| World War II delegates from only
Is States.
At election time, two other World
War II nominees, T. E. Fitzgerald
lof Massachusetts, and John j. Null
lin of New Jersey. were in the race
along with Francis x. Cotter of
Massachusetts, the other World War
1 candidate. Mr.. Fitzgerald with
drew before the voting, and while
support among the other candidates
were divided. Mr.. Beggs received a
majority of the 1901 votes on the
first ballot.
The younger members came back
with minor victory, however, in
the election of Edward H. McAloon,
37-year-old lawyer of the Bronx,
N. Y, to judge advocate general.
Women Issue Dies.
In other voting, Robert B. Han
dy, jr., former District resident.
was elected quartermaster general
for the 23d consecutive year: DR..
Matthew S. LevitaS of Brooklyn,
N. Y, became the new surgeon gen.
eral, and the Rev Charles Dough-
ierty OF Chicago was named national
chaplain.
The convention spent most of its
final business session yesterday in
debate over changes in national by
laws. In the most important, dele
gates gave passive Endorsement by
offering no objection to a commit
tees rejection of a proposal to ad-
NIT women veterans to the VFW,
and rejected recommendations to
increase members per capita taxes
and to abolish a system of county
councils in the organization.
Faced last night with a backlog
OF more than 100 resolutions to con-
slider, delegates voted to send all
those approved committees to the
VFW'S l5-member National Coun-
Gil of Administration for further
action. Included were:
An adjusted compensation" bo-
nus to be granted all World War II
veterans as substitute for sub
sistence allowances granted under
training programs: in

IB-29 Takes Off Monday
On Hawaii-Egypt Flight
By the Assoeioted Press

HONOLULU, Sept. THE Super
Fortress "Pacusan Dreamboat" is
primed to take off Monday on a
nonstop flight over the Arctic to
Egypt, following a route which will
keep it well away from Russian or
Yugoslav territory.
However, navigators today said
the flight might be called off if bad
weather persisted in the far north
through September Is. Bad weather
beyond Fairbanks, Alaska, caused
postponement of the big ships take
of until Monday.
The crew hopes for strong tall
winds. which will stretch the gaso-
line supply.
Col. C. S. Irvine of st. Paul, Nebr.,
who will head the fight, is confident
1t can be made successfully.
Its just another long cross
country flight in a good airplane," T"
he said. 1--WE have the best planes
in the world now and we expect to
keep them the best"

FB| Inspector Urges
Campaign on Driving
AT Forum on Traffic
BY the Assecioied Pres,

NEW YORK, Sept. IA group OF
more than so chiefs of police, COL
lege professors and highway traffic
experts agree that American auto
mobile drivers have improved their
safety record, but that statistics
show a postwar upward trend in
accidents that calls for a more
vigorous campaign for careful driv-
ing.
These experts on traffic problems
were gathered in round-table dis
cussion before the third annual con-
ference of the Emo Foundation for
Highway Traffic Control.
l.. A. Hince of Washington, Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation inspec-
TOR, said an FBI study revealed that
the American driving public has
established high safety record in
comparative statistics. The FBI
took up the study of traffic con-
troll when we found that three
people are killed in motor acci-
dents to every one killed in crimes
OF violence. Our traffic prob
lem cannot be solved entirely by
enforcementsof law. Education and
engineering are equally important"
Hits Overspecialization.
Mr.. Hince said that small towns
were handicapped in their plans for
traffic accident control by having

same program to $3.50 a month for
married veterans and $500 a month
for those with dependents. and

widows.
"Order" Measure Sidetracked.
Another resolution, referred to a
permanent National Service Com
mittee, asked that this country in
stitute immediate settlement by IAN
impartial commission" of Polish
boundary disputes and work to-
wards the end that free and un-
fettered elections be held in Po-
land"
T. A. Barrentine, chairman of a
committee which Thursday ap-
proved a resolution calling for es-
tablishment of Law and Order
Committee to function at conven-
tions and strongly condemning
rowdyism at the national meetings,
said he was advised by the national
commander mot to introduce the
measure"
Earlier yesterday, in the most
heated debate of the convention,
delegates voted to urge a Congress
sional investigation of the armed
forces merger and asked that views
of all the branches of service be
made public In a strong protest
against endorsing the proposal,
Capt. James Van Zandt, USNR, on
terminal leave and thrice past COM
mander of the VFW, charged that
Navy officers were 'muzzled" from
speaking on the issue, while Army
officials were free to campaign for
its adoption.
Delegates also voted strict Gov
eminent control of atomic energy,
and Endorsed 'in principle" extern
sion of selective service and univer-
sal military training, in other reso-
lutions.
Auxiliary Elects.
At another meeting yesterday, the
VFW auxiliary elected Mrs. Sally
Cannon, of Youngstown, Ohio, ma
tional president, and voted these
other officers:
Mrs. Dorothy Mann, Detroit,
senior vice president; Mrs. Helen
Murphy, Union, N. j., Junior vice

president; Mrs. Grace H. Davis
Kansas City, Mo-, secretary treas
urer; Mrs. Sue Zig, Edgewood, r. l.,
conductress, and Mrs. Evelyn Mo-
now, Gallup, N. NJ, chaplain.
On the matter of convention
site for next year, District Delegate
Nate Golden told the members yes
terday that the organization has Sc
far had no bids for l947, but that
several cities have already extended
invitations for 1948, when the hotel
accommodation situation is expected
to be much better"
Among the 1948 bids was one from
Paris, France, he said. Complete
with figures, the invitation -esti-
mated the trip would take IA days
from the time of arrival in Paris and
would cost, including hotel accom-
modations, between $3.50 and $780,
Mr.. Golden said.

Sizes of Coal
Told for Users

Coal consumers often are
confused by the designation
Of coal sizes.
So stated a spokesman for
/ Appalachian Goals, Inc, Sat-
urday.
The designation OF
coal sizes, like the deslgna-
ton of clothing sizes, grade
groupings of foodstufts, lum-
ber and Of most of the other
/ items we buy, have developed
gradually over the years and
confessedly are misleading, he
added.
"It il possible Ia have
three or four different sizes
designated as egg coal. for
example, just like il i pos
slbIe to buy three different
sizes of size g shoes
namely. for men, women
and children"
SIZE VARIES
As il comes out of the
ground. coal consists Of every
thing from large Jumps down
to the finest dust.
Since operators have found
certain sizes are more suit
able than others for partlcu-
lar Jobs, this run of mine
coal is separated into various
sizes by means of screens.
These screens are a series
of plates with certain sized
holes in each one. so arranged
that the smaller coal drops
through the smaller holes
first. and thus each size IS
Separated out" until only the
larger size, or block is left.
Every care is taken 10 sep

sizes and at the same time 10

COAL STRUCTURE
The sizes of coal manulac-
tured by a given tipple de-
pends largely upon the Struc-
ture Of the particular coal, its
characteristics, and
many other factors, so that
there is no STANDARD size
Of coal.
The various size groups
however, have general deS-
lgnationS.
