Prominent philanthropists and clubs urge legislators to allow use of school buildings after hours for healthy play, dances, and programs modeled on wartime city centers. A bill to permit school use has passed the Senate and awaits House action.

Capital Loses Convention Once More In Capital
Washington fails to host a major convention due to insufficient floor space. Tom Grant of the Chamber of Commerce returned from New York after negotiating with railway supply firms he hoped would relocate the event here. The convention requires 14,000 square feet for exhibits, more than the old census office can provide, so organizers will take the event to Atlantic City where adequate room exists.
