; He advocated subsidies and
battled against sales tax legisla-
ton. While he suggested that
OPA price control "be kept a
little longer" in the face of heavy
public pressure for repeal in 1916,
he resisted a drive by labor un-
ions to break the little steel"
wage formula as long as the war
lasted.
After the death of Chief JUS
tice Stone in April, 1916, Presi-
dent Truman pondered long on
the choice of a successor. The
situation on the high court had
become particularly tense be-
cause of a "feud" between JUS
tice Black and Jackson.
The President selected Mr..
Vinson as the lucky 18th" Chief
Justice. The Bible used at the
swearing in ceremony on the
White House lawn June "a, 1916,
had been given to the Vinsons
on their wedding day in 1923 as
"a chart and compass for the
voyage"
Good Supreme Court Record.
AS a Supreme Court admins
TRAITOR" Chief Justice Vinson
contributed to a good record in
generally clearing the docket
each term. But he repeatedly
gave more time, if not latitude,
than some of his predecessors
did for conference debates on
cases and for lengthy number of
written opinions.
There was continued evidence
of sharp disputes between indi-
vidual justices in their formal
opinions. Chief Justice Vinson
was credited with substantial
progress in trying to reconcile
differences or prevent public
signs of pickering on the bench.

"Things do better when you
don't get hot and bothered" ac-
cording to an early Vinson
maxim that was often quoted.
On one of the few occasions
when unusual sternness replaced
his dignified but friendly method
of presiding, Chief Justice Vim
son stirred the courtroom in
April. 1948, by banging his gavel
to shut off a bitter exchange be-
tween Justice Frankfurter and
Lee PresSman, then CIO attor-
ney. The argument involved a
Taft-Hartley Act test case, and
when the questions and answers
grew more heated the Chief JUS
tice pounded his desk and de-
clared time had expired.
Figured in Stain Talk Plans.
Chief Justice Wilson's per-
sonal contacts with the outside
world" necessarily became more
limited because of his court
work. But in October, 1948, he
figured in dramatic plan for
a meeting with Russian Premier
Stain.
President Truman considered
the idea of sending him to Mos
COW to seek a settlement of the
Berlin problem" The President
later abandoned the idea, but de-
clared such a visit would not
have interfered with normal dip
lomatic procedures or the func-
tions of the United Nations and
the Council of Foreign Minis
terS.

All those qualities were nee
essary for success in the OES.
The job tested his firmness in
saying mo" and resisting all
manner of pressures inside and
outside the Government during
the war. Director Vinson dem
onstrated those qualities, but he
lost few if any friends among
leaders of business and labor as
we'll as officials in other Govern
ment administrative agencies.
Early in 1945, he was nominat-
ed as Federal Loan Administra-
tor. Congress had refused to give
Secretary of Commerce Henry
"A. Wallace the reconstruction
Finance Corp. functions that
Jesse Jones had exercised. Con-
gress, without debate or opposing
vote, confirmed Mr.. Vinson for
the post, covering RFC and other
operations involving more than
$40 billion.
Within four months he was
named director of the Office of
War Mobilization and Recover
sion, succeeding James F. Byrnes.
AS the war drew to a close, the
Washington accent was more and
more on reconversion. Among
Mr.. Wilson's first moves was the
lifting of such restrictions as the
midnight entertainment curfew
and the ban on horse and dog
racing.

anyone else in the executive
branch.
Mr.. Wilson's year as Secretary
Of the Treasury was a busy
period, especially in negotiating
the postwar British loan. He
worked closely with the President
in pushing a full employment
bill that eventually went through
Congress in much-revised form.
He suggested SIS billion tax
cut and repeal of the excess
profits tax. In several speeches
and announcements, he warned
that economic isolationism is
as dangerous to world peace as
political isolationism" and that
"the foundation for prosperity in
this country must be a large and
expanding consumption because
that is the only way we can have

declared. are not "acts of God

Politically, Mr.. Vinson was re-

former type" In Congress he
did not always go down the line

tion. He opposed an important

Chief Justice Vinson Dies
OF Heart Attack at Hotel

students in post graduate de-
partn1ents.
In one of his longest and most
vigorous opinions, Chief Justice
Vinson spoke for the court in
June. 1851. upholding the con-
viction of IL Communist leaders
on charges of advocating and
teaching overthrow of the Gov
ernment by force. The 10000
word decision held that the
Smith Act of 1910, making such
conduct a felony. was constitu-
tional as applied to the Com
muniSt Party ''politboro" in
His best known dissent was in

June, 1852. The. Chief Justice
was the only member of the
court who believed that then

tutional authority to seize the
steel mills. He held the Pres

faithfully executed"
In Dramatic Case.
The last decision the Chief
Justice read was the one that
doomed the atom spies, julius
and Ethel Rosenberg. On one
of the most dramatic occasions
in Supreme Court history, he
announced in open court last
June 19 that a majority of the
tribunal had decided to sweep
aside a stay of execution which
Justice Douglas had granted two
days previously. The Rosenbergs
were executed a few hours later.
Shortly thereafter. Chief JUS
tice Vinson released a formal
written opinion celebrating on
the brief order which had set
aside the stay. He stated that
Justice Douglas had power to
grant a stay under the circum-
stances. He declared that he.
as Chief Justice, also deemed
it proper and necessary" to call
the court into special session
after the end of the regular
term, so that it could consider
Attorney General Brownell's mo-
ton to set aside the Douglas
stay
The Price Control Act during
wartime had a vigorous defender
in Judge Vinson, although in a
court of appeals decision he re-
ferred to it as "a breath taking
legislative departure from our
peacetime economic policy"
One day in May, 1943, Presi-
dent Roosevelt telephoned to ask
if the judge would take an espe-
cially difficult assignment.
Among other things, said the
President, it would necessitate
resignation from a lifetime posi-
tion as a Federal judge. With
out hesitation and without
knowing what the new job would
be. Judge Vinson accepted.
The position was Director Of
Economic Sterilization. It in
volved holding the line against
imitation. The appointment pro-
vided another opportunity for
citing Mr.. Wilson'S intimate
knowledge of taxation and eco
nomic matters, his unusual pow
er of concentration on problems,

they explored the volcanic

by Ptolemy, the ancient Alex

On a previous visit, in De-
cember, 1851, Kay Sweeney be-
came interested in these vol

active. She climbed $4,000
feet in search Of the rare
plant life abounding there

lasting flower, which grows
nowhere else. The altitude
ranges from 5000 to 10000

vegetation, from tropic to
alpine, Is so unusual that
the landscape has been COM

Mrs. Sweeney brought back
many rare seeds, plants and

1t was cold that night and they had big
log fire in the living room. That was some
room! 1t had big windows all across the front
looking down on the marsh. And there were
hides all over the floor and antlers on the
walls - just like those places you see in the
movies.

heard them called - came down every year

time the plantation just laid there.

some of the visitors didn't know coot from
mallard. None of them could tell goose from
a gander and they didn't know how to feel
goose's wing and tell how old it was either So,
people like my father picked up easy money
helping them make the most of their time
The night, last December, they talked and
made plans and had some drinks l noticed,
though, that one MISUNDERSTANDING man,
with reddish cheeks and white hair, sat quietly
in corner and didn't drink anything He had
kindly look, but he also looked sad like dog
who's been whipped and doesn't know why
WHEN they were talking about blinds and
deciding who would go where. someone turned
to him, and said, Judge, how about you?
Ducks or geese tomorrow"
Then the white-haired man smiled and said,
Frank, if you don't mind, think III take it
easy tomorrow"
thought maybe the judge wasn't feeling
well, or maybe he was just old, so spoke up.
''I1l tell you, sir, said looking at the judge,
If you want to, can take you right close
where you can get goose. Won't take any
time, hardly"
They all laughed even the judge
"All right, Billy. But let me sleep late i
don't want to get up in the middle of the night

eyes, sir. It's good day."
And it was - for geese. 1t was cold, with
the damp cold that comes off the Pamunkey,
and the early morning sun didn't have
chance to break through low, dark clouds.
The judge seemed lot more in the spirit of
things today, thought. So we checked guns
and shells and told him to take few No. 6's
and lay off the bigger shot.
We walked toward this slough (same one
we're in now, Mr.. Watkins) and the judge
kept asking me about hunting.
BEST thing is to be sure you're in range"
said. you just can't do much to goose

Then thought maybe I'd been talking too
much. Il guess you know all this, though.

But DON'T" the judge said. You see,

ducks up North, and the boys wanted me to
come down here with them. No, Billy, it's
new to me"
And he kept asking me about the geese and
about hunting.
Geese are funny" said "A couple of
them have been feeding in this slough Been
coming here for long time, regularly. That's
the way they are.''
We sneaked on down the bank l fixed up
little blind and we Numbered down in the tall
grass and waited.
Another funny thing about geese" went
on, in low voice so as not to scare anything,
''is the way they live so long. Why, my father
tells me some of these old honkers may be
sixty years old or more and"

The judge was feeling in his pockets. His
double-barrel was open but he couldn't find
his ammunition.
The big goose tapped its wings and went
on to the head of the slough. Maybe the trees
were too tall there, or something, but any
way it headed back.
1t came in low, over the dead goose, and it
honked couple of times. 1t sort of futtered
there and then it sailed off, slowlike.
