The military governor has issied 163 orders, covering all phases of civil life, and only one of these orders has been referred to civil Governor Stainback for approval, In fact, the civil governor, pointed by the President of the United States, has been divested of power and authority Here is a list of some of the fields in which the military governor has taken control: Press, labor, courts, both civil and criminal; municipal affairs, opera- is a tion of taxicabs, garbage disposal, ! numbering of houses, dispensing of liquor, civilian defense, public heal‘n, prisons, insane asylums, price con- trol, sale of gasoline, hospitals, trans- portation, and the growing of veget- ables. Gen. Emmons saw the need for in- creasing production of vegetables on the islands to lighten the burden of imports from the States. Without consulting Governor Stinback, he appointed a director of food produc- tion, Walter F. Dillingham, member of one of the Big Five Families and a socialite friend of Emmons. It is estimated that at least $100,000 has been lost in this abortive effort to | grow veegetables. To stabilize production of defense materials, labor has been frozen to the job, even bus drivers and work- ers in electric light and gas plants. Labor is. restive under the restric- tions, and bus drivers have been known to commit accidents for the purpose of being discharged The turnover in defense industries is _heayy; despite restrictions.

A civilian in Honolulu recently was brought up on a murder charge before the “military commission,’ and was condemned to death by this drumhead justice. There was no indictment, no jury, and the judges made no pretense of having legal training.
