Extract

Two changes in the personnel of the United States Supreme Court occurred during the 1956 Term. Justice Sherman Minton, appointed by President Truman in 1949, retired on October 15, 1956, at the age of sixty-five, for reasons of health. Prior to his appointment to the Court, Justice Minton had served as U. S. Senator from Indiana and had spent eight years on the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. To take his place President Eisenhower gave a recess appointment to William Joseph Brennan, Jr., who took the oath of office on October 16, at the age of fifty. A native of Newark and a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and of the Harvard Law School, he had served by appointment in 1949 on the New Jersey Superior Court, was advanced to the Appellate Division in 1950, and was appointed to the state Supreme Court in 1952. Justice Brennan was a Democrat, a Catholic, (the first since Justice Frank Murphy, who died in 1949), and the son of an Irish immigrant; and his appointment was announced just three weeks before the presidential election of 1956.

15 Executive Order 10241, 16 Fed. Reg. 3690 (1951). The original standard for refusing employment or for removal was that “on all the evidence, reasonable grounds exist for belief that the person involved is disloyal to the Government of the United States.” Executive Order 9835, 12 Fed. Reg. 1935, 1938 (1947). On April 21, 1951, President Truman changed the standard to “reasonable doubt as to the loyalty of the person involved.” It is clear, as Seth W. Richardson, then Chairman of the Loyalty Review Board, declared, that the purpose of this change in the standard was to lessen the degree of proof; it is easier to justify a doubt than to support a positive finding.

31 Kremen v. United States, 353 U.S. 346 (1957). In Carroll v. United States, 354 U.S 394 (1957), the Court held that an order for the suppression of evidence on the ground that there had not been probable cause for the issuance of the arrest warrants, made by the federal district court upon a motion filed after indictment and in the district of trial, is not appealable either under general federal law or under the law of the District of Columbia. It was ruled that the order was not a final order, and was not sufficiently separable from and collateral to the criminal case itself. It was stressed that no specific statute authorizes such an appeal, and that in general appeals by the government in criminal cases are unusual, exceptional, and not favored. But an order for the suppression or return of illegally seized property is appealable at once where the motion is made before indictment, or in a different district from that in which the trial will occur. Where the motion to suppress, however, is made by the defendant after indictment and in the district of trial, the denial of such a pretrial motion in this posture is interlocutory in form and effect, and thus is not appealable by the defendant; since the rule operates equally where the motion is granted, it follows that the government cannot appeal.

Kahanamoku, 327 U.S. 304 (1946), which refused to sanction the military trial of civilians in Hawaii during the war although the government claimed it was necessary for defense; and U.S. ex rel. Toth v. Quarles, 350 U.S. 11 (1955), which held that a military court could not constitutionally try a discharged serviceman for an offense committed while in the armed forces.

NLRB, 352 U.S. 153 (1956), the Court held that the exclusive remedy for filing a false non-Communist affidavit under Section 9 (h) of Taft-Hartley was the criminal sanction provided for in the statute. The Court held that the NLRB could not impose the sanction of denying the union its benefits under the statute.

72 United States v. Western Pacific R. Co., 352 U.S. 59 (1956). See also the companion case, United States v. Chesapeake & O. R. Co., 352 U.S. 77 (1956) which involved a dispute over an export rate for the carriage of military supplies. In this instance, instead of referring the case to the ICC, the Court remanded to the court of appeals so that a determination might be made whether the issue of tariff construction was within the primary jurisdiction of the administrative body, since the parties had not briefed or argued the factors working for or against the application of the rate in question.

77 Regina v. Hicklin, Law Reports, 3 Q.B. 360, 371 (1868).

84 Justice Frankfurter wrote: “History overwhelmingly establishes that many youths like the petitioner were drawn by the mirage of communism during the depression era, only to have their eyes later opened to reality. Such experiences no doubt may disclose a woolly mind or naive notions regarding the problems of society. But facts of history that we would be arbitrary in rejecting bar the presumption, let alone an irrebuttable presumption, that response to foolish, baseless hopes regarding the betterment of society made those who had entertained them but who later undoubtedly came to their senses and their sense of responsibility ‘questionable characters’.”
