MEMORIANQU‘M TO THE CONFERENCE

' .ND- ., 1951 Term. Whitehead v. Henry

 

A petition for extension of time to file certiorari addressed
to me in the above case raises a question of interpretation of
28 USC §2101(c) Vlit/hieh I desire to refer to the Conference.

Petitioner had judgment rendered against him by the Court
of Appeals of Georgia on July 13, 1951; his. petition for rehearing
was denied on July 25, and his application for certiorari from the
Supreme Court of Georgia was denied on September 12. He has
asked for an extension on the theory that under §2101(c) the time
limit to file certiorari here will run from July 13 or July 25.

I am of the opinion that under the proper interpretation 'of
§2101(c) the time limit begins to run from the September 12 date.
This seems to be supported by American Railway Express Co. v.
Levee , 263 US 19 (1923), and certainly by better practice. If the
members of the Conference agree, I will simply deny the applica—
tion as unnecessary.

JUSTICE HAROLD H. BURTON

July 6, 1950

Dear Chief:

Inscriptions on the Supreme Court Building

 

Recently there came to my attention, through the
Marshal, an interesting file of correspondence relating to the
inscriptions on the west and East Porticos of the Supreme
Court Building: EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW and JUSTICE THE GUARDIAN
OF LIBERTY.

In this file Chief Justice Hughes shoWs that these
inscriptions do not have a direct historical basis but were 1
suggested by the architect and, in the second instance, modified
by the Chief Justice in cooperation with Justice Van Devanter.

Of particular interest is the reply which Chief Justice
Hughes made on February h, 1935, to a critical letter addressed
to him by Herbert Bayard Swope under date of January 25, 1935, re-
lating to the inscription EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW.

If this material has not already come to your attention,
I believe you will be interested in it and, for that reason, I
have had copies of the material in the file made for you as well
as for me.

From time to time, Senator Brewster of Maine has raised
a similar criticism of the inscription EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER LAW
as that raised by Mr. Swope. Unless you see some objection, I
would like to send him a copy of Chief Justice Hughes' letter of
February b, 1935. I do not propose to send him copies of the Swope
correspondence which preceded and followed that letter. Such corres-
pondence is a bit too colorful and makes too much of a story of the
whole thing. Such a story probably would do more harm than good
but the letter from Chief Justice Hughes itself might do some good
without doing any harm.

Yours sincerely,

W—

The Chief Justice

MEMORANDUM FOR THE CONFERENCE

In the Matter of van Sweringen Corporation;
Debtorg and The Cleveland Terminals Building
Company, Subsidiary Debtor

On Saturday, October 19, I asked that consideration
of the above case be delayed so that I might examine it furthero
I now find that, While the law firm with which my son is associa-
ted in Cleveland is not listed on the briefs, it is listed in
the transcript of the record and that members of the firm, both
as individuals on their own account, and as members of the firm,
are representing parties to the case as presented heree

I regret, therefore, that I feel it necessary to dis~

qualify myself and to leave the interesting intricacies of this
case to the other members of the Court.
