DRESIDENT TRUMAN, as
Il you have heard, does some
surprising things, particularly
where old friends are con-
cerned. II pal of long stand
ing invites him somewhere, the
chances are the President will
show up.
Now there is one place the
President of the United States
never goes and that is the
Supreme Court. There is no
actual law barring him, but
plenty of tradition.
The founding fathers estab-
lished the tradition. They
made ii clear that the judiciary
should be kept separate and dis
tinct from the executive. The
President. for all his powers,
was to keep his hands of the
courts.
Consequently no president
so far as my researches could
determine-had ever visited the
highest tribunal, not even to
borrow a black robe to make
blackout curtains. Never
having had a president visit
them, the Supreme Court JUS
ticeS had never bothered to lay
down any rules for receiving
one.
The upshot was that the JUS
tices were left floundering in
their robes when Mr.. Truman
suddenly appeared for the in
veSture of former Senator
Harold IL Burton of Ohio.
CENATOR BURTON thought
u il would be nice II his old
friend Harry Truman attended
the swearing in, but hardly ex-
pected him to accept. To his
surprise, the President did.
Burton's secretary, Earl f.
Hart, went over to the Supreme
Court to make the final ar
rangements. AS he was leav-
ing, he said to the Supreme
Court clerk:
"By the way, the President
will be here too!'
The usually imperturable
chief clerk let loose a scream:
The President! He can't
come herew
"Why not:" asked Mr.. Hart.
Because he can't" shouted
the clerk. I'VE just don't do
IT,"
Afraid the clerk might blow a
gasket, Mr.. Hart tried to be
soothing but il had no effect.
Finally he got exasperated and
snapped:
II don't care what you do
