NORTH CAROLINA JUDGESHlP.
There is no change in the North Caro-
lima judgeship situation. Mr: Purnell
clearly has the sympathy OF the Presi-
dent and the support OF senator Pritch-
ard. but the Attorney-General is OPP
posed 10 his appointment. To Senator
pointment The Attorney General de.
cined TO recommend II, adding that u
the President made the appointment
q vvouid he done against his protest
Tho talk that Judge Robinson IS favored
by the Acknowledgement because he Is
a Catholic is said 20 be unjust ana IN
founded The disagreemsnt between the
ATTORNEY General and the President is
The cause OF the delay. Senator Pr'tch-
ard Is urging action. and immediate ac-
tIon is promised.
Among the North Carolina arrivals to-
day were ex-Judge Allen of Godsboro'
John r. Woody and Clerk or the Person
