Gov. Price Charges
Legislature 'Muffed'
lis Opportunities
Failure to Enoct Parole
And Reorganization
Measures Criticized
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March Ii
Gov. Price told his press conference
today. the General Assembly had
"muffed" two Of its best opportu-
mites for efficiency and saving in
killing the reorganization proposals
and the bill establishing q system Of
probation and parole.
The executive said he would veto
the bill abolishing the commission
ON county government and that a
more constructive program on
county government would be sub
mitted next session.
y The County Government Commis-
sion had functioned for the past
two years without a legislative ap-
preparation. In addition to passing
bill abolishing commission, the
1910 Assembly adopted an amend
ment to the appropriation bill pro-
hibiting the State Planning Board
from using any Of its appropriation
for a study OF county government.
Prices Statement.
Gov. Price dictated the following
statement to newspapermen:
1.-THE economical Legislature has
adjourned without eliminating q
single position in the State gov
ernment.
"The General Assembly has
muffed two of the principal oppor-
tunities for efficiency and saving.
First. the reorganization bill which
would have attributed immeasurably
to the efficiency of State govern
ment, and according to the best
experts would have saved thousands
OF dollars annually. Business people
of the State were greatly interested
and suggested It's adoption as a
substitute for the imposition Of any
new taxes.
Second, the failure to complete
the program for probation and
parole. Outside influences wer per-
mitted to destroy these bills at
the eleventh hour. Ample funds
for administration Of the bills were
available.
Predicts Their Adoption.
Il confidently predict that the
splendid general programs sub
mitted to the General Assembly will,
within the next three or four years,
be adopted in their entirety because
they are fundamentally right.
Il have not had time to review
in detail all of the accomplish
ments of the General Assembly, and
I will have something to say about
this later.
THE unemployment compensation
pay roll tax reduction amounting ap-
proximately to $500, 900 annually is
constructive accomplishment.
THE revenue bills were passed.
The subject of schools has been
given proper emphasis for the first
time in my legislative experience of
nearly quarter of a century. The
success Of the three-point program
is very definitely assured" {

Grafton of young men and young
women who will face life courageous
ly, with a purpose, vision and a
faith.
"Our service is not so much needed
in the creation of more wealth or
more resources. but in the direc-
ton of what we have for the noblest
and the best" s~
Mrs. Haig declared that in view
Of the D. A. RS 50th anniversary
this year. members should ask
themselves: JHave we served we'll
and righteously2 May We all give
thanks anew and rejoice whole
heartedly that we have a ID. A. R.

"The day Of triumph will come If
we make use Of present opportu-

our nation to the world"
