There is some uncertainty over the possible retirement of Associate Justice M. F. Morris on the District Court of Appeals. Although Attorney General William H. Moody has announced that ex-Senator Louis E. McComas would be appointed as Morris’s successor, Morris has declared that he is not yet ready to retire. The confusion comes from a letter sent previously, and from Morris’s previous illnesses, which have resulted in the anticipation of his imminent retirement.
