Gov. Lake Names I. W. Russell Fuel Adminis- trator With Full Power to Control Distribution
Both Consider Possibility of Converting Legislature Situation Growing Worse Daily, Latter Says.
45,OOO MINERS TO
 GO BACK TO MINES

Hartford, Aug. 24-Governor Lake announced today the appointment of Thomas w. Russell of this city, as fuel administrator for the state of Connecticut and vested him in full power to control the distribution of federal coal consignments to this state. MT. Russell has been acting as adviser to the fuel distribution com- mittee since 1t was appointed a month ago by the governor but in his capacity as adviser has practically been in charge of the situation. It is understood he was offered the posi- tion of administrator at the first meet ing of the commission, but declined because of pressure of business.
 Governor Lake said that whatever action the state would take to remedy the present situation where an acute shortage in anthracite coal exists and will undoubtedly continue to exist for the remainder of the year would be determined by MT. Russell. When asked if he believed it would be neces- sary to call the legislature in special session the governor hesitated and then said:
 May Call Legislature
 T don't know if Mr. Russell be- lieves it necessary, later on will call an extraordinary session. He is in closer touch with the situation than I am I have turned over to him a complete report on the legislation which Governor Miller of New York intends to put before the New York assembly next Monday and which he has furnished me-
 A statewide personnel of fuel ad- ministrators for each community in Connecticut has been worked out by MT. Russell and will be prepared to act immediately in the distribution of federal coal consignments should any be consigned to this state.
 Looks Worse Each Day
 Mir. Russell in the matter of there being a possibility that an extra ses- sion of the legislature would be called said:
 T couldn't say now. Of course with things looking worse each day you never know what may be necessary the next day. Shipments of soft coal are coming into the state fairly reSu- larly. but no anthracite. There have been no consignments of either kind from the federal authorities to the state, but several shipments have been permitted to enter the state in the cours of normal interstate trade and the commission has furnished author. ization to the wholesalers to receive them.'
