Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Frederick Moore Vinson was the thirteenth Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, serving from 1946 until his death in 1953. Over the course of forty years of public service, Vinson served in all three branches of the federal government, representing Kentucky in the House of Representatives, working in the administrations of both President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, and presiding over seminal cases on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and the Supreme Court of the United States.
- Vinson was born in Louisa, Kentucky on January 22, 1890 and graduated from Kentucky Normal College in 1908. He earned an A.B. degree from Centre College in 1909 and an L.L.B. degree in 1911.
- After completing legal training, he opened a private practice in Louisa, where he also served as city attorney for one year. In 1921, Vinson was elected as the Commonwealth Attorney for Kentucky's 32nd Judicial District and served for three years, until his election to the US House of Representatives from the Ninth District. He was re-elected in the next two congressional elections but was defeated in the Republican landslide of 1928. Two years later, he returned to Congress. During the next decade, Vinson represented Kentucky-at-large in the House and then the newly created Eighth District of Kentucky.
- In the House, Vinson became an authority on tax and fiscal matters. He served as a member of the Ways and Means Committee from December 1931 through the end of his congressional career in 1937, including as chairman of the Subcommittee on Internal Revenue Taxation and as a member of the Subcommittee on Tax Revision.
- In December 1937, President Roosevelt appointed Vinson to become an associate justice on the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. He served on this bench from May 1938 to May 1943. During his last year on this Court, Vinson joined the Emergency Court of Appeals as its chief judge.
- On May 27, 1943, Vinson resigned from the judiciary to accept President Roosevelt's appointment as the Director of Economic Stabilization, an emergency post created during World War Two. He remained in this position until March 5, 1945, when he became Federal Loan Administrator. Less than a month later, President Roosevelt named Vinson as the Director of War Mobilization and Reconstruction.
- Shortly after assuming office, President Truman nominated Vinson to become Secretary of the Treasury. In this position, he supervised the financial operations of the government during the closing months of World War Two. To transition the economy from wartime to peacetime, Vinson recommended and Congress approved substantial tax reductions. Also under Vinson's tenure, the government ended its war bond drives, floating the Victory Loan for the last time in December 1945.
- Vinson played a leading role in helping to develop the modern international economic and financial order. In July 1944, he served as vice chairman of the United States delegation to the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and helped draft the agreements establishing the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconversion and Development. In March 1946, Vinson chaired the Savannah Conference, which implemented the provisions of the Bretton Woods Agreements. He was also involved in developing the Anglo-American Loan of 1946, as well as other American loans to reconstruct Britain Europe after the War.
- On June 6, 1946, President Truman nominated Vinson to become Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court to succeed Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone. Two weeks later, the Senate unanimously confirmed him. During his tenure as Chief, the Court addressed pivotal questions concerning individual liberties, civil rights, and the relationship between government regulation and private economic enterprise. On September 8, 1953, short months before re-argument of another seminal case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Vinson died suddenly in his Washington, DC home. He was interred in Pine Hill Cemetery in his hometown of Louisa.
