Eisenhower Eyes Senate OK For Harlan Supreme Court Nomination
President Eisenhower moves to push Circuit Judge John Marshall Harlan to the Supreme Court with likely smooth Senate passage. The White House also named Atomic Energy Commissioner Joseph Campbell for GAO comptroller general, a nomination that may face opposition over the Dixon Yates Tennessee Valley Authority contract. Campbell’s fate rides with critics of TVA power deals. Harlan would join Warren and Burton on the Court if confirmed. Campbell’s selection surprised some, while Harlan’s appointment was seen as less controversial.
