THE BRUNSWICK NEWS VOLUME XXXII. NO. 64. NAMED MEMBER : BM OF APPEALS! Judge Roscoe Luke Resigns and ; Thomasville Attorney is Ap--| to] pointed By Russell Today Succeed Him NEW COER I MEMBERS ADMINISTERED OATH Judge Luke, Who Has Been Member of Court For Number of Years, Gives No Reason For Resigning. Atlanta, Nov. 14. (4*1—-Judge Ros- j coe Luke of the state court of appeals resigned today, effective immediately and Governor Russell announced the appointment of Judge Hugh MacIn¬ tyre of the Thomasville city court to succeed him. Governor Russell said Judge Luke gave him po reason for his resigna¬ tion. Judge MacIntyre was sworn in by the governor in the reception room of the executive offices and was t.o as¬ sume his duties at 2 p. m. today be¬ cause of the large amount of work pending before the first division of the court of which Judge Luke was a member. The new court of appeals judge is a close friend of Governor Russell, Judge MacIntyre nominated the gov¬ ernor at the Macon convention in 1930. The appointment of Judge MacIn¬ tyre for the unexpired term of Judge Luke runs until the next general elec¬ tion, in 1934. Judge MacIntyre has been judge of the Thomasville city court since 1925. His present term expires on January 1, 1933, Prior to his election to the judgeship he was solicitor of the same court, having become solicitor in 1915. He is a native of Thomas county. He was born January 4, 1882. He is a graduate of Virginia Military In¬ stitute and the University of Georgia. He has served as mayor of Thomas¬ ville, captain of the Thomasville guards, member of the board of edu¬ cation and chairman of the county Democratic executive committee. Judge Luke combined his career as jurist with one as lay preacher and evangelist. He conducted revivals in many parts of Georgia and was one of the state’s most prominent Baptist laymen. Despite his activities in that field, one of his most famous opinions while on the appellate bench was largely devoted to criticism of the executive committee of Georgia Baptist con¬ vention. The case was that of a Mrs. Smith who obtained in Fulton superior court in 1927 a judgment for $8,000 against the Georgia Baptist hospital. She alleged she had been permanently in¬ jured as a result of an operation in the institution. The verdict was sus¬ tained by the court of appeals. When Mrs. Smith sought to collect the executive committee again took the case to the court of appeals on the ground that the statute of lim¬ itation operated against collection of the judgment.

(4*)—What¬ ever President Hoover and President¬ elect Roosevelt might agree on in con¬ nection with war debts, signs point to plenty of controversy in congress. As the president sped homeward, and his successor prepared in Albany to reply to his invitation for a White House confertence, returning mem¬ bers of congress aired their views to newspapermen in Washington. Senator Fess (1L, Ohio), favored an international conference looking toward debt “adjustments”; but op¬ posed undertaking negotiations aimed to bring about cancellation. Representative By ms of Tennes¬ see, one of the leading candidates for speaker in the new Democratic house, expressed opposition to extension of the moratorium such as its sought by European powers. “I do not think that congress, in view of its definite stand last year against reduction of the war debts grant any reduction,” he said. “I certainly would oppose any con¬ sideration of the debt question by congress unless it is to the interest of the American tax payer.” Commenting on President Hoover’s invitation to Mr. Roosevelt to confer, Byrns said “it appears to me that (he president is seeking to involve Pres¬ ident-elect Roosevelt in a situation brought about by the Republican ad¬ ministration.” He added, however, “if we are to have pi'ivate conferences about the war debts we might as well have a special session of congress and dis¬ cuss the situation in the open.” CHAIRMAN BYRNS WOLD ASSEMBLY GIVE UP ITS RE¬ CESS AT CHRISTMAS Washington, Nov. 14. U speedy action on the annual bills, Chairman Byrns of the house propriations committee advocated day that congress give up its mas holidays and “stay on the job avert necessity for a special early in the new administration." The Roosevelt administartion have several months to become quainted with the situation in ington before a special session is ed, he said, Accordingly he expressed hope the appropriation bill could be ten out of the way within a few after the convening of the session, which expires March 4. Byrns also said he saw “no why a bill to legalize beer should be voted on at the short session.” He expressed the belief that house at least would pass a beer but said he did not know the of the beer advocates in the senate, “it is necessary to keep u.i the paign for - economy,” ..... —. , the — Democrat said. “It is our to apply the pruning knife to eaeh propriation bill so far as possible.” It was learned that the budget rea u itself Has reduced some of estimates under the present year,, particularly in construction tivities.

(A’)—Pros- < ident-elect reply to President Roosevelt Hoover’s today prepared invila- | j a tion to a White ’Ll*.. It House ... ... conference ... . .. - the war debt situation. It was believed by those close to the New York governor that he would accept the invitation and suggest the conference lie held on Monday or Tues¬ day of next week. Mr. Roosveelt’s reply, the governor’s l secretary stated, would not be com j will pleted until late this afternoon. It be released to morning newspa¬ pers. Mr. Roosevelt, recovering from a slight cold which confined him to. his room since last Friday, expects to ic sume his engagements tomorrow. All i of his appointments for today were : cancelled. President Hoover, in his telegram to Mr. Roosevelt said that he under¬ stood “you are planning to come through Washington some time during the latter part of next week and I hope you will find it convenient advise to stop off long enough for me to with you.” Mr. Roosevelt’s plans, made several days before the note situation arose, called for him staying in Albany this week until Friday, when he was to go to New York. From New v ovk ho planned to proceed to his Hyde Pai k | home for the week-end and then to start for Warm Springs, Warm Ga., some, time Monday. The Springs trip, if made on the present schedule, would take him through Washington on Tuesday. The Democratic platform carried on¬ ly a one-sentence reference to war debts. It read: “We oppose cancellation of the debts owing to the United States for foreign nations.” On July 36 in an address on the plat¬ form Mr. Roosevelt said, referring to the plank declaring against cancella¬ tion: “Ths problem of the debts is com¬ plex. Its solution has, however, been brought measurably nearer by the re¬ cent results at Lausanne. Great Bri¬ tain, France and Germany have at last agreed among themselves concerti¬ ng reparations. The danger now is that they may turn a united front against us. This comes, I am convinc¬ ed, not so much from the debts they owe us, as from our barriers against their trade which make the problem so difficult. The debts will not be a prob¬ lem—we shall not have to cancel them —if we are realistic about providing ways in which payment is possible through the profits arising from the (Continued on Pacrn «T> EXPECT ACCORD IN FEDERAL CASE AGAINST R.

And it was on a projected around world flight in 1927 that Brock, ac¬ companied by Edward F. Schlec, made the first America to England non¬ stop flight. They flew their plane, The Pride of Detroit, on to Japan. But adverse weather conditions delayed them for days and finally the plan to span* the Pacific was abandoned. In recent years Brock has been the private pilot of a wealthy Chicagoan. Four months ago he entered a Chica¬ go hospital in his fight against can¬ cer.
