CHICAGO, February Valuable

three years and the poets widow be-
lieves they have been stolen.
The lost documents include the
manuscript of THE Love Affairs of a
Bibliomaniac, Fields last work and one
of the most popular of his prose
writings. Mrs. Field has refused an
offer of $500 for it.
Another missing document is the
original brief in the bred Scott case,
prepared by the poets father. Roswell
M. Field, who was leading attorney Of
St Louis.
Many letters written by James Whit
comb Riley to Field also are missing.
The two poets were close friends. For
many years Mrs. Field kept the docu-
ments in q safety deposit vault here.
Three years ago. however. they were
shipped under bond to a Tomahawk,
WIS, bank, to be more readily Access
sible to Mrs. Field whose home is near
Bradley, Wis. Only within recent
months has Mrs. Field discovered that
valuable documents are missing.

They Call 1t
DUMPING"

Further than this, they neglect to
explain that the service you may need,
and deserve to have, can no longer be
guaranteed, because the manufactures
has passed out of the picture. Likewise,
should you ever need new parts, YOU
are as much "out of luck" as a mariner
stranded on a desert island without
food Or shelter.
A radio is not purchased for a few
days Or few months of use. 1t should
be purchase for the years to come.
Therefore, when starting out to buy a
radio set, examine carefully the repu.
tation of the manufactures. Assure
yourself of his stability, his lasting
powers, SO that you may obtain the
service and parts necessary, if you ever
need them.
Buy only the radio set that you will
be proud to own and proud to show
your friends in the years to come. Buy
a set that will never be an orphan of
the storm"
When the bumpers" sing their siren
songs to you in lurid advertising which
brags of nothing but price, remember
that they, and not you, are the ones

so~called nationally known SETS that
were formerly worth $4,000, for
5000, probably enables them to buy
the same set for $1,000, $500, or even
less. Is it any wonder, not having to
worry about the future of your pur.
chase, that they boast of the merits of
their dump" products? Refuse to

Under the transportation act

GROWING FIGHT
DELAYS VOTE
ON PARKER
Action On Associate Justice
Delayed a Week In Senate;
Negroes Add to Opposition

The opposition to confirmation
of Judge John j. Parker, OF
North Carolina, as an associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court
grew so strong today that Admin
istration leaders postponed Tor q
week all action by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee on the nomina-
ton.
A subcommittee, led By Sen
ator Overman CD Of North Caro-
lima filed o favorable report with
the committee but the report was
pigeon-holed. The subcommittee
found that the charges made by
organized labor against Judge
Parker because of o decision
against union miners In West Vir-
ginia did not justify rejection Of
the nomination.
Senator Borah (R) Of Idaho,
the independent leader, filed q
minority report, opposing con-
firmation.
While Judge Parker's labor de-
cision in the Red Jacket" case,
sometimes referred to as the "Yel-
low Dog contract" case, drew
fire from the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the stumbling
block Of his confirmation prob.
ably will be the opposition OF
the Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People. This
association protested against Par
ker, charging that he had declared
he would resign the governorship
Of North Carolina If elected by q
single negro vote.
It was this charge which pro
voked Administration Senators to
appeal to President Hoover to
withdraw the nomination. The
President, however, decided to
stand by his appointee, and 50
announced. The Department Of
Justice, meanwhile, came to
Parker's defense with q long state
ment, explaining his decision in
the famous yellow Dog" miners
contract case in West Virginia.
The statement declared Parker,
as a Federal Court judge, had
merely followed the precedentS
laid down by the United States
Supreme Court in the Hinchman
case, which also involved the
anti-union contracts.

BILLS
UP IN HOUSE

BY mandate Of members Of the
Steering Committee, part-time
consideration Of District Of Co
lumbia legislation was to be per-
mitted in the House this after
noon, but controversial measures,
to which there is anything like
real opposition, are to be passed
over until another day.
This ruling will bar the taking
up Of the police and firemen'S
pay raise bill, and also the Nc
Leod measure to create q real
estate commission and to regulate
real estate operations in the Capi.
tai. It will permit the calling
up Of some half-doZen more minor
measures on the local calendar.
Indications were that the Dis
trict would share today with the
bill authorizing the President to
coordinate all Government &C.
tivities having to do with war
veterans. This latter measure
has been before the House at
intervals for the past week.
Both Senate and House Dis
trict committees have additional
hearings scheduled for the week,
probably the more important be-
ing that on the bill Of the Public
Utilities Commission to regulate
taxicab companies operating here
and to require them to show
that they are financially re-
sponsible."
