Then, Justice Armstead Brown, 71-year-old member of the Su- preme Court, resigned from the bench-aanonth ahead of his sthe- duled retirement. Governor Caldwell appointed Circuit Judge Parl D. ‘Barns of Miami, who was elected November 5, to succeed Justice. Brown on Jan- uary 7. The newly created. job of ex- ecutive director to coordinate workmen’s compensation, unem- {ployment compensation and the emloyment service of the Indus- trial Commission went to Ralph Davis, a governmental veteran. The position Davis leaves as un- employment director goes to young William U. Norwood, Jr., whose name was taken from the merit system register. In another coordination move, missioners of State Institutions put Terry C. Lee, 38-year-old budget director, at the top of the sprawling organization of state custodial and penal institu- tions. As Lee moves into the new job, Homer Graham will step in- to his position as budget direc- tor. Graham was a key advisor ‘of the late Comptroller J. M. Lee and retained his status under Comptroller Clarence M. Gay.
