She said she had been on all the active war fronts in China and never had known the fear of Japanese swords, but she was not quite sure whether she was afraid to face the American press with its pencils streaking across the pages of notebooks.

JAP EXCLUSION (Continued From Page One) Japanese in the case, recited the history of the laws and procla mations under which the ex clusion was carried out Another case concerning the taking of Japanese voters from the rolls will be heard later. Collins attacked the two fed eral laws as well as the procla mations made under it. Frank L. Walters, another attorney representing the Japanese, also declared the two laws were un constitutional and charged that the internment was ordered with out hearing and that there was discrimination because of race and color. Collins quoted from Lincoln's Gettysburg address that this- country was "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." He read a clip ping from a paper published at the Manzanar Japanese reloca tion center quoting President Roosevelt as saying in reference to proposal to have Japanese combat units: War Emergency "Americanism is a matter of mind or heart, not a matter of ancestry." Judge William Denman asked Collins if he was making a state ment or fact for all three cases and the attorney said yes. "But you say nothing about the war emergency,'' the judge said. Collins replied that would come up later. - Walters argued that they were really representing all ofjthe 70,000 Japanese American cit izens who were "viciously and unlawfully interned without hearing.' He said if it can be done to one minority group it could be done to Chinese, negroes, Jews and "all of us." Three Casts Three cases involving Amer ican-born Japanese convicted of violating Lieut Gen. John L. DeWitt s curfew and exclusion orders were consolidated for the hearing. Another case chal lenged the right of Japanese citizens to vote. Attacking the validity of Gen eral DeWitt's order were Minoru Yasui, 27, of Hood River, Ore.; Fred T. Korematsu, 23, of San Leandro, Calif., and Gordon Koy oshi Hirabayashi, of Seattle.

The Russian clamp laid around the Donets basin in creased the pressure on the Germans, as numerous settle ments were captured in sectors west of Novoshakhtinsk, south west of Voroshilovgrad, and in the Kramatorsk area.

Twentyone persons were also 1 listed as Injured, mostly from burns. Some were in a serious condition. Pilot Allen and his crew ap parently fought the fire In one motor, which spread to a wing and disabled the plane, for many miles in a desperate attempt to reach the home field. Watchers at Kent 20 miles south of here, reported seeing smoke pluming from an engine as it flew north ward. The fire was reported to Boeing field by radio from the plane, which was in constant communication with the field un til a moment before the crash. Allen had radioed the field to stand by for an emergency landing. Horror-stricken spectators saw three of the plane's pas sengers leap to their death, as the plane was too low for their parachutes to open. . Eugene Police Seek Dog-Hating "Gardener" EUGENE, Feb. 19 (Eu gene police were still without a clue today to the identity of an anonymous "gardener" who yes terday sent a letter to the Register-Guard announcing a "declar ation of war on dogs." The letter, written in a meticu lous hand, said: "We have put up for years now with people's dogs destroying our flowers and shrubs. But it is going to be different this year as it is about time to put in our war gardens. So we have declared war on all dogs, regardless of size, color, or who owns them." The letter was received the day after the- Lane County Hu mane society offered a $100 re ward for the apprehension of a dog-poisoner who has been spreading strychnine-filled mor sels of meat and bread, thus far taking the lives of six dogs.

Resting on a rock, he observed cheerfully, "We came through with all our men and with no trouble but sore feet." The withdrawal was orderly and without any signs of panic. It began two nights ago and continued as American tank, ar tillery and Infantry forcos held the Germans from a major break through. These outfits then withdrew themselves, still en gaging the enemy. The removal at Sbeltla went on as scheduled, despite the fact that German artillery shelled the town during the night and their tanks made a futile two-hour push beginning at 2 a. m., to seize the town under cover of .darkness. By dawn they still had a fight on their hands before entering. All allied planes at Thelepte airfield, long a sore spot to the German ground forces as well as to nazl fliers, wore safely flown away and the French and Ameri can forces stationed at nearby Feriana marched Into the ad joining hills without hurry, leav ing a company of light tanks to guard the rear. French pack trains wound slowly across the plains, the mules and men loaded with equipment.
