PROJECT DIRECTOR
MAY NOW ISSUE LEAVES
   An administrative in-
struction giving project
directors authority to is-
sue indefinite leaves under
specified circumstances,
where leave clearance has
not yet been granted, has
been announced by Project
Director James G. Lindley.
Heretofore, indefinite
leaves were granted only
after the approval of the
officials in Washington.
   All applicants must have
registered for leave clear-
ance during the special
military registration in
February and March, an-
swered "yes" to question
28 in the Army question-
naire, not have applied
for repatriation or expa-
triation, not be a Shinto
priest, and not be a pa-
roled alien.
   In addition, his appli-
cation for leave clearance
must have neither been de-
nied nor suspended by the
director in Washington.
The leave will not be
granted unless the project
director has no reasonable
ground to believe the is-
suance of indefinite leave
would interfere with the
war program or otherwise
endanger the public peace
and security.   The ap-
plicant's proposed place
of employment or residence
must not be within the
Eastern Defense command
area. No conditions shall
be attached to a leave
so issued.
Application for leave
clearance need not be made
by a dependent who has not
yet reached his 17th birthday.
   It shall be the respon-
sibility of the project
director to determine that
the applicant has employ-
ment or other means of
support at his destination,
according  to the instruct-
ion._______________________

Curfew Law
Is Questioned
WASHINGTON/DC, March 30
--The Supreme court was
asked to pass on the con-
stitutionality of a curfew
imposed on west coast enemy
aliens (this included Amer-
ican citizens of Japanese
ancestry also) by Lt. Gen.
John L. DeWitt, commanding
general of the Western De-
fense command.
   The request to the Su-
preme court was presented
in cases involving Minoru
Yasui of Portland, and
Gordon Kiyoshi Hirabayashi
of Seattle, American citi-
zens of Japanese ancestry.
   "The  question as  to
whether this exercise of
the war power can be recon-
ciled with traditional
standards of personal lib-
erty and freedom guaranteed
by the constitution is
most difficult," the Ninth
Circuit court said in its
application.
