An injunction against all picketing in labor disputes where violence has been recurrent was upheld today by the California supreme court in a four to three decision.

A minority opinion held the courts action would tend to result in a ban on all picketing in California. The opinion came in an action of the Elm Oil company of Long Beach against the Oil Workers International union, C. I. O. The high court upheld part of a Los Angeles superior court Injunction, including an order against all picketing by the oil workers against the company.

"Where past picketing has become so irrevocably blended with acts of violence, physical intimidation, or other unlawful conduct as to give rise to a justifiable belief that future picketing is likely to result in a continuance of the illegal act," the majority held, an injunction restraining a labor organization from any and all picketing, lies within the equitable power of the court and does not constitute an infringement of the right of free speech." was sunk by an enemy submarine off Cape May, N.

The navy announced Tuesday that the United States destroyer Jacob Jones (above) SAN FRANCISCO, March 3. (P) A wide border of the entire Pacific coast extending 95 to 250 miles inland and reaching along the Arizona-Mexico border was designated by the army today as military area No. from which enemy aliens and American-Japanese may be excluded or their movements restricted. Lieutenant General J. L.

DeWitt, commanding general of the western Defense command, under whose jurisdiction aliens now come, said his first evacuation order would deal with Japanese aliens and American citizens of Japanese descent now In certain vital military areas. German and Italian aliens will be evacuated later. Exceptions will be made, he indicated, for aged Italians and Germans and those with children in the American armed forces. "Immediate compulsory mass evacuation of all Japanese and other aliens from the Pacific coast is impracticable," General DeWitt said. "Eventually, orders will be issued requiring all Japanese, including those who are American-born, to vacate all of military area No.

1. Those Japanese and other aliens who move into the interior out of this area now will gain considerable advantage and in all probability will not again be disturbed." Continuing Process. General DeWitt's order today, designated as public proclamation No. ordered no immediate evacuation. Ile made it clear that removals would be a continuing process covered by subsequent proclamations.

Today's announcement laid the groundwork for those orders. A strip along the coast and Mexican border, ranging from 30 to 125 miles deep, was designed a prohibited zone In General De Witt's proclamation. Ninety-three other small sections, surrounding radio stations, telephone and telegraph offices, reservoirs, armories, power plants and dams were also listed as prohibited areas. The rernainde. of military area No.

comprising approximately the western half of Washington, Oregon and California and the southern half of Arizona, was designated as restricted zone B. Within this area some aliens may be permitted to live with certain restrictions. All of the remainder of the four states was described as military area No. 2. No regulations or restrictions were contemplated for this area.

Bear Has Run of Russ Ship I. NICK PAYCHECKS FOR U. S. TAXES NEV YORK, March 3. filq Fashion is having one last fling before the deluge.

At two style shows yesterday, the first of a series of spring fashion openings, luxury was rampant. Sinful silks and sequins appectred in rt kiess profusion, vhile Designer Sophie Gimbel invited her public to join her in "one more spring of loveliness and plenty, with unrestricted color and fabric making unrestricted warfare on gloom." 11as Are Numbered. The days of pure the silks and Imported trimmings are numbered, hut. says Sophie, let's enjoy them while we may. Let's use up the stocks on hand before turn to subst itutes.

As to silhouette. both Sophie's show at Saks and a sectind show at. Jay Thorpe's were conservative. Da yl i me skirts cant in uerl short, shoulders moderately wide, waistlines normal. This is no time for Innovations, the designers seemed to be saying, hebause these fine clothes must last for the duration.

Only new trend was the knee-length evening suita practical Idea adapted to war-time activities. This suit appeared in novel combinations of sheer chiffon with wool, its dark basic color accented with brilliant green tulle or gold sequins. Such suits. fashionists predict. eventually will replace more ost entatious evening clothes for all but the most formal occasions.

Meantime there are such superde-luxe, end-of-an-era fashions as Sophie's pure dye flowered silk' sheath with an overskirt and shawl of glistening silk fringeher white lace cut to last fall's lampshade tunic silhouette and arcessori7ed, wit a black sequin hair black sequin bag and long black' Suede gloves. Saucy Dinner Suit. There's Jay Thorpe's impertinent hobble-skirted dinner suit of black silk crepe, with a miniature bustle edged in black and white taffeta, a matching jabot at the throat. There's pallietted organdy with at least 10 yards of fabric in its full dancing skirt, and a rhumba dress made of alternate tiers of black and white lace ruffles. Arid there are crisp little dressu suits of faille and taffeta frosted with spring's traditional white ruffles.

Because the war may rob fashio of dye, this season's bright wool suits may be regarded as precious, too. They are gayer than ever In sharpest greens, reds. blues --or gently feminine In misty pastels. Only two definitely war-time fashions appeared todaya slacks suit In black and white check wool and bicycling culottes In the same fabric. As a part of the mobilization of leconomie resources in the Nether- lands Indies, the government has heTri encouraging the establishment of new industries.

according to reports reaching the United St a tes. War has greatly altered the foreign trade of the Netherlands Indies, says the National Geographic society. Previously these Pacific islands engaged in a world-wide distribution of commodities for which there was a general demand. came mostly from the Netherlands, Great Britain and Japan. In 1940, the United States the colony's principal source of supplies; trade relations between the Iwo countries had been practically xvar-born only a quarter of a century ago.

The latter half of 1940 showed a SO per cent increase in goods imported from the United States. 'Allonopoly of Quinine. The colony's exporters also have been reported disturbed by the possible effects of war on their virtual monopoly of quinine and their extensive trade in rubber, petroleum, tin, sugar and other products. Though possessing many essentials to industry, the islands had developed few factories. Basic minerals were largely undeveloped.

There are extensive coal fields in Sumatra, and coal is found on other islands. Iron is also available on Sumatra and has been mined on the island of Ifulu off the southeast point of Borneo. In addition to much raw material and an available labor supply, water power is so ahundant on the island of Java that hydroelectric plants supply electric light to the most remote mountain villages and hotels. Imports for Industry. The turn to industry by the Netherlands Indies became apparent by imports from the United States in the latter half of 1940, especially shipments of metals and chemicals.

United States exports of iron and steel semimanufactures exceeded the preceding year by 180 per cent. More than tripled were orders for structural steel, pipes and fittings, nails, bolls and other factory building material. Forty times the normal amount of railway track material went to the islands. Shipments of industrial acids and other chemicals increased 20-fold over 1939. Plans for further utilization of hydroelectric power were reflected in increased shipments of electrical machinery.

Demand also increased for United States motor trucks and busses for operation over the extensive network of excellent highways covering the principal Islands. The Netherlands Indies have an estimated population of nearly 000,000 persons. This figure includes more than a million Chinese, who dominate retail trade. Before the war there were some 5000 Japanese inhabitants. The aggregate area of the islands is 734,000 square miles, which is more than 20 times the size of Indiana.

Orl You'll be finding part of your federal income tax deducted from your paycheck by your employer pretty soon, if congress approves a suggestion made today by Secretary Morgenthau. The treasury head said such "collection at the source" probably would be necessary for the "convenience" of the taxpayer, and also to stop him from spending his "money in some inflationary way I before tax time rolls around.

The secretary asked congress to give him the authority to start the plan whenever he thought necessary and in any amount up to 10 per cent of a paycheck after allowance of credits for dependents. How It'll Work. Here's how it would work at the 10 per cent rate: Salaries and wagesAny employer paying more than $16 a week to a single person or more than $32 a week to a married person would check off 10 per cent of any wages in excess of those amounts and send the money to the treasury every month. If the employee had children or other dependents, an additional $8.50 a week would be exempt from the deduction for each "dependent. Thus a married man with two children, earning $50 a week, would have an exemption of $32 plus $17, or $49, and his employer would deduct only 10 per cent of the remaining $1 of his salary, and the treasury would get 10 cents a week.

Dividends and Interestin certain cases, particularly stock dividends and corporate bond interest, the corporations would deduct a flat 10 per cent (without exemptions) and send it to the treasury. Next year, when a person made' out his income tax return, he would" compute his tax in the usual but take a credit for the amount I already collected at the source, and' pay the difference.

WEEKLY SPECIALS ON BROADLOOM Cut to Fit Any Room KANSAS CITY. Over at the Avenue bank, which has 'been celebrating its 35th anniversary, Don Ricksecken the president, was late to work. It wasn't that he overslept. Ile was eating a hearty banker's breakfast when the doorbell rang. It was Is policeman with a warrant for the banker's arrest.

The officer was a reasonable chap and permitted Ricksecker to finish his breakfast before accompanying him to the police station. The arrest, the Kansas City Star relates, turned on a dog, or rather the ghost of a clog, Mickey, a 13 years old at his demise. The aged Mickey last year developed such a dislike to a store delivery-man it was deemed wise to shift the dog to the Ricksecker farm. Shortly thereafter a dog ent.t- merator appeared. A maid explained Mickey's deliveryman allergy.

A second enumerator was told the dog was not to be brought 'back to the city. Came a demand for dog tax payment. Rick-seeker wrote he had no dog in the city, please cancel the bill. The next demand was routed Ithrough a justice of the peace court. Into the mail went another letter, explaining.

day or two later Ricksecker ascertained that one of his bank cusitomers worked in the enumerator's office, Would he kindly explain, personally, to the dog enumerator that he, Ricksecker, had no dog in the A month or two later the dog died. Arriving in custody at the police Istation, the banker was privileged to telephone the dog enumerator, but that Individual, using banking hours, had not arrived. After waiting awhile, the clerk called the city hall again, where upon explanation of the circumstances, Ricksecker was notified that he would be released on his certification that the dog was dead. at not more than 10 cents: B. 80 cents per pound of carbonic acid gas used in unbottled drinks; 900,000.

Capital stock taxes and the levy on "declared value excess profits" would be repealed.

Proposed Excises. His suggested excises included 1 cent a bottle on soft drinks. 15 peri cent of the manufacturers price on candy and chewing gum, and 3' cents a gallon on gasoline (double the present rate). The excise also would affect wines and liquors, telephone and '1 telegraphic communications, cigars, I cigarettes and smoking tobacco, and transportation of persons. Estate and gift taxes would be rpised about 60 per cent by changing exemptions and boosting the rates.

The estate rates are now 3 to 77 per cent and would be upped to a scale of 8 to 80 per cent, the rate increasing with the size of the estate. Gift rates, now three-fourths of the estate rates, would, rise in proportion. Morgenthau also i proposed that so-called "loop holes" in the tax laws under which, he said, some individuals escape full tax payment, be eliminated. The new tax rates are needed, he I old the committee, not only to finance the war, but also as a check On inflation. The new tax law, he said, should be drawn with a view ob withdrawing the greatest possible volume of purchasing power.

Renewing his opposition to general sales taxes, he said he new rates should be "fair and nondiscriminatory and imposed in accordance with ability to pay." "'rhe cost of this war," he said, "will have to be bOrne by every 1 nne. It will be borne willingly and cheerfully if the principle of ability pay is followed."
