• ‘ President Nixon’s nomination of Judge Warren E. Burger
as new Chief Justice of the United States has pleased Dem-
ocratic senators from the South and Republican senators
"from the North. It has not displeased liberal Democrats,
at least not to the extent that any of them has offered
serious objections.
. , There is no doubt that it has also pleased the American
people, for Burger, as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals
of the District of Columbia, has become known as a “law
and order” man, disturbed by some of the judicial excesses
that have been committed in the name of protecting the
rights of accused persons.
Burger’s qualifications to occupy the central chair on the
nation’s highest tribunal are undoubted. His personal and
professional life is impeccable—something much needed at
’ this time when the court is suffering from the unpalatable
circumstances surrounding the resignation of Associate
Justice Abe Fortas.

Today’s highlight in history:
On this date in 1941, during
World War II, the British Navy
sank the German battleship Bis-
marck, with a loss of 2,300 lives.
The Bismarck had been pursued
more than 1,700 miles after
sinking Britain’s warship Hood.
On this date:
In 1860, a force under the Ital-
ian patriot, Giuseppe Garibaldi,
invaded Sicily and captured
Palermo.
In 1905, a Russian fleet of 32
vessels was wiped out by the
Japanese.
In 1933, the Century of
Progress exposition opened in
Chicago.
In 1937, a week-long celebra-
tion began to mark the opening
of the Golden Gate Bridge
across San Francisco Bay.
In 1940, during World War
II, millions of refugees from the
Low Countries and northern
France clogged the roads of
Europe.
In 1954, more than 100 crew-
men were illed in an explosion
aboard the U. S. aircraft carrier
Bennington off the coast of
Rhode Island.

The Senate also rejected John Adams’ nomination of
John Marshall in 1801, but Adams rejected the rejection
’and the Senate gave in.
The nomination of Abe Fortas by President Johnson in
1968 was stalled in committee and eventually withdrawn.
The fiercest battle ever to rage over the chief justiceship
was the controversy that deadlocked the Senate for two
and a half months in 1835, when Andrew Jackson appointed
Roger B. Taney to succeed Marshall.
Compared to the turbulent political passions and parti-
sanship of the 18th and 19th centuries, our own time seems
positively calm. Burger’s confirmation, which the Senate
Judiciary Committee will take up early in June, will likely
be formal, speedy and unanimous.
Lest anyone expect any dramatic reversal of Supreme
Court philosophy in the coming years, it should be noted
that Burger is considered to be a “moderate liberal” on
most issues. As for the question of law and order, he has
attacked the popular notion that the decline of respect for
the law and the rise in crime is the consequence of this or
that court decision.
f “It would be good if things were that simple,” he said in
an address at Ripon College two years ago. “If the over-
ruling of one or two opinions would solve the problems of
» crime, I suspect the Supreme Court would be willing to
reconsider.”
But, he added, “It is no aid to sensible public discourse
to attribute the crime problem to any one decision or any
: .court,”
Where we have failed is in the area of rehabilitation, said
. .Burger. We ar paying a terrible price for our attitude that
criminals are “human rubbish,” to be put in warehouses
for a period of time, only to have most of them come out
of prison and return to their old ways.
Undoubtedly there will be some reconsidering by the
Burger court of some of the Warren court’s decisions as
new cases/come before it. But Judge Burger’s past state-
ments characterize him not so much as a hard “law and
order” man as a practical humanist. As such, he is fully
in the tradition of all the other great humanists who have
brought wisdom and luster to the Supreme Court.
