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.

“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

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.
