( The House of Representative at
/ Dover on Tuesday night approved
an amendment to the states Con-
/ stitution, providing an additional
/ Judge for the Supreme Court, and
giving this position to the vice
hchancellor. The house also ap-
proved the proposed amendment to
create Supreme Court separate
/ from the other state courts.
The bill providing for the change
from six to seven members of the
Supreme Court had previously been
passed by the 1947 session and by
the Senate at the current session.
and it therefore becomes immedi-
ately a part of the Constitution.
The signature of the Governor is
not required.
The other Supreme Court mea-
sure adopted would further amend
the Constitution to provide for a
three-member, separate Supreme
Court. Unlike the other amendment,
this measure, was new at the pres
ent session, and must be passed at
the next session before it can be-
come law.
Judge Elwood F. Nelson resign
ed last Friday as president and as
a member of the board of trustees
of the Delaware State College.
His action followed criticism by
Governor Elbert N. Carvel of the
boards handling of the charges of
mfSadministratiOn against DR.. How
ard d. Gregg, president of the col
lege; and of Judge Nelson's own
action in declining to vote. at the
: last meeting of the board, on a mo-
ton resulting from the charges.
: In letter to the Governor, Judge
Nelson resigned effective immed
: lately" defended his action in not
: voting at the meeting last Tuesday,
' reviewed his service on the board
of trustees, and explained that he
/ had earlier decided to resign from
: the board effective June 80.
Defending his decision not to vote
3 on a motion to rescind DR.. Gregg's
= contract, Judge Nelson said he did
: not then know, and does not now
: know, how to vote on such mo-
tion." He compared his position to
that of governor who feels he can
neither approve nor veto a bill. and
let's it become law without"his sig
nature.
