Scientists Driven Florida GovernorMay Be Candidate As Vice President Washington - (CO) - Flor Ida's Governor Leroy Collins, a silver-tongued orator who uses his speaking skills to fur ther the Muse of moderation and understanding between the races, will be a man in the spotlight at the Democratic NajBinal Convention in July. Collins, 51, is not only permanent chairman of the convention - a post of power and influence held by the re- aouotaoie bam Kayburn in tial Vice Presidential nomi nee. A study of Collins' record In public life reveals a man of deep religious and moral - convictions who has been un usually successful in dampepd lng the fires of racial tensioV in his home state. 'Qualities of th. Spirit' . . Collins was first elected Governor in 1954 after com pleting twelve years in the state house and senate. In augurated in 1955, he startled the people of Florida with some straight talk: "Progress In business, industry and hu man welfare can only go so far with a ward-heeling, back scratching, self-promoting po litical system ... . Govern ment must have qualities of the spirit." His first program to the legislature -Utree-quarters of which was proved - includ- A U - r Jernment reform tfk proposedLP oy a norma governor, suc cessful measures included a new state development com mission, repeal of FloijWa's "quickie" divorce law, a rtrerit system for state employees, .' six new junior colleges, and an increase in teachers' pay. TlQgh a defender of states' rights, Collins warned local and state governments must tax properly and govern prop erly or Wellington must step in. "If nnWe people would be concerned with states' respon sibilities instead of states' .riiiim. iik siiiu. Liitfie wuuiri 'Moderate' on Race Issue By 1956 racial tensions, stemming fromibe Supreme Court's 1954 siQjyjl segrega tion decision, were becoming heated in Florida as else where in the South. Collins ran for reelection Sava moder ate and swampextremist opposition. He will not be eligible to run for reelection in 1960. Collins has counselled Flor ldians against open defiance of the Supreme Court, saying that such defiance "is little short of rebellion or an archy." He points with pride to Florida pupil placement laws, luhich he supported, that allowvjucal school boards to decide when local conditions perarit school integration. The firsJ-public school in Florida was integrated last Septem ber. Collins has urged the legis lature "never, never, never to . pass a law under which a J school can bi closed (to avoid integration). When you close schools, you close people's mindilfcid shut out progress." He has vetoed extremist pro- Three Arrested Iff Ashland Police o Ashland - City-colice Mon day night arrestS a 22-year-old Medford man and two Medford teen-agers on various charges after flirting them drinking beer aWa service station parking lot on East Main st.
