Judge Almond
Hits Socialistic
Trends Of US
"Lawyers, historically, have
been the leading spirit in social
and political reform", Judge Bond
Almand, Georgia superior court
justice, told the law federation in
his speech Wednesday in the
chapel. Approximately 300 heard
the slight but forceful judge ana
lyze the present trend toward so
cialism in the United States.
Judge Almand reviewed the
trend toward state subordination
to the national government as mir
rored in Supreme Court decisionsl
since John Marshall's decision es
tablishing judicial review. He
warned that' opponents to states
rights claim that the states have
lost valid arguments for their'
rights by failing in their obliga
tions to citizens and allowing the
federal government to step in.
