how Libera swing Il
By DANIEL M. BERMAN x
e Supreme Court, except for f
the Girard case hearing set tir §
uly 8 is closing down {ts rezular B
mo tomorrow, As far as vocal &
‘elements in Congress and the ed- #
tminstration are concerned, the re~ #
cess js coming not a moment too
soon, A few more Decision Daya like E
the last would be hard.to take. “
In a Series of momentous actions E
nm Monday, the Court put ita sia-
iter branche) of government oni
notice that their days of freewheel-
jing wubversive-hunting are over.
'Cangressional committees, the De- 4
partment of Justice, and the vari-
ous State legislatures came in for
severe tongue lashings as a new
Hibersl majority on the Court as-
setted ite strength.
Until recently, the Lberal Jus-
ces were in a distinct minority.
Readers of Supreme Court opintonrs
were accustomed to a weekly re-
-frain: “Mr. Justice Black and Mr.
Justice Douglas, dissenting.” Hugg
L. Black and William ©. Dougla:’ EB
two of Président Roosevelt's ap: “i
pointees, had found theroselves in- IF
rreasingly tsolated as their fellow: i
veltians moved to the righi
md as President Truman placed i
mservatives like Fred M. Vinson.
‘om Clerk, Harold H. Burton and
Sherman Minton on the Court.
But today Justices Black and
uglas find that thelr years in the
Serness are over. Overnight the
itustion has chang, and they &
ow constitute the nucleus of a §
ew liberal alignment on the Na- ff
tlon’s highest court. Their aston- E
ishmient at this turn of events mus! £
be particularly great because their :
Uberal lites have been selected by pr F
Republican President—Dwight D &
fratover .
isenhower Picked Four
During his years in office, Mr.
Kisenhower has named four JuSficcs
to the Supreme Court—one shori
of a majority. His first appointer
ywas Far] Warren, a former gover-&
fnor of California and the 1948
publican vice prealdential cand-
date. Nominated to mucceed Chir
Justice Vinson, who had bein
cliosen by President Truman, Chj:{
Sptie Warren discovered thet Pris
cimstitiutional views were not fir
B titom those of Justices Black and
Douglas.
