...Associate Justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. All week long Senate sentiment for and against confirmation of this appointment divided so evenly that the result seemed to fluctuate within the narrowest margin of votes. All week long critics of Judge Parker flayed him for his Red Jacket coal case decision upholding a "yellow dog" labor contract, for his political animus toward Negroes. All week long his friends lauded his character, his integrity, his fitness for the highest bench...

Domestic, shy, Joyce rarely leaves home except for the opera or to dine at the famed Trianon Restaurant. Poor most...
...Included in this division were of course the venerable Johnson Motor Co. and Outboard Motors Corp., merger of Elto, Evinrude and Lockwood. The latter offered a 29-lb. folding outboard motor to be tucked into a small carrying case. Among the inboards, Universal Engine Co. showed the "Blue Jacket," a 4-cylinder, 45 h. p. plant for runabouts. Larger engines embraced Chrysler's new "Majestic," a 152 h. p. eight, and Winton's mighty new 16-cylinder V-type Diesel weighing 18,500 lbs. to give...
