Make Fight To
Confirm Parker


Washington, May 3. U.H-Behind
he scenes, administration leaders
were making their last desperate
fight today for confirmation of
Judge John j. Parker as an asso-
eiate justice of the supreme court.
The senate was not in session, hav-
ing recessed until Monday
The outcome of the Parker fight
will depend upon how many votes
Republican leaders are able to mus
ter during the week end. Half a doz-
en- votes still are doubtful. They all
are needed to confirm the nominee.
No one was willing to predict to-
dav when the final vote on Parker
will be taken. Although the debate
has lasted a week already, it ap-
peared likely that another two or
three days will be consumed.
