North Carolina, Hoover nominee for the Supreme Court when was turned down by the Senate several years ago after strong labor and Negro political lobbying still yearns for a seat on the highest bench.
One of the charges that helped block Parker here was that he had been a lawyer for public utilities. But he has conspicuously upheld the administration in the Duke power case involving PWA financing of municipal power plants.
Recently Parker undertook to show up Chief Justice Hughes, who had adjourned with his court for the summer after sending the Duke case back to the lower courts because of a technicality of omitting one word in a pro-New Deal decision. (Hughes was believed to have done this in order to avoid a threatened 4-to-4 decision.)
Parker at once went to District Judge Glenn, urged prompt action, got a decision from Glenn in May, set a session of his own appeals court for Aug. 3 and produced another favorable decision, with the technical omission repaired, in three days. This midsummer speed, his friends believe, was aimed by implication at Hughes and was another indication of Parker's Supreme Court ambition.
