The Commission on Governmental
Efficiency and Economy has found
the State Department Of Public Vel
fare is operated efficiently and eco
nomcally in the best interests of
Maryland citizens"
Completing a lengthy probe of the
state agency, the commission noted
in it's report to Governor Lane that
Intensive study Of the activities of
the State department of Public Wei
fare, together with an examination
Of the departments relationship to
an effect upon the administration and
operation Of the % local county vel
fare agencies, had disclosed little of
a nature serious enough to justify
criticism"
Another part Of the report stated
The great weight of opinion through
out the state was found to regard
the program as being rather con-
servative and that it should be so;
and that its present scope was broad
enough. The program was being uni
formly administered in accordance
with the Maryland laws which govern
it, and the operations Of the local
agencies themselves reflected such
uniformity to a high degree"

Virginia 10 Dewey
~ the Associoisd Press


PHILADELPHIA, June 23.-A di-
vided Virginia delegation decided
late yesterday to put OH . poll on
preference for q presidential nomi-
nee until balloting begins.
An unofiicial count, however,
shows II of the Virginians support
ing Gov. Dewey, eight for Senator
Taft, and one for Speaker Martin.
Gov. Dewey began to show signs
of gaining an overwhelming major
ity of Virginia's votes on the second
ballot.
The lone vote for Speaker Martin
is expected to be cast on the first
ballot by Mrs. Menalcus Lankford OF
Norfolk, out of respect for her de-
ceased husbands friendship for the
Congress member. The two men
served together in the House.
Although newsmen were barred
from the meeting, heated discus
sion repeatedly broke out over the
way Virginia should cast her ballots.
Delegation Chairman Robert H.
Woods of Pearisburg said later that
while no definite checkup was taken,
it appeared that on the second ballot
virtually all of Virginia's votes would
swing to Gov. Dewey.
I'VE were tremendously affected
by the news that Senator Martin OF
PENNSYLVANIA will make the NOM
mating speech for Dewey" Mr..
Woods said.
The only definite business settled
at the meeting was an unanimous
vote to sustain the Credentials Com
mittee in any contests that are
brought up on the convention floor.

All through the hall hundreds OF

There were young men and women
who looked up at him with the awe

looked up at him with the eyes OF
