GUARD LEADERS
MEET HERE

The convention Of the Adju-
tants General Association of the
United States opened today at
the munitions building with the
national guard Of most Of the
States represented.
The delegates were welcomed
by Assistant Secretary Of War
F. Trubee Dawson. who declared
the national guard had developed
to point never before achieved
In the history Of the country.
He said:
"The national guards accom-.
plishments In the great war
demonstrated its fitness for .
vital part In our permanent
scheme Of national defense. Its
success earned the trust and
NEST fIattering Of rewards
increased responsibilities.
"As you know, Immediately
upon the outbreak Of the war
the guard Is charged with the
reinforcement Of the regular
army. These two agencies must
hold first line, while, behind
them, the huge masses Of re.
serves are being recruited, or
1ganized and trained.
I'm any prOtracted struggle
IL h to these last that we
must look for decision. But
the realization Of these great
national armies Is dependent
primarily on the efficiency and
on the tenacity Of that first
line. Such Is your task and IL
10 worthy Of yOu.
"Tt gives uS great satisfac.
tiOn to see how far the national
guard has advanced toward the
accomplishment Of its mis-.
SiOnS."

HOG BREEDERS
FIGHT LAW

FAIRFAX, Va. April 14.-Fair
fax county hog raisers are up in
arms over the terms Of the new
sanitary ordinance prescribing
methods for control of sanitation
on farms where large numbers
Of SwineS are fed and which
makes failure to meet the con-
ditionS laid down a misdemeanoI.
Many Of the piggery proprietors
claim that the terms of the new
law are impossible to meet and
as q result Of their objections
public mass meeting will be held
at Fairfax courthouse tomorrow
morning.
The ordinance was recently
passed as q result of repeated
protests from residents in the
Annandale. Seminary and BaileyS
Cross Roads neighborhoodS, who
claimed that conditions on some
Of the large hog farms in the
vicinity Of these communities
were a menace to health because
Of the alleged bad odorS which
polluted the air and the unsani-
tary feeding condition which
they said served as a breeding
place for diSeaSe-carrying flies.
AS result of this agitation, the
county board of supervisors re-
Gently passed an ordinance max
ing it compulsory for all hog
farms to construct concrete feed
ing platforms which were to be
flushed with running water daily.
Other sanitary regulations were
included and failure to obey the
law within 80 days after its
passage Is punishable by q fine.
The pig farmers state that the
conditions, imposed are difficult
to comply with, especially the
daily flushing of the feeding plat
forms with running water. The
heavy clay soils, it is claimed,
will not absorb the quantity OF
water necessary, even with the
construction Of cesspoolS or septic
tanks.
The meeting at Fairfax will be
attended by representatives of
the State board of health: county
sanitary officials, farmers and i'll,
tereSted officials.

CHOICE OF PARKER 1
|. FOR JUDGE STANDS
White House Announces FIat-tec
Iy Name viii Not Be %
Withdrawn. p

It was announced fatly at the White
House yesterday that President Hoover
will not withdraw the nomination Of
Circuit Judge John J. Parker Of North
Carolina to be associate justice Of the
Supreme Court.
This announcement was issued be-
cause of suggestions and discussions to
the contrary growing out OF the pro.
tests which have been received by the
White House and by Senators against
confirmation Of Judge Parker. It has
also been given out in Senate circles
that the President has been asked by a
number of Republican Senator's to
withdraw the nomination.
At the White House it was said the
President appointed Judge Parker be-
cause of his legal attachments and that
he felt the Senate should vote on the
question Of his confirmation.
The White House yesterday indicated
that up to the present the President
had not been advised to withdraw the
nomination Of Judge Parker, although
Vice President Curtis and other Repub-
lican leaders Of the Senate had called
his attention to the opposition which
has developed to confirmation.
In Serious Proportions.
While the statement given out at the
White House tended to minimize the
opposition to Judge Parker, talk In
Senate circles was that the opposition
had attained serious proportions.
Senator John M. Robson of Ken
lucky, Republican, called on the Presi-
dent yesterday to express his views on
the appointment of Judge Parker. Sen
ator Robson is stirred because of the
opposition OF colored voters, of whom
there are about 100000 in Kentucky.
He feels he cannot support Judge
Parker in view of this opposition from
colored voters
The nomination will come before the
Senate judiciary committee tomorrow.
The situation is such that it has be-
come doubtful whether a majority Of
that committee will support confirma-
ton. Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari-
iona, Democrat and member Of the
judiciary committee, yesterday de-
clared against Judge Parker. AS the
situation stands, the committee appears
to be about equally divided. However,
administration Senators were alarmed
lest vote, If taken tomorrow, be ad-
verse to Judge Parker.
Move to Hold on.
For this reason a movement is on In
hold on a vote in the judiciary COM
mittee for the present and to give the
storm which has been aroused in labor
circles and among colored voters a
chance to die down.
The Supreme Court will reconvene
tomorrow after a recess. It was the
nope OF the friends OF Judge Parker
tnat ms confirmation would be brought
aoout IN time so that he could sit with
the court tomorrow. This is of1vio',sIv
impossible. Not only is it likely that
the judiciary committee win not act
put 1t Is clear that when the nonnina.
ZION goes to the Senate there viii be a
oeoate r1valing the discussion at the
t1me OF the nomination of Charles y,
Hughes as Chief Justice.
