Mobile Exports Drop Reported in 1948 Decline
MOBILE AP A 19 400 000 drop in exports in the Mobile district occurred in 1948 versus 1947, per a U S Department of Commerce report. 1943 exports were 82 000, 1947 a record 102 000. Mobile and Gulfport omitted in the district. The decline partly offset by a jump from 22 000 in 1942 to 33 100 000 in 1948. Malcolm Haws, district manager, cites a late 1948 shipping lull and expects a rise after July 1, with Latin American growth contributing.

Utilities Regulation Will Be Put To Vote Of Florida Senators
The Florida Senate will vote today on a bill to place privately owned gas and electric utilities under state regulation. Sponsor Sen. Henry Baynard defended the measure against amendments, while opponents in the House delayed action, virtually killing the bill for the session. The proposal would expand the public utilities commission from three to five members if authorized, and would end governor appointment power by making commissioners elected. House actions postponed further consideration until June 3, then indefinitely.
