Call Cards
On Hitler
BY JOSEPH w. GRIGG

United Press Staff Correspondent
London, Aug. 26-CUP)-Compe-
tent quarters believed today that
year Of reverses had obliged Adolf
Hitler to surrender to his army
command the major responsibility
for the conduct of military opera
lions.
An analysis Of internal develop
ments of major significance taking
place in Germany within recent
weeks led to the conclusion that Hit
Ter had reached an agreement with
the military leadership on clear
cut division of responsibility be-
tween army and the Nazi party.
The apparent agreement was be-
lieved to call for the Nazi party
concentrating, by ev.ry means at
its command, however ruthless, on
prevent the home front from COL
lapsing on the pattern of 1918.
The overall objective, it appeared,
was to tighten up the German war
machine and the home front for a
no-surrender fight to the finish.
That appeared to be the explana-
ton for the recent developments,
though their scope still was some
what uncertain.
The decisions probably were taken
at the recent conference of Nazi
leaders at Hitler's headquarters.
They evidently involved a gradual
swingover to defensive strategy and
slow withdrawal Of the German
armies to hsorter defense lines,
which Hitler was believed to have
STAYED off for reasons of political
prestige.
First results of the conference
may have been the gradual fallback
in Russia and appointment of Helm
rich Himmler as interior minister
at a time when the Allied air Of
fensive is subjecting German civilian
morale to its greatest test.

Judge ButtsI In
To ockArmy
By CHARLES p. ARNOT

UNITED Press StaH Correspondent
Honolulu. Aug. 26-(UP)-Lieut.
Gen. Robert c. Richardson Jr.,
commander of the Hawaiian mill
tary department, threatened today
to Jail Federal Judge Delbert E.
Metzger if he tried to make him pay
a $1,000 contempt fine.
Metzger's only comment was:
1.-THE stars and stripes will fly over
head and the constitution will be
there when the dawn breaks.
Richardson prohibited all habeas
corpus suits in the territory and
specifically ordered Metzger's court
to halt proceedings against himself
for refusing to produce two Ameri-
cans of German extraction in court.
The penalty for violation of the
order would be $4,000 fine or five
years Imprisonment or both.
At the same time Richardson had
on file a notice of appeal to the
ninth circuit court of appeals in
San Francisco to settle the legal
dispute over whether civil or mill
tary authority is paramount in the
territory.
Richardson's official pronounce
ment explained the action was
necessary to Safeguard this COM
munity in time of war" Any judge
attempting to interfere with the
commanding general Of the Ha-
waiian department or any member
of the armed forces" will be subject
to action before the military provost
marshal, he said.
The original case arose in Metz
gers court where the two Americans
informed after Pearl Harbor by the
military brought habeas corpus pro-
ceedings contending they were held
unlawfully.
Metzger issued writs on Richardson
ordering him to produce them in
court and held that military suspen-
sion of the right of habeas corpus
had been voided by restoration of
other civil rights in the islands last
March when martial law, imposed
after Pearl Harbor, was partly
lifted.
Richardson refused. Yesterday
Metzger declared the general was in
open notorious disregard" Of the
court and fined him 5000 for con-
tempt.
Immediately District Attorney
Angus M. Taylor, representing
Richardson, filed the generals order
naming Metzger specifically and
gave notice of appeal. Richardson
made clear that court actions other
than habeas corpus were not sus-
pended.
The order not only directed Metz
ger to discontinue the current ha-
beas corpus action but stop "any
matter action or proceedings aris-
ing out of, related to or in any way
connected with it. This included
the contempt charge.

fighting fit.
Actually Lord Woolton and his associates
accomplished the job so equitably that every
one is sure to get fair share of all essentials
at a fair price. This has meant numberless
reforms in distribution 50 that now food is
distributed equitably among zones and within
those zones. An besic essentials, like meat
and tea are rationod. Every British sub
iect has kind of bank account with the
nation. The coupons in his ration book
assure him of his share of essentials.
Only those essentials of which there is
ample supply are rationed. Many other items
are distributed by means of the ingenious
British points system.
Lord Woolton went on:
Men and women workers need plenty OF
