...sanctity of the Justices' robing room in the new Supreme Court Building. A few days before the Senate had confirmed President Roosevelt's second Supreme Court appointment -even more perfunctorily than in the case of Hugo Black. The Chief Justice administered the Constitutional oath to Stanley Reed, who then marched into the courtroom in his brand-new black robe to take his place as the 77th Justice to sit on the high bench, succeeding Associate Justice Sutherland. Before the former Solicitor General could sit in judgment, however, he had to take a second, judicial oath, swearing...
...Justice Reed did not of course take part in a unanimous and significant decision that was promptly handed down. Written by Justice Brandeis it held that Federal District Courts were without power to enjoin the National Labor Relations Board.

But the event of the evening was the "jam session," effacingly noted as "no doubt the greatest contradiction a swing program could offer," but in effect a blaring success. Amiable Mr. Goodman seated himself in his reed section, his professional spectacles gleaming, and Count Basic began thumping a blues on the piano. For two or three choruses it looked as though the boys were not going to get off. Then the afflatus descended, Goodman took a chorus, Trumpeter Harry James cut one and the whole group swung...
