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.
