court decision on the question is be

Judge Asntord's decision was the
result of two suits for alleged dam

monetary relief through court lftiga

defendant companies were overrnled,
Judge Ashford holding the act to be
unconstitutional.

WASHINGTON
GETS DATA ON
GERMANS HERE

Announcement made today by fed
eral officials shows that Hawaii is
taking an active part in Uncle Sam
nationwide campaign to secure com
plete census of all male enemy aliens
now residing in the United States. To
date the local United States marshaf 5
office has forwarded to washington,
d. c., the names of 175 to 200 Germans
who reside in Hawaii and who have
been classed as alien enemies.
Internment of all German aliens has
been agitated on the mainland since
the taking Of the census began, but
this agitation does not appear
to have reached Hawaii, and District
Attorney Sc. Huber says local intern
ment is unlikely, at least for the pres
ent. Thus far the federal government
has plans for the listing of about 40O'-
coo Germans, and to just what extent
this figure will grow is not known
now. -. ,.... .s/s .-.<E .. :"
Local alien enemies began register
ing here some months ago, following
the Issuance Of instructions and warn
ings by the local federal officials.
Those who registered were given per-
mits allowing them to reside and do
business in the several restricted
areas. AS each alien enemy register
ed and filled out the permit, duplicates
were forwarded to Washington, D. c.,
where they are now on file and ready
for reference. Copies of the permits
are also kept in the office of the mar
shall, each bearing the photograph OF
the alien. Aside from this, the local
federal officials are in constant touch
with the movements of these aliens.
All German aliens in Hawaii have
also been required to secure special
permits to travel between the islands,
these being issued only when a jour-
ney is necessitated by urgent business
No information has thus far been
received by the district attorney as to
whether the provisions of the recent
presidential proclamation, barring all
aliens from zones within 100 yards of
wharVes, docks and certain other
places, will apply in Hawaii,
