THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Henderson.
DELEGATE HENDERSON: Well, if he
appointed the other chief judges, and they
were expected to perform any administra-
tive duties, they would not be subject to
the control, really, of the person who is re-
sponsible; that is, the chief judge of the
Court of Appeals. The idea of having him
as chief judge is simply so that they would
have sufficient authority to carry out the
administrative duty which he contemplates.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any further discus-
sion? Delegate Mason.
DELEGATE MASON: I would like to
ask the Chairman a question.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd, do
you yield to a question?
DELEGATE MUDD: Yes, Mr. Chair-
man.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mason.
DELEGATE MASON: Delegate Mudd,
would this administrative judge perform
any other duties other than administration?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: None that I can
think of. That is the whole idea, adminis-
trative functions.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for
the question? Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Did Delegate Ma-
son mean would he also take his turn on
the bench in the ordinary course?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mason.
DELEGATE MASON: Yes, I wondered
if he would rotate also.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Of course he
would.
THE CHAIRMAN: Are you ready for
the question? The Clerk will sound the
quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment No. 53, as modified to Com-
mittee Recommendation JB-1. A vote Aye
is a vote in favor of the amendment as
modified. A vote No is a vote against. Cast
your votes.
THE CHAIRMAN: Has every delegate
voted?
(There was no response.)
Does any delegate desire to change his
vote?
|
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 34 votes in the affirmative
and 89 in the negative, the motion is lost.
Amendment No. 53 as modified is rejected.
DELEGATE TAWES: Mr. Chairman.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Tawes.
DELEGATE TAWES: Mr. Chairman,
and fellow delegates, I should like to have
this Committee of the Whole and this Con-
vention welcome to this Convention this
morning thirty-nine students of the Carter
Woodson High School in Somerset County,
members of the civic class there, with their
teachers, Professor and Mrs. Horace Jack-
son. Join me in giving them a warm wel-
come, please.
(Applause.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mitchell.
DELEGATE MITCHELL: Mr. Presi-
dent, and members of the Convention, I
would like to welcome also Mr. Saunders
Marshall, instructor at the Boys' Village in
Cheltenham, Maryland, and his students,
who are with us today. Mr. Marshall is
also Vice-President of the Prince Georges
County Branch of the N.A.A.C.P.
(Applause.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Scanlan.
DELEGATE SCANLAN: I would like
to welcome Vincent Crawford, the son of
Mrs. Marjorie Crane, our Deputy Director
of Information. He is a student at George-
town Prep and a friend of my son's, and
he is in the gallery today in the rear.
(Applause).
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Wheatley.
DELEGATE WHEATLEY: Mr. Chair-
man, I would like to at this time note the
presence in this historic Convention of a
group that comes from a school in which
history is much a part of it, located on the
site of Old Fort Federal within walking
distance of Fort McHenry, birthplace of
the Star-Spangled Banner. We have a
group of students accompanied by their
instructor, Mr. Kuhn from Southern High
School, and I wish to accord a great wel-
come to them. (Applause.)
THE CHAIRMAN: Are there any fur-
ther amendments to section 5.29?
(There was no response.)
The Chair hears none.
