U. 5. Employment Unit
Accused Of Recruiting
For Virginia Unions
Dorden Says Agency
Exploits Workers on
Army Camp Project
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, March 25.-
Gov. Darden said last night that
only persons who join unions were
permitted to work at the Blackstone
Army cantonment project, and that
the United States Employment
Service was acting as a recruiting
office for the interested unions"
In statement based on infor-
nation received from Blackstone
yesterday, the Governor said the
employment arrangement in effect
at the cantonment did not con-
stitute preferential shop as was
contemplated by the original con-
tract and charged that the Federal
Employment Service, by its action,
was exploiting and depressing the
very people it was designed to
serve"
Governor to Take Action.
He said the service takes job ap-
plications and refers them, not to
the employers, but to the unions,
and that If an individual joins the
union he gets job and if he does
not he is not allowed to work,
even though his services may be
needed"
The use of the employment serv-
ice at Blackstone, Gov. Darden de-
clared, lis an unconscionable pros
tltution of the purposes for which
1t was brought into being"
The Governor announced he would
take whatever steps possible ito pro-
tect the rights of those involved"
Assembly Assailed Practice.
The Virginia General Assembly
adopted resolution condemning any
regulation or practice which makes
membership in union prerequisite
to obtaining work at an Army camp
construction project.
Sidney Hillman of the War Pro-
duction Board wrote Representative
Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia in
February that a preferential shop
arrangement at the camp in South
ern Virginia was in accord with
long established labor management
practice in the building trades" and
that If the union could not furnish
all workers required, then the con-
tractor could recruit additional work
ers in any way he chose.
Frank A. Cavedo, director of the
United States Employment Service
in Virginia. refused to comment on
the Governors statement.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-
Cameras have been banned from his
toric Telegraph Hill, where signals
once were wigwagged to sailing ships.
The hill affords a panoramic view of
San Francisco Bay.
Chief of Police Charles Dullea,
who issued the order. said he acted
on his initiative.
Evening star., 1942-03-25

The fourth, sixth, seventh, eighth,
ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth
police precincts said they could not
hear the signal and fifth precinct
officers said they heard 1t only
family"
The second and third precincts
downtown heard the horn, but the
desk man at the first precinct said
he didn't hear it.
Heard in Soundproof Studio.
One of the seven alarms sounded
during the test was heard in sound
proof inner studios of the National
Broadcasting Co., in the Trans-Lux
Building. The building is only a
block away from the Capitol Garage,
but an N. B. C. official pointed out
that none of the alarms sounded
during yesterdays test of 38 elec-
trio sirens had been heard in the
studios.
Early this afternoon representa-
tives from local civilian defense or
ganizations of the Sd Corps Area
were scheduled to gather in the office
of Civilian Defense Co-ordinator
Young at the District Building to
discuss potentialities Of the horn
and plans for its manufacture. Dele
cations from several States were
to be present at the meeting.
Today's demonstration was under
the direction of E. j. Abbott. direc-
tor of the o. C. D. unit on air raid
devices.
Col Bolles termed yesterdays test
"a moderate success" baSing his
opinion on a report from two-thirds
of the fire stations that they had
heard the electric sirens, and Chief
Air Raid Warden Clement Murphy
reported that lit was a good start,
but must be improved"
Capt. H. A. Friede, chief of COM
munications, who made a circuit of
the city during the test, said the
demonstration was very good and
that its results had exceeded his eX-
pectations He pointed out that the
80 sirens were only a part of the to-
tai to be installed here, but said they
will serve the city adequately
enough" until the additional equip
ment can be installed.
The alarm from the widely scat
tered sirens appears to have COW
cred all of the District and to
have been heard at points in Mary
land more than miles from the
Capitol, according to actual check
by telephone. but did not extend
far into Virginia. Capt. Friede said
he was not surprised to learn that
the signal had not carried for any
appreciable distance south of the
Potomac River and explained thai,
as no sirens had been installed in
that area, ability of people living
in Arlington and Alexandria to
heard the sound would depend alto
gether upon wind and other conGi-
tions.
Favors Many Smaller Units.
Capt. Friede attributed the sue
cess of the test to centralized con-
troll and simultaneous operation of
the sirens. He said the tryout had
convinced him that multiplicity
of smaller units would do better
job than a large siren at central
location, as in the case of the siren
tested today.
Mr.. Lands said the horn tested to-
day had been developed for the Office
of Civilian Defense by the National
Defense Research Committee. The
device, he said, is designed to give
wide coverage at less cost and to
conserve material needed for war
production. 1t already has been

Aid To Chino Important

For five years now China has managed to
survive Japanese aggression and continue to
fight. Her courage has earned her the res
pect and admiration, if not love, of decent
people everywhere.
Present indications are that the Japs are
aiming now for a complete Knockout Of
China so that they may open another front
against Russia.
Sources close to the Chang Kai-Shek
command note the Thousand plane" bomb
ing of European invasion bases and beg Am
erica for ''just a hundred planes'-so that
she might stay in the war.
Those persons directing the U. S.. military
strategy might know what they are doing
when they apparently presume that aid to
Europe is even more important than aid 10
China when they apparently believe that
if we whip Hitler in Europe our battle with
Japan will be only a matter of a little while.
Regardless of the importance of the Rus
sian fight against Hitler it is equally inn
portant that China stay in the war - for
the only close bombing and invasion bases
against Japan's major supply lines and ag-
ainst Japan proper are in China. The best
defense against ar enemy attack on us is
American use of Chinese air bases. Only if

Alaskan bases can we the Pacific

Our CoIored Population

The following message was handed to the
editor Of this paper by Prof. G. w. Williams,
head of the Holmes County Training School,,
q school for negroes. The spirit it contains,
we believe, is pretty typical Of our good col
ored population here in the south. 1t is
worth reading by every white citizen of our
community:
I'VE DID IT BEFORE WE CAN
DO 1T AGAIN"
During the World War no. ! as in all other
wars fought by the Americans Revolutionary
or Civil, it has been ours as Negroes to play
our part During the Civil war he gave his
blood on both sides. Those who did not fight
took care of the homes of their masters and
mistresses. Thus women, children and things
were safe in their care. The corn and cotton
fields yielded their abundant increase from
their strong and willing muscles. On Boston
Commons a monument to Crio San Juan Hill
can never forget. "ThereIl be a hot time in
the old town tonight" They did it then.
twenty-five years ago the Negroes played
a part on Flanders Field, on No Mans Land,
in Argonne Forest, and everywhere his voice
mingled with that of his fellow Americans in
white, I'VE won't come back till its over,
over there" The Negroes, fifteen million
strong, are willing and should be, to play
their part in this the greatest struggle this
country has ever witnessed. Those of US who
may not be called to arms have a very def
mite part we can play and we must play.

to the best of our ability! Keep our eyes open
and report everybody hat comes in with any
sabotaging doctrine"

One would think the New York
Worlds Fair to be a thing of the
past. But if you drop in at As Beaver
Street here, you will notice a sign
on a door saying, New York Worlds
Fair" Although the great exhibition
officially closed in 1910, it apparent
ly is not yet over Wondering what
goes on behind this door, l made in
quiry and found tina, the fair was no
fly-by-night business. 1t seems that
there were endless legal matters,
debts, accounts and former employees
who wanted jobs, all constituting a
large amount of unfinished talks for
the Fair authorities. This lone re-
naming office is composed of two
men and some st~enographers who
are making an, effort to wind up the
World of Tomorrow's" yesterday.
To those of us who remember the
fun and excitement Of the Worlds
Fair, this sign on the door drings
fond memories; recollections OF
happy, leisurely days when n stroll
led languidly along the wide ave-
nues Of the exposition and drank in
the wholesome festivity of a great
| city on celebration in a democracy
at peace. Some people apparently
won't believe yet the fair is over;
for the Beaver Street office still
gets telephone calls from persons
asking what time this year the Fair
is going to open.
Such a carry-over reminds me of
something that happened when l was
a boy, working in a small store back
in the mountains down South. One
day a crowd Of the usual old-timers
were sitting around the heating stove
Of the store, chewing tobacco and
passing the customary yarns. In those
days, there were no radios in this
section and not all the settlers around
there subscribed to newspapers. Ii
