10 Mr.. Coleman. Is rot founded ON
fact, so far as Virginia liz concerned
Eight states are mentioned in the
statement as having reported to the
department completed projects in

Virginia. The Inference lis that the
authorities here are not credited by
the federal government with any real
accomplishment in this direction.
This is entirely contrary to fact"
Mr.. Coleman said yesterday Not
