The American Civil Liberties union today disputed claims of "public officials that civil liberties axe intact after a year of war," charging that Japanese evacuated from the west coast are confined to "virtual concentration camps." In a year-end review, the union said the status of civil liberties is "far better than 'in World War 1" but that the government" has yielded to special pressures in proceedings which raise grave questions as to their necessity in the conduct of the war." JAP EVACUATION SCORED The union cited the Japanese evacuation as "the most serious action" and added: "The present liberal policy of releasing as many as possible is helping in part to undo what was done." Other exceptions to claims that civil liberties are Intact, the union said, are: International censorship of oDin- ion. especially that dealing: with race discrimination; postal censorship of publications allegedly impeding the war effort without hearing or specifications in many cases, and federal prosecution for aiiegea seaiuous statements without a showing of "clear and present danger" of illegal acts.

On the favorable side, the union listed: Relative freedom of debate and criticism; lack of mob violence and persecution; removal of restrictions on Italian aliens: prosecution of peonage and investigation of lynch-ings in the South, and the fair employment practice committee's fight against racial and religious discrimination. PRESS, RADIO FREEDOM "On the whole." the union con cluded, "though the over-all picture is favorable to the maintenance of democratic liberties, particularly in ireeaom oi puouc discussion by press and radio, in the growing protection of negroes' rights and in the reasonably satisfactory adjustment of labor's claims, con stant vigilance and effort are plainly necessary to protect the rights of those minorities which In evitably suffer pressure and injus tices unaer tne tensions or war."

(4)-Who Is going to college is a question that is rapidly becoming one or the biff orob ems or wartime. With the draft lowered tb include 18 year olds, the question became, so far as vouna men are concern ed, largely one for the government rathrr than the individual to de termine.

Part of the answer already has been given in the army and navy announcements of their training programs. The rest is yet to come and may stir up a lively debate in tne new congress. Paul V. McNutt, the War Man power commissioner, gave a hint of wnat nign omciais nave in mina when he announced this week that more than 150.000 college men would get temporary draft defer ment to continue medical, engineer ing and other specialised scientific tra miner.

Eastern Area Director Reports On Accomplishments Since War Declared MANY TAKE COURSES A 10-fold Increase in the activities of Red Cross chapters in South Carolina during the first year of the war is revealed in a statement by William Carl Hunt, manager of the Eastern area. American Red Cross. Keeping pace with the nation's growing war strength, Red Cross services to the armed forces show the greatest expansion and account for more than half of an Red Cross expenses during this period, the manager notes. In addition to Red Cross service to fighting men in 31 military establishments in South Carolina, 8,082 service men or their families received aid from the home service departments of chapters in the state since December 7, 1941.

Nationally, more than 2,000,000 men in the armed forces have received help this year from the Red Cross in solving their personal problems. SERVICES OVERSEAS Services to the men in uniform are not confined to continental United States, the manager points out. As the only non-military or-, ganlzation authorised by the War department to accompany the armed forces outside American territory, Red Cross staffs are working with the men in North Africa, the Solomons, Australia, New Guinea, England, Iceland, the Middle East and wherever U. S. troops have gone.

This over-seas program is the largest of its kind ever attempted by a private agency. Mr. Hunt de clared. In addition to military and naval welfare field directors, hospital workers and recreation leaders, it already provides clubs, inns, hos tels and recreation facilities tn strategic spots around the world for the use of service men on leave. The American Red Cross being the sole recruiting agency for nurses entering the army, is now engaged in recruiting throughout the country approximately 3,000 nurses per month to meet the needs of the War department.

35.000 VOLUNTEER Volunteers 35,000 strong, are serv ing in South Carolina chapters, the announcement states. These chapter volunteers produced 1,243,0000 surgical dressings at the request of the army and navy and provided garments for soldiers and for foreign war relief. Thousands of kit bags for men who go overseas also are being made and filled by chapters in the state. Another noteworthy Red Cross accomplishment in South Carolina, Mr. Hunt said, was the training of nearly 43,000 persons in first aid.

On the home front, the manager continues, detailed plans for civilian war aid have been developed. Largely due to the emergency needs of soldiers and disaster sufferers. Red Cross canteen workers served 8,900 meals in this period compared with none for the preceding year. In the field of health 500.000 women were trained in Red Cross nursing during 1942 and of these 5,266 in South Carolina. Several thousands others have completed the Red Cross course in nutrition as an aid in meeting family diet problems in the face of rationing and food shortages.

MEMBERSHIP Is 65,355 Two hundred forty-six trained nurses' aides are serving daily in 30 South Carolina hospitals. Public health nursing, long a function of tne tea cross many sections, was heavier than in the preceding year. Nurses made 908 visits in behalf of patients. South Carolina Red Cross chan ters enrolled a membership of 65,555 in 1941. For the roll call completed in the week war was declared, South Carolina chapters enrolled a total membership of 115,452.

This renre- sented an increase of 50.000 over the preceding year.

Dec. 2fi. iPi Church men and women representing 30,000,000 church-goers from the Rio Grande to the Arctic circle have formally burled competition as a smjck in tneir traae.

It's merger, to put it simply.

It's something that probably would have Drougni, ingnt and sunasy indigestion to the dear, old stiff recks of the '90s. The Presbyterians who thought the Episcopalians a bit flighty. The Baptist who though he congretaUonalisU were getting meir religion me easy way. Ana so on. This "mercer" won't be in full effect until IMS because the huge agenclei who sent representatives to Cleveland still must approve the move in their own conventions, and then some 60 denominations must approve.

But it's pretty much a foregone conclusion they will. This move was a merged in only one sense. Ferhapi the moat important sense. It' a merger of work.

One of the M. slapped Klrwan several times, and when Kirwan was removing his coat the soldier clubbed him with a gun." Hall said that on his arrival, shortly afterward, attempts were being made to pacify the service men, and that he had heard of no concerted attack on them by patrons in the establishment, as the military police claimed.
