Six Budget Bill vetoes
By Gov. Price Are
Ruled Invalid
Virginia Court Orders
Provisions Restored
To State Measure
Ev the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1.-THE
Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals
today sustained Attorney General
A. p Staples in holding invalid six
vetoes by Gov. Price of provisions
of the. State general appropriation
bill. In seventh instance the
Governors veto was upheld.
The courts action was in the
form OF awarding a mandamus to
the attorney general to require the
keeper of the rolls, E. Grifnth Dod-
son, to restore the six vetoed pro-
visions to the budget act.
The point on which the Governor
was upheld was his veto of a pro-
vision exempting certain salaries in
the judicial and legislative depart.
ments from a requirement for ex-
ecutive control.
Wanted Provisions Included.
Attorney General Staples brought
his petition to require Mr. Dodson
to include the vetoed provisions in
an addendum to the printed appro-
priation act.
He held that the so-called Items"
! eliminated by the Governor were
lin fact legislative directions or re-
| strictions as to the use of appro-
priations to which the Governor did
not object" and that Item OF an
appropriation bill" in the meaning
of section rs of the constitution
was "a specific item Of appropria-
ton" not a word, clause or sentence
or paragraph limiting an appropria-
! ton or prescribing how the money
appropriated should be expended.
Items Affected.
/ The attorney general also held
that elimination Of the items vetoed
would affect items to which the
Governor did not object and thus
the approved items would be
amended by executive action"
He contended further that no
Governor ever before had attempted
to veto provisions comparable to
/ those involved in this case and that
the entire act as passed was valid.
The provisions on which the at
tornev general was upheld we're:
l. Giving the attorney general au-
thority to appoint attorneys for
! State departments and agencies.
! 2. Providing for the establishment
of the legislative director of the
| budget.
g. Prohibiting the use of more
than s7040 the first year and SO 060
the second year of the biennium
for payment of additional salaries
and wages in the Division of the
Budget.
4. Providing that no part of the
State Planning Boards appropria-
ton shall be used for the investiga.
ton and study of county govern
ment.
S. Prohibiting the Fisheries Com
| mission from using its appropria-
ton for the operation of the patrol
boat siren.
6. Prohibiting the Governor from
effecting a general reduction in SAL
aries without first eliminating all
salary increases involving rates in
excess of $4,000 year previously au-
thorized by him.
