Judges Amendment Is Betrayal Of Confidence
Francis Neal Parke former judge of Carroll County attacks a proposed constitutional amendment for a five judge Court of Appeals as a betrayal of absent service members. He cites concerns over voter consideration and calls for submission to a constitutional convention before adoption. He notes the plan limits county representation and stems from the Bond Commission that drafted reform ideas. A stray line about rubber heating when stretched appears incidental.
