Virginia Senate
adytoActon
Anti-Trumun Plan
Also Comes Before
Assembly This Week
BY the Asseeioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. 8. The
Virginia General Assembly opened
the last week Of its l948 regular
session today.
Topping the heavy Assembly
docket before the legislators were
two of Gov. Tuck's foremost recon-
mendations, the Truman bill
and the State governmental reor-
ganization.
The Senate Courts of Justice
Committee was to begin it's final
work on the reorganization pro-
gram at II am. and finish the bill
and amendments in time for Sem
ate consideration at noon.
The reorganization program origi-
nally would have compressed and
rearranged the 70-odd State agen-
cies into IA major departments and
three auxiliary agencies. According
TO Senator Robert o. Norris, jr., Of
Lancaster, however, six subcommit-
tees have made right many"
changes in the proposals.
Only Gesture Expected.
Other Assembly sources predicted
that whatever reorganization legis-
lation is passed will amount to littls
more than a gesture. Because the
actual legislation was delayed in it's
submission to the Assembly, many
members take the view that 1t Is too
late to give proper consideration to
such complex matters.
There has been some speculation
that Gov. Tuck might call special
session II the Assembly bypasses
the reorganization program. The
Governor has made no comment on
these rumors.
The House Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections is scheduled to
act favorably on the second Tuck
measure, the anti-Truman bill,
either today or tomorrow. The
touchdown elections bill would re-
serve for the State Democratic Con-
vention the right to repudiate the
national party's nominee for Presi-
dent and still retain the party label
in the State.
Other Unfinished Business.
Among other items of unfinished
business are:
An antiannexation bill revived
and passed by country boys" in
the House of Delegates last week,
Now in the hands of Senate COM
mittee, the bill would allow no an
Inexation by cities of the first class
without the prior approval of at
least rs per cent of the qualified
voters in the county territory sought
ito be annexed. City representatives
say 1t would stop all annexation.
The $513,000,0 900 general appropri-
ations bill, passed by the House and
now in Senate Finance Committee.
| The sixth and last of the Gov
ernors tax-increase bills, increasing
gross receipts taxes on public serv-
ice corporations by Il per cent, and
the administration backed bill to
plug loopholes and increase rates In
/ license taxes on truckers. Both have
passed the House and are in Senate
4 committee. con the House side, q
Senate-approved bill to restore the
IL per cent gross receipts tax on
truckers is pendingD
Both the House and Senate were
to convene at noon today.
Adjournment of this session Is ex-
pected some time Saturday.

Virginia Warns
Restaurants on
Big Beer Sales
ABC Says Licenses
Moy Be Denied if too
Little Food is Sold

Virginia restaurant proprietors
who sell more beer and wine than
food have been warned by the Vir-
ginia Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board that they may lose their
licenses. -
John P. Mclaughlin, secretary OF
the board, disclosed today that copies
of the warning have been sent to
inspectors throughout the State.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he is not
able to estimate how many mer-
chants may be affected. He ex-
planned the boards action was
merely cracking down" Of an
already existing policy.
Inspectors Are Instructed.
"The board feels that many places
which started out as restaurants
when they first were granted off
sale licenses have deteriorated to
saloons" Mr.. Mclaughlin explained.
He said the board had instructed
inspectors throughout the State, in
cluding those at the Northern Vir-
ginia Office in Alexandria, to find
out which restaurants are selling
on the premises more alcoholic bev-
erages than food. The ruling does
not include off-sale of beer and
wines.
The dealers have been placed
on notice that unless they are SELL
ing more food than beer or wine,
they probably will not have their
licenses renewed this year, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said. The deadline for
renewal of licenses is June 30, al
though the board probably will be-
gin considering applications for re-
newals in April or May, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin added.
Beverage Sale Incidental.
"It has always been the policy
of the board that the sale of al
coholic beverages is incidental to
other business at an ablishment,' u
the board secretary emphasized.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said eating es-
Establishments with on-sale licenses
were expected to sell at least SO
per cent more food than beer. "Of
course, there necessarily will be
exceptions to meet peculiar situa-
tions in some parts of the State" he
said and added that each case would
be considered on its individual
merits.
ABC Inspector w. w. Duncan,
jr., at the Northern Virginia Office
in Alexandria, said he expects to
receive his letter of instruction this
week.

Tobacco Men 10 Hold
Leonardtown Session
On Grading Today

The first OF series OF meetings
to discuss a possible tobacco grad
ing program for Southern Maryland
was to be held at 1:30 o'clock this
afternoon at the ST. Marys County
Courthouse at Leonardtown.
. Walter B. Posey. University OF
Maryland tobacco specialist, said
growers will be told of the advant-
ages to be gained from proper to-
bacco grading in order to decide
whether or not to hold referendums
necessary for adoption of the pro-
gram.
The referendums, Mr.. Posey said,
must be held by the first part of
April in order for the program to
become effective by the beginning
of the tobacco sales period.
Under the program, Mr.. Posey
said, official graders would be sta
toned at all tobacco warehouses
where farmers could receive expert
advice on grading their crop. The
grading system would provide a
descriptive language for tobacco
that now is lacking in Southern
Maryland, he said. There would be
no cost to the growers.
Mr.. Posey said growers also will
discuss support program for South
ern Maryland tobacco. He said that
while Federal grading must accom-
pany a support program, it is pos
sible to have a grading program
without the support program.
A bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland,
to revise the base year for parity
payments for Maryland tobacco now
is pending before Congress.
The present parity base would
support Maryland tobacco at about
80 cents pound, or about Is cents
below last years market average.
Growers feel that unless this base is
revised upward, it would be better
for Maryland growers to do without
support program.
Other grower meetings Will be held
at the Annapolis High School at 8
pm. Thursday. the Calvert County
Courthouse at Prince Frederick at
l 80 pm. Saturday; the Gwyn Park
High School, Prince Georges County,
at pm. March Is; the Upper Marl-
boro High School, 8 pm. March Is,

Medical Society
Plans Inquiry
! nto GaI|inger
Probe Is Independent
Of RuhIond Request,
Secretary Asserts
By Thomos G. Buchonon

DR.. Raymond T. Holden, president
of the District Medical Society, to-
day informed Commissioner Guy
Mason he had assigned special
committee Of doctors to investigate
conditions at Gallinser Hospital.
Theodore wiprud, the society's
executive secretary, said the action
was taken independently Of re-
quest of Health Of1cer George C..
Ruhland that such a study be made.
The committee will make a
lengthy investigation, it was said,
and will call its shots as it sees
them" without taking sides in per-
sonality feuds. 1t will act without
fanfare, and will make no announce
ments while the study Is in pro-
gress, Mr.. Wiprud said.
When its work is done, according
to DR.. Holden, it will submit its
recommendations for any proposed
changes in the Gallinger admins
tration to the medical society's own
executive board. II they involve
matters of public policy, the mem
bership as a whole will act on them.
Committee was Formed.
1.-THE executive board has been
deeply perturbed by the inadequa-
cies said to exist at Gallinger Hos
pital," DR.. Holden stated in a letter
to Mr.. Mason.
Recent developments led 1t to
establish q Committee on Medical
Care in Public Institutions for the
purpose of making an objective
study OF District institutions and
the medical care provided their
inmates"
DR.. Holden said the task of con-
ducting the Gallinger investigation
had been assigned this committee.
He promised Commissioner Mason
TO keep him informed on future
steps the medical society might take
on the city hospital situation.
No mention was made in DIR.
Holden's note of any communication
from DR.. Rutland on the subject al
though the health officer told re-
porters last Friday he was sending
q letter to the medical society presi-
dent suggesting that he appoint
committee to make an inspection of
Gallinger.
Letter Not Received.
Mr.. Wiprud said DR.. Ruhland's
letter had not been received when
the communication to Commissioner
Mason was prepared.
The health officers letter. which
was shown the press. branded as
"entirely destructive" the comments
on Gallinger administrative short
comings made recently by five of the
city S most prominent physicians.
DR.. Holden did not refer to specific
statements made by Drs. Charles F.
Geshickter, Brian Blades, Robert j.
Coffey, Ross T. McIntire and Her
bert P Ramsey.
His letter to Commissioner Mason
Justified the qualifications OF the
medical society's,e special committee
to get the facts on medical service
at Gallinger, however, with the as
sertion:
Certainly physicians should be
In the best position to give sound
advice as to what constitutes proper
health safeguards and adequate
medical care"
The committee that will make
the Gallinger study is headed by
DR.. Maurice A. Selinger and in
cludes Drs. A. Claggett Gray, James
N. Greear, Carolyn Pincock and
]. Ross Veal.
