Norway Bishops Issue Rebuke

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (4') - A Norwegian bishops have sign ed a letter, it was disclosed, put ting it up to the government of Nazi-occupied Norway to say whether a state which regulates church affairs accepts responsib- ility for its acts.
 The document was distributed here by the Norwegian legation.
 Presenting difficulties confront ing clergymen in Norway, the letter cited these three factors which 1t said are causing anxiety and indicate that the judicial system itself is disintegrating:
 l. That acts of vio ence not on ly are not prevented, but are en- couraged.
 ?. That the whole Norwegian supreme court has resigned.
 3. That clergymen are being coerced to betray the confidence of their communicants.

EDITORIAL
4 Law For
 a k ans

A naturalized citizen finds 1t easy to get a job on an Army or Navy defense base project in Alaska. Not so the citizen who was born in this country. All the naturalized citizen has to do to es tablish he is a citizen and there fore eligible for employment is to show his naturalization pa pers, which every naturalized cit Hen keeps at hand. The citizen born in America, on the other hand, is not allowed 10 work on one of these projects unless he can produce a birth certificate, and in many cases this is inn possible.
 Those born in Alaska, our own people, are particularly handicapped by this requirement, for births were not recorded systematically on this raw front fer until comparatively recently. Most native-born Alaskans are unable to prove they are citizens of the United States. Unless they can, they are not allowed to work on the Army or Navy construc- tion jobs in Alaska
 To make 1t possible for these men-Without-a-country to estab fish their rights as U s. citizens, Territorial Auditor Frank A. Boyle has sponsored and. Rep. Harvey J. Smith of Anchorage has introduced in the Legislature a bill providing for the issuance of delayed birth certificates to Al askans. The bill provides that such certificates may be obtained upon affidavits sworn to before a qualified officer. Sufficient safe guards are provided to prevent such certificates being issued to persons who are not, in fact, na- tive-born Alaskans. The affidavits must explain fully the relation ship, if any, of the person eXecut- ing the certificate 10 the child, the source of the information upon which the affidavit is bas- ed and, wherever possible, corrob oratian by two witnesses who know the facts. United States Commissioners are charged with examining carefully such delay ed certificates to see they are sufficient in form and substance.
 The bi- is a good one and there is great need for its passage at this time Alask8ns should not be deprived of the chance to work on projects in their own Territory just because they were born in a country and at a time in which, systematic processes had not developed to their pre- sent state of efficiency

Red Cross Linking Army Recruits With Families

A young draftee with imagina- tion explained it perfectly,
 It's like a bridge" he said, talking about the Red Cross. Its sort of a fast connection between camp life and the old life back home.
 And it's what I can depend on if my family gets caught in any emergency where they need me" ! The young draftee knew what he was talking about, for in his own camp he has seen the Red Cross field director verify, and get, an emergency furlough for fellow soldier called home be- cause of illness.
 It was accomplished with minimum of lost time, also. for the Red Cross director had wired directly to the Red Cross chapter in the soldiers home town for information.
 There the Red Cross worker had verified the facts, wired back to the camp-and the young sol dier was given his leave
 The Red Cross is pledged, thru its congressional chapter, to act as a Jason between service men and their families, connecting the fast-growing military popula- tion with the civilian population.
 According to the chapter, the organization is authorized to act as a Medium of communication between the people of the United States of America and their Army and Navy"
 It also furnishes volunteer aid to the sick and wounded armies in time of war"
 Red Cross service is based on three facts ," says Don C. Smith. director, Red Cross Military and Naval Welfare Service.
 He lists them as:
 l. Morale underlies all aspects of military life.
 2 Anxiety, worry and fear are productive of poor morale. 8. Anxiety, worry and fear re- tard the recovery of the sick and injured and may negate entirely medical aid in certain circum- stances.
 Red Cross directors now are on duty at all Army, Navy, Ma rine Corps stations and hospit- als in the U. S. and insular terri tories" MT Smith explains.
 Regular visits are made to Coast Guard stations also.
 Among duties of the Red Cross performed at the specific re- quest" of the War and Navy De partments, and incorporated in their regulations, MT. Smith lists:
 l. Advice on welfare matters for families.
 2. Aid to families on business problems.
 3. Obtaining reports on home conditions required by military authorities concerning discharges and furloughs.
 4. Acting as a medium of com munication between hospitals and families of men dangerously ill.
 B. Assistance to discharged, dis abled men in re-establishing themselves in civil life.
 6. Caring for relatives sum moned to government hospitals.
 Medical social service work in hospitals, and provision of recre- ational activities or convalescents are other Red Cross duties.

NOEL COWARD IS
 FINED IN COURT
British Playwright, and Author Assessed $SSO on
 War Currency Charge

London, Oct. 90 = CUP.) - Noel Coward, playwright and author, was fined $500 and $80 costs today by the Bow street court on three charges of violation of wartime currency regulations involving $57,- 847.
 The court accepted Coward's state ment that he was not aware of the currency regulations and broke the rules unintentionally.
 Coward was liable to a maximum fine of $172,248 under the charges.
 Wearing a pin stripe suit, Coward appeared in court with his solicitors who argued that records apparently had been lost in the mails from the United States.
 The prosecutors for the treasury, outlining the case, said Coward s London accountants had asserted that full statement of Coward's American holdings were mailed from the United States and seemingly were lost in transit.
 The treasury, nevertheless. claim ed that Coward illegally disbursed $57,847 whereas the maximum dol lars he would be allowed to spend in the United States, even if there on an official mission, would be $5,0OC year or total of $8,335 for the period from October, 1889, to May 1941.
 The prosecutor, F. D. Barry, said Coward went to the United States in 1940, reportedly in behalf of the ministry of information which pro- yided him with a letter to the Brit iSh ambassador.

Baldwin endorsing the administrations foreign policy, the junior senator declares in a letter to Mrs. Helen K. Cooley, president of the Greenwich Women's Republi- can Club.

 "The personel department will ad- minister it within the limits pro- vided by law in the interest of sound and efficient government. What the personnel department needs is not carping critics but friends who are sympathetic to the problems which confront it."
