That‘s What; Joe. Blow Said”

 

An Intimate .llessage From. Worthington.

 

\VABHINGION
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson.
United States Supreme Court,
Washington. D C.
Dear Mr. Chief Justice:

A few days ago I was assgned to attend
and report the special term of the Supreme
Court. which considered the tinal appeals
in the Rosenberg case. You are aware. of
course. of the intense public interest and
concern in this case. Most thoughtful
Americans, knowing that it had become an
episode in the cold war. wanted. above all,
to see justice prevail. They wanted no
i propaganda charges hurled across the Iron
. Curtain that couldn‘t be explicitly an-
swered with facts. My lot) was to report
what was said in these unusual sessions of
the court. I suppose I represented several
hundred thousand persons who could not

be there. On the day that you heard argu-
i ments from the government and from coun-
sel ot' the Rosenbcrgs I tool I tailed these
people. but l do not think I much to
blame. I could not hear.

Nor was I alone. Mest reporters present
could not hear. You must be aware Where
ire are placed. on the east, side or“ the court
in three bays between the double rnarble
columns that surround the courtroom.
Herc were Jill ot' rcpi‘esei'iting sev-
;(‘l'lll n‘iillion American: \‘.lioi.i were
‘ ser\ in;I the (Xhict vilifi‘LlCC of the
United States. It l> sure that not of us
heard oven huli‘ m’ \i'hat c as said in court
that day, We got most o1 our int‘orniation
trom the l'ialt—doarn press association rc-
portcr: granted clerks just below your
bench. They are placed :0 they can hear.

I have no doubt that the press associa-
tion reporters accurately reflected what was
said in the court. But I do not \‘x‘ant. to be
placed in the position 01‘ telling my editor
; that “I guess. that's What the Chict‘ Justice
said—anyway, that's what Joe Blow said
he said. I couldn't hear hint." Nor do I want
my paper to tell it». readers. “We thinh this
report is accurate but we can‘t be sure——
our man couldn't hear. but, the other tellou'
in the special sorts down front could."

The betore the hearing
that. day. that menine. and the next, day.
people the country were asking
what it \xa: all about? What vsas the point
of lav: raised which caused Justice Douglas
to grant a stny‘.‘ What was said in the court.

MEMORANDUM

TO: The Chief Justice.

The attached script seems okeh, except for a few
minor things.

I think that all characters throughout should address
the Justice portrayed as "Mr. Justice." They have
not done so in one or two places.

Also the scene showing the Justice unwrapping and
chewing gum on the bench might be too undignified.

They use a traffic case(running a red light) as the
type of case a person has the right to appeal hereo

This seems a little weak as an example, and I would
suggest they choose a case with a stronger constitute

ional question. _

PAUL
It'll be interesting. We'll have
lunch in the Supreme Court Cafe-
teria, then we'll go upstairs and
watch the court in action.

BILLIE
(unenthusiastic)
Oh, a court. I'm a cinch to fall
asleep.

PAUL
No, you won't. The Supreme Court is
too important.

BILLIE
Why? Who did it ever beat?

PAUL
It's the highest law in the land.
Everyone -- no matter who he is --
has the right to appeal to it.

BILLIE
Even me?

PAUL
Even you.

BILLIE
Give me a f’r instance.

PAUL

All right.

(thinks a moment)
Now, this isn't very typical or even
very probable but it'll do. You go
through a red light. That's what
the cop says. You know you didn't.
Even so, the judge says five dol-
lars. You think it's an outrage.
You appeal it to a higher court.
They say, guilty. You can go to a
still higher court. The same story.
You’re still wrong, but you're con—
vinced you're right. Well, you
have the right to take the case
right up to the Supreme Court.

The cab pulls up before the Supreme Court.

 

 83 CONTINUED:

BILLIE
The whole thing is silly. I don‘t
even know how to drive a car.

She looks at the building through the window. Very beautiful
and impressive.

BILLIE
Such a classy building for a five
dollar fine?

TEDIUEZ SHOT .T FOOD COUNTER 86
There is a line of people with trays selecting their food.
One of the men in line is an elderly dignified gentleman.
His face is adorned by a small, attractive beard. He has
selected his food and is about to leave the line when Paul
comes into the scene.

Why hello, Paul. How are you?

PAUL
Fine, thank you, Justice Harrison.
Since when have you taken to eating
with us commoners.

 

 CONTINUED:

JUSTICE HARRISON
I love to. It's boring eating in one's
chambers —— and all my colleagues do
is talk shop.

PAUL
I know how deadly that can be.

HARRISON
Why don't we have an evening together
again, Paul? I think my chess game
has improved enough so it won't be
too dull for you.

PAUL
Love to. Any time.

HARRISON
I'll call you real soon, Paul.

He nods pleasantly, leaves.

MEDIUM SHOT BILLIE AT TABLE 87
still primping. Harrison, holding his tray, comes into
the scene, looks around for a table° There is no empty one

in sight, so he addresses Billie.

HARRISON
I beg your pardon ~-

BILLIE
(looks up at him
in surprise)
Why, what did you do?

HARRISON
(smiling)
I just mean —— the place is so crowded
—- would it inconvenience you if I sat
at your table?

BILLIE
It's a free country.

HARRISON
(setting his tray down)
Thank you very much.

He sits down, starts taking the dishes off his tray, while
Billie goes on inspecting her lipstick. Then, she devotes a
moment or two to her nails. Everything seems in order. She
glances casually about; her eyes fall on Harrison's food.

 

 CONTINUED:

BILLIE
(with a little gasp)

Oh.

HARRISON
(looking up)
what is the matter?

BILLIE
(pointing to his tray)
Poison.

HARRISON
(alarmed)
What's that? What's that you said?

BILLIE
I said to eat a cold lunch like that
—- you might as well eat poison.

HARRISON
(relaxing)
Oh.
(amused by her)
Well —— as you said —- it's a free
country.

BILLIE
My father says everybody should
have a hot lunch.

HARRISON
Really? Is your father a physician?

BILLIE
No. He runs an elevator for a gas
company. Before that he used to
read meters, but when it comes to
lunches, he’s president of the
United States!

HARRISON
(pleasantly)
Well, you tell your father that I've
been eating cold lunches for sixty—
five years with no visible harm.

BILLIE
How come your wife lets you eat stuff
I ike tha t ‘?

HARRISON
(with mock sorrow)
Alas, I have no wife. I'm a bachelor.

 

 CONTINUED: (2)

HARRISON (Cont'd.)
Do you think hot lunches would have
made me more attractive to women?

Billie looks at him closely.

BILLIE
(with her usual
honesty)
I don't know if I'm crazy about the
muff —— but I bet a few years back
you were a gay dawg.

HARRISON
(twinkling)
Thank you very much.

Paul comes into the scene, holding two trays. Billie's back
is to him. His mouth drops open when he sees the Justice
sitting with Billie. Billie turns°

BILLIE

Thanks, Paul.
(to Harrison, pointing
to the tray with pride)

See what I mean by a hot lunch?
Smell that steam. Paul, do you
mind going back and getting a
tray just like this for —— for ~—

HARRISON
(helping her out)
Harrison is my name. Charles Henry
Harrison.

He waits for her to recognize the name. But there is no
reaction from Billie. She has never heard of him. Justice
Harrison looks a little surprised.

PAUL
(playing it straight)
My name is Paul Verrall.

They shake hands gravely.
BILLIE
A hot tray for Mr. Harrison, Paul,
please.
PAUL

(smiling)
On the double.

He hurries away,

Now really, you shouldn't go to
all this trouble, Miss -—

trouble. Here —— you start in on

He looks at her for a moment, then like a child he picks up
a spoon, starts to eat. After he
