Judge Phillips is judge of the tenth judicial eircuit, which embraces Wyoming, Utah, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

Parker of North Carolina, who was attacked as an enemy of organized labor and of the colored people. This group of Senators, which includes some of the most regular Re- publicans, has backed two of the mem- bers of the Senate for appointment, Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana and Senator Bratton of New Mexico, both Democrats, believing that they are both qualified for appointment to the supreme bench and feeling that they could be confirmed without opposition.

Young Roosevelt's career, though di- vergent, has many parallels with that of his famous father. Theodore, jr. fought in the World War, was wounded and decorated for gallantry: he sat in | the New York State Assembly; served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy; en- gaged in a notable big game expedi- tion to the Himalayas, and abandoned | another expedition to become Governor of Porto Rico in October, 1927. He remained in that post until President Hoover selected him for the Philippine government. The Senate also approved the re- nomination of Lincoln Dixon of Indi- ana to the Tariff Commission. Dixon, a Democrat, was appointed | by Hoover when the commission was reorganized following enactment of the Hawley-Smoot tariff act. He is a former member of the House. The Senate also confirmed several hundred postmaster and Army nomina- tions and the appointment of Claude M. Henry of South Dakota to the Federal Board for Vocational Educa- tion.
