With the anchoring OF the ship

summation Of a childhood ambi-

In the orchard Of r. T. Browse

Editor, Times:
The traffic bureau seems to
be having a hard time working
out traffic relief in the downtown
sections, and it appears to me
that this can be taken care of
somewhat if the Commissioners
would grant use of several vacant
lots in the downtown section to
be used for parking only, without
having to have the consent of
property owners within a 200
area.
I know of one place on Fiji
teenth Street between L and M
that is kept in a clean, smooth
condition, and the party spent
several hundred dollars to i'm
prove it to be used as a parking
place only.
The building inspectors shut
this lot down for not having a
permit, and under the rule of the
Commissioners this permit would
include a gas station, garage and
so forth. and the present party
does not want to use this COR
anything but parking autos only.

North Carollnian Jurlst
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

"a.
Debate in the Senate on the
nomination Of John j. Parker al
an Associate Justice of the
United States Supreme Court
will begin on Monday with every
indication pointing TO defeat OF
the North Carolina jurist.
President Hoover has made and
Is still making strenuous efforts
to overcome the opposition, but
it. appeared today that he has
failed to make much progress.
One poll. taken by a Repub-
lican leader and communicated to
the White House, showed b5
Senators ready to vote to reject
the nomination. Several other
polls showed lesser total, but
none of them offered any real
hope that the North Carolinian
can be confirmed.
Hoover Obdurate
Rumors cropped up again to
day that the nomination might
be withdrawn before Monday, but
these rumors were strongly denied
at the White House. President
Hoover, it was said, has no In.
tention of withdrawing. the nom.
ination. and moreover, has ex.
pressed the wish that Judge
Parker himself not take any
initiative in this direction.
Parker. it is understood, has sent
word that he will "stick."
Thus, unless there is some mis-
sionary work done over the week
end, the stage seems set for Sen
ate rejection Of a Supreme Court
nominee for the first time. in
many years.
Opposition to Judge Parker.
like that in the case of Charles
Evans Hughes, has grown arnaz-
tngly since his nomination was
sent 20 the Senate. It has had
the characteristics Of a SNOWFALL
rolling down hill.
Half Senate in Arms
Confined at first to a handful
Of labor leaders who resented his
decision upholding the so-caIled
yellow dog contract in the West
Virginia mine fields, it spread to
negro organizations and so com.
pelling has been the combined
effect Of these groups that more
than half the Senate is now
aligned against the, North Caro-
Inian. -.
The vote on Parker will show
party lines smashed to smither-
eens. Some of the most regular
Of the regular Republicans will
be found voting against the Ad-
nlinistration and, conversely, some
Of the most consistent Administra-
ton opponents will be found in

Mr.. Hoover will have to rely
chiefly on Democratic votes for
his nominee. The regular Re
publicans from States which have
large negro voting populations are
off the reservation completely.
