NOT-SO-SECRET PASSION of Marshall’s for electric trains led friends to give him set for Christmas. Marshall (left) operates train for fellow lawyers. “It can’t be because of slavery in the past because there are very few groups in this country that haven’t had slavery some place back in the history of their groups. It can’t be color because there are Negroes as white as the drifted sn ow, with blue eyes and they are just as segregated as the colored men. “The only thing it can be is an inherent determination that the people who were formerly in slavery, regardless of anything else, shall be kept as near that stage as is possible, and now is the time, we submit, that this court should that is not what our Constitution stands for.” make it clear that The Supreme Court did indeed make it clear in its decision of May 17, 1954, that school segregation was contrary to the Constitu- tion. This was the key victory, but there still remained the problem of implementing the decision with an opinion on how desegregation should be accomplished. This was the opinion delivered last week. When he wins a case, Marshall normally blows off large quantities of steam. He once celebrated an important event by dancing a jig on the tables of a San Francisco restaurant. On another occasion he was so exuberant after a favorable Supreme Court decision that he gave his office staff explicit instructions that no phone calls were to come in for him without going through each one of seven assist- ant secretaries, whom he thereupon appointed. As a result Justice Frank Murphy was unable to get through the phalanx of secretaries to tender his congratulations. He had to write him a letter next day. And yet, when he won his greatest victory of all, the school segregation case last year, Marshall was strangely quiet. There was a big celebration party in his office, but some how It never got off the ground. “I guess the news was just too big for us,” says Mar- shall’s secretary, Alice Stovall. Marshall walked around as if in-—, daze. At one point he was heard to say, “You fools go ahead ai__ ! have your fun. But we ain’t begun to work yet.” Crab soup and chocolate ca ke N-the last year Marshall has been as busy as ever. A demon far work who spends at least three fourths of his time traveling {he racks up more than 50,000 miles a year), he has passed out from hard work and lack of sleep three times A friend has called him “‘a teakettle about to in the past 10 vears.- explode.” “This life is something,” Marshall said one day on his way out of an elevator. Ss y J “You never know when you’re going to m eet yourself coming around the corner.” Still he has leftover energy. On Jong train trips when his staff loses sight of him they have learned to look in the diner where he will be regaling the wa iters with loud jokes (he once had a summer job as a dining car waiter). Marshall has always had a not-so-secret passion for trains and a few years ago some friends of his gave him a fine toy train set for Christmas" ~ Outfitted in a striped engineer’s cap, he ha around the track for neighborhood kids. ppily ran the train\__ An accomplished cook, he specializes in crab soup. Also a pro- found sentimentalist, he once broke into tears when his wife told him his homemade chocolate cake was as good as she could bake. CONTINVEO ON PAGE 150 + “,
