admitted the attack, Capt. Bryant
said.
He told how he had become lost
in the arboretum neighborhood, and
seeing the child playing nearby
asked her the way to M street. He
said he was seized by q sudden i'm
pulse, grabbed the girl, "and then
went wild" police said.
Arousing momentarily from semi
consciousness, the injured child told
police last night she was knocked
unconscious within a few feet of
her home. When she was found, at
about 7::30 o'clock, she was lying
against the arboretum fence, about
200 feet from her home.
Found by Neighbor and Uncle.
The girl was found by a neighbor,
Archie Windsor, 48, and her uncle.

a search for her.
Later, detectives took searchlights
to the scene for a more thorough
search. Earlier they had found the
girls blue dress, slip and blue
jacket a few yards away from where
she lay. .
With the help of the hoodlights,
they discovered something else. Be-
side log, about so feet from where
the girl lay, was a letter addressed
to Holmes. 1t was from the District
Health Department ordering him to
appear for treatment of a venereal
disease.
The address led police to the
Seventh street place, in the rear of
which they found Holmes asleep in
his clothes.
Another Lead Available.

Wires on Message;
Reaction Is Mixed

Press Secretary Charles G.
Ross said today President Tru-
mans message to Congress
Wednesday brought 400 to 500
kilograms, and that a cross
section showed reaction was
mixed"
Mr.. Ross said he examined

about 2-to-1 in favor of the
Presidents position.
But Mr.. Ross said most of
those who wrote solely on the
proposal to revive the draft
were overwhelmingly against 1t.
"The fact that about so mes
sages in opposition to selective
service were almost identical
indicated they were inspired by
a single organization, even
though they were signed by
individuals" he said.

compared to other departments of the
Y. S. government. William Il. Wilson
served under Woodrow Wilson as the
first secretary. from 1a13-1921. He
was followed by the late James j..
Davis. who headed the department
under Presidents Harding, Coolidge
and Hoover until 1890, when he re-
signed to run successfully for the U.
S. Senate from his home state of
Pennsylvania.
William n. Doak held the job from
1890 to 1893, to be succeeded by
Frances Perkins, appointee of Pres
Franklin d. Roosevelt. She was the
first woman in American history to
hold a cabinet post. and it vas during
her regime that the department, paral-
lei with the growth Of organized labor.
loomed as one Of the most important
in the federal government.
The present secretary, Lewis B.
Schwellenbach. took over Labor De-
partment reins in the summer Of 1915
as an aprointee of President Truman.
after having served as judge in Wash
ington state and been a member of
the t.. S. senate. In connection with
the 35th anniversary Of the depart
ment, Schwellenbach said.
During these 35 years, the wage
e~arners Of this country have raised
their standard of living. won a greater
voice in the determination Of their
working conditions, established the
right to Join unions of their own
choosing and bargain collectively, and
advanced the strength and prestige of
the labor movement. They have had
an active role in government during
and between two world wars.
The department is dedicated to
the welfare and rights Of the indiyid-
ual. But these must be translated
into sound social legislation such as
the Labor Department has suggested
and supported in the past. Much
progress has been made. Much re
mains to be done
Operating bureaus Of the department
now are BIS. women's bureau, divi.
sion of labor standards, wage-hour

describing their services will soon be
available for unions and workers who
write the department for it.
