Washington, Dec. 29. Republican independents are seriously consider ing a third party movement in iviz in the event the republican and dem ocratic conventions fail to nominate a man to their liking. The group comprises the senate in- pendents. It is opposed to renomm- ation of President Hoover, Conferences have been going on among the members looking to a con test against Hoover's nomination but no single candidate has been agreed upon. Norris Shies From Race. The veteran Senator Norris of Ne braska has been asked to make a contest against Hoover's nomination, but has declined to enter the nom ination race. Norris, however, is definitely un derstood to be ready to support any of four candidates under consider ation. If a third party were organized he is looked upon, together with Senator Borah of Idaho as a likely head of the ticket. Possible candidates under consid eration for an anti-Hoover race in the republican primaries are Sena tors liorah, Johnson, of California and Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania. Won't Talk Publicly. None of the republican independ ents, including representatives from the northwestern states, is willing to talk publicly of the plans of the group. It is known, however, that the members have been meeting and sizing up the situation. Privately they intimate very broadly tiat none of the potential democratic presiden tial candidates with the possible ex ceptica of Gov. Roosevelt of New- York ,is acceptable. Also, there is a conviction that President Koover has the power to renominate himself. Bciah Always Regular. Consequently the talk of a third rarty was frowned upon in public statements a year ago by both Nor ris and Borah. Senator Borah has always stood by the republican party. He did so in the split of 1912 when Theodore Roosevelt headed the "bull moose' icket. However, Borah has been in fre quent conflict with the Hoover pol icies, principally the tariff and faim relief. His name is linked in the talk of a third party movement.

Wll!llll!illllli!ilin THE FIREMEN'S BALL The annual ball given by the mem bers of the Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire department will be held on New Year's eve, Thursday night at the American Legion building. This event is an annual occasion and the funds derived from the dance is applied to the funds of the de partment to be used in caring for the special expenses that the members may have, such as cleaning clothing that they may have injured in fire fighting as well as special demands that may be made on the department which is not covered by the city ap propriations. The firemen are ready to respond at any time to the call of necessity and their splendid work at fires have saved the citizens thousands of dol lars from property loss by fire. This is the only entertainment for profit that they oJfer during the year and should and usually does have a strong response from the residents of the community. TO UNDERGO OPERATION Frank Slatlnsky, Jr., departed Sun day for Omaha where he entered the University hospital at that place to undergo an operation for appendi citis. The young man has been suf fering from this trouble for some time and it was decided that he should have the operation at this time in order to relieve his case. The many friends are trusting that he may soon recover from the oper ation and be able to return to this city restored to his former good health.
