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.

.The report Is from U. S. public health service studies and It
blames doctors prescriptions of
sleeping pills for a large, propor
tion of the addicts.
The doctors, it says, either, have
not believed that sleeping pills
could cause addition, or were not
aware hoar serious this addiction

The favorite pills of the addicts
are named in the report as phen
obarbital, secondal and amytaL To
get to be addicts they change from
the occasional pills needed for
