Latham to retire from politics in Australia
Melbourne reports that Federal Attorney-General Latham KC announced he cannot continue to represent Kooyong or stay in the Lyons Ministry. He will not seek the coming federal election, citing private reasons. Plans consider a return to private practice if the High Court bench remains unchanged. Changes in Victoria’s cabinet loom with his retirement and potential succession by Menzies. In Adelaide, pre selection heats rise as candidates line up for Boothby and Labor debates over plebiscite endorsements sharpen. The federal election is set for September 15.
