Senate how the in- dividual members of the Supreme Court have voted on Communist cases. He said, in part: Earl Warren took the oath of of- ce as Chief Justice in October 1953. In the four and a half years since he has been Chief Justice, the Court has consented to hear a fan- . tastic total of 39 cases involving Communist or subversive activities in one form or another. Thirty of these decisions have sustained the position advocated by the Com- munists, and only nine have been to the eontrary. Even more ii ously introduced in the RECORD, which starts with the year 1943, Hugo Black participated in a to- tal of 71 cases, and his batting aver- age is an even 1,000. Seventy-one times he voted to sustain the posi- tion advocated by the Communists, and not one vote or one case did he decide to the contrary. Jusuce William Douglas partici- pated i in 69 cases. His batting aver- age is slightly lower than Black's. Pro-Communist voted 66; anti- Communist, three. It is hard to believe, Mr. Presi- dent, that the Government, or the States, the Department of Justice, the Federal Burcau of Investipa- ificant than the “tion, the congressional committees, over-all result of these decisions is” the United States District Courts, an analysis of the votes and posi- tions taken by the individual judges. . This is from the tabulation previ- r ya AW" fou and United States Circuit Courts of Appeal were always wrong when it comes to Communists. NOT RECORDED oT 133 OCT 1¢ 1958 — —
