Police On Alert For

While the federal ban on "unes-

as an example the accident in West
Hartford Sunday when two children
were struck and injured.

HIGH COURT OKAYS
JAP CONVICTIONS

Washington, June 22-CUP)-The
supreme court has upheld the con-
victions of Gordon K. Hirabayashi
and Minoru Yasui, American citi-
zens of Japanese descent, for violat-
ing evacuation and curfeW orders
of the U. S. Army.
The decision was delivered by
Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone on
behalf of an unanimous court. 1t
appeared to uphold fully the emer-
gency power of the U. S. military
commanders to evacuate, or other
wise restrict the activities of per-
sons whose presence in defense
zones they consider detrimental to
the war effort.
Stone warned, however, that the
court must guard carefully against
misuse of such power, and that
when the danger is past the re-
strictions imposed on them should
be promptly removed and their free
dom of action fully restored"
Hirabayashi, of Seattle, and Yasui,
of Portland, were convicted of vio-
lating orders issued by Lieut.. Gen.
John L. Dewitt, commandment of
the western defense command. The
orders established strict control
over movements of Japanese and
Japanese descendants, and provided
for evacuation of the Pacific coasts
10000 japanese to relocation
camps.
Stone said the charges against
Hirabayashi of disobeying the cur
few had no constitutional infirm-
ity."
In the case of Yasui-who received
a sentence of one year imprison-
ment and a $4,000 limestone Or
dered that he be re-sentenced, how
ever. Hirabayashi was sentenced to
only three months imprisonment,
but the heavier penalty was ordered
against Yasui on grounds he had
lost his American citizenship by
reason of several trips back to
Japan and other factors.

Local Youths
Found Living
In Automobile

Two brothers, Edward Scan
Ion, 20, and Robert, Is, who
for more than a week had been
living in an automobile, were
brought into municipal court
this morning charged techni-
cally with vagrancy and falsi-
flying an automobile registra-
ton.
Probation Officer Stephen
HOmick told the court that the
boys parents were unable to
make home for them, and
that the boys had grown de-
spOndent and had bought an
automobile, not to drive, but to
live in.
A continuance of the case to
June 80 was granted the boys
on the understanding that they
go to work and lead regular
lives. Frank johnson, mana
ger OF the Boys club, offered
to provide a room there for the
boys, and will make a recon-
mendation to the court next
week.

tense, that of evading responsibility,
rather than obey the normal Inn
pulse which would be to stop and
ascertain what he could do to assist
the injured children"
Commissioner Mccarthy pointed
out that his department anticipates
also an increase in child-pedestriar
traffic accidents during the summer
months because so many families
will have to remain at home, with
the result that children will use the
streets for a playground. He sug-
gested that municipal authorities In
the larger communities would have
to plan to provide reasonable safety
for children by setting aside more
street space, where practicable, foT

OPEN HEARING ON

Electrical Workers, Con.
tractors Invited to Alder.
manic Session July II .

July IL, Is the date set aside to
hear what the journeymen electri-
clans, electrical contractors and
proposed electrical ordinance, 1t was
decided at last nights meeting Of
the Board of Aldermen. Reason fol
the determent was that too much
confusion resulted among the con-
cerned just before last nights meet
ing convened.
The most strongly opposed item
was the Interpretation Of the terms
of the ordinance. Edward P. Con-
Ian, business agent of the electri-
clans Union, said that the ordi-
nance's definition of apprentices and
journeymen was such that jour-
neyman, by taking out journey
mans license at a fee of IS could
hire 10 or more apprentices, who
would not be licensed, to do most
of the work. He also added that the
union is waiting for report from its
international headquarters, to which
was sent copy of the newly pro-
posed ordinance. If the international
headquarters rejects it, so will the
union
Opposition was also raised by
smaller factories who didn't like
the idea in a certain clause which
declared that they must have cleo
trical engineers of all electrical work
in their plants, requires all their
electricians to have licenses from
the city electrical inspector, and
gives the electrical inspector power
over the electrical work in the
plants and make inspections, which
power he does not now possess.

duced low one, declarer played

South then laid his hand on the

South luffed. but later had to fall
back on the finesse of dummys club

game. 1t was a short lived hope.
1t is surprising that only one West
was alert enough to make the club
shift. The fall of Souths jack on
the second heart lead, plus East's
failure to high-low proved that
South had only two hearts. To
beat the contract, therefore, East
must hold the club king jack, or the

Uncle Roy's Corner

Many nations have soldiers fight
ing in the battle for Tunisia. On
the one side we have troops of Ger
many and Italy. On the other side
are forces of the United Nations.
Next to Egypt, Tunisia is the most
important part of Northern Africa.
1t is only 100 miles from Sicily, and
Sicily is close to Italy.
Tunisia's history stretches back
many centuries. In ancient times.
before the region had the name of
Tunlsia, it contained Carthage. That
city had its center only a. few miles
from Tunis, capital of Tunisia.
The exact year of the founding
OF Carthage is unknown, but the
event took place about 1890 years
ago. Sailors and settlers from the
Evening star., 1943-03-29

eastern end of the Mediterranean
settled at the spot, and it kept
growing as the years went by.
The settlers had come from the
country which the Romans called
"Phoenicia The ancient Hebrews
called it Canaan"
Within three centuries after It
was founded, Carthage had power
over a number of islands, as we'll
as over some land in Northern
Africa. Among the islands ruled
by Carthage were Sardinia, Corsica,
Malta and a part of Sicily.
The people of Carthage were
largely sailors and merchants. Their
vessels sailed far and wide over
the sea, taking goods to and from
Spain and other parts of Southern
Europe
The names of some of the leaders
OF Carthage give hint of the re-
ligion. Two generals were named
Hasdrubal and Hannibal. The mean
mig of "Hadrubal" is "one who
trusts in Baal." Hannibal means
favored by Baal."
Baal was Worshiped as an i'm
portant god. He was said to rule
"the bright sun of day"
Another god was supposed to have
a cruel nature. He was known as
Moloch, and children sometimes
were offered to him as sacrifice.
In Carthage you surely would have
been told about Melkart. He was
the chief deity of the city, and seems
to have taken the place of both Baal
and Moloch. The people described
him as having the powers which
their ancestors had said belonged
to both of the two older gods.
A goddess known as Tanith was
the chief goddess. She was said to
guard over love, marriage and war.

Axis Reports Allies
Massing for 2-Way
Invasion Of Europe
Puris Radio Stresses
Dispatches Telling Of
Worships at GibroItur

LONDON, Sept. I'm a series
OF nervous broadcasts, Axis radio
commentators declared today
the Allies were massing vast in
vasion armadas both in the Med
iterranean and in Britain for
wodirectional continental as
sault which might be sprung at
any moment.
Whether based on fact or fancy,
or in the hopes of cleaning in
formation on Allied plans, the sud-
den squirt in the enemy's invasion
speculation betrayed his uneasiness
over what the immediate future will
bring.
The Nazi-controlled Paris radio
gave considerable attention to re-
ports from La Linea, Spain, telling
OF the presence at Gibraltar of
2 battleships, four aircraft carriers,
20 cruisers, 48 destroyers and IS
merchantmen.
Move Across Channel Seen.
At the same time military COM
mentator of the German news
agency, DNB. asserted in a Berlin
broadcast that 1T cannot be denied
that the Anglo-Saxons have sue
ceeded in assembling a great flo
tilla consisting of transport and
landing craft for their plans in the
Mediterranean
In another broadcast the Paris
station said second amphibious
force was assembling in Britain and
that The moment is approaching
when an Anglo-American invasion
armada will cross the Channel and
disembark its armies on the French
coast"
TWO gigantic armies will come to
grips in the near future" the broad
cast said, "and Frenchmen will wit
ness far more vicious battles than
anything experienced in 1910. Allied
air attacks on French towns have
only been a foretaste of things to
come"
Troops Being Withdrawn.
Earlier, Berlin came out for the
f1rst time with an assertion that
German troops were being with
drawn from the Russian front to
meet the Allied invasion threat in
the Mediterranean and Western
Europe.
This appeared to be more of an
attempt to discourage Allied inva-
sion plans, for the best information
IN London was that instead of re-
lnforclng troops in Western Europe
the Germans may we'll have been
dlvertlng them from France and the
Low Countries to Italy, Denmark
and the Balkans.
