Washington June 21 Fred M Vinson faced a tough job as administration troubleshooter after confirmation as chief justice of the United States by a voice vote of a few senators. Opponents were absent and Justice Robert H Jackson had blasted Justice Hugo L Black over a portal to portal pay dispute for coal miners. The bitter clashes threaten unity on the Supreme Court as leaders hope resignations from feuding justices end the partisan rift.
