...assisted by Dr. Townsend's dark-haired young son Robert as secretary-treasurer, has found only 155 Congressional candidates worthy of T. N. R. P. endorsement.† About two-thirds of them are Republicans, including the three incumbents already re-elected in Maine and Senator Gerald P. ("Neutrality") Nye of North Dakota...
Through their waving wheat fields, North Dakota Republicans went to the polls last week to decide whether they would renominate (and thus virtually reelect) lean, jut-jawed Senator Gerald Prentice Nye, or send to Washington hulking, jut-jawed Governor William Langer instead.

The question has become important only recently with the development of offshore drilling, and the committee had few judicial decisions to guide it. The Senate applied the Nye resolution...
Read to the Committee, the Hull letter caused that body a few minutes later to vote 17-to-1 that consideration of the Nye Resolution be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Pittman symbolically tucked a copy of it away on a shelf for Capital cameramen...
