TREASURY FLAG
FOR BRISTOL CO.
Employees Oversubscribed
Quota in Fourth War
Loan Drive

Employees of the Bristol Company
have topped their $1O1,25O Fourth
War Loan quota, thereby earning
the Treasury Star for the T flag, it
was announced today by Eric G.
Gabrielson, chairman of the en-
ployes War Savings Bond commit
tee.
Although the Fourth War Loan
has already officially ended for the
general public, it continues until the
end of February for industrial plants
according to Treasury department
rules.
Seven employees purchased $1,000
bonds and were allowed to blow the
factory whistle and indicate their
department by the number of blasts.
The campaign also resulted in
many substantial payroll allotment
increases which are expected to
bring the already high overall al
lotment average up over 1870.
Highlights of the Fourth War Loan
campaign at the Bristol Company
included talk given by William ".
Hawkes., of the Waterbury war fl
nance committee, to the depart
mental solicitors and plant visit
by Seaman Domenic Izzi and Lieut..
Comdr. Brendel. 1.-THE achievement
of the SOL $50 cash quota is then
more notable because of the fact
that Bristol employees have consist
emily allotted large portions OF their
nay for war bond purchase during
the past sixteen months" "Mr.
Gabrielson said when he announced
that the quota had been reached"
Following is a list of overall allot-
ment averages for each Of the
months since the Treasury T flag
was awarded in November of 1912.

In Acts Against U. 5. Japs
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 81
Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President, said yesterday the
f1areup of "racism' against the
California born japanese was "a far
greater danger to American liberty
in general than to the Japanese
Americans in particular"
In club talk, Mr. Thomas said:
President Roosevelt's order of
February 10, 1912, the Armys actions
pursuant to it. and, the decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Gordon
Hirabayashi case, recognizing the
right Of Government officials to dis
criminate among citizens on the
ground of their racial affiliation,
constitute the purest sort of totalt-
tartan justice or injustice
What was done on the Wes.
Coast was, as Justice Murphy ad-
mitted, painfully similar in prin-
ciple to the German treatment of
the Jews"
Mr.. Thomas asserted that Cali
fornians who would oppose the re-
turn of Japanese Americans to their
California homes legally if possible,
illegally if necessary" do not be-
lieve in democracy.
And if, in addition, they support
the present California ballot law
