Justice Vinson Said Opposed to Entering Race WASHINGTON (tfVThe Wash ington. Post said Wednesday night that Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson will not permit himself to become the Democratic candidate for Pres ident even if drafted. A copyright article by Philip L. Graham, publisher of the news paper, declared the nation's high est judge is convinced that even the gravest emergency cannot jus tify an exception to the non-political role of the court. Vinson had been frequently mentioned as a possible Democra tic nominee in case President Tru man bows out. Graham wrote that the chief justice's decision was based on a strong belief in the independence of the Supreme Court, and was made prior to June, 1948, when he became chief justice. "The knowledge that the chief justice is not available is bound to have a major Impact on democra tic calculations, as well as on the president's own planning," the article said.
