PARKER'S FAT {
IN HANDS Of
'DOUBTFULS'
Administration Leaders Hope
Weeks Vote Postponement
May Bring More Support

Administration leaders, appar-
emily believing the Senate is pre-
pared to refuse confirmation Of
Judge John j. Parker as an as
sociate Supreme Court Justice, to-
day sought to postpone the final
vote until next week.
All indications point to rejec-
ton of Parker if the vote is taken
today although the nominees fate
actually rested in the hands of
eight Senators now clasSed as
doubtful" The men who can
either confirm or reject Parker
by the overwhelming weight OF
their votes were Black, Brock,
Connally, Sheppard and Tydings,
Democrats, and Jones, McMaster
and Thomas OF idaho. Republi,
cans All have been clasSed AZ
one time or another as opposed
to Parker, but administration
leaders insisted most Of them
would vote for his confirmation
in the end.
Sentiment Shifts
The International News Service
poll showed q constantly shifting
tide of sentiment in the Senate.
Veteran legislators said there had
been more shifts than on any
other vote in recent history. The
poll disclosed a. Senators def
nitely pledged against Parker
and only Al favoring him. with
three Senators absent or unheard
from. This did not include the
eight Senators classed as doubt
full"
There was a deep resentment
among Senators opposing Parker
over the activity in his behalf by
the Hoover administration. The
opposition leaders particularly
condemned the Presidents action
in calling to the White House
several Senators previously looked
upon as hostile to Parker but
who came away announcing they
would support him.
Open Political War
While the debate on Parker
started on a high judicial plane.
it has developed into open politi,
cal warfare. Parker'S opponents
have charged President Hoover
with naming him merely to keep
NORTH Carolina in the Republican
column. This charge was sup,
ported first by a letter, urging
that very reason for naming
Parker, written to Walter H. New.
ton, a Hoover secretary, by
JOSEPH M. Dixon, assistant Secre-
tary of Interior. It was further
supported by kilograms sent
Republican Senators by the
North Carolina State Republican
organization, urging Parker'S con,
firmation because his defeat
would destroy the Republican
party In that state.
The Parker adherents retaliateC
by reading kilograms from Negro
organizations threatening defeat
to Republican Senators who sup
ported the nominee. Senator
Tess (R.O of Ohio, said he had
received several such threats
Administration leaders stressed
these threats in the hope of driv'
ing southern Democrats into
Parker's fold over the racial
issue. Thus far, two Southern
Democrats announced they would
vote for Parker on that ground
while two more were reported

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Loadon Ike5 a revue called Wake Up and L.cam,7 and Charles B. Cochran and Arch selwyn, convinced that Broadway would like it too, have brought hither an American edition with Jack Buchanan as its star.
 Buchanan is the same handsome and politely rowdy comedian who has been a favorlte hereabout5 since he came ever with Beatrice Lille and Gertrude Lawrence in the first Chariot Revue.
 Tle is flanked this time by some ] new continental and British favor ite1-Jessia Matthews, colleen i m0orelsh lass with a soft voice and agile feet; Tina Meller, sister cf the Spanish diseuse Raquel, who does castilian dances with vlgor and lean; and Jean Barry, grace ful exponent of the tango.
 But the most impressive Of MT Buchanan's feminine allies is lilly LoSch Of Germany, a classic dancer whose capability enabled the $22- a-seat first nighters to forget that some of the slzits of this new and lavish revue were rather thread bare and some of it's opulent scenes lacking in punch.
 1 Miss Losch has been here before as the partner of the German in tcrpretatiye dancer Kreutzbsrg, but I her current visit promises to make Manhattan definitely Losch-cons- cious.
 T Notable are her Dance of the Hands done to music by Ravcl as she sits swathed in black and motionless below the waist; and i her Gothic dance to a Bach fugue l wherein she and partner personlIy i two figures from a cathedral win- dow come to life.
 Two other distinctive numbers are high spots in Wake Up and I Dream the Cole Porter song, I'm a Gigolo," sung by Buchanan; and the incredible antics of a stage horse in which the front and hind legs are the English brothers Grif- filth.
 The outstanding contribution to musical comedy of the new Bol- ton-Ka l m ar Ruby piece, "Top Speed" is its comedienne, Virginia Rogers.
