A Supreme Court box score"
disclosed yesterday that Justices
Black and Douglas, generally
known as leading dissenters, wrote
the most majority opinions while
Justice Frankfurter, often con-
sidered conservative by compari-
son. read the most dissents in the
term ending last week.
That, however, does not mean
the tribunal turned back to the
so-called liberal predominance
Of the Roosevelt era.
The complete record of opinions
and orders shows Justices Douglas
and Black stood more often in the
minority than did other members.
especially in outstanding decisions
of the term. There were numerous
cases in which the two justices
merely noted diSSentS.
A summary, compiled by Su-
preme Court Clerk Charles Elmore
Cropley and confined to written
opinions or judgments, listed JUS
tices Frankfurter and Douglas as
having each turned out % major
ity, concurring, dissenting or sep
arate opinions. Their combined
production of So accounted for al
most one-third of the total signed
opinions during the term. AS for
length, the writings of Justice
Frankfurter led all the rest.
Year Wasn't Easy.
This summary, as well as analy-
Sis of rulings and other actions,
dlspels any assumption that the
court had one of its easiest years.
Such a belief apparently made
headway because the 1885 cases
on the 1950-51 docket were 113
fewer than the previous year and
27G fewer than 1948-49.
Moreover, the current docket
was in such good shape that the
court managed to set a precedent
by not sitting for six weeks last
January and February.
Yet in the matters disposed of
and the complexity of the cases
considered, the record stacks up
as busy and productive session.
There was more to it than appears
on the surface of the printed rec
ord. Frequently, the briefly an
nounced dismissal of a review
petition or a one paragraph per
curiam opinion may have resulted
from as much conference debate
and study as did some of the big
gest opinions of the year.
The court recessed until Oc-
tober with 119 cases remaining,
largely because they were filed
during closing weeks. That COM
pares with 140 left over in June,
1850, and I'll in 1949.
It handed down 81 written ma
jority opinions. While that was
four more than last year, the over
all number of such opinions as
well as per curiam statements,
written or in orders, was below
the 1949-50 figure.
Besides tying with Justice Black
In writing IL majority opinions,
Justice Douglas also came within
one of matching Justice Frank
furter's total of IA written dis
SentS.
Justice Frankfurter wrote the
courts opinion or judgment in
eight cases, Justices Burton and
Minton in nine, Justices Reed and
Clark in 10. and Chief Justice
Vinson in II.

Black Douglas Top Scorers In Writing Majority Opinions

Isents of Justices Frankfurter and
douglas, there were 10 by Justice
Black, four each by Justices Reed
land Clark, three each by Justices
Jackson and Burton, two by JUS
Itice Minton and one by the Chief
Justice.
Justice Jackson furnished eight
of the % written opinions con-
curing with majority findings,
Justice Frankfurter, five, Justice
Douglas. four. and Justices Black
and Reed, three each. Justice
Frankfurter also supplied two
separate opinions" In the one
ion the color television decision
he sent laymen scurrying to Latin
dictionaries when he described
himself as ''dubitante."
Total Tops 1850 Output.
This total of 172 written pieces
iof all kinds was Is more than the
corresponding quantity last year.
More significant in the Supreme
Court picture are the following
other points:
The tribunal reversed lower
court decisions in 81 cases and
affirmed them in "a. In several
other cases there were reversals
in part.
There were fewer A divisions
and 5-4 splits. Practically all of
the A ties were in civil rights or
loyalty controversies such as the
unsuccessful appeal Of Miss
Dorothy Bailey. Many of the 5-4
decisions were on litigation that
attracted comparatively little pub
lie interest.

not always see eye to eye. Justice

groups such as C1O and AFL. But
Justice Frankfurter sided with
Justice Black in opposing a ma
jority decision written by Justice
Douglas that so-called fair

Justice Black lined up with
Chief Justice Vinson and Justice
Reed in dissenting in the impor-

No Opposition Seen
For A-Data EXCHANGE
BY the Assceioied Press

No opposition was in sight to-
day to Senate passage of a bill
authorizing the United States to
exchange carefully sifted, non-
weapons atomic information with
friendly nations.
The measure carries the unani-
nous approval Of the 18 Senators
and Representatives on the Joint
Atomic Energy Committee.
They recommended it Monday
and said Congress should pass it
before adjourning.
The committee said tangible
benefits" could come to this coun-
try by sharing atomic know how
with nations outside the Soviet
Russian bloc. It did not say
whether this country needs some
specific data which England.
Canada. France or some other
country might have developed.
But under some circumstances,
the group said. failure to un-
ldertake an arrangement with an
other nation would mean that the
United States will be less well
equipped to use atomic energy
for defense purposes"
The bill contains numerous safe
guards on the exchange of data.
An arrangement with another
country would have to be re-
lstricted to non-weapons material,
approved in writing by the Presi-
dent. unanimously agreed to by
the Atomic Energy Commission
and communicated 80 days in ad-
vance OF the exchange to the con-
