The opinion

PRENDERGAST, Judge

(concurring).—I hold the Act is valid as a necessary and reasonable regulation.

And I also hold it valid under the inalienable police power of the Legislature as straight prohibition in the prescribed zones, as a necessary aid to the successful prosecution of the war.

And I further hold there is no constitutional provision, State or national, which directly- or by implication forbids or prevents it.
