 Governor Kilby let it be known tha4 he would be pleased to listen to ths various persons who are interested is the vacancy, but for the fact that an immediate selection must ba mads which would be precluded should he hear all persons who desire to appear for ons person or another.
 The governor has not intimated whsa he will make the announcement, but .it Is known that he desires to fill the va4 cancy at the earliest moment in order that the state may have full represen- tation during the consideration of ths peace treaty. It would be no surprise if the appointment should be made as soon as the governor returns from Au- burn, to which place he will go for . meeting or the DOard or trust6o8 or Una Alabama Polytechnic Institute Cow ernor Kilby seems to be counselinx only with himself about the vacancy.

Still others re- garded as probable candidates are Elm. met O'Neal of Birmingham, ex-Senator Frank & White of Birmingham, and Ray Rushton of Montgomery
 Tn the event Congressman Heflin an - ters the senatorial race he will be forced to relniquish his seat in Con- gress This will mean. according to gossip, that William P.
