From Grove to Atom. Roy Collins, a middle-of-the-road Democrat who presides over this most active and restless of states, is one of the most interesting and effective governors in the U.S. today. He has his roots deep in the restful Old South. Although he is only 46, he grew up in a Florida as different from today's as the pinewoods around his native Tallahassee are from the palmy patios of the Miami Beach hotels.

The News was sold by its five trustees...
...lawyer, Republican Congressman and Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, CAB Chief Rizley has done a notable job cleaning up CAB's backlog of cases. He has also worked to liberalize the regulations governing irregular air carriers to enable them to better compete with established airlines. President Eisenhower also reappointed Democrat Joseph Adams, another champion of competition, as CAB vice chairman...
