may materially affect the contro- versy.
 Naming of Justice
 The constitution provides that the President may fill supreme court vacancies occurring during recess of the senate. The appointees may take office and perform their duties. But unless confirmed by the senate before the end of the next senate session, the appointee automatically is removed from office. A vacancy occurring during 8 senate session may be filled except when the senate is in sesison to confirm or reject the nomination. The court will recess June and meet again in October.
 Therefore, Justice Van DevanterS successor will be named before this session of congress ends. It appears possible now that the adjournment may be forced back to early autumn in view of MT. Roosevelt's insistence upon consideration of his executive department reorganization plan, wages and hours legislation and national planning, including flood control.
 Robinson, Senate Choice An extended sesison and several months in which to make a choice will coincide with MT. RooseveltS plan if he is unwilling to name Sen" ator Joseph T. Robinson, who ap- parently is the unanimous choice of the senate for the high bench. By late August or September the pressure for Robinson may be !ost or diminished in the press of other political interests. If MT. Roosevelt long delays naming successor, lt probably will be assumed that the honor is not going to Robinson.
 The claims advanced for Robinson include his record of good soldering under the New Deal. Robinson was prohibitionist, yet he followed MT. Roosevelt to vote the repeal amendment and for 3.2 be-: in lS3..
 Robinson supported the President bv voting mo" on these typical bills, thought to be politically dangerous for their opponents; payment of pre- vailing local wages to relief work CTS. reduction of the work relief ap- propiration ana the Patman Bonus bill. ,.,
 He voted for the Wagner Labor Relations Act, lhe death sentence clause of the Public Utilities Holo- ing Company bill and the extension of MIRA. He voted for the surprise tax-the-weath bill which MT. Roose- welt insisted congress enact.
 Once last year the senate leader baked. He voted to pay the soi. diers' bonus in cashable bonds ana then voted to override MT. Roose- velt,s veto, Otherwise he stood oy his leader, even to the exten of leao- ing the fight to salvage sometnmg of the Passamaquoddy tide harness ing project of which democrats gem erally were not fond. .
 Robinson is alleged, however o have a pre-New Deal record of con servatism, especially with respect 10 nublic utilities questions. Senator Huey P. Long once read to the sem ate list of clients served by Robin son,s Arkansas law firm from which he has since resigned. It included various banks and railroads ana some of the largest southwestern utilities companies.
 Robinson voted in 1928 against senate liberals who sought a senate Investigation of public utility propa- ganda. His vote helped shift tne Investigation to the Federal Irade Commission. The ETC made an inquiry so cold and searching that some persons believed the job nao been done better than senate com mittee would have performed 1t.

1t was reported, and have been a severe blow to his pride.
 Many DisappOintmentS

1t was reported, and have been a severe blow to his pride.
 Many Disappointments
 First denied the attendance Of members of his own family at his wedding to Mrs. Warfleld on June 3, only 10 days hence, the duke now has been denied even the priv ilege of a religious ceremony.
 In addition, it was reported today, he Is disappointed because the Royal family has not yet formally an- nounced his engagement in the court circular, which records activ1- ties of the Royal family.
 There has been delay also, 1t was said. in transferring the $5OO,OOO which is understood to be the con- tribution of the Royal family to ln- sure Mrs. Warfield's financial inde- pendence in case that the duke pre-deceased her. This sum would be kept in trust. ,,,
 It is emphasized that present ill., feeling is entirely between the duke and the government. He Is said 10 be on better terms than ever with members of the Royal family, who appreciate his position and under stand why he is so worried.
 Preparti0ns Progress
 Preparations for the cevil wedding at the Chateau De Cande where he and Mrs. Warfield are guests are progressing. A French notary called at the castle to attest the final papers.
 The man who was idolized bare six months ago as king-emperor ana defender of the Protestant 1altn must now content himself with a provincial British consular officer as the sole representative or ms country at the wedding for which he gave up his throne. It IS ex- pected that the government will per- init Consul w. Cummings Graham of Nantes to attend and this E regarded here as more mattel of red tape than of a concession.
 French Clergyman Refused
 It was thought at first that clergyman of the Church of Eng land might be authorized to officiate then that the local French Protest ant minister might act. But even fine French Protestant minister an nounced last night:
 T must refuse to marry them De- cause oppose the remarriage ol divorced persons"
 There seems no doubt that the duke is intensely bitter. It is under stood also that he has listened with interest to counsels from powerful emissaries who are championing him with the idea of i1suring his reha' bilitation, and obtaining full honors as . royal highness" for Mrs Warfield.

 Query Both Sides
 Paris, May 22-(UP)-Great Brit ain has asked the Spanish Loyalist and Nationalist governments for their comment on plan to arrange a truce during which all foreign volunteers would be withdrawn from Spain, 1t was understood to- day.
 France and Belgium have offered their full support for the plan and replies are awaited from Germany, Italy, Portugal and Russia.
 It is hoped that these replies may be received by the time the Spanish combatant regimes reply to the British request.
 The British government ap- preached the Loyalist and Nation alist governments through diploma tic agents in Spain, instructed by the temporary embassy at Hendaye, on the French-Spanish frontier. Replies from the German, Italian, Portuguese and Russian govern. ments are to be made through the non- n-intervention committee at Lon- don.
 War Zephyrs
 Gibraltar, May 22-(UP)-The Spanish Nationalist radio station at Seville asserted today that Nation alist airplane bombs started several fires aboard the Loyalist battleship Jaime Primero a raid on a LoyaliSt fleet between Almeria and Carta- gena, off the southeast coast.
 The Loyalist fleet included the Cruisers Miguel De Cetvantes and Mendez Nunez, three destroyers, and a flotilla of submarines be lieved to be foreign" the station as- serted.
 London, May 22-(UP)-A Span- ish Nationalist communique broad cast from Salamanca today and picked up here asserted that Ma tionalist bombing planes registered 10 hits on the Loyalist battleship Jaime Primero and did serious damage.
 The Jaime Primero. 15.452 tons. with a complement of 854 officers and men, is the sole battleship in the Spanish navy. Its sister ship Espana, which the Nationalists had, was sunk recently off Santander- by a mine, apparently, though first reports was that Loyalist airplane bombs sank it.
