BULLETIN
(Compile<sup>4</sup> from United Press)
In a rapid fire progression of resignations and appointments, Fred Hall, outgoing governor of Kansas, today resigned the top executive position and was immediately sworn in as a justice of the state Supreme Court.
The triangular and spectacular end to Mr. Hall's lame duck administration came at noon today. John McCuish, Newton publisher and lieutenant governor, became the 34th governor of the state with only a 12 day term to serve.
This morning Mr. Hall, still governor, accepted the resignation of William Smith, chief justice of the Kansas Supreme Court. In quick order he then faced photographers and television cameras to say, "Now I would like to affix my own signature to my resignation as governor."
