TfMMnr omm WASHINGTON, April 20 -(V President Truman decided today to hold his news conferences in the old state department building, instead of the White House, and to tighten the rules. The old state department build ing is across the street from the White House. , The new rules provide that: 1. All reporters will be seated. 2. Each reporter who wants to ask a question will be required to stand, gain recognition, give his name and tell whom he represents Under the old system, reporters stood in front of Mr. Truman's desk in the White House oval room, and asked questions informally. Mr. Truman knows a majority of reporters, but frequently gets a question from a reporter he does not know. Now the name of the reporter will go down in the of ficial stenographer's records. ' Some of the reporters assigned to the White House registered ob jections to the change. For one thing they objected that the new room, although somewhat larger than the oval room, has only one door and is thus Inconvenient for newsmen who must rush out quick ly to telephone the results of the conferences. Whlta -Hous Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said, however, that the change was "mainly for the convenience of the press." It was explained that the arrange ment for seating reporters will en able all present to see and hear what Is going on. Sleeping Pitt Addiction Said Worse Than TKat of Morphine , By Howard W.
