Senate confirms Black to Supreme Court after riotous fight
The senate narrowly confirmed Sen. Huo L. Black of Alabama to the Supreme Court by 63 to 16 amid bitter opposition. Democrats led by Ned Burke and Royal Copeland alleged Klan ties and injustice while Republicans argued legal ineligibility. Attorney Levitt filed a move to compel Black to show why he should serve. The action sparks campaign fodder and party discipline tensions as industrial unions face strikes and insurgents assume leadership in the CIO affiliated shipyard walkout.
