Legal Action Threatens Over Army Order

A topic of interest to many of the residents of Kodiak is the Ecceat decision of the Alaska Defense Command to evacuate some of the wives of soldiers stationed on Kodiak Island.
 In some instances the wives have emphatically stated that they will not leave the Territory pursuant to orders directing them to leave. Some state that they have no home in the States to which to go and that they came to Alaska with the inten- tion of making their home here.
 A few have retained legal counsel to fight evacuation pro- eeedings. A member of the firm | of Taylor and Seltzer, local ate torneys, in commenting on the evacuation order stated, "Such an order, if put into effect, is 8 clear violation of the rights of these wives as guaranteed by the Constitution. In most of the in- stances brought to our attention |t |the husbands and wives affected are to our belief bona fide resi- dents of the Territory.
 "There is no doubt that legal action will be taken to protect the constitutional rights of these zOmen".
 It is reported on good author Ety that an injunction will be sought from Judge Simon Helen Ehal. due here today with the floating court, to prevent en- orcement of the deportation order.
