Some Veterans Turned Away.
Because the university is jammed
to capacity, he said, some veterans
have had to be turned away.
DR.. Johnson said the university
had expected a total of 5.130 stu

of whom were expected at the be-
ginning of the autumn semester.
But when the autumn quarter
opened, he added. the university was
confronted with 5.445 flll-time stu

This represented an increase of D.

enforce the mine safety code.
Much progress has been made
under the present Federal mine in
spection system, but 1t is not as
effective as If definite police powers
were provided by law" DR.. Sayers
said.
There are more than IS States
that produce coal and most Of them
have regulations concerning mine
safety and no two Of them are
alike"
Now that a Federal mine safety
code is In effect, he said, ''it appears
to be an opportune time to take ad-
vantage Of this fact and to give
the Bureau of Mines power to have
the code requirements placed in ef-
feet"
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming already has said he be-
lieves Tightening of safety regula-
tons is inevitable" as a result OF
the Ceptralia disaster.

The subcommittee recessed until
next Wednesday after hearing Navy
Capt. N. H. COLLISION, head of the
Federal Coal Mines Administration
OF the Interior Department.
Chairman Gordon said that John
L. Lewis probably would not testify
until next Thursday or Friday.
After Capt. Collision had finished
testifying, Senator Gordon told
newsmen it was apparent at this
stage of the investigation of coal
mine safety that one of two things
designed to make the mines safer
would have to be done. He said
that either some way would have
to be found to bring about uni
formity between States as to safety
laws and the enforcement of them
or authority to enforce safety
standards at mines would have to
be given to the Federal Govern
ment.
Toward the end of Capt. Collis-
sons testimony, Senator O'Mahoney
brought out that a provision carried
over into the contract under which
the Government operates the mines
from the miners 1941 agreement
with private operators tended to
make it impossible for the workers
in Illinois to seek any improvement
in working conditions. including
safety, without the approval of the
mine owners.

THE committee may wonder why
Mr.. PERI did not request that the
mine be closed because of imminent
danger.
THE conditions at Centraia were
very hazardous and the inspector
realized that unless they were
changed there was likelihood of an
explosion. However, in the normal
course of coal mining procedures
there would have been ample oppor-
tunity to make the necessary COR
rections.
Il want the committee to know
that and my safety inspection di-

quoted his informant as saying he
had mailed all 20 bombs, one of

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY

r. A. IeX) Green, former con-
gresham and candidate for Gov
ernor in the last go-round is bit
ing his nails and trying to decide
what to do. He wants to run for
something but doesn't know just
what. Maybe governor, maybe at
torney general or maybe for a
return to congress. He has his
car to the ground and we will
hear from him sooner or later,
I'm sure.
, A half dozen others are con-
sidering entering the race and
no one can saw at this time how
many will be lined up at the post
when the starting gun is fired.
A spreading rumor to the ef-
feet that Commissioner of Agri-
culture Nathan Mayo would re-
tire at the end of his present
term caused an ambitious crowd
of office seekers to start beat
ing the bushes.
! Ammon Mcclellan of Fort
Pierce didn't wait to find out
whether MAYO would run or not
but tossed his sombrero into the

When Tom Watson announced
that he would not run to succeed
himself as Attorney General but
instead would seek the office
of Governor he let the bars down
for a free -for-all and at this wri-
ting it looks as though we would
have a swarm of candidates for
this office.
Running for a cabinet office
against a man who is firmly en-
trenched and runs to succeed
himself is a mighty tough race
for other contenderS, for the man
in office has a tremendous adj
vantage. and if Tom had chosen
to remain in the office of attor-
nev general it is extremely
doubtful if he would have had
anv serious opposition.
Now, however. it is anvbody'S
race and it is beginning to look
like anybody and everybody will
get into it.
During the legislative session
P. Guy Crews, representative
from Duval, let it be known that
he would be candidate and he
has been campaigning ever since,
L. Grady Burton of Wauchula,
one-time gubernatOrial candl-
date. and an able lawyer, IS def
inately in the race and with his
wide acquaintanceship through
out the state and strong political
connections he has tremendous
advantage over others who are
less we'll known.

sistant attorney general. who

combined with cloche, cuff or

round, is further elaborated by
feathers, fur. glittering rolls of
metallic lame or poufs of velvet

could not possibly be accomplish
ed during his present term.
With Mavo definitely planning
to run for rejection it is doubt
full if any serious opposition will
develop Mayo is loved and res
pected throughout the state and
it is generally agreed that he can
retain his office as long as he
wants to.
There may be other candidates
seeking cabinet offices but pres
ent incumbents will all run for
reelection. and that means that
any opposition that develops
will have a tough time of it for
it is plenty hard to defeat a man
who is in and wants to stay.
AS it appears now, the only
race for cabinet post that will
attract public attention and
arouse any degree of interest will
be the race for attorney general
and of the men who have an
nounced to date. it would appear
that L. Grady Burton is in the.
most advantageous position.
Having made statewide race
for the Office of Governor, his
name is known to thousands of
voters who have never heard of
the other contenders. On top of
this, he VIII get strong support
from political circles and he can
be deperted upon to run
mighty god race.
We dor ! know great deal
about who will or will not run
until later in the year, but come
