to question the Attorney General about his activities during 8
the investigations of the Kansas City vote frauds. Charges
over this matter ranged from "fraud" to injudicious selection 9
of employees.
In addition, the Attorney General was opposed by many
on what would seem to be purely partisan grounds, as a means
of opposing the President. Tom Clark was called a "second-10
rate political hack," and many other epithets of a like
caliber. However, from all of this criticism he emerged un-
scathed. As violent as this opposition seems, it was primarily
the product of a small but vocal minority. On August 18,
19^9j the appointment of Tom Clark to be an Associate Justice 1 1
was confirmed by the Senate, seventy-three to eight.
Following this action the New York Times expressed its
disapproval: The Supreme Court of the United States is and
ought to be the most deeply respected institution of the Federal Government. On its independence and integrity rest the precious rights of every citizen. Its members ought to be chosen for their proven judicial ability and temperament, and not merely for their political and social opinions or their amiable personalities.

Associate Justice, too much emphasis has been placed on the latter qualities.
The Attorney General has been a loyal Demo-crat, faithful to Mr. Truman at a critical time, and an energetic administrator. None of his ac-tivities was such as to demonstrate the judicial temperament. The overwhelming vote of approval which the Senate gave him yesterday was largely the result of his personal popularity. We trust that if Mr. Truman should unhappily have to fill another vacancy in the Court, he will proceed in a less off-hand manner and with more canvassing of possible candidates—including those with ^ judicial experience—than he did in this case.
Thomas Campbell Clark, age forty-nine, married, with
two children, a Presbyterian, a Democrat, and a former
Attorney General, raised his hand and took the oath of office
as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court at the beginning
of the October term, 19l+9« He has now served on the nation's
highest tribunal for over fifteen years, and has been of
great importance in helping to overcome some of the most
difficult problems of this period. Tom Clark has certainly,
although not flamboyantly, made his mark on the American
system of jurisprudence.
Since his appointment to the Court Justice Clark has
consistently attempted to improve the legal system, off as
well as on the bench. He has taken part in a great number
1 of plans to increase the efficiency of the courts, J and has

CHAPTER III
THE SUPREME COURT AND CONGRESSIONAL POWERS
Fundamental to any understanding of the judicial re-
sponsibility is a definite comprehension of the role of the
Supreme Court in the American System of Government. Because
the Supreme Court can only function properly within the con-
text of the entire system, and not as a unit unto itself,
any attempt to delineate its appropriate role must necessar-
ily recognize that the Court is merely one component element
in the "broader context of the entire governmental structure,
its activity circumscribed by the appropriate province of
the other branches of the federal government and also by
that of the states. Only through such consideration can the
proper sphere for judicial activity be ascertained; only
through such determination can judicial performance adequate-
ly be evaluated.
Because the Supreme Court is one segment of the more
complex system, it is necessary to consider the proper spheres
of the other elements in the constitutional structure of
American government. For Mr. Justice Clark the proper sphere
of a legislature is to provide for the needs of society, by
acting within the political processes and unlimited by the

whicsh deal with the iinrestlgittory power most clearly refleet
the separation of powers inherent in the national government*
One oase where t&« Court severely limits Congress is ••fo.tklfia
X* tfal.tfe.d-. diet—«*6 This ease involved th® investigatory
power# of the House Ccssaittee on 13n~ American Activities, and
their control aver an alleged communist who refused to testify
•bout bi# former associations. Th© Court declared that the
House Comlttee had exceeded its power a* It was not#d at the
tint© that "th* Watkiaa case requires that Oongreae narrowly
define the seope of authority of its various litreetlgatlon

Mr. Justice CXark dissented, protasting "vaheraently"!®
against this use of tii© pew#!15 the Court to override the
actions of a coordinate branch of Mia federal govtrmaats * . • & trespass upon the fundamental Atterleen principle of separation of powers, the majority has siifcatitttted tiie Judiciary a# the grand in-quisitor and supervisor of congressional investi-gations* It has never been so#1'

In Rowoldt v. P e r f e i t o . 3 3 the Justice again dissented
from a decision which refused to uphold a deportation based
upon Communist membership. Justice Clark was of the opinion
that because of internal security this membership was indeed
sufficient to justify deportation. In the case of Castelum-
3 -
Quinones v. Kennedy the Court declared that the government
had failed to show meaningful association with the Communist
Party, and therefore reversed a deportation order. Again
Mr. Justice Clark would have upheld the conviction of a na-
tionalized citizen in Chaunt v. United States.35 because of an
allegedly willful suppression of information about communist
association. In Polities v. United States-' Justice Clark
merely joined an opinion of the Court which revoked citizenship
of a naturalized citizen because of communist associations.
These cases require careful scrutiny. It is important
to note that Clark never dissented alone. In Wit'kovich he
was joined by only one Justice,3? hut in Chaunt he was joined •38 39 L-0
by two, and in Castelum and in Rowoldt he was joined by three other Justices. This would serve to point out that
33355 U. S. 115. 3 371+ U. S. h69.

although he advocated broad powers for the executive in every
case, in none was his position wholly antithetical to other
Justices. The fact that no member of the Court joined Justice
Clark in all of these cases is perhaps only indicative of
changes in personnel. The fact remains, however, that in this
set of cases Justice Clar'k was the most outspoken advocate of
broad powers for the executive, a position quite consistent
with his general sympathy for the problems of government as
evinced in his attitude toward Congress as well as toward the
executive branch.
Other cases in this area reflect a similar attitude. In
Ll 1
United States v. Zucca Mr. Justice Clark, joined by Justices
Reed and Minton, dissented. Here the Court declared that the
Justice Department had to file an affidavit showing good
cause as a prerequisite to the maintenance of a denaturali-
zation proceeding. Mr. Justice Clark declared that "the
Court's ruling seriously obstructs the Government in filing L, p
denaturalization proceedings in this type of case."^ Again
the Justice was not alone, but again he pointed out the prob-
lems faced by the executive. A similar case is Shaughnessv LLO
v. Mezei. J Mr. Justice Clark delivered the opinion of five
members of the Court to hold that an alien resident of the 1+1351 U. S. 91 (1956). 1+2351 U. S. 91, 100. If "5 °3^5 U. S. 206.

philosophy is the following statement from the 1958 case of
Speiser Randall.^ a case which involved a California loy-
alty oath requirement as a prerequisite for receiving a tax
deduction:
The restriction must he considered in the context in which the oath is set—appeal to the largess of the State. The interest of the State . . . is summed up in an understandable desire to insure that those who benefit by tax exemption do not bite the hand that gives it.2
This sympathy for the problems and needs of the states
is one of Mr. Justice Clark's most dominant qualities, and is
merely the complement to a similar attitude toward the federal
government. Many areas of constitutional law reveal Justice
Clark's view, perhaps none so clearly as that of individual
rights and municipal employment. In the case of Garner v.
Board of Public Works of Los Angeles3 the Justice revealed
his consideration of the problems presented by the need for
loyalty in the public service:
We think that a municipal employer is not disabled because it is an agency of the state from inquiring of its employees as to matters that may prove rele-vant to their fitness and suitability for the public service. Past conduct may well relate to present fitness; past loyalty may have a reasonable rela-tionship to present and future trust.4"

recognizes and points out the problems with which the state
is involved. Second, he expresses the opinion that these
problems can best be met by the application of a balancing
test. Third, he points out that it is the function of the
legislature as well as of the Supreme Court to protect indi-
vidual liberty, by the use of the balancing test. Fourth, he
points out that it is necessary for the legislature to balance
its interests in "national security" against fundamental con-
stitutional rights.
The use of the term "national security" instead of "in-
ternal security" reveals another aspect of the Justice's
attitude. He feels that although both national and state
governments have a definite interest in security issues, their
powers differ with the problems, and therefore that the needs
of each must be sufficient in themselves to justify the chal-
lenged action. This element is revealed in a quotation from
the case of Jencks v. United States:^
This may well be a reasonable rule in state prose-cutions, where none of the problems . . . (facing the federal government) exist, but any person con-versant with federal government activities and problems will quickly recognize that it opens up a veritable Pandora's box of troubles.17
Thus Clark would allow the federal government more power
than he would allow the states, at least when the national

Due Process Clause. Most of these guarantees are criminal in
nature, but the most important rights guaranteed by the Bill
of Rights are those civil liberties included in the First
Amendment. . It is clear that the Due Process Clause does in-
deed incorporate all of these fundamental rights, an incorpo-
ration which Mr. Justice Clark often stresses:
. . . there can be no doubt that the draftsmen of the Fourteenth Amendment intended it to embrace individual freedom from state governmental involve-ment in the affairs of religion just as the Estab-lishment Clause had originally foreclosed action on the part of Congress.20
The application of these fundamental First Amendment protec-
tions through the Due Process Clause to the states is one of
the most basic elements in the protection of the individual
from unjustified actions of government.
Like the Due Process Clause, the Equal Protection Clause
also applies only to states, and therefore the definition of
the term "state action" has been one of the most difficult
questions of constitutional law in recent years. Definition
of this term has been especially important in the protection
of the basic rights of Negroes from undue state actions.
The guarantees of the Constitution, in the words of Mr. Jus-
tice Clark, apply
only if a discrimination based on race or color (a) is with respect to rights which under the Con-stitution are protected from such discrimination

Review. XV (19633 862.
