 Just after. Pearl Harbor, the War Department issued an or- der removing all Japanese from defense work in Hawaii. How ever, new commander Gen. Deios Elnmons protested: You o can't do that. You don't know how many latheS you are stopping"
 In the end he proved to be right. The Japanese were found to be essential to defense work, and the order was rescinded.
 Japanese are now used in digging ditches to break up pos sible landing fields: building roads, and they even work in arsenals producing guns. Suspicious Jap anese have been picked up. But it Is impossible to test the loyalty of others. However, to get the vital defense work done in a hurry the War Department is convinced there is no other cut than to use Jap labor.
 Furthermore the alternative of depOrting Hawaii's huge Japanese population would be a tremendous job. They can't be shipped to California. And they can't be sent to a separate island, where they might estab- fish a landing base for Japanese attack. So the present solution is to leave them where they are, carefully guarded.
 Meanwhile, Pearl Harbor is on the alert with more protective devices than ever before in history. Every hour of the day and night patrol planes SCOUT the air around the islands. No fleet, either by sea or air, could approach Ha- waii undetected.
 TROUBLE AHEAD
 The day after Leon Henderson issued his sweeping price freeZ- ing order, the President asked him How are you getting On?"
 Well, I'd put it this way" said Henderson with a grin. "I feel like the boy who threw a rock through a window and is sure something is bound to hap pen."
 HILLNIAN IS THROUGH
 He hasn't announced it yet, but former war labor chief Sid- ney Hillman has definitely decided not to take the White House staff job offered him by the Presi- dent.
 The announcement of the ap- pointment implied Hillman had accepted ii. Inside fact is he hasn't, and the statement appar- .ently was Worded as if he had in order to pressure Hillman into agreeing. He is still reclperating from exhaustion due to his pro- longed strenuous work as a top war official, but when he leaves the hospital he will not go back to the government.
 Hillman will resume the presi- dency of the powerful Analga- mated Clothing Workers, and then will embark on a triple.headed campaign to:
