Exclusion Orders
Are Challenged

New York City ULNS) .-lndivi-
dual exclusion orders issued by mill
tary authorities against japanese
Americans on the west coast have
been challenged in the Los Angeles
Federal District Court in 3 cases
argued by A. l.. Wirin and j. b. Tietz,
counsel for the Southern California
branch of the American Civil Liber-
ties Union. The attorneys asked Fed
eral Judge Pierson M. Hall for in
junction orders to restrain Western
Defense Commander General H. C.
Pratt from excluding DR.. George
Ochikubo, Elmer Yamamoto, and
Kiyoshi Shigekawa, former union
head, all at present in relocation
centerS.
The attorneys held that there was
no military necessity to warrant ex-
clusion by the army, and that the
courts and civil law enforcement
agencies were adequate to deal with
any alleged danger of sabotage or
espionage by Japanese Americans or
anyone else. Pointing out that no in
formation, charges, or hearings were
given as the basis for the exclusion
orders, the attorneys said that they
violated the constitution by depriving
the Japanese Americans of their
rights and property without "due pro-
cess of law"

Poll Tax Ruled Illegal
BY Tennessee Magistrate

Nashville, Tenn. QLNS). - Magis-
trate j. A. Sentelle at Greenvile has
ruled that collection Of a poll tax is
illegal in Tennessee and ordered re-
funding of the tax and penalty paid
by a landowner under protest.
The magistrate rendered the judg-
ment in suit by j. ID. Johnson
against County Trustee Bruce Gra-
ham and George McCanless, state
commissioner of finance and taxa
ton.
Johnson paid the poll tax under
protest. He pleaded that the levy of
a poll tax against him was unjust,
illegal and against a valid statute of
the state and the constitutions of
Tennessee and the United States.

decreases the concentration of alu-
minium powder in air. Showers are
least likely to be in operation at this
time.
Leakage of air into and out Of the
treatment chamber will dissipate sus-
pensions of aluminium powder quick
ly. 1t follows, therefore, that all win
dows, doors, and ventilators must be
kept closed during the hour or 50
that the powder is being used. In
cases where strong natural draughtS
prevail, when doors are opened and
closed, air-locks should be provided.
Dust engineers know that fans re-
move, more or less, 10 per cent of the
dust contained in the air stream. Con-
sequently, any kind of fans or unit
heaters should not be used for the
short time that the treatment is in
progress.
Pressure Necessary For Dispersal
A discharge pressure of 20 pounds
per square inch, and preferably 35
to 40 pounds, is desirable to dispense
aluminium powder by the means
earlier described; the latter pressure
corresponds to about 100 pounds line
pressure and assures the most suit
able suspensions, both with respect
to particle concentration and size.

By A. w. JACOB
Concentrations Used In SilicOsis
Prevention
After considering various factors,
it was decided that the amount of
powder to be used for prophylactic
purposes should be fiftieth by
weight of that used for therapeutic
treatment. Theoretically, this is one
gram of powder for each one thous-
and cubic feet of room content, based
on ten-minute exposure; if the lat
ter were twenty minutes, the quantity
to be dispersed would be halved.
Up to the present, satisfactory
method to determine the weight OF
powder suspended in air has not been
adopted Hence, when it is said that
the dispersal is on the basis of one
gram of powder per thousand cubic
feet of room volume, the reference
is to the weight of powder placed in
the blower, not to the weight actually
in suspension after dispersal.
The dispersal of aluminium powder
was tested in chambers ranging in
size up to $4,000 cubic feet volume.
The basis of dispersal was the pre-
viously mentioned one gram of pow
der per one thousand cubic feet, at a
discharge pressure of 40 pounds per
square inch. Under actual operating
the following typical re-
suits were obtained:
(a) The concentration of powder in
the air eight minutes after dispersal
was 10000 to $4,000 particles per
cubic centimeter.
(b) The concentration of powder in
the air sixty minutes after dispersal
had decreased by 40 to 45 per cent.
The Canadian Institute of Mining
And Metallurgy
The foregoing studies were supple
mented by the examination of ther-
NAL precipitation records with the
electron microscope.
1t is clear, therefore, that this
powder, when suitably dis
persed, will result in suspension ad
suited to slicosis prevention.
Application of Aluminium

Having obtained method of
aluminium powder for
and a way to disperse it
consideration was given
TO mass treatment.
1t was decided that aluminium
should be dispersed on the previous
ly mentioned basis in the change
house, while the men were donning
their underground clothes. The rea-
sons for this decision were:
CD The men had to be in this room
a certain length of time prior to each
shift.
(2) A special treatment room
would require constant supervision,
would disrupt hosting schedules, and
would not be used by late-comers.
(3) Aluminium prophylaxis in the
dryhouse would become a part of the
mems daily routine without any in
to them.
Dispersal of aluminium prior to,
rather than after, the shift was
selected for the following reasons:
(D People generally take longer to
put on than to take off their clothes.

imprisoned.
"After watching hundreds Of thous-
ands of these messages flow through
my office" the General added, 81 can
not escape the conclusion that the
amount of available supplies is one
of the most important single factors
in determining the number of casual
ties"
Warns of "Any Faltering"
Saying that on some occasions the
Army has been criticized for delays
in taking the initiative, Gen. Ulio
reiterated the Army's objective Of
paying for victories with material
rather than lives. "For that reason"
he said, "our whole world strategy
has been geared to the speed of our
production here at home, and we have
set production records which have
amazed the world"
Speaking OF present production,
eve are at the present time facing
critical problems" he continued "We
are right now at a point when any re-

operations abroad. Any faltering in
our output can have only one result;
prolongation Of the war and need
less sacrifice of American lives. That
is why our procurement schedules
for 1915 have been increased 1879 per-
cent over what we received during
1914"
See Tough Pacific War
The production problem becomes
more difficult as victory after victory
is reported, Ulio explained, because
manpower becomes more difficult to
get, and retain, in war plants. "The
one thing which almost everybody
seems TO overlook" he warned, sis
that we are winning our victories at
the cost of astronomical amounts of
supplies and equipment Some items
are so critical that they have to be
rushed directly from factory to firing
line by high priority transportation.
We have no huge stockpiles from
which we can draw and our en-
tire production machinery must be
kept rolling at full speed to replace
the material we are expending."
Gen. Ulio spoke gloomily of the flu
ture prospects in the war with the
Japs. "You don't hear any talk OF an
easy victory from the soldiers who
are fighting the Japs or the military
leaders charged with the response
bility Of the Pacific war" he said.
Japan has an Army of between A.
000,0 900 and 100000 troops, most Of
whom are being held in reserve to
defend the Chinese coast and the
japanese home islands," Even though
we have invaded the Philippines and
Two Jima, the general pointed out,
we still have not met any major mill
tary force such as we have been up
against in Europe. We have only done
enough fighting to know that vic
tories in the Pacific will DO savage
and expensive.
Praises lam Efforts
Ending his address, Ulio commend
ed the members of international As
sociation of Machinsts for their tre
mendous output Of war production
and their enviable record in avoiding
strikes. Specifically, he paid tribute
to their part in building B-29 Super
fortresses, BIT medium bombers,
P-38 and the new P-SO fighters, and
millions Of rounds Of artillery and
mortar ammunition.

Navy SWears
in First Nurse

Washington, D. C. (NNPA)-
The Navy has it's first Negro
Nurse.
She is Miss Phyllis Mae Daley,
R. N, of New York City, who was
sworn in at the Office of Naval
Procurement, Third Naval District,
in New York on last Thursday. She
has been commissioned as an en-
sign.
Miss Daley is Is years old, and
a graduate of Lincoln Hospital
School for Nurses in 1871. After
her graduation, she worked at the
Lincoln Hospital and Home, and
at the New York Department of
Health as public health nurse.
Immediately prior to her enlist
ment and acceptance, she was tax
ing course in public health nurs-
ing at Teachers College, Columbia
University.
The commissioning of Miss Daley
eliminates long fight against the
discriminatory practice of the Navy
in excluding Negroes from its
Nurse corps. Only a few weeks ago
did the Navy issue statement that
it was not its policy to discrimi-
nate because of race.

Legion
Policy in Seven
States Attacked

New York-The American Le-
gion's membership practices with
respect to Negro veterans were
seriously questioned this week by
the National Urban League. julius
A. Thomas, Director of Industrial
Relations for the League, said the
exclusion of Negro veterans in
some states and the lack of partici-
patton by Negro members in the
Legion's program for aiding vet
Grams had left Negroes without
voice in many important decisions
regarding policies formulated by
the Veterans Administration.
ut is an accepted policy of the
Veterans Administration" Thomas
said, "to consult American Legion
officials at both national and local
levels on such matters as person.
mel and services required to imple-
ment its program. But there is lit
tie evidence that Negro veterans
of World War I or World War II
have had any part in shaping up
to this point"
In seven Southern states, the
League official declared, Negroes
are not accepted for membership
nor are they permitted to organize
Jim Crow posts. Except for one
post at the Veterans Facility at
Tuskegee, there are no Negro posts
in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas,
and Alabama. In some of these
states, Negro veterans have organ
lied independent associations which
are in no way identified with the
Legion. In South Carolina, an ap-
plication to affiliate an organization
of Negro veterans of two world
wars was recently turned down by
the Department of South Carolina.
To forestall repetition of the ex-
periences following the first World
War, Thomas said, the League had
requested the Legion to take steps
to correct this situation.
