Senator Norris, independent, OF
Nebraska informed his colleagues to-

the bitter, unreasonable and some
times malicious attacks" made on Sem
ator Black of Alabama prior to his
confirmation as Supreme Court justice.
In telegram to Chairman Ashurst
of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
Norris praised Blacks superior abil-
ity and undaunted courage, which are
seldom equaled, or surpassed" The
message was sent from Waupaca, Wis,
where the Nebraskan is resting after
an illness.
Expressing regret that he could not
participate in the confirmation de-
bate, Norris said that his long and
personal acquaintance" with Black
had given me true insight into
his character"
His nomination to that great
tribunal expresses the wish and hope
of the struggling citizen asking only
for justice for all alike" the telegram
read.
The scales Of justice in his hands
will bring renewed hope to millions
of our common people throughout
the country, and his nomination meets
with the hearty approval Of a vast
majority of our people.
He is worthy representative of
the common people. He understands
their homes and am bitiopS and their
liberties in his hands will be safe"
