.Bi||-5igning Session
Bars State Action in
Camp Pickett Row
Dorden Says Dispute
Is Now Apparently Up
To U. S. Government
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, March 28-
Members of the General Assembly
returned to the State Capitol today
for the one-day constructive session
with 200 bills-158 House measures
and 81 Senate bills-to be signed by
the Speaker of the House and the
Lieutenant Governor.
The bills then will 60 to Gov
Darden, who must approve them by
April Z in order for them to become
law.
Gov. Darden, who charged in q
statement Tuesday night that the
United States Employment Service
was acting as recruiting Office
for labor unions at the Army's Camp
Pickett project at Blackstone, said
last night that Attorney General A.
P. Staples had advised him the bill
signing sessions of the House and
Senate would have to be confined
to that business. This apparently
closed the door on any State action
in regard to employment practices
at the Blackstone project.
Appears Up to Government.
A study CT Virginia statutes in
dicated no violation of an existing
State law and Gov. Darden said it
appeared ito be a matter for dis
position by the Federal Govern
ment."
Meanwhile, the Governor said he
would confer with G. r. Parker, re-
gional director of the United States
Employment Service, in response to
a suggestion made by John J. Cor
son, Sd, director of the Federal Bu-
reau of Employment Security.
No date has been set for the con-
ference between the Governor and
Mr.. Parker on the conditions pre-
vailing at the s29,0OO,O00 Camp
Picket cantonment project where
some $4,000 men are employed.
In his statement the Governor
termed uses of the employment
service at the project an "uncon-
oNAoA1dbAC ~ OoClCuG4Oll VI GIlS pUI /.
pose for which it was established.
Concerned Over Criticism.
Mr.. Corson wrote Gov. Darden
that he was concerned by the Gov
ernor's criticism and was especial
ly concerned that the United States
Employment Service in Virginia
shall render every assistance in the
recruiting of labor to essential war
projects"
MIR. Corson added that he would
be equally concerned IF our efforts
are in some manner being diverted
to other ends"
Gov. Darden had asked the attor-
ney generals opinions on whether
new business could be taken up at
the constructive session and whether
any Virginia laws were applicable
to the Blackstone situation shortly
after he issued the statement
charging that the employment serv-
ice was referring workers to the
unions instead of the conractors.
This effect, the Governor said,
made the camp project closed shop
rather than the preferential union
shop provided in the construction
contract.

AUTG OWNERS
 STILL PROTEST
Delegation to Attend Police Board Meeting
 Today

Delegations Of car owners were planning to be present at meet ing of the board Of police commis- sioners late this afternoon to pro- test again against the ban on all- night parking which began Sunday. The ban was ordered by the police board under the statutory powers given 1t as the citys traffic auth ority.
 Meantime delay loomed in the scheduled conference Of the police commissioners and the board of all dermen on the subject. Aldermen of both parties said yesterday they believed the conference was to take place this afternoon but today it was said that the police board would fix a date for the joint meeting. Insistent demands by Republican aldermen led to the vote at Mon- days aldermanic meeting to take up the new regulation with the police board.
 A group cf approximately 50 motorists met last night at the home of Mrs. Francis Byrnes, PA Willow street, and voted to carry on last ditch fight agalnst the ban. Early contributions were received for a fund which will be used to take the issues to the courts If necessary. A city-wide canvass to oppose the ban IS being planned.
 City officials have held that the rule, which forb.ds street parking for more than three hours between 1 a. m. and 2 a. m, is a necessary safety measure.
