Dewey, looking a trifle red around
the ears and a bit flustered by
the unexpected encounter, grasped
Lehman's hand and shook 1t
heartily, while their wives smiled
and bowed.

Mendleson in the latter's place OF
business, in the 500 block of Vir.

NEW STRATEGY
TO Be MAPPED
BY ROOSEVELT
Quits Hyde Park Today
For White House
BY GEORGE DURNO

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Nov. 10
U.N.SO President Roosevelt
turned back to Washington today
to revamp New Deal strategy to
meet the swingback in Tuesdays
elections, when an apprecianle Re-
publican trend was manifest for
the first time in eight years.
There was no indication the
President intended to abandon
any Of the salient points in his
social and economic reform pro
gram. Sideline observers, antici-
pating that some Of his pro-
posalS might come in for more
robust opposition as a result Of the
off-year elections, waited to see
how he would revise his attack.
WILL SEE FARLEY
The Executive was leaving Hyde
Park for the National Capital
early this afternoon. One of his
early callers back in the White
House will be Democratic National
Chairman James A. Farley, who
has been in frequent telephonic
communication with the President
since Tuesday.
Beginning almost Immediately.
Mr.. Roosevelt must start a pro
longed series Of conferences that
will determine the contents Of the
two meSSageS-budget and annual
he will deliver to the newly
elected Congress next January,
Still holding a large majority
in both Senate and House, the
President will have more trouble
next session than last in getting
through Government reorganizac
ton, his friends agree. He has
served notice he will continue this
fight.
FARM SITUATION
Election results in Iowa,
Kansas and other farm belt States

with portions of the Administra.
tlon agricultural policy, caused
observers to believe the President
and his agricultural secretary,
Henry Wallace, would again take
stock Of the agrarian problem.
Agitation for revision of the
Wagner Labor Act apparently
was brought sharply to the fore
by Tuesdays reduction of the New
Deals preponderant congressional
Gov. Frank Murphy,
one OF the Presidents personal
candidates, was defeated for re-
election in Michigan mainly on
labor issues.

Wedged into a corner Of the
lobby by fashionable mob which
clapped and stared, the Lehmans
and Deweys were unable to move
for 10 minutes. During this time,
the Governor and the handsome
young man he put in the political
spotlight, when he appointed
Dewey special rackets prosecutor
of New York, chatted amiably to-
gether. Dozens of flashlights ex-
ploded in tn cir faces as news

pledged himself to battle for ma

planks in his platform, adherence
to the $30-Every-T Thursday "Han

Progressive Meeting in
Capital Arranged

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 G.N.S0
While Republicans appraised the
fruits Of Tuesdays election Mayor
IF. H. LaGuardia arranged today
for a conference of Progressive
LEADERS.
Republican victories were, the
Independent Progressive mayor
conceded, "a black eye for the
New Deal" but he maintained the
damage can be repaired.
MEETING HERE
LaGuardia, a leading force in
the American Labor Party, said
he intends to call a meeting OF
Progressive leaders in Washington
next week. To this conference he
will invite Senator Robert M. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin; George w.
Norris, of Nebraska; Gov. Frank
Murphy, Michigan'S Democratic
executive who was denied re-elec-
ton, and other leaders in the pro
gressive movement.
II believe that one must be
realistic about it and under
stand that the progressive forces
in several of the States SEEM
ingly have been disintegrated,"
observed LaGuardia.
ADJUST DIFFERENCES
LaGuardia, a close friend of
President Roosevelt, has approved
most of the Administrators poll
cieS and legislation. He now sees
the necessity for a concise, pro
gresSive program, and stated that
results Of Tuesdays election means
that labor must adjust its differ.
enceS.
LaGuardia said:
"You have a situation of sup
porters of progressive, humane,
economic welfare legislation
being opposed by the old line
parties; you have candidates in
the Democratic party who are
not sympathetic with progress
sive legislation, and you have
progressive candidates in the
Republican party who do not
agree with the control and
management of the party, and
the result is an increased
strength to the forces of re-
action.
THAT means but one thing
that the progressive forces in
this country have got to get to-
gether."

In fact, Democratic politicians
who will have to try all over again
to be elected in 1910, plus those
who owe their Government jobs
to the President, today figure that
the ONLY man to save the Demo-
cratic party next time is none
other than F.D.R. himself.
Their argument is this: Where
in the party is a leader who can
really go to town but the Presi-
dent himself?"
FIRST REACTION
First reaction Of the professional
Democratic politicians Is to view
Robert Taft, new Ohio Senator,
as the best man the Republicans
can put up against F.DR.
However, Democratic politicians
today feel that the real puzzle
for a third term or any other
Democratic success is in the Farm
Belt. Just what the farm vote
yesterday means in terms of op-
position to the New Deals crop
control is going to be the subject
of careful scrutiny.
Kansas, testing ground, gave the
New Deal crop control a slap
but politicians feel it does not
the farmers want less. They
want MORE. So the politicians
say.

FIGHT ON HOPKINS

Outstanding among the possible
House developments as the direc
result of the election were:
/. Fight to oust Harry l..

setting up nonpartisan, locally
administered relief syst e m.
Many House Democrats. as we'll
aS Republicans, have battled un-
successfully to this end in the
past.
2. Slashing of the huge Fed
eral budget in an effort to cut
deficits. Many veteran South
ern Democrats, such as Chair
man Doughton CD. North
Carolina, of the House Ways
and Means Committee, have
consistently but unsuccessfully
demanded retrenchment.
8. Smothering of attempt to
extend National Labor Relations
Boards power through separate
legislation.
SCRAPPING OF F. DIS BILL
4. Virtual scrapping of the
Presidents government reorgin-
ization bill of last year, which
was recommitted to committee
by overwhelmingly Democratic
House. Democratic leaders had
promised passage next winter.
Congress may write it's own
farm bill. Important phases of
present AAA were pushed
through House committee only
through strong Administration
pressure.
Republican leaders prepared to
demand a change in the commit
tee ratio in the House as a result
Of their gains.
NEW RATIOS
Instead Of the present division
on many committees of 18 Demo
Gratis and seven republicans. the
ratio may be changed to Is to 10
This III itself would present ar
opportunity for anti-New Dea,
coalitions to smother legislation in
committees.
The possibilities Of such q
change is emphasized by the diff
ficulty the New Deal experienced
in blasting such important meas
Mes as wage and hour legislation
from overwhelming Democratic
committees.
A ratio of IS Democrats to 10
Republicans on the powerful
House Ways and Means Com,
mittee may menace both admin
astration tax and Social Security
revision plans.
THE TAX BILL
It Is admitted that such mea-
sureS as the undistributed profits
tax were reported by this com
mittee only as the result of New
Deal pressure. he Republican vic
tory at the polls, many observers
believe, has removed all chances
of the Administration restoring
the undistributed profits tax,
which evoked loud protests from
business.
Acting Republican leader Joseph
Martin, Of Massachusetts, loudly
proclaimed that the rubber

In the future, he declared, Con
gress will write the laws. Martin
openly welcomed dissident Demo

can be formed which will rule the
