Truman Names Republican For Supreme Court Judge
President Truman announced swift Senate confirmations for three key posts. Harold H. Burton, Ohio Republican, would become associate justice of the Supreme Court, succeeding Owen Roberts. Robert P. Patterson, former circuit judge, would be secretary of war, taking over from Henry L. Stimson. W. Stuart Symington would lead the surplus property administrator post, replacing a three member board. Burton’s selection drew praise from Republicans and Democrats for political and legal reasons, while Patterson’s appointment sparked mixed reactions over party affiliation and ties to current administration.

Labor Secretary Expands Role in Detroit Strikes
Secretary Schwellenbach, empowered by a department-wide reorg, assigns Edgar Warren to study Detroit strikes and flag potential government intervention. Warren travels from Chicago to Washington to convene with labor leaders as the administration absorbs authority from the War Labor Board and other agencies. The shift strengthens Schwellenbach as the administration’s labor voice with power to recommend seizure of strike-bound plants during reconversion.
