His findings were based on a two-and-g-half-week study of nine large encampments and nearby cities. He also talked with Government officials, including Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and Gen. George C, Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U. S. Army. “Official Washington is making some motions to help,” the article said. “A bill proposed by Rep. May (D. Ky.) aims to outlaw prostitution near the camps; the War Department high eommand favors its passage; it stands a good chance of being enacted.” Citing examples of alleged political collusion in vice conditions near camps, Mr. Hall said the sudden spurt in money available from soldiers’ paychecks “blinded” local officials* to the duty of law en-

2 FREE TEXTBOOKS BILLS INTRODUCED

A free textbook proposal was introduced in the House today by Reps. Robert Heller (D. Decatur) and Howard Batman (D, Terre Haute), with two bills. ‘One measure would set up a free book system wtih the distribution on a per capita basis. The other asks a $600,000 appropriation annually to launch the program and keep it functioning. Under the first bill, the State Board of Education would distribute whatever funds that might be appropriated to all local school unts, so much for each pupil. The local board officials would purchase State-approved books with the funds, with the State retaining title to the books. Rep. ‘Heller explained that with a $600,000 appropriation, free textbooks ‘could be started in some grades all over the State and the system extended to other grades each year. Even if the appropriation request were cut, the system could be launched. Both parties pledged free textbooks during the campaign.
