Gov. Marland labeled the Hanna income tax indictment a most unusual coincidence as he avoided committing to an interim U S Senate appointment. He said the issue may affect Democratic primary prospects but won’t determine the race, while noting Kilgore’s death created the vacancy. He named several finalists and said a decision could come in the near future.

Eccles No 5 Set to Reopen and Political Split Risks
Eccles No 5 mine of Eastern Gas and Fuel Associates will resume limited operation next week at the Beckley coal seam. Production targets 1,500 tons daily with about 125 workers, using the previous mining system and an electrified hoist. A calcium chloride plant addition trims cleaning, and the mine has been closed since 1953 for market reasons while No 6 continues in the Sewell seam. Separately Southern senators threaten a third party or walkout if the Democratic platform backs school integration, signaling potential party split ahead of the convention.
