former U. S. Representative from Kentucky (1925-1929, 1931-1937), U.S. Circuit
Court Judge (1937-1943) and Secretary of the Treasury (1945-1946), was appointed
Chief Justice by President Truman in 1946, serving until his death in 1953.
During his term, the Supreme Court rendered important civil liberty decisions.
It ruled that the non-Communist statement required by the Taft-Hartley Act did
not violate the Constitution (1950), that a speaker who displays "a clear and
present danger" of incitement to riot can be arrested (1951) and that
segregation is barred in interstate railway travel (1952). Fold creases not near
signature. Lightly creased at bottom margin. Otherwise, fine
condition.
