State Institutions
On Inspection Tour
By Alex R. Preston
Sfor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

- PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. o.
In less than a week after their
election new members of the
Virginia General Assembly today
began preparing themselves for
legislative problems by a per-
sonal inspection of State-sup-
ported institutions.
Four Negro facilities were on
the first days agenda-an insti-
tuition of higher learning, two
mental institutions and a cor
Iectional farm.
The inspections, which will
run through Thursday this week
and continue for five days next
week, are an innovation for the
General Assembly, Oldest legis-
lative body in continuous exist
ence.
E. Blackburn Moore of Berry
vile, Speaker of the House of
Delegates, originated the idea
and the last Legislature approved
it. He saw the inspection tours
as means of getting freshmen
legislators acquainted with the
States operations outside of
Richmond.
Dalton With Group.
There were handful of older
members in the group of about
80, including State Senator Ted
Dalton, who has been a legisla-
tor for 10 years. Mr.. Dalton,
Republican, was defeated by
Democrat Thomas B. Stanley for
Governor last Tuesday.
Among those participating in
today'S tour are four members
of the House of Delegates from
the Washington area who will
take Office in January. They are
Harrison Mann and Mrs. Kathryn
Stone of Arlington and John C.
Webb and Omer L. Hirst of
Fairfax.
Some idea of the magnitude
If the problems confronting them
was indicated by the fact that
the four institutions to be visited
today. out of more than 90
throughout the Commonwealth,
have presented budget requests
amounting to about $23 million
over what they are getting in the
budget for the current biennium.
See $500 Million Budget.
Gov. Battle, Gov. .-elect Stanley

Arlington residents testified he
had been overzealous, rude and
persistent.
Judge Hugh Reid, of Arlington
County Court, fined the sales
man, William Decatur Hender-
son, $25 in costs, then added a
$40 contempt fine because Hen
derSon was late for court.

a bathrobe when Henderson
knocked at her apartment door
She said he tried to get in, say
ing he was an EXCL selling
magazines to go to medical

but rude" she added.
Henderson, who said he is
employed by the National Liter
ary Association, admitted he is on
parole from an Indiana reform
atory. where he was confined
after being involved in a car
theft.
A representative from his COM
pany testified Henderson's repu-
tation is perfect" and that he
is a gentleman in every way"
Not Abusive, Court Says.
In finding Henderson guilty
Judge Reid said there was no
evidence the salesman had been
abusive. The judge added, how
ever, that he did find evidence
that the salesman's conduct was
such as to cause apprehension
and possibly terror"
Arlington County officials are
still working on an ordinance to
license and register peddlers,
solicitors, and itinerant sales
men. At two recent hearings be-
fore the county board, sales
agencies vociferously objected to
the discriminatory" nature Of
one such ordinance that has been
proposed.
Last month John Clay Ken
sington, an itinerant magazine
salesman from Pittsburgh, was
sentenced in Arlington to die in
the electric chair December 10
for the murder of a Takoma
Park cab driver last June.
