the Issue of division of military

West Coast Jap
Curfew Sustained
By Supreme Court
WASHINGTON, June 21 fP) The supreme court julcd
unanimously todoy that in time of threatened danger requiring
prompt action, a military commander may impose a curfew upon
all persons of Japanese ancestry, including American citizens.
Chief Justice Stone, who delivered the opinion, asserted that
a west coast curfew had been imposed to protect the United
States from sabotage after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
"Like every military control of the population of a dangerous
zone In war time," tho chief Justice wrote, "it necessarily in
volves some infringement of individual liberty, just as does the
police establishment of fire
lines during a fire, or the con
flncment of people to their
houses during an air raid alarm
neither of which could be
thought to be an infringement of
constitutional right."
Distinctions Odlus
"Distinctions between citizens
solely because of their ancestry,"
Stone said "are by their very na
ture odious to a free people
whose institutions are founded
upon the doctrine of equality. . .
"We may assume that these
considerations would be control
ling here were it not for the
fact that the danger of espionage
and sabotage in time of war and
of threatened invasion, calls up
on the military authorities to
scrutinize every revelant fact
bearing on the loyalty of popu
lations in the danger areas.
Curfew Challenged .
The curfew regulations were
challenged by. two American
born persons of Japanese ances
try.
The opinion, court attaches ex.
plained, does not involve-the con
atitutlonality of action by mili
tary authorities in relocating
persons of Japanese ancestry.
Stone asserted that "in a case
of threatened danger requiring
prompt action, it is a choice be

less hardship on the many or

mitted for the coming year.
C. S. Elliot s name is the only
one appearing on the first bal

other bombers and two- fighters

in which, a communique . said,
our air losses were heavy."
On the offense, . American-
flown Liberators dropped 31
