Collision Says Mines
Can Attain Top Output
Without Safety Drop
by the Assoeiated Press

Capt. N. H. COLLISION, coal mines
administrator, said today coal mines
can attain top output without sac
rificing safety.
In report to Secretary Of the
Interior Krug on the Government s
operation of soft coal pits from
July 20, 1916, to June 30, 1947, Capt
Collision recommended that the
United Mine Workers take the lead
in bringing about miner compliance
with safety requirements. He said,
Many of the traditional habits
and methods of long standing must
be changed in order to eliminate
unsafe working conditions in the
mines"
Capt. Collision also proposed that: /:
l. Coal operators, free of Fed
eral regulations for the first time
in IL years, work. specifically toward
maximum safety under terms of the
contract Mr.. Lewis signed with
operators earlier this month.
Urges Code Revision.
z. The Federal Mine Safety Code
be constantly revised and reviewed,
on the basis of study, experimental
ton and practice.
8. The Bureau Of Mines assume
responsibility for increased and
continued experimentation in safety
measures and practices, particularly
with regard to rock dusting methods
and the use of Diesel engines in
gassy mines.
"It might be argued, Capt. Collis-
son said, that improvement in min
ing safety can only be accomplished
at the expense of the necessary
production of bituminous coal.
The operation of the majority of
the bituminous-coal mines under
the uniform standards of the Fed
eral Mine Safety Code (July %,
1946, to June 80, 194D refutes with
out question any such theory.
"The 620,751, 900 tons Of coal
produced during that period is sec
ond only to the coal produced in the
comparable period July /. 1943, to
June 80, 1914, when $50, ,485 ,0o0 tons
were mined.
To Liquidate Unit.
TT would seem clearly indicated
that increased safety and maximum
production Of coal are quite possible
and need not be considered as a
deterrent in the accomplishment OF
either objective"
Capt. Collision, who told reporters
he plans to complete the liquidation
of the defunct Coal Mines Ad-
ministration in August, said in his
report that there were 3,o5S mine
inspections during the period OF
Government possession.
These inspections revealed $1,000
safety code violations, of which 40
3Ol later were corrected and 1902
were being corrected when the Coal
Mines Administration expired.
BY contrast, $4,000 violations were
corrected in the So months before
July, 1916.
Now Free Of U. s. Curbs.
In suggesting that the operators
now have an opportunity to work
toward maximum mine safety, Capt.
COLLISION noted that "for the first
time in about decade and half
they are free of Federal regulations.
Starting in 1885, the Guffey Coal
Act clamped restrictions on prices
and marketing practices in the BIZ
luminous industry. This act was
repealed in 1912. During the war,
the Solid Fuels Administration han
died ALLEGATIONS and distribution
of coal.
The Coal Mines Administration
was set up to manage the mines
during the last period Of Federal
operation.

NAACP CREATES POST
 OF CHURCH SECRETARY

New York-The appointment of Walter Ofutt as Church Sec retary to the staff of the NAA- CP today filled what has long been considered an important need. The Rev. James H. Rob- inson and the Rev. O. c. Max well, co-chairmen of the Relig- ious Activities Committee, de- clared, in announcing the ap- pointment, that a coordinator of church activity will be effective and valuable member of the national staff.
 Churches are becoming more conscious of their social role in society, in addition to taking a more active part in fighting for civil rights, community better ment and against discrimina- tion," the co-chairmen said. At annual church meetings, Sun day School Conferences, Quar- terly Conferences, student as- semblies in the summer, Nation al Women s Missionary Confer ences, and other kinds of church conventions, there has been an increasing desire for leadership in the area of social action.
 Offutt's background specifi- cally fits him to fill this post. He holds Bachelor of Arts de gree from West Virginia State College, a Master of Arts in political science from the Uni versity of Pennsyvania. He has completed all the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Divinity at the Union Theologi- cal Seminary.
 Ofutt taught civics in a Louisville, Ky, public school. He was Race Relations Field Representative for the Office of Price Administration, and as sistant minister of the Mt. Oli- vet Baptist Church in Philadel- phia Baptist Church ill Brook. lyn. For the past two years while attending Union Theo. logical Seminary, he has served as a field worker in a recently established community pro gram.

PRYOR-JORDON BOUT A DRAW

In the feature bout at the Hartford Auditorium, Tues day night, Springfeld's Bobby Pryor and Henry Jordan, rug ged Philadelphia trial horse, :, fought ten gruelling rounds to a draw as seen by referee Ed die Reed, who not too long ago was one of the most clever ring stylists fighting out of Hartford.
 Jordan's bull-like boring tactics coupled with an un- willingness to stand up and fight it out combined with Fry OTIS slip punching from all angles did not make the bout a regular pier six slugfest as many fans are used to seeing when the newcomers meet. However to those who are ac- customed to styles of the more experienced campaigners, the bout was most satisfactory even if Pryor really deserved the nod. The Springfield lad seems to be a puzzle 10 many fight fans in that he is pos sessed of more than a little ring knowledge, exhibits a coolness under fire that bellies his age (2D; but seems to tire after six rounds. Perhaps he should consult a vitamin ex- pert.
 The best bout of the eve ming saw Tippy Morgan, a hard punching colored lad from New York, hand Patrick John Brady, brother of the more famous Dennis, a tho rough shellacking. Referee Eddie Reed stopped the fight in the second round after Bra. dy had kissed the canvas four times. All through the rest o1 the card, fans were still talk ing about Morgan and express ing the hope that promoter Gus Brown will show him here again.

Walter "Doc'' Hurley, long remembered in sports circles for his prowess in activities at Weaver High, where his spe- cialty was in basketball and football, continues in athletic glory at Virginia State where he is quite busy earning his degree in physical education.
 Docs most recent exploits were in the C.I.A.A. tourney at Howard University where he was the sparkplug and key man in Virginia States tri- umph that eventually led them to the tournament champion ship. To really appreciate this fact, one need only to look at the seedlings of the team to learn that "State was actually seeded for seventh in the eight team tournament. Doc was the blackboard man of the hour, handling all the rebounds and also contributing his share in the forward court. The news of his outstanding play came directly from an observer, Dave Thompson, who was la wish in singing the praises of Hurley's importance in his teams victories and stated that it was the unanimous choice of all the fans that Doc be selected for the All Con ference Team.
