University Of Miami officials
reveal that Bill Levitt, of Miami
Beach, will be candidate for

year. He is six-foot one-inch and
weighs 30 pounds. He is very
fast man.
This will be Levitt's third year
with the Hurricanes.
Booming him for All Southern
center is a bit of an incongruity
inasmuch as he has never played
q collegiate game at the position.
Ia has first year at Miami he per-
formed at end and played guard.

work needed for full employ.
ment' and of the jobs in sight,
with the idea that the government
would step in to make up any
deficit with public works and other
measures.
Director Of the Budget Harold S.
Smith, approving the detectives OF
the bill, said a successful employ
ment policy means more than
just providing jobs - 1t should
avoid the twin dangers Of inflat-
ion and deflation.'
Paul G. Hoffman, president of
Studebaker Corporation, said he
approved the detectives Of the
measure, but added:
II think the one hazard of the
bill is that it may suggest to too
many people that there is quick
and easy answer to this question
Of government responsibility and
that there is a royal road to full
employment"

mingham, Ala, said he believed
enactment Of the bill would pre-.
