Ouster demand and Krug clash over Centralia mine blast
John L. Lewis charged Secretary Krug with being a dis reputable politician and urged Congress to remove him. He blamed Krug for delaying mine safety action and criticized Krug’s court injunctions while noting government mines reopened after a six day mourning period for Centralia victims. Lewis argued safety improved under federal control and accused Krug of criminal negligence. He contrasted union safety powers with government actions and warned unsafe mines could run.

Ex City Attorneys Say Water Funds Can Be Used to Pay Garbage Costs
Two former Lawrence city attorneys say state law allows a city to create a citywide garbage collection funded entirely from the water department’s profits. They argue the city council can enact ordinances under police and health powers to remove garbage beyond city limits and that water department earnings could cover all costs with potential water rate adjustments if needed.

TWO MEASURES KILLED IN TOPEKA DESPITE NEW APPROPRIATION PROPOSAL
In Topeka on April 3 the Kansas House and Senate saw social welfare bills halted after debates on 10 measures while an appropriation of 1 543 900 dollars for new construction at Kansas University and Kansas State college plus several charitable institutions was introduced. A lone dissenting vote accompanied approval of an emergency bill prompted by Rep. Thos R Cau thers. Separately a renewed clash over income taxes sparked by a resolution to study returns of cooperatives and their members was struck from the enacting clause by the house by acclamation. The Senate sent to the governor a measure to raise revenue by increased cigaret and beer taxes, which the governor endorsed along with the other measures. In London, 42 people aged 70 to 91 received Maundy Money at Westminster Abbey.
