IS Hawaiian Agencies
Shifted From Military
1oCiviIian Control
Martial Law and Writs
Of Hobeos Corpus Are
Still Suspended, However
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
HONOLULU, March 10.-Military
government over the Territory of
Hawaii gives way in part today to
civil government after IS months
and days-ever since the japanese
attack on Pearl Harbor.
The restoration becomes effective
formally at a ceremony in historic
1olani Palace. In the presence of a
Joint session Of the Hawaiian Lepis-
lature, Territorial Gov. I. M. Stain
back, Admiral Chester w. Nimitz
and 1t. Gen. Delos Emmons will
effect the formal transfer OF powers.
Eighteen agencies of government,
mostly emergency organizations
established under military rule, are
being restored to civilian control
Martial law, however, remains in
effect and civil writs of habeas
corpus still are suspended.
Many Functions Returned.
Functions being restored to ci-
villains include control of prices, food
rationing, hospital and medical
services, food production and dis
trlbutlon rents, transportation and
traffic except during blackout hours,
public health and sanitation, busi-
ness hours, civil and criminal Judi
clary, imports and exports within
limits prescribed by the military,
civilian mail censorship, liquor and
narcotics, schools, alien property.
garbage, banking. most civilian de-
fense activities and labor.
Adjustments in governmental
processes to allow civilians to take
control of these functions have been
worked out in the 80 days since the
proclamation was issued.
AS restoration of limited civil gov
ernment becomes effective. there is
no indication that Hawaiians are re-
laXing their vigilance. There are to
be no changes in complete blackout
and evacuation plans nor in general
readiness for any possible attack.
Such an attack, civilian as well as
military leaders continue to point
out, is still possible.
Earlier Restorati ton Recalled.
Today's restoration occurs almost
/ 100 years after another famous
/ restoration in Hawaii
1t was February 25, 1943, that Lord
George Paulet Of England, COM
manding the frigate Carysfort,
seized the Hawaiian Islands and
raised the English flag to prevent
France from gaining control of the
Pacific, On. July 81 of the same
year Admiral Thomas of the British
/ Navy repudiated the seizure and re-
stored sovereignty to Hawaii.
Gov Stainback recently said in
relation to the restoration Of civil
| control:
Il have confidence that we will
meet the challenge of these difficult
times; that we will fully demon
strate our capacity for self-govern-
ment. We shall not, we must not,
we will not fail"

VINO Moves 10 Keep
Fuel Truck Drivers,
Mechanics in Jobs
Order Also Includes All
Similarly Employed in
Essential Activities
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Manpower Commission
has instructed United States En-
ployment Service Offices they must
not transfer truck drivers and main
tenance mechanics employed by fuel
distributors to other jobs, even in
plants producing war goods.
The service also was told yesterday
to refrain from urging the transfer
to any other jobs of truck drivers
and maintenance mechanics en-
ployed by trucking companies and
garages, provided these workers are
engaged in service or essential
activities
The action to protect fuel dis
tributors from loss of their drivers
and mechanics emphasized VINO
recognition Of the Importance of
various services which are not on its
official list of essential activities.
VINO Chairman McNutt said that
while fuel distribution is not on the
essential list, action to protect dis
tributors was taken because of fue
shortages in some sections. He said
these have been aggravated by lack
of drivers and mechanics" The
essential list includes trucking
under transportation activities, anC
automobile repair, under repair anc
hand trade services. but Mr.. McNutt
said the only workers so engaged
who could be considered personally
essential were those whose specific
Jobs were related to war production
or support of the war effort"
Repair of privately-oWned cars i.
an essential activity 'if the repaired
cars are necessary to transport
workers to war jobs" Mr.. McNutt
explained, adding that on the Other
hand, the driving or repair of de.
livery trucks used "for wholesale O,
retail distribution not related to the
war effort is not an essential ac.

I WITH 7th ARMY, Sicily.-A pri-
vate and captain down on a low
Sicilian mountaintop, hidden behind
a rock.
| Far below them were the pink
roofs of San Agate beside the Med
iterranean-the relatively new, Fas-
ciSt-rebuilt town where the infantry
met some of the stiffest resistance it
encountered between San Stefano
and Messina
The two were directing artillery
fire. The private scanned the coun-
/ tryside for moving objects indicat-
ing enemy reinforcements. The
captain with C field telephone noti-
! fled the big guns in the rear
The private was looking down into
the garden of villa surrounded by
white -blossoming lemon trees lit
tie out of the town. He saw an
ammunition truck approaching
down the road A well-directed shell
might catch it just about at the villa
gate.
Pvt. Joseph Crimaldi of Cleveland
calmly communicated the informa-
ton to the captain. The shell which
fell a moment later was very we'll
aimed. 1t didn't get the truck, but
it landed squarely in the villa gar
den, raising great dust clouds which
hid the house.
Pvt. Crimaldi said nothing more
about it. Another unit of the infan-
try entered San Agate. He went on
| with his reconnaissance outfit
through the hills, and was one of
the first men to enter Messina.
But, say his comrades, it was easy
to see that there was something
wrong with the former Cleveland
department store shoe clerk. Per-
haps, they thought, he was dog
tired. The war was getting him.
The infantry pulled back out of
Messina and retraced its steps along
the coast road They halted for the
night at San Agate.
Pvt. Crimaldi, heart beating fast
and every nerve in his body jump
ing. went at once to the villa against
which he had directed the artillery
shell All the doors and windows
were blown out. The family was
there, trying to bring some order
into the wrecked confusion of their
home. They didn't recognize the
soldier at once in his American uni
form. There were gray-headed
man and woman and very old
lady.
