Description
(Original Caption) At left in photo is John W. Davis, one-time Democratic nominee for President of the U.S., arriving at Supreme Court with another member of his legal battery to argue the constitutionality of the seizure of the steel industry by President Truman. At right is acting Attorney General Philip B. Perlman, who was the quarterback of the government forces who argued that the seizure was within the President's constitutional authority and that the nation "face not merely an emergency but a threat to it's actual existence". Mr. Davis branded the seizure as "naked" trespass against the Constitution and presented his arguments with few interruptions. Mr. Perlman was subjected to a sharp bombardment of questions by the Supreme Court Justices, but he could still smile as he left court.
