First lady inspects war workers' homes. On an inspection tour of federal dormitories for war workers in Washington, D.C., on May 18, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt visited four projects erected for Negroes and expressed herself as highly pleased with the accomodations. At Wake and Midway Halls, she was greeted by Samuel Plato, building contractor, who had just turned the buildings over to the government. Mr. Plato is shown with Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss W. Gertrude Brown, resident manager of Wake Hall. The two buildings, opened last month for more than 800 Negro women war workers, were formally dedicated by Mrs. Roosevelt
