be unbecoming for a retired judge to seek
political office, and, at the same time, re-
ceive the retirement which he already had
earned as a result of his public service.
This kind of rationale is way beyond me.
I just hope people support the Bamberger
amendment.
THE PRESIDENT: Is there any further
discussion? Are you ready for the question?
The Clerk will ring the quorum bell.
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment 5A as a substitute for Amend-
ment No. 5 to Committee Recommendation
JB-1 as amended by S&D-8 This is not a
vote on Amendment No. 5, but merely a
vote on the substitution.
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of the
amendment, Amendment 5A, as a substitute
for Amendment No. 5. A vote No is a vote
against.
After this vote, the Chair will submit to
you Amendment No. 5, either in its orig-
inal form or with the substitute in its
place.
A vote now on Amendment 5A, a vote
Aye is a vote in favor of the substitution;
a vote No, a vote against.
Cast your votes.
(Whereupon, a roll call vote was taken.)
THE PRESIDENT: Has every delegate
voted. Does any delegate desire to change
his vote?
(There was no response.)
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 76 votes in the affirmative
and 34 in the negative, the motion is car-
ried. Amendment 5A is substituted for
Amendment No. 5.
The question now arises on the adoption
of Amendment 5A as a substitute for
Amendment No. 5. Is there any further
discussion? Are you ready for the question?
A vote Aye is a vote in favor of Amend-
ment 5A as substituted for Amendment No.
5. A vote No is a vote against.
For what purpose does Delegate Schnei-
der rise?
DELEGATE SCHNEIDER: I was of
the understanding this was an amendment
to the amendment, rather than a substitute
amendment, because we still have the prob-
lem of the word "public," and we will have
to deal with that again if we handle it any
other way.

THE PRESIDENT: You do not have the
problem, because Amendment 5A deleted
the entire phrase. You would not have the
word "public" if the whole phrase is gone.
Is there any further discussion? Are you
ready for the question?
The question arises on the adoption of
Amendment 5A as substituted for Amend-
ment No. 5 to Committee Recommendation
JB-1 as amended by Report S&D-8. A
vote Aye is a vote in favor of the substi-
tuted amendment, Amendment No. 5A. A
vote No is a vote against.
Cast your vote.
(Whereupon, a roll call vote was taken.)
THE PRESIDENT: Has every delegate
voted? Does any delegate desire to change
his vote?
The Clerk will record the vote.
There being 95 votes in the affirmative
and 16 in the negative, Amendment 5A as
a substitute for Amendment No. 5 is
adopted.
I think the Chair should indicate that on
the basis of the relatively few amendments
still to be considered, it would be my ob-
jective to try to finish consideration of
Committee Recommendation JB-1 before
supper recess, in which event there would
be no session this evening. The Convention
would recess then until a fairly late hour
tomorrow afternoon, at which time we
would have to have for consideration three
second readings. You have already re-
ceived two of them. The third one is
being printed, and there is some mechan-
ical problem, but I hope it will be here very
shortly. I would hope that you can remain
long enough to receive that copy so that
you will be able to take with you this eve-
ning all three copies.
This will give the Committee on Style a
chance for further meeting this evening,
and also tomorrow morning.
Delegate Armor has handed me a weather
report, indicating that snow is expected, be-
ginning in the early hours tomorrow morn-
ing and continuing all day Thursday. I
would think this would mean that it would
be desirable for all who can to make ar-
rangements to stay over this evening. Our
whole calendar is such that we cannot
afford to adjourn for a day. We must
continue.
I hope to conclude consideration of all
second readings this week, and hopefully
