vide each child with access to a
school nurse at least weekly and a
physical and dental examination at
least annually; an adequate school

through joint contributions by the
State and localities
Revision of the election laws. new
road tax legilation, and a start to-
ward reducing pollution were ma ior
accomplishments of the 1916 General
Assembly.
AS usual, far more proposals were
killed than were written on the
statute books, and the defeated legis-
latlon included some of the recon-
mendations of both Gov. Tuck end
former Gov. Darden, though the two
executives on the whole had a good
batting average.
The lawmaking chambers were
the scene of repeated arguments on
labor legislation dealing with strikes
and picketing, and one labor spokes-
man charged Virginia was being
made a testing ground for similar
legislation elsewhere.
Labor Bills Passed.
The labor enactments included a
resolution declaring it against pub
lie official to bargain collectively
with labor union claiming the
right to strike; and two new laws,
one prohibiting unemployment of
public worker for one year if he
leaves his job on strike, and the
other prohibiting picketing by vio-
lence and limiting picketing to bona
flde employees of a strikebound
plant.
Two members of the House intro
duced bill that received more at
tention than the $500, ,00O, 900 budget
that was written down for the next
two years. Their now famous mea-

Truman Explains
why Agencies

Declares Program
To Clear Apartments
Is Stalled in CONGRESS

President Truman's answer on the
slowness of Government agencies
getting out of Washington apart
ment houses is that "the admins
tration program has been stalled
in Congress for such a long time
that it has been impossible to carry
out the plan as first scheduled"
The President was replying to a
letter of Chairman Mcmillan of
the House District Committee. Mr..
Truman's letter was released yes
terday.
Mr.. Mcmillan had asked for White
House aid in relieving Washington's
housing shortage by freeing apart
ment buildings occupied by Gov
ernment agencies for residential
use.
Agencies Being Returned.
Voiclng his personal interest In
the housing problem, the President
said he was sure all possible CO.
operation would be extended the
District Committee chairman bv
wilson Wyatt, the housing expe-
diter.
In his letter Mr.. Truman reminded
Congress that the Federal agencies
moved out of Washington during the
war now are being returned.
The Presidents letter, dated
March 4, said:
Replying to your letter Of the
nrst, we are having Just as much
difficulty with Office space for the
Government Agencies now as we
ever had during the wartime. A
great many of the departments are
being returned to Washington and
the demobilization of others has
oeen much slower than was at first
anticipated. Some of those we have
demobilized have had to be recon-
stltuted, as is particularly true with
regard to the Price Control program.
Program Is Stalled.

OF demobilizing these agencies lust
as fast as it could possibly be done,
but the administration program has
oeen stalled in Congress for such a

to carry out the plan as first sched-
uled. regret this very much.
Naturally. am more than in
terested in the housing program. AS
you know, I have appointed a spe-
clal housing expediter to accom-
pllsh the very things in which you
are interested and I am sure he
Will give you all the cooperation
possible"
Mr.. Mcmillan said that a sur
vey of the situation was being made
by an official of the Public Build
lngs Administration. He said he
hoped it would result in moving at
least some of the Government
! agencies out of residential build
lngs. He said he still chung to the
belief it would be possible to move
some of such agencies into tenn
porary buildings or into quarters
In the mammoth Pentagon.
He said he planned no further
steps in his campaign until the

Heretofore, over six hundred
theatres throughout the country,
catering to Negro audiences, were
forced to depend upon spasmodic
independent production and in
different distribution in relation
to the presentation of pictures
featuring an all-Negro cast But
