NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Justice George H. Brown Jr. may serve on the state Supreme Court only until Sept.

1, but the state's first black justice was as nervous as if he had a lifetime appointment. Donning his judicial robes, Brown, 40, recalled that his father had worked 42 years for the Illinois Central Railroad and his foreman once suggested he might want to get his son a similar job. "When he told me about it, he said he told the foreman if he did, he would consider himself a failure," the new justice said. From the bench, Brown said, "I owe this moment to my parents, to my father and my mother, who is deceased." His father stood proudly with his son, raising his own right hand when his son took his oath from Chief Justice Ray Brock. Brown's wife held the family Bible.

Brown, appointed by Gov. Lamar Alexander to succeed the late Justice Joe W. Henry, is the first black to sit on the state's highest court and the first Repubican since the Civil War. In presenting Brown, Alexander told the court he was present when NEW YORK (AP) -Midday High Low Last AbbtLab Allis Chalm 241 Alcoa Am Airlin Am Baker Am Brands Amer Can Am Cyan AmFamily Am Motors Am Stand 56 Amer Beat Food Beth Steel Boeing Boise Cased Borden Buringt Ind CannonMills CaroPwLt Celanese Cent Soya 12 Champ Int Chessie Sys Chrysler CocaCola Colg Palm Comw Edis ConAgra Conti Group Delta AirL DowChem duPont Duke Pow EastnAirL East Kodak EatonCp Exxon Firestone 7 FlaPowLt FlaPow FordMot 24 For McKess Fuqua Ind GenDynam Gen Elec Gen Food Gen Mills 27 Gen Motors Gen Tire GaPacif Goodrich Goodyear Grace Co- 37 GiNor Nek Greyhound Herculesinc Honeywell Ing Rand IBM Intl Harv Paper Int Rectif Gov.

Mounting the Supreme Court bench and taking the seat vacated by Henry, the founder of Memphis Legal Services said, "'While I his seat, I will never be able to fill his shoes." But, he said, "I will try my very best." It was the first time the court had convened since Henry died of a heart attack June 9 and the first time Alexander had been in the court room since Henry swore him in as governor Jan.

17, 1979. Anderson To Be On Ballot NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Illinois Congressman John Anderson can be listed as an independent on Tennessee's presidential election ballot Nov. 4, state Attorney General William Leech said. Leech's opinion, issued Monday, said a state law that prevents a losing primary election candidate from running as an independent in the general election does not apply to presidential primaries.

In an opinion for state Sen. Victor Ashe, a Knoxville Republican, Leech said voters do not actually vote for presidential candidates but for their 10 Tennessee electors who meet in Washington with the Electoral College to elect the president. As a result, the state law cannot apply to presidential primaries. The opinion goes against an opinion last spring by David Collins, state election coordinator, who held that the law against losers running as independents applied. Ashe, who was former U.N.

Ambassador George Bush's campaign manager for Tennessee's May 6 presidential primary, since has joined other Tennessee Republicans in supporting GOP candidate Ronald Reagan. think John Anderson certainly is entitled to have his name on the ballot," he said. Ashe accused Collins and his boss, Secretary of State Gentry Crowell, of trying to keep Anderson off the ballot.

During that May meeting, representatives of three local firms providing policies previously and three of the the four submitting bids now appealed for uninterrupted business for their companies. The three men Walton Smith, John Rubel and Bob Frost all said the city would be paying reduced premiums in the new insurance year because claims had been low. In a letter to council members, Sprouse said claims had little to do with insurance coverage in the past, "but many factors, including lack of competition, have gone into the development of this premium."

Moynihan's measure would have extended existing federal education programs to poorer students at private schools, permitting a maximum grant of $750 a year to help pay tuition for a student from a family with income of not more than $15,000 a year. The overall bill authorizes $36.2 billion in aid to education over the next five years. Opponents said the tuition aid to students in private schools envisioned in the amendment would total approximately $160 million a year toward the end Obituaries Jerry Hopkins Services for Jerry D.

Another amendment to the overall education measure would eliminate interest-free federal loans for college students, replacing them with loans at a 9 percent interest rate and providing for bill collectors to collect the debts if necessary. Sponsors said the loan provision would save an estimated $3.1 billion over the five-year life of the bill because it would produce sizeable interest income and discourage many "convenience" loans taken out by students motivated not by genuine need but by the present zero percent interest rate.
