A BIG JOB

When total war hits nation it means far more than steel and aluminium, airplanes and tanks ma chine tools and auto industry conversion It means hard work and sacrifice the part of anyone farmers and the people who make civilian goods as much as those who work in the more spectacular war industries The and women who man the civilian front have the task of supplying the Ameri- can people, well a large part of the rest of the world with necessary food and clothing. Theirs is the task keeping the best-fed and best-equipped army in the word-an evergrowing U. s. Army-in the field And that is easy task in these days of scarcities-scarcity of materials scarcity of
 labor and scarcity of time Theirs is really an enor nous job for the average American in the Army needs almost double the food and clothing he gets in civilian life. The average male civilian in this coun- try eats 125 pounds of meat year The soldier gets 36O pounds. The civilian drinks 150 pounds of milk but the soldier drinks 210 pounds The civilian two pairs of shoes year, the soldier three. The civilian gets pair of trousers, the soldier five These manufacturers and producers of "non-esse tal" goods making it their job to to it that the civilian populaton-millons of whom man. ming the production frontdo not suffer for want of essential food and clothing and that soldiers have the highest quality of everything necessary to make them the strongest army ever known

DUTCH HARBOR

According to all available dispatches received by The Empire on the Japanese attacks on Dutch Har- Dor yesterday the initial raid no surprise Our forces were on the alert and apparently because of this little damage was caused by the attack.
 It isn't an easy thing to keep soldiers and sailors on their toes for such raid especially after months filled with report after report that the Japs were on the way. It's the old story of the shepherd boy who shouted wolf when there wolf; and when the wolf did the boy didn't get any help.
 Undoubtedly Jap radio announcers last night crowed for hours after this minor assault Undoubt- edy the Japanese people were talked into believing that terrific blow had been struck at America, in retaliation for the American bombing of Tokyo.
 We know this isn't so. We know that few warehouses were set afire yes and that few people were killed But if the Jap attack on Dutch Harbor was made also for the purpose of frightening the civilian population in the Territory and the Pacific Coast states we don't think it worked.
 We know that it didn't actually terrorize any Alaskans that we talked to yesterday. Alaskans are pretty tough to terrorize
 They're even hard to make nervous.
 barber in Juneau was shipping the locks from a patrons pate yesterday afternoon when he heard the first news of the attack on Dutch Harbor "Is that SOP" said the barber, and he went cutting hair without missing a stroke and his hand was just steady.
 Two Juneau women walking up the street Said one: Did you hear that Dutch Harbor was bombed? It's in the paper"
 Said the other: My goodness, is that so? My that's a pretty dress you have Did you make it yourself?"
 As long as this attitude prevails among Alaskans in the face of an attack on Alaska we're going to be better off for it.

Despite all these activities. Felix manages to spend some time at the Supreme Court; though his rela- tions there are not the happiest His closest friend, strangely enough, is the Courts only remaining con- servative, Owen Roberts, who has be- come especially intimate since F'rankfurter got him the Pearl Har- bor assignment.
 Frankfurter also gets on reasoa- ably well with Stone, whose ap- continent as Chief Justice he en- gineered with Roosevelt. He is also on good terms with Justice Jack son. who would like to be chief justice after Stone retires, and is fully aware that Felix could help get the position for him. ~

Hitler, Enemy of Religion
Philadelphia Record)

Michael Cardinal Faulhaber, militant leader of the religious opposition in Germany, has given the world additional proof that Hitler is the enemy not only of churches that oppose him, but of all ligion.
 The Cardinals warning to the believers of the world is contained in eleven point indictment of the church situation in Germany sent to the Vatican News of the indictment rickled through Italian cen- sorship to correspondents in Switzerland.
 Cardinal von Fauhaber declared that "veritabe war against Christianity" is being waged in the Reich.
 He cited case after case of Hiter's warfare on religon-arrests of bishops priests to prevent read ing of episcopal documents from the pulpit moral blackmair applied to Catholics to discourage their church attendance attacks religious instruction for children suppression of religious textbooks and other publications, seizure of church property.
 And he warned:
 Today it is question of life or death for Chris tanity.'
 The Cardinals indictment is striking confirma- had blueprint for abolshing the Christian religion
 The blueprint contained in book called "Cott und Vok" God and Nation> widely circulated among Nazi elite. It declared: We Germans have been called by fate be the first to break with Chris tianity"
 The Nazis are putting their blueprint into op- eration
 There can be no freedom of religion any other freedom in the world so long Nazsm lives.

UNCLE INTERNED BY HITLER


 In addition to all reasons for being jealous about the war, Frank furter has special, personal in- centives. He was born in Vienna a country taken in one gulp by Hitler. And when he swallowed it, Hitler threw Frankfurter's aged uncle into a concentration camp These factors, plus the persecution of his race, long before Pearl Har- bor made Frankfuuter one of the most energetic and effective pro motors of intervention.
 Several times his friends have suggested that a Supreme Court justice should not meddle in the executive branch of the govern ment; that the Constitution created the judiciary as a check on the ex- ecutive, not collaborator; that he should not be quite so open in dashing back and forth between the British Embassy and the War Department
 However, nothing has daunted Frankfurter. Justices Van De- vanter and Sutherland were criti- cized when they were consulted re- garding Republican politics in Wy oming and Utah. But the blithe- some, passionate, tireless MT Frank furter considers himself in a diff ferent category.
