Hoover Sticks to Guns

Hoover Sticks to Guns
 Washington, May s (UP)-Presi- dent Hoover has assured his sena- torlal leaders the existing supreme court vacancy will not be filled by an independent republican or a democrat, the United Press learned today from q source Of unquestlon- able reliability.
 Mir. Hoover would not appoint his own brother if he were a coalition ist, these anxious senators have been informed
 The president is pictured by his friends as being very much aroused by the 4 to 30 senate rejection yes- terday of his supreme court nomi- nee, Judge John J. Parker Of North Carolina. He traces this defeat 10 the same stubborn opposition Of the coalitionists which only a few months ago mustered 2s votes against confirmation Of Chief Jus tice Hughes.
 The presidents attitude is such that he might fire the Parker nomi- nation right back at the senate again, according to these same friends. but they do not expect he will do it. They believe he will brave the senatorial fire or not ap- point anyone until congress ad- journs for the summer. In the lat ter event, he could name Parker for 3. recess appointment to conclude when the senate meets again in De cember, though this again is regard ed as unlikely.
 Studies Court Material
 The department Of justice has, however, made a complete survey Of supreme court material through out the country.
 It investigated the' availa bility of circuit and federal judges shortly after the death of Justice Sanford, which caused the present vacancy. T. was from this material that Mir. Hoover chose Parker, a judge Of the fourth circuit and a southern re- publican.
 Under normal conditions the president would be expected 10 go again 10 the south for d candidate. although available republican ma tcrial in that section is not so plen- tiful as in normally republican states in the east and north.
 Numerous recommendations are being planned by republican sena- tors who stuck with Mfr. Hoover in the long and bitter struggle for Parker. Mir. Hoover has always sought to avoid senatorial pressure by making speedy appointments be- fore the senators have a chance 10 get into the White House with their recommendations He followed that course in the Hughes appointment as well as in several others. Conse- quently his friends believe a new name may be submitted without great delay.
 There was no aftermath of the dramatic Parker vote in the senate. Senators turned from the tension Of the Parker roll-call to routine business. Declining 10 be quoted for fear their statements might be mis- interpreted as elation. the Parker opposition leaders expressed a be- lief that the rejection of Parker
