This paragraph was quoted be-
cause of its similarity to the argu-
ment of the Union official who
said that Negroes should not wish
to work at Boeing's because their
presence there would cause dissen-
sion.
Because of few protests be-
cause of their race, the Jap girls
quit their jobs in the midst of a
defense period.
If the girls had really felt pat
riotic they would have kept their
jobs.
They quit when they might have
fought to remain, when they might
have denounced emphatically their
ancestry and continued to serve
their country.
Perhaps they did not wish to
publicly denounce Japan.
Perhaps it is true that Japan
orleans are not really good Amer

Perhaps, along with the Ger

Southeast Council Urges
Anacostia Area Hospital

The urgent need for a hospital in
the Anacostia area was voiced last
night by members Of the Southeast
Council of Citizens Associations,
meeting in the Anacostia High
School.
Some members were of the opinion
that the proposed hospital should
be in the vicinity Of Nichols and
Alabama avenues Sc, but 1t was
pointed out that due to the war it
would be difficult to obtain a site
and that the matter OF priorities
must be considered. A committee
was appointed, with S. G. Deckman
as It's chairman, to look into these
obstacles and to carry the plea to
the proper authorities.
Additional policemen for No. II
police precinct were again recon-
mended by the associa ton More
police protection was stressed be-
cause OF the increase in population
In the area and the large amount of
territory which the precinct covers.
Mrs. Charles H Hagerty was
elected secretary, succeeding Mrs.
Loretta S. Landon. William J..
Smith, president, presided at the
meeting.

LATE RULINGS OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL

Judgment for fine rendered by
any court in Ohio may be sent to
the sheriff of any county in which
the defendant lives or has proper
ty. The sheriff may seize the prop
erty for payment of the fine and if
he finds no property, put him in
Jail until the fine is paid, Attorney
General Thomas J. Herbert ruled
this week in an opinion to Leo E.
Carter, Noble county prosecutor.
Mr.. Herbert quoted with approx
al, Lanning on Arrests and Prose-
cutiOn," who said: 1T is shown
how uncompromisingly the law ex-
acts it's pound of flesh and how op-
pressive it may pursue the unfor-
tunate man who fails to produce
it, the pound of flesh being the
fine.
The school district in which a
tubercular pupil resided when he
was committed to a T.. B. hospital
is liable for the expense of the ed
ucation of the child even though
the child's family moves to another
school district while the child is in
the hospital" Attorney General
Thomas j. Herbert ruled this
week in an opinion to John N.
Kiracofe, Preble county prosecutor.
The only way the original school
district would be released of the
cost would be by the child's dis
charge from the hospital as being
cured or sufficiently recovered for
such action. Upon later re-admit-
tance to the hospital, the district
from which they were re-admitted
will be liable, Mr.. Herbert ruled.
The prosecutor said that two
children from Lanier township
have been confined at Dayton hos
pital for several years although the
parent moved to another township
shortly after the children were ad-
mitted. Lanier township must pay
the bill, Mr.. Herbert said.
