New York Adopts Anta-Discrimmat'ion Law
NEW YORK—New York became the first state in the union to set up a special, permanent state, commission charged with the specific task of eliminating discrimination in em-ployment because of race，creed，color，or national origin when Governor Thomas E. Dewey signed the Ives-Quinn bill recently in the state capital at Albany, N. Y.
EFFECTIVE JULY
The nation^ first anti-discrimination law, which becomes effective July 1,sets up a coi^.mission of five members, each to be paid $10,000 yearly. The bill directs them to elimipiate discriminatron in employment by conciliation, persuasion, and meditation where possible, but it authorizes the commission to issue orders, subject to court review, when the other means fail. The commission will also promote better relations between minority and majority population groups through educational and community agencies.
The bill was passed recently by the state senate by a vote of 49 to 6 and by the state assembly by a vote of 109 to 32. In his statement on signing the bill, Governor Dewey said.
“Our success in achieving the objectives of this measure, will, of course, depend greatly upon the wisdom, tolerance and understanding of the members of the commission. The law i must be administered with tolerance and generosity of spirit on all sides. By its work the commission will meet from day to day the hidden irritants which if cumulated would fester discontent among many groups of our citizenry. It is far better that these evils receive open consideration and effective treatment than that they be suppressed to become the weapons of whispering malcontents.
must not be understood that the state is here attempting to impose itself as arbiter of social or personal likes or dislikes, y this act the state declares the simple principle that in employment there shall be no discrimination by reason of race, creed, color, or national origin. It expresses the rule that must be fundamental in any tree society~that no man shall be deprived of the chance to earn his bread by reason of the circumstances of his birth.,J#	*
REASON FOR BILL
NEW YORK CALLING
(Following is the seventh m the series of weekly articles based on survey opinions of 30 New York City Japanese Americans. These articles will give the interviewed Nisei’s opinions on (1)What kind of businesses an Issei should enter, (2) Helps which will be available for entering business, (3) Postwar prospects for business in New York as w^ll as on other itexns ot interest.—Editor)
“Issei Businessmen and skilled craftsmen can find a ptace for themselves in the New York area.>, Tatsugoro Okajima, owner of the Japan Art Goods Co. said. His business, wmch was established soon after 1908, is located in one pf New York’s finest shop-ing districts.
Numerous restaurants have been owned and operated in New York for many years by persons of Japanese ancestry. They are to be found 111 all parts of the city, and most of them have an exclusively Caucasian trade. A number of the restaurants which specialize in Oriental foods are frequented by Caucasians as well as Japanese.
Many Caucasians frequently dine at the Miyako, just a few steps from fasliionable Fifth Ave. Suki-yaki, tempura, sashimi and other Japanese dishes are served there.
Tsukada, owner of the restaurant, has been in that business since 1917.
Some blocks away is located the Suyehiro Restaurant winch, also serves Japanese foods, most-i ly for Caucasians.
Shima’s Tea Shop, located at 31 West Eighth Street, is one of the busiest restaurants in the Greenwich Village. The restaurant has been situated at its present address for 12 years an4 now employes 20 persons.
Another restaurant which caters almost exclusively to Caucasian customers, although it serves both Oriental and Caucasian dishes, is tiie Dowp.town Oriental Restaurant at Greenwien Street. This restaurant is owned and operated by Masatomo No bo, Issei. He came to New York more than 20 years ago and has been in the restaurant business for ten years.

A picture of Pvt, Koshi Ando now decorates the window oi the Koch Bros. Stationery Store of Des Moines, Iowa along with the other fellow employees who have entered the service of their country, the Des Moines Midget Tribune announced.
It stated that Pvt. Ando was last reported to be stationed at Fort Ord, Calif., with the paratroopers.
Pvt. Ando is the son of Mrs. Tamae Ando of 18-1-5. Another son, Pvt； Tetsu Ando is now stationed at Camp Leonard Wood, in Missouri.	%
The reason for the bill and the purposes it is intended to serve are indicated in the following section:
uThe legislature hereby finds and declares that practices of discrimination against any >0f its inhabitants because of race, creed, color, or national origin are a matter of state concern, that such discrimination threatens not only the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants, but menances the institution an dfoundation of a free democratic state. A state agency is hereby created with power to eliminate and prevent discrimination in employment because of race, creed, color, or national origin either by employers, labor organizations, employment agencies or other persons and to take other action against discrimination because ot race, creed, color or national origin, as herein provided; and the commission established hereunder is given jurisdiction and power for such purposes.,>	»
WATCHED
Other states and the federal government are reported watching the new experiment with interest with a view to taking similar action.

Other services rendered by the Red Cross include that of preparing social histories of servicemen, requested by the military to help a soldier adjust himself to army life or in some cases to assist a prison board m determining the sentence of a convicted serviceman; assist servicemen in disposing of property; mak-e requests to facilitate moving ^ serviceman confined to a hospital to a veteran’s hospital closer to the family residence so that they can visit him more easily; write letters to veteran’s administration | regarding disability claims and pensions for medically discharged soldiers; and through many other deeds.

CARRY YQUR CLASSIFICATION CARD
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 31— Ben Nakaji of Manzanar was trying to take a nap in Los Angeles Union Station one day last week. It was 3:30 a.m. He was awaiting
train to Chicago.
A Los Angeles police officer making a routine tour sized Ben up as draft material and asked to see his Selective Service Classification Oard.
^feen, who is 21,got a bit flustered, and didn^t have ms Classification Card on his person as the law demands, so he was packed off to the special “tanK’’ main-■ tamed for draft evasion suspects at Lincoln Heights Jail, where he spent the rest of the wee hours and the next day up to 11:30 a.m.
When ttie WRA Los Angeles office heard about it through a friend at Maryknoll Mission, a speedy investigation was request-
ea m time.
The incident was the first to involve a Nisei in Draft Card difficulties in this city. It brought prompt request from both police department and intelligence agencies for publication in center newspapers of the following reminders:
1.	Draft Classification Cards must be carried on the person (Ben had his some place in his luggage.)
2.	A Classification Card more than six months old is wortnless under present laws.
In addition, the Los Angeles police chief reminds Issei and Nisei travelers of the existence of friendly institutions such as the YMCA arid the Evergreen Hostel in Boyle Heights, which may prove helpful in supplying temporary quarters for travelers who face long, waits between trains when hostel Tooms prove impossible to locate.

SATURDAY. MARCH 3L 1945.
Purelq Personal
By Sue Kunitomi
CHICAGO—March 16, Carey McWilliams，author of “brothers Under the Skin” <and “Prejudice —.Japanese Americans, Symbol of Racial Intolerance” spoke before an audience of about 800 people on the meaning of evacuation to democracy. The majority of the audience was Japanese. It was the question period following McWilliams discussion, that interested me. Someone from the balcony asked why the Nisei should take on the burden of some other minority when we have burdens of our own. In my opinion, that was tops in selfishness and incon-sideration. True, we involve ourselves in a life of complications, but would we deserve whatever rights we receive if we didn,t work for them ourselves? The colored people, alone, have done more for the Japanese American people than the Nisei have ever
done fo^ them. They have asked for nothing in return. Didn^ the experience of evacuation bring the Nisei into broader thinking than this?
A graduate electrical engineer wanted to know the quickest
means of finding a job for which he was educated. According to him, the unofficial policy of the Federal government was to ugive the worst jobs and cheapest payJ, to the Japanese and colord people. Fortunately, that question was ignored. The vast majority of relocatees have found gobs that are paying from forty to fifty dollars per week. That is almost twice as m：uch as wh^t
they earned working in fruit stands and wholesale markets on the Coast. They are enjoying the right to work at the skill for which they were trained. Before evacuation, that right was • as impossible to reach as reaching for a star. That engineer needs only to use his initiative and look for a job, and not depend so much on a job looking for him.
A colored man in the audience asked whether it was the Japan ese who were the problem, the Negro, a problem，or thp Caucasian, a problem. To this, Me-Williams answered: “The Caucasian is *a proble^n.” Laughter swept over the audience.
So far, I haven^ stuck my neck out in writing, on the ticklish matter of minority groups and their fight for equal rights as citizens of a great country. Now I knowl^nd feel strongly that if we are to solve our problems, or even attempt to take on the responsibility, we must learn to be tolerant of others. The Jewv the Negro, the Mexican, the Italian, the Chinese and Filipino—all of them must put their shoulders together with the Nisei on the wheels of humanity~or as one patriot of "^shington’s time said: “We will all hang seperately.”

BESIDE THE POINT
Would like to have seen that game between the Sears and the Manzaknight played on a niceij day than last Sunday. It was windy, dusty and whatever else you could think of• But then that 琴ame shouldn’t have foeen played in that kind of weather.	二
Shig Nakamura of the Solons should be having a headache now thatHoyNakasmma’GeorgeNe-nashi，thminy Morita and Joe Na-kao have left. The four have been mainstays on the Solon nine and tjiey will be sorely missed.
Most hits registered in one gameiscreditedtotheManza-knights in their game against the Yogores when they pounded in 7 runs on 7 hits in the 7th inning. In that same game, they clouted three four basers. s The 7-1Is' piled the hit column with 6 in the 8th inning in its game with the Red Sox, The younger San Pedro nine is in second slot with two homers in one game. All tms conies out of the official scorebook.
Former Sports Editor Danny Iwata, now a private in the U.S. Army, seems in the best of health according to ms recent letter, but has one complaint; he does-not get enough sleep. Says he was out on a night tactical problem which took him until midnight. That was okay, he says, only he had to be on the go since 5:30 in the mom.
Well，see you at the weekend games.

ELIMINATE ADVANCE APPROVAL AS TWO VISITS TO CENTERS ALLOWED
Plan of some California business to “boycott” the evacuees does not violate any Federal statute^ Edwin E. Fergusoiij a WRA Washington Solicitor revea丄ed in a memorandum to Proj ect Director Ralph P. Merritt.
He said that there is in fact a question of whether'a Fed-
eral law could constitutionally be enacted to protect individuals aT gainst boycotts where boycotts do not affect interstate commerce or are not carried o\x1; unde^r co丄or or of state law.
As no interstate activities ^re involved in the boycotts, they do not fall within Federal statutes regulating trade practices.
Unless some right guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States is violated^ * Federal statutes would not apply. Merely refusing to, sell to thQ evacuees does not violate any such rights. •
A Boycotts against the evacuees on account of their race are precisely the type of activity^ these sections were intended to prohibit. r

Nisei Gir丨 Secnetaiy To Raymond Booth
L〇3 ANGELES— Elva Shino-zaki, for two years an employee of the U. S. Government at Cincinnati, assumed her new position as secretary to Relocation Officer G. Raymond Booth.
Through a modification of the present policy governing visits to relocation centers, relocatees will be allowed two visits not to exceed an accumulative total of 30 days, effective Monday, April 16, according to an announcement, toy WHA Director Dillon S. Myer.
This new regulation also eliminates the previous requirement for advance approval for visits to the centers.
An evacuee may divide the allotted 304<days between his two visits in anyway he desires. An emergency involving the aeath or serious illness of an immediate family member will permit a visitor to come to the project without having the period of the em-ergency charged afgainst his visiting time.
In addition to health emergen-； cies, others excluded from the limitations on time and number of visitors are:(1)Members oi the armed forces on active status or. in the Enlisted Reserve; (2) 分ersons conducting official busi-ness with a center, such as relocatees seelftng to hire center residents for outside employment; and (3)" Students who have not completed courses and who present letters from authorized officials of colleges, trade or% high schools vouching for their enrollment. These students will be permitted a 90-day stay, to be counted as one visit.
Visits beyond the 30-day. limit may be extended by the project director up to 30 additional days, if a relocation plan is definitely in process for the visitor^ family members, and the project director is satisfied that the plan can be completed througn an extension of ftime.
Applications for exceptions to the regulations should be made well in advance through the field relocation office. The director must approve such exceptions. Except in extreme ^emergencies, no one foe admitted pending application for a third visit.
If an evacue attempts to enter or remain at a center without permission through fraud or misrepresentation, he will be required to leave immediately. Such a person will thereafter be ineligible for further relocation assist-ance grants and transportation Of property, xinless the director, or recommendation of the project director, approves an exception.
Cnarges for meals and loaging will be made to all nonresidents wifh the exception of the following: (1)Vacationing students on 90-day visits; members of the ERC; relocated evacuees, wb〇, after pre-induction physical examinations have not yet been# inducted or placed in the Enlisted Reserve Corps (they are subject to visiting time limitations); and members of the armed services on active status, who will be charged for board feut not for lodging. Guest charges are payable in advance for tfie estimate^ or authorized duration of the visit. Refunds will be made for unused payments.
Eolicy on reinductions to centers and transfers between the centers remains unchanged. No readmissions will be permitted because of ill health or inability to make an adjustment in an outside community. Instead, the area relocation officer will assist in solving problems incident to relocation.

Six Hundred and Three
Significant figures COme from the Manzanar Relocation Office. One hundred and fifty-eight persons relocated during the month of Marcn. In the same period of time six hundred and three people made definite plans to go on terminal leave.
Evacuee property reports that^ they shipped 82,835 pounds of personal belongings out of the center in the month of March.
One hundred and four persons made definite plans to leave on Monday and Tuesday of last week.
To all of us these figures mean one thing. Friends and neighbors are leaving Manzanar. An end of an era is reached. Beyond lies a new life.
Mr. Dillon Myer has said the center will close not later than January 2,1946. At the present rate the centgr will close before that tirup.
Fifty-two relocated persons per day would empty the center July 1，1945. Six. hundred and three persons per month will see Manzanar evactlatea by November 20.
Will Manzanar’s final day be somewhere between these two dates?
Twilight Over Manzanar
The War Relocation Authority has set up the Relocation Office to make the change from center life to normal life less burdensome.
A receptionist will greet you and introduce you to the library. There you may reaa literature from almost all sections of the United States. Efficient trained personnel will help you make your selection of a new home and assist you in finding employment.	,
Hundreds of job offers await your consideration. There are more jobs listed than there are persons at Manzanar.
Employers are calling for Japanese Americans and for aliens. Today they are going out knowing that they can provide .for iheir family in agreeable, employment.
Near Seabrook, twenty-two families are wanted to operate farms. As this is written the offer is still open. Soon it will be filled and that opportunity lost forever.
Life m the latter days of center closing will be a bleak, barren thing. Friends will be gone, school will be closed, entertainment and activities will be curtailed.
Sittipg out nere on the desert with little to do but remember 1>he jobs we let others take away from us will be an unpleasant experience.

I wish to thank the residents of Manzanar for their many kindnesses to me during my recent visit.

NEW YORK CALLING
(Following is the eighth in the series of weekly articles ba^ed on survey opinions of 30 New York Ciiy Japanese Americans* These articles will gire the interviewed Nisei#s opinions on (1)Whai kind of businesses 9n Issei should enter, (2) Helps which will be available for entering business, (3) Postwar prospects for business in New York as well as on other items of interest.—Editor)
“I wish I could obtain more merchandise^ Uichiro Onoda declared adding that although umy old customers know my ancestryr . they'continue to come back
to my store•”
For a new venture, he suggested that Issei establish a restaurant business.
Onoda owns the Yorozu Art Shop on Broadway.
“In the long time we have been nere, my family and I have bleen treaied like any other peo二 pie,” Kyosuke Suzue said. “The same customers come back to^us and we have not felt any real prejudice as a result of the war. I believe the best chance for the Issei from the camps is to enter into such enterprises as services 孕nd cafeterias in wmch merchan: dise can be easily obtained.” Suzue owns the Oriental Lamp Shade Company on Broadway. He came to New York in 1916 and first worked for his uncle.
“My business was closed for two weeks <right after Pearl Harbor, but during that time, I had about 60 merely cal}s な〇印 customers who 乒 ssured me o 士 tiieir friendship and continued patronage,,J Robert M. Endo, specializer in porcelain work on Times Square declared.
He added, ^During the past few years, I have been busier than ever before. New York has been vfery good to us. It is very cosmopolitan and friendly. That is why we have never run into any of the prejudices that our friends have experienced on the "West Coast. I would urge Issei or Nisei with any traae on schooling to come to New York.”
Endo was brought to California by his parents in 1908 and came to New York in 1930.

The relocation program as you are well aware, is entering its final year—in many Ways, it's the hardest.
I hope that through my column I can of help to those of you yho still be m doubt on relocation and enable you to take advan-tage of the opportunities on the outside so that you may- become a real part of the great American community, a privilege won for all Americans of Japanese ancestry by the bravery of the Nisei in uniform and the fine record of earlier resettlers.
Without doubt, the most important and the most difficult problem is housing. For individuals, rooms are plentiful and eaSy to find. However, family housing, especially for families with young children is difficult, but somehow by persistent newspaper reading, fcx>twork and a touch of compromise, resettlers are meeting and solving it.
Employment opportunities are numerous and varied, for Issei and Nisei men and women. Of all worries, employment should be the least.
Public community sentiment in Milwaukee is good. The people, generally spe'aking are complete and understanding, probably due (Continued on Pag« ThrMX

Purelij Personal
By Sue Kunitomi
One morning last week, I a-woke to find Ole Sol shmitig in the window. Without effort,丄 re** membered a golden ^field of California poppies, an April breeze dancing with the dandelions and I knew that Spring had come to Chicago.
The postman exclaimed in proftd Chamber of Commerce style that “Chicago in spring vis beautiful!” and f added “with apple blossoms and a wave of green grass, it’ll be just California!J, The reply to that one was “bah.” 一
Store windows have blossomed out in pastel shades. Hats of all sizes and styles bring forth envious looks from women shoppers. Men shed their heavy coats for warm jackets or winter^ clothes. Off cdmes galoshes, scarfs, and mittens. The change is electric. Millons have awakened irom a hibernation period. People all〆 walk with spirited gait, children'" run and. play in lighter clothes:
Everyone sighs: ‘‘It’s t(?o nice …Hay to work，” and gazes out tl>e office window—Ah, Spring has sprung.
Benches in Wasmngton Square, known ‘ar “Bughouse Square” on the north side will soon be occupied by the old and perhaps useless men whose lives have already seen a score of springs. They are content to feed the squirrels that scurry among the pigeons or listen withoint interest to soapbox orators who have little else to do.
.Springes here and with it, new hopes arid greater dreams of a teeming people.
Blossom Girl Firm To Resume Business
Frank Hata, operator of the “Blossom GirlHollywood” cosmetic firm, and a former resident of this center, has returned to his home in Ii〇s Angeles and will be glad to answer any communications to him from center evacuees who contemplate returning, Los Angeles Area Relocation Supervisor Paul G. tiob-ertson disclosed this week m a teletype to the center.
All residents who ha^e ques-ions to ask him should address their letters to Frank Hata, 647 Sputh Fairfax Ave., Los Angeles, California.

SPRINGFIELD^ Mass.— En-couragement on the resettlement of Japanese evacmees to Spring-meld was 110ted recently when two Springfield residents volunteered to hire two evacuees, the Springfield Republican disclosed.
It also stated that Mayor Anderson has announced that he would appoint three suもcommittees oil jobs， housing, and com-munity relations to cooperate with WRA District Officer Charles G. McGallister and WRA Area Supervisor Roger Clapp.
Japanese Dangerous Competitors fo Farmers on Coast
PITTSFIELD, Mぉs.— “There is no reason to be 这stonished” at the fine war，record of Nisei soldiers and ^nobody who has lived in Japan and knows the Japanese in their homeland'considers them to be devoid of good qualities,an article in the editorial page of the ?ittsfjLeld Berkshire Eagle declared.
The article continues, “Their worst detractors in this ^ country will hardly deny that they are intelligent ^nd industrious; in fact, it is gust these qualities that make them dangerolis competitors to other farmers on the^West Coast.”
ESemenfary School Make Easter Cards
The local elementary school, in cooperation witn the Manzanar Red Cross, made Easter cards for soldiers irom this center in the armed forces ^ of ' the Tjniited States.
The Block Managers were ask-jed to distribute these cards tt)1he relatives of soldiers in the center, who in turn aadressed the cards and sent them to the soldiers.	へ

The Shimizu family is pleased that it一 will be able to reoccupy the merchants Boyle* Heiglits residence.

MANZANAR BOYS AID TASK FORCE
WITH THE SIXTH ARMY IN FRANCE-r-Three Manzanar, Cal. Relocation Cejiter boys are members of / the^ uO^Conner Task Force” the 442nd Japanese American Combat Team which received the Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation for destroying the German main line of resistance in the rugged Vosges Mountains of Northeastern France， the War Department rep-orts.
It states that this、highest of group decorations in the United States Army was earned by the Japanese American troop for、 breaking a two-day stalemate, routing at least three Nazi battalions^ and paving the Way to the liberation of Belmont and Biffontaine, key towns straddling the roads leading into Qer-many through Alsace.
Members of-this task force are now^ entitled to wear the blue and gold Distinguished Unit Bkdge.
The task force was commanded by ¥a：jor Emmett L. O’Conner of Hawaii. Its mission was tQ encircle German positions along a railroad track and the forward slope of a hill. This meant they had to infiltrate over a mile and a half of enemy-held, heavily-forested terrain.
To gain their objective, the task force swung south of the fighting Knes and circled north， creeping up the narrow, forested ridgenne held by the enemy. The •task force coordinated its surprise attack on the^ enemy rear with frontal assaults by the rest of the combat team,
The task force routed at leasts
tねree German battalions, killed 80 Germans by small ajms fire with Frenchmen reporting 200 to 350 more dead Germans on the ridge, probably killed by artillery fire; captured 56 prisoners and destroyed large amounts of equipment； Only tnree Japanese Americans were wounaed m the action, two only slightly.

MANZANAR SADDENED BY PRESIDENrS DEATH
Sj;ill shocked from the news of the passing of the president of the United States, the nation paused today to pay their final reverence to the . late President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as funeral services were conducted this afternoon in the East Room of the White House. Internment will be at Hyde Park tomorrow afternoon.
The late president was vacationing at Warm Springs, Georgia, where he had been since March 30 when death came to him on Thursday, April12 at 1:35 p.m. Pacific War Time (3:35) CWT due to Cerebral Hemorrhage.
His death carried on an old traditibn that presidents elected at 20 year intervals die in office. This list includes: William Henry Harrison, 1840; Abraham Lincoln, 1860; James A. Garfiedd, 1880; William McKinley, 1900; Warren G. Harding, 1920, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1940.	•
The skd news was received at Manzanar shortly, after 3 o^lock and all flags at the centers were immediately lowered to half mast. Expressing the grief of center residents, Chairman K.

PROJECT DSRECTOR#S MESSAGE
Franklin Roosevelt is dead. He was more than a President. He was more than the Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy. He was the living hope of the liberty loving world. In the hour of the greatest victory in the history of free people, he has died, a sacrifice that their victory might come. The hopes of the common man were his hopes, the suffering of minorities and small peoples were his sufferings, the prayers for the safe return of peace was his dream. He gave his life that lasting peace might come.
Let us each in our own way dedicate ourself to the completion of our part of the great task yet to be finished that complete victory may be ours and a lasting peace of freedom ana justice heal the wounds of war.
RALPH P. MERRITT

Property Receiving, Shipping Warehouse Moves To Mess Two
The Evacuee Property Receiving and Shipping Warehouse, now located at Warehouse 23, will be moved from its present location to Mess Hall Two beginning Monday, April16.
Evacuee Property Officer David S. Bromley announceH. He stated that this move is being made in order to bring the warehouse function closer to other allied offices, such as the Evacuee Property office and the Relocation office.
uWe believe that this move will be an ^dded convenience to all center residents in lormul'ating their relocation plans,Bromley declared.
Insurance Not Available to Japanese
“I have been in contact with many companies who carried fire, auto, compensation, public liability and so forth and none of them will issue any insurance to the Japanese people at the present time, H. A. Bernardo, Lf〇s^ Angeles district manager of the Cen-tral JLife Insurance* Company of Illinois, reports in a letter to Kay Kubota of 5-2-5.
Disclosing t?iat ^it is a surprise to me” that v this decision has taken form since 1 was under the impression that when the military permitted the Japanese to return the companies would issue policies to them,” Bernardo declares, “色oth Mr. Sloan and Mr. Robertson (both of the WRA) and myself are plenty burned up a-bout it and Mr. Sloan told me that he would write to th?e Insurance Commissioner of th.e State. However, I do not think it would do him any good as he would have no jurisdiction over the insurance companies.”
War Correspondent Writes Of Nisei Soldiers1 Problems
NEW YORK—John Lardner, war correspondent who has become well acquainted with Nisei soldiers in Italy and in Hawaii, writes of their problems as a racial group, their battle exploits and the many evidences of their loyalty in the New Yorker magazine.
He compares the Japanese A-meriean’s situation in Hawaii with that on the mainland arfd reports the conversations abotit Nisei soldiers he has had with various Caucasian officers who have commanded the Nisei in action.
One of his best ancedotes about the Nisei soldier is that “some of: them have proved clever enough in dialectics to confuse German troops badly. One German prisoner in Italy, reacting to the sight of his Japanese captor with char-acteristic astonisliment， said, ノ CI thought the Japanese were on our side.’ ‘You people are getting so you believe everything Dr. Go-ebbels tells you/ said the Nisei tersely, thus increasing the global bewilderment of every German within earshot.”
Lardner also mentions the Nis-ei in his eye-witness account of the battle of Iwo Jima and declares, ^At one point, I listened to a frail Nisei interpreter arguing with an officer who wanted •to help carry his pack.”

Beginning with this edilion the Free Press in co-ordination with the Relocation Office, will publish a Relocation Supplement edition each week for the benefit of center residenls.
Included in ihe supplements will be selected jab offers from ihe various parts of the United States as well as other items ox interest.

With Takara Musume
LOS ANGELES, April14— It’s still a great world if you don’t weaken.,
For the last few days, this columnist has been noseying around and not one incident to date.
Our tour started from Los An-, geles. First Street is thickly populated by Negroes. Roosevelt Hi, the alma mater for many Man-zanites still stands as high and proud as its ideals.
Who#d ever thought we#d ever be able to go to Los ^Lngeles Harbor and nsn in San Pedro? We did and it was great. Of course the places nearby are buzzing with ship building. The same pigeon roost on the piers, the sea gulls stand on the beach waiting for the water to wash up something to eat and ihe ever-so-fam-iliar pelicans still ride the waves^ Palos Verdes looks as lovely with the lush green of springtime in the foreground. Redlands Beach Pier still attracts the fish buyers, amateur fishermen and the curious. By the way, those hep-cats from Pedro may be interested to know that Shanghai Redfs is still going strong. And to any and all swingsters, Jan Garbers is at the South Gate Trianon.
Sepulveda, Santa Monica Blvd., Venice Blvd., Pico and all are handling heavy* war time traffic.
The Evergreen Hostel is situ-1 ated a few blocks north of the cemetry. - Very nice and quiet (the hostel, not the cemetery.)
A bus came through Riverside county and the first panicky feeling about reception we felt as we saw a fleet of airplanes lined up on a field. Outside of Chicago and Denver, it5s the first citified city weVe seen since evacuation-a;id Baker was the first city in California that we stopped in since relocation.
When we hit the depot in L.A•ハ and stepped off ^people just looked but said nothiilg—that#s nothing we looked sfiraight back them. Since then, this writer has ducked into shops of all sorts for street information and each repbr has always been courteous and friendly—the genuine American way.
Throughout the country, new crops pf victory homes for the defense workers have sprouted. Gardena’s bunch is called “Gardena Park” and in Compton， it，s the “Victory Park/’
Eye-pealing notes: One of the wealthiest Japanese, family/ formerly of Gardena, is said to have purchased a hotel in Salt Lake City and is operating it with a brazen sign -!No Japs,J on it ... A late modeled cream colored Ford sedan went passed the slick-Buick we were on with the sign, “分〇 Japs In Califomia.” Apparently unaware of the shallowness which reflects bacK on them, one haggard looking old lady even looked around to stare. We looked back with uso What,J written on our faces . . . One Nisei-operated restaurant in Colorado tried to restrict Japanese patronage but a nice hard fist-shake by a few well-meaning Nisei boys cured him of any “patriotic” ideas . . . Who she is is unknown to this reporter, but there’s at least one sympathetic person in West Lps Angeles. She answers to the name Mrs. Hare and lives on Bundy.
Mrs. Hare sought housing for the evacuees who asked her for help out one hostel manager gave her a tongue lashing. Yes，a toast to all Mrs. Hares all over who are still undaunted and determined knowing ihe difference between wrong and right •. On one Nisei owned farm we visited and saw a nice black car in a garage with its tires and motor stripped. Vandals tore a hole in one side of the garage.

Purelq Personal
By Sue Kunitomi
It was just a photograph in a paper-bound book but it gave my sentimental heart a queer twist when I saw it. The scene was in front of the Free Press Office with Roy Takeno, Itch Hirata and Nob Sawamura intently reading the Los Angeles papers. In the background,^ scenic Sierra peaks blended into the horizon.
This photo came from Ansel Adams’ picture book, “Born Free and Equal,” the story oi Manzanar and her people. Without a doubt all of us will feel a nostalgia for camp long after Manza^. nar is abolished. Ansel Adams’ book / will renew the yearning. The interval of confinement had its pleasant moments，its JLaugh-ter-filled days.
The picture of Block 34 Garden brought to mind the open house day when Inyo county residents paid a. visit to Manzanar. Today as spring is tiptoeing in, I can vision snow-capped Mt. Williamson, and will anyone ever forget the vivid yellow, red and orange of the sun against a limitless sky?
Neat rows of flowers and vegetables cared for with the patience of the first generation is a sight for eyes sore from looking at concrete and wood fencing in a wanderlust. Baseball /players pictured in the two-page spread reminds me|that youngsters in the city play in ^narrow streets threatened by carelss drivers and the fear of broken windows.
Patience is a virtue we acquired in camp. Waiting in mess toll lines such as that pictured in Adams, book helped to cultivate that virtue.
There are laughting faces, solemn faces, faces of the young and old. Which one luaes a breaking heart? How many of ■them know the joy of being a free person—not freedom from a wire enclosure but freedom of their soul? Behind these personalmes, there lie the courage and faith of a minority. *

Nisei Interpreters Foil Enemy Attack
TACOMA, Wash.一The aid that American soldiers of Japanese ancestry are furnishing the United States Army through their bi-lingual ability was disclosed this week by Major Cortez of Sacramento, the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported.
He stated that the Japanese American interpreters successfully aided in foiling a Japanese night attack pn an American command post in the Camotes Islands.
Americans were stationed behind trees in a square around the post when the Japanese massed in surrounding woods for an ^attack. Just inside the defense perimeter, the Nisei, listening to the Japanese comma114er in-structing ms men, translating the instructions to Jtiis American buddies.
The Japanese tried to crash the defense square three times, hiting first on one ^ide and then the other. Each attack was preceded by a command in Japanese, and each time the Nisei warned where to expect action. The1* attacks continued for four hours. At dawn, help came to the Americans and the Japanese fled, leaving 30 dead.

(This is ihe 9lh and concluding j LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Fail-senes of weekly articles based ure t〇 carry the laminated Iden-on survey opinions of 30 ^ New tific^fcn Cards obtainable at the York City Japanese Americans, j centers, or failure to show them yheそe arjicls 义ill giye the m- v〇iuntariiy to prospective em-.^seif opinions on pi〇yers is creating needless hazel) Whai kind of businesses an Issei should enter, (2) Helps

A number of the Issei business men and women have raised families in New York City, and their children have grown up and attended scliool there without experiencing any prejudice because of their Japanese ancestry.
Declaring that ‘‘New Yorkers are very broadminded and tolerant,Mr. Yamagucm, manager of the Ozone Park Nursery on Long Island, said that he and his family ‘Tiave never felt self-conscious about our ancestry,”
Edward V. Berman, the WRA relocation officer who conducted this survey summarized his conclusions as follows:
UI was impressed by the fact that all the businessmen interviewed and their families are prospering, and that they h^e bee^i able to carry on their activities in New York with little if any attention being paid to their Japanese ancestry. All of them wish to remain here and believe that metropolitan New York offers good opportunities for many of the people still m the centers. Every Issei to whom I spoke indicated his readiness to offer advice to newcomers and to help them make a successful adjustment here.
“What most impressed me was that the establishments and the homes of these business people are not concentrated in any one particular area. Some of the firms are located in the finest business sections of New York, such as Rockerfeller Center. Fifth Avenue, Broadway and Times Square. The homes of the busines^-men are also scattered throughout the metropolitan district in fine residential districts which are predominantly Caucasian.
ard to promote employment in Southern California, Li〇s Angeles Area Relocation Supervisor Paul G. Robertson reports.
Most employers, after interviewing a prospective employee go through the formality of checking by telephone to make sure the particular individual is cleared the army.
Tms holds true whether the employment interview is prompted by the applicant himself, or by a referral from the United States Employment Service.
Employers, realizing that returnees who have never lived in relocation centers are entering the hitherto closed costal area, and not understanding the full import of the Army Declaration of December 17, usually call the FBI or Army Intelligence, Robertson has learned.
Both of these agencies in turn refer them to the Los Angeles office of the Army^ Civil Affairs Division. This heightens confusion in the employer^ mind and may create further reluctance to extend employment.
Needless delays result, and it has been suggested to the area supervisor that they urge those returning not only to obtain and cari^y identification Cards, but to produce them voluntarily for the inspection of prospective employers*
Applications for these cards should be made at the center relocation offices.
uThe experiences of these Issei and their families indicates that in New York pergons of Japanese ancestry can become a part of the main stream of American life. The fact that in this district there are at least 100 successful businesses which are owned and operated by Issei between the ages of 35 and 70 is proof that metropolitan New York has accepted the Issei and will continue to do so.”

KNIGHT#S BEATEN BY RED SOX, 13-11
The fast crumbling Manza-knights nine suffered their third consecutive defeat at the hand of Red Sox last Sunday afternoon at the loca丄 diamond. The game was called off at the end of the seventh inning on account of the dust storm. At that time, the score stood 13-11 in favor of the Red Sox.
Red Sox pushed across the home plate five runs in second inning on four hits and four walks. One of the hit went for a four bagger by Fumio Takade over the leftfieldeir^ head. The Red Sox added five more runs in the third on one bingie and four bases on a ball. They tal-lied another i：urt in fourth to take an early lead but the Knights came back with a single run in second, two in third, and four more in fourth inning to cut down the lead. The score at the end of the fourth was 11-7 in favor of the red legged-nine. Red Sox tallied two more runs in the sixth on three hits to widen the lead by six runs.
In their half of the seventh, the Knights scored four runs on three singles to make the final score 13-11.
Benny .Yoshiwara, hard-hitting Red Sox batter, blasted out a neat three for four for the winner. Teammate Rocky Nakahara and Yas Tatsumi banded out two for three and two for four each. Hoss Nakata and Min Imai collected three for four and twb for three respectively for the losers.
Benny Yoshiwara and Isao Mi-ktiriya shared the pitching duty for the Bed Sox while Min Ko-saka and Kow Maruki chucked for the Knights.

NISEI ATHLETIC STAR IN FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL
Sammy Nakaso, formerly oi Alameda, California and the Topaz center, is maKing quite a name for himself at the Hill-house High school in New Haven, Con. stated the Minidoka Irregat-or.
Small But Mighty
Standing only a mere five feet one inch and weighing 135 lbs. he went for the high school football team and the coach almost discounted him for his size, but the determination and his skill at the game soon caught the coach’s eye. Finally, after an early season tragic death of the regular center, he made the varsity team. So jat 135 pounds played one of the most spectacular games that the New Havens high schools had ever seen. Defensively playing the position of the roaming center, he played a bang up game; but not satisfied with that, he established a near record for pass interceptions.
On All-Star Casaba Team
He .turned out for the - basketball team and from there on he went on to make the Connecti-

cut All-^tate basketball team. Even though handicapped by his height he proved to his coach that he could play a good ball handling game. Most of the team's high scorers depend on him to do most of the feeding. Hillhouse copped the league championship, then progressed to the regional title and subsequently to the New England basketball championship. The game was held in the famous Boston Gardens. Sammy wowed the crowd with his tricky ball handling arid ms grandstand demonstration' of driobling. He was soon acclaimed a sensation of the New England states and was the subject of many of the well known sports writers5 columns. Besides being choaen on the New England All-Star Team, he received similar laurels in every sectional league he participated m .
He will be turning out for baseball soon and no doubt will make a n'ame for himself there.

For nearly a week Manzanar^ population has been under 5000, As of midnight April 24,1945 the total remaining was 49ai and the trend continues downward.

Now more than 5000 have gone through the gates and returned to normal lives in normal communities. Tfliat they are happier in their new lives is reflected in letters from them and stories appearing in the Free Press,
Notification of the closing of Manzanar not later than January 2 next has increased the interest of center residents in Relocation.

PROOF OF NISEI LOYALTY SHOWN
CHICAGO, April14—That A-mericans of Japanese ancestry serving with the Pacific forces have proved their loyalty to the United States through heroism that has won the praise of all who have seen them in actipn is the message of Joe Rosenthal, Associated Press photographer whose photograph of U. S. Marines raising OJd Glory on Iwo Jima woti nationwide acclaim, brought back with him, according to Charles Gotthard, New York correspondent for the Clii-cago Tribune.
Rosenthal, whose daring in making the iiistoric picture, of the Marines raising ihe Stars and Sxnpes at the craier rim of Mount Suribachi after the bloody battle for the island caused Navy Secretary Forrestai to remark that Rosenthal was “a台 gallant as the men who raised the Flag,” told Gotthard:
^There are thousands of Japanese Americans in United States service in all theaters. All of those with whom X camex into contact are'anxious to prove their loyalty t othis country. • Often their anxiety is touching, for they volunteer for all sorts of dangerous missions.
“Many have paid with their lives, and many more have been wounded. They have done an outstanding job for the Allied cause and their heroism should be recognized. It has been recognized by the Marine command-ers wlfere I saw them in action at Guam, Pelelfu and Iwo,^ Rosenthal said in the interview.
^Usually they work with headquarters in serving as interpreters. Armed with hand grenades at entrance to Jap pillboxes or caves, they often convince the
enemy to surrender where American officers, lacking the proper diction of the Japanese lan-guage, would fail.
“They wqtk： so closd to the enemy on these missions that a-long with the danger of being killed by Japs, ^hey run the risk oi being shot, unintentionally, by our own Marines. From a distance itrs hard to tell them from the enemy. Their dungarees sdon become ragged m rough country and the similarity of their physical appearance makes their job that much tougher.”
Rosenthal said many of the Japanese Americans were in service in Europe and clamored for transfer to the Pacific .where, lent to the Marines,, their linguistic and other talents * could be put to better use. He said virtually all were serving with special units rather than with regular lighting units.
“And they get along fine with the Marines, who are pusning their way to Tokyo,” he added.
Rosenthal condemned isolated instanees of antagonism toward Japanese American fighting men by United States groups. He termed a “crying shame” the action by the Hood River, Oregon, American .Legion Ppst in removing the names of Japanese Americans from the city’s fionor roll，a move that also was condemned by the National Legion organization. The names later were restored.

Co-op Money Orders
Purely Personal
By Sue Kunilomi
One hundred thirty million people of the United States have returned to their complete jobs, heavy in heart and grim in determination to complete the unfinished task of our President Roosevelt. The shock of his death is still with us. It was President Truman’s speech thjit renewed our weakening assurance that this country in its great crisis will carry on.
The night when we heard the sickening news over the xadio we shook our heads. We could not believe it; we knew it was true ancj 1ve did'not want to believe it.
Our correspondent in Rome was awakened by an Ameri6an soldier a few minutes to midnight andt〇ld:‘‘TliePresidentisdead. I have been walking the streets because I don’t know what to do. Tell me，sir, what are we going to do?” This was the way the correspondent heard and he too, wondered what he was going to do.
I wish those of you in Man-zanar could have seen ttxe grief and the shock that took place of hope in the eyes of your fellow Americans. I wish that you could see the determination that now lines their faces as they rise a-bove the tragedy to keep on fighting. You would know then that this is the greatest country under the wide blue sky and the be^t you will know in one lifetime.
What are we going to do? WeJre going to move forward. There’s a war to be fought and won. There’s the peace to plan and enforce. The challenge of “Thy Will be Done” must be met. Americans, mindful of the responsibilities and proud of the heritage of a growing nation, will carry on • • •.

Although with a season record of seven wins and one loss against Hed Sox’s tliree wins and three defeats, 7-11 will be slightly favored over the^red-legged nine.
Red Sox will try to win this game with their batting power. With sluggers like Benny Yosh-iwara, Kane Ishino, Rumio Tak-ade, and Lanky KawStichi, Red Sox will give the opposing chuck-er quite a bit of trouble.
7-11 will attempt to match the Red Sox’s batting power with youth and speed, together with the pitching performances of their ace flinger, Tei]i Ohara.
Battery for the Red Sox will probablybefYoshiwaraandIsh-ino while Onara and Kusaba will make up the battery for 7-11’s.

Stolen bases, individually and by teams has finally been compiled from the official scorebook. Although we hold nothipg against those who kindly kept score at the games the Baseball Association should have designated on official scorekeeper; opinions differ with each as to hits, errors and in'the case of stolen bases. But wrong or right,'this is it:
Yogores and Manzaknights lead as a team with 14 each; Sears,11 and Red Sox and Solons 7 each.
Individually, the thing goes like tins:
Duke Murata, Nob Hino and Harry Nakata, 4 apiece; Mas Kusaba, T. Kuse, Y. Tatsumi, Kane Ishino and Kow Maruki, 3 each; C. Iwasaki, F. Takeuchi, S. Sek〇j Yukio Tatsumi and T. Makai, 2 each and, l each credited to J. Nakao, it. Marumoto, D. Ishino, S. Nomura, H. Ida, B. Yamane, F. Takade, R. Nakashima, M： Uragami, M. Murata, T. Shimizu, Y. Sawamura, 'K. Morita, V. Takahashi and K. Sakamoto.
There may liave been more than this but which were not recorded in the books and as far as we are concfemed this is the way it will stand.
Ralph Lazo
Many of you remember him. His presence m a relocation center caused quite a bit of comment in the Los Angeles papers prior to this induction into the Army.
He has .completed his basic in a California training camp and you will be interested to know that he is well and is stationed somewhere in the Philippines. He sends his regards to all.
Why don’t some of you write him, even if it is just to say “hello,” to let him know tljat you remember him? His address could be printed here but it would confuse more^ thsfn help so drop in at the Free Press for it, if you will.

RESETTLERS REQUESTED TO APPLY FOR LEAVES TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE
Due to increased demands made on the travel division of the Relocation office and on the welfare and finance divisions, it .will henceforth be necessary for the RelocatiQn office
to increase the period of time required to process applications for relocation, Relocation Program Officer Walter A. Heath repotts.
Heath stated that specifically,

Tanaka Joins Wacs
Persons wishing to make transportation arrangements should note that hereafter reservations on special buses will be taken in order of application.
When 30 people have signed up to leave on one bu: no waiting list will be kept for other people who would like to have gone on that bus. This means that the earlier people apply, the better their chances will be on obtaining reservations on the day they wish to leave.
Cancellations for bus trips will be extremely difficult to make because of the difficulty in obtaining later reservations. All people are, therefore, requested
to be sure that they have made a
final decision, both as to the date of their departure and the method of departure when they come t othe relocation office.
Heath stated that this change of policy is due to the fact that a nincreased number of residents are now signing up for relocation and that this is taking up the time of the relocation staff.
As time goes on and more residents relocat, the services which file Relocation office Will be able to render to the residents will be limited both inside and outside of the center.
Julie Tanaka, daughter of Mrs. Tsugino Tanaka, 12-2-1, who relocated to Des Moins, Iowa recen-tiy, has entered the WACS in Iowa, according to a statement by her younger sister, Mary Margaret, .Father Leo Steinbach of the Manzanar Catholic church reports.
Julie is the second member of the Tanaka family to offer her services to the United States. A brother, Hisao Martin, is now serving in the merchant marine.
Prior to the evacuation, the Ta ns&a family resided at 1621 West 37th street in Los Angeles.

Unemployment Problem
uFour million eight hundred thousand soldiers and workers will be freed from war activities within the next six pionths，” says J. A. Krug, United States War Production Board chief.
uOnly 1,300,000 of these will not be successful in finding employment again right away/* Krug goes on to say. It must be recognized that this in America is no serious unemployment situation.
On the other hand, it must be recognized tiiat for an un-. employed minority group against whom a certain amount of prejudice can be expected to continue, a serious situation is developing. Employed people in staple non-war businesses or industry have little chance of losing their jobs if they are average or above average workers regardless of their race.
The same persons, if unemployed, would have a hard time finding work ahead of discharged soldiers and war workers who are entitled to and who will get first preference.
The question which faces persons of Japanese ancestry is not wAether they can get_ out of centers by January■丄， 1946, but whether they can get out and become established ahead of returning soldiers and war workers. War industry cut backs have only begun，and already unemployment is beginning to develop in Detroit.
Making the pro Diem more difficult is the question of how long the Japanese war will continue. Subjected to daily bombings that are laying waste to cities, it is impossiole to judge how long Japan will choose to continue the war.
Perhaps tfiere was once reason for persons of Japanese ancestry to fear recognition on the outside. The only reasonable fear now is that they will not get out scx)n enough to find employment.—W.A.H.

8CKES SWINGS AGAINST 'BULLIES，
In ms recent column, uWin-chell Coast - To - Coast,which appears in the various newspapers throughout the country, Walter Winchell declared, ^Secretary Ickes has come out swinging a-gainst the West Coast bullies who have been terrorizing loyal Japanese Americans]. Every gooa A-merican joins in ms condemnation of those vicious poltroons. Many of the Nisei being attacked are the parents of Japanese American soldiers who are fighting and dying for America一 which is sometning their attackers aren’t doing. If those West Coast cowards are anxious to fight the Japanese—why don’t they enlist and shoulder a gun at Okinawa■—instead of blackjacking law abiding people?”

Mid-August Population—2202
<4By the middle of August, next, the remaining population of Manzanar will total 2200 persons, not enough to just-iry tKe occupation of more than twelve of the thirty^six blocks,said Project Director Ralph P. Merritt at the Block Managers Meeting recently, in Manzanar’s Town Hall.
This statement is no idle guess. Mr. Merritt backs it up with thought out figures and here is how he arrives at his conclusion. There are 4202 persons remaining in the Center as of June 18.
Of these 650 are members of families with one or more dependents. These will be taken care of under the Welfare Resettlement Plan and it is expected that before the yuadle of August they will have left Manzanar.
Another group, totaling 350 persons, represent those who are in need of temporary assistance to help them get started in the outside world. These cases are expected to be disposed of and out of the center early in August.
Records indicate that 400 people are leaving each month. That was the total departures in May and it appears that a similar numoex are leaving in June. While predictions for July run somewhat higher for* our purposes lets consider that 400 will leave in. that month too, ana 200 for the first half of August.
Add up the total departures are an even 2000. Subtracted from the total population of 4202 we have 2202 persons remaining at Manzanar on August 15.
This, points out Mr. Merritt, is not enough to justify occupancy of more than 12 blocks. Moving will be necessary for many residents and, as Mr. Merritt says, uIf you must move why not move to Los Angeles ?M
FORMER MANZANITE ENTERS LACC
A recent graduate of the Manzanar High School, Katsumi Michael Suzuki, who is now in Los Angeles, entered the JLos Angeles City College, according to an announcement from the WRA Office there.

Mary was attending Sacred Heart Academy while Mike was at Maryknoll Parochial School at the time of the evacuation.
This is MichaeFs first time a-way from Manzanar since the day
the Suzuki family came to Manzanar three years ago.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fu-kutaro Suzuki, and a younger sister, Angela,16, reside at 32-4-4 in Manzanar and hope to resettle in Los Angeles as soon as a house can be found.
Michael Suzuki^ older brother, Joseph,19, joined the army last November and is now at Fort Snelling, Minn.
Michael is 17 and passed the army specialized training test just before graduating. He speaks fondly of Manzanar High, but is “glad to be* in Los Angeles again.”
His interests are science and math.
After he completes the Los Angeles City College, he expect to enter the University of Southern California.
SIGHT SEEING
With Kob Sawamura
DENVER—There are supposed to be a lot of Japanese in this town and I see qizite a few riding around Denver. The town, however, is dominated by Mexicans. The Mexican kids of about 11 or 12 puff on cigarettes.
A lot of buildings (apartment houses) have been condemned and in places, tiiey’re tearing them down. The town itself is pretty big. Trees line the streets and look very nice at this time of the year. I do not notice much of a change since my last visit here in 1941.
The garage where Watt Watan-abe, a former Free Press worker, works does pretty good business. The boss® has a nice home and is nice to persons of Japanese ancestry.
.I was at the Rocky Shimpo bffice the day after Roy Takeno, former Free Press reports officer, returned from a trip to Washington, D. C. He flew to Washmgionfoyplaneandretur-ned by train. Roy is the manager of both the English and Japanese sections of the Rocky Shimpo.

(Continued from Page One)
Commenting on the closing of the two centrs by October 1,1945 Myer’s teletype declares m part:
^1 have been considering carefully for several weeks, with the 昇id of ky staff members in 'Washington, the administrative pro-blems created by our attmpt to continue operations Units 2 and 3 of the Colorado River Relocation Center and the Canal Unit of the Gila River Center should be cilosd to evacuee occupancy not later than October 1,1945. I have advised the project director of those centers accordingly. I am confident that during the next three months the admin-istrative staff at Colorado River and Gila River, with the cooperation of the vacuee committees, can work out the relocation plans with all the residents of the units to be closed；
“In working out a schedule, of closing the centers on successive dates, we will,〇f course, live up to our commitment to give 90 days advance notice to the residents before closing any center. We have interpreted that commitment to require us to give 90 dSys before closing Tj nits 2 and 3 at Poston and the Canal Unit at Gila. That is why we have announced that we shall close those units by. not later than October 1.

7000 PERSONS ON ARMY FREE LIST AT TULE
There are 7000 persons above ^ 4 years of age, both citizens and aliens at the Tule Lake, Calif., WRA Center who are on the army free list and therefore are eligible tb relocate anywhere in the country, Tule Lake Project Director Ray Best disclosed.
With the exception of 4300 children under 14 years of age, every Tulean is on the list or， another.
There are some on the army exclusion list who may resettle any place except on the West Coast. There are some on the ar-1 my stop list who are held for segregation and others are on the Department of Justice stop list, applicable only to aliens, who are subject to detention at the center.
The project director stated that a preliminary estimate show that a total of 14,800 adults and children are approved for relo-cation.
UAX the time of segregation, only a little less than 50 percent of Tule's population of 13,-000 elected to leave. Thus those, who segregated themselves merely by remaining in their Tule homes numbered more than three fourths as many as those who came to Tule Lake from all other centers comoined, under the regulations governing segregation, Ray Best said.
He continued:
i6And from all the other centers there was a percentage which came not because of disloyalty, but because of family loyalty dictated the preservation of the family gro.ups. Likewise many of those remaining in Tule Lake did so for the same reason. Thus a good proportion of Tule^s residents after segregation, when relocation was stopped, wore a band that was not real.
Best disclosed that among those present at Tule Lake today are some 600 former American soldiers, some of them embittered by the faet tnat they were honorably discharged from the army after Pearl Harbor for what has been reported to be ^the convenience bf the War Department/

Jobs For Evacuees Opened In Cannery
WATSONVILLE—Lauis Mar-in, head of the Fish. Cannery Workers Union at Monterey, states that close to 500 persons of Japanese ancestry are in good standing in the Monterey Cannery Union, according to a report from the WRA office in San Francisco.
Anticipating the return, of ev-aduee workers, Marin states that he has made a survey of the pos-usibiUty of their employment in the fishing industry, and that without a doubt, any and all of the former evacuees employed in the inaustry woula be welcomed back by the industry and by the union, should they desire to return in the coming season.
The cannerieg expect to start on August 1 and they generally run continuously lor six arid a half months. During the peak of the season, there is much overtime work. There are jods both on salary and piece work basis for both men and women.
Persons interested should bear in mind that they should return before August 1 to locate suitable housing. The housing situation in Monterey~like other West Coast cities一is critical. However, several places owned by evacuees in Monterey may be used if they are' made available. It is believed that housing may be secured if evacuees display suffleient interest at once.
APPROVES POLICY
SAN FRANCISCO—The mili-tary Order of the Purple Heart at its convention in San Luis O-bispo, recently announced its a-pproval of the governments policy of returning loyal Japanese Americans to California, the San Francisco Chronicle disclosed.

FRESNO—- Speaking at the Fresno State College commencement exercises, Dean Edwin JLee of the University of California at Los Angeles Department of Education declared that the return of the Nisei to the West Coast is one of the most complicated problems the youths of California will have to solve, the Los Angeles Times reports.
He also stated that the problems of the Nisei boys and girls who have been behind barbed wire fences and surrounded here and there by machine guns will be just as great.
Eva Robbins Returns Children to Guardian
Eva Robbins, superintendent of Children’s Village and Adele Moore, assistant superintendent of Children^ Village took Florence Niguma, George Inouye and Richard Inouye to San Jose and Oakland to return them to their guardians. Tlie children will be under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court of Alameda and Santa Clara county.
Mrs. Irene Vaughn is detailed to take cnarge of the Children^ Village until Adele Moore returns.
The whole insurance situation is “very touch improved” now， according to Edgar Bernhard, assistant solicitor in San Francisco in referring to evacuee insurance.
“I can now report that the whole situation is very much improved,” he said adding that “early in 1943, we went through a period when it was almost impossible to place any kind of insurance for evacuees.,>
uOut old standby, William Ke-mpenich, 444 California Street, San Francisco, has somehow wor^ ked it out so that he is once again able to place fire insurance on real or personal property owned by persons of Japanese descent on the same rates as on properly owned by anyone else.
uIn addition, with certain very substantial res.metions, automobile insurance of all kinds, including even liability insurance, may now be placed for evacuees. The first restriction is that of alien owners cannot be covered; only American citizens. Next, the insurance company has indicated that applications for certain lo^ calities—in wmch there seems to Other departures are Rokuro sKurihara of the eRd Sox Bees; “Hippo” Nagamine, who is temporarily on the “retired” list, playing for the Vanguards, Catching is a position which

requires not only big bodied players and other things, but real hard work and when you mention head work “Jug” Hatae is one of the tops. Hatae plays for the Vanguards and was erratic at the beginning but is now a very dependable performer. Also Hit Yasuda was a man of intelligence, who cavorted excellently for the Red Sox until his call for the army.
Catching for them now is Paul Osajima who replaces Hiro Tan-ioka..
For the Timber Babes, they •have lost the services of Haru Nojima and Yosh 0tsiika—both whom Manager Kosaka could re-政lly rely on. Shigeji Ituwahara has been added to the catching list recently.
Skippers have a real all around player in Fat Nakane who used to catch but had to switch to the hot corner d\ie to the vacancy left by the former guardian Baby Tani. Koji Iriye is do-ing a good fill in for the Skippers behind the plate.

Hots Rally Trips Lambda Nine 8-7
The fast improving Forget-Me-Nots, led by Fumi Maeda, came from behind to overcome their chief foe, the Lambda Nine, 8-7 in last Monday’s twilight game at the usual 1^-15 diamond.
Fumi Maeda, former ace chuc-ker of the disbanded Zephyrettes, turned m a four hitter but her wildness and a lack of support, aided by two timely hits, gave the Lambda Nine a six run lead in the nrst two stanzas. However the Nots’ pushed over four tallies in their first of the second to make the sqore to. only 6-4.
The Tashima-coachea lassies in the third but the Lambda^ added one als.o and at that point led 7-6. M. Hata started the fourth with a hit and after two outs C. Yamada brought her in with a timely hit to tie the knot once more 7 all.
In the sixth the Nots, shoved in the winning tally on a walk, hit and an error to eke out a close 2-7 win. Dorothy Shindo toiled for the losers and was touched for ten safeties.
Aya Nishi smacked a neat 3 for d and played brilliantly, covering the left field pastures.

Timbers Edge Sox
The strong, pennant contending Timber B'kbes pulled through a close 11-10 decision at the hand of the Red Sox Bees in a twelve inning overtime thriller last Saturday noon.
For a moment it looked as the Kane Ishino's fighting aggregation might of pulled a upset as they caught up in the seventh but failed to touch home no jnore after that.
The gam wnt into a deadlock after the seventh despite threat made by both teams. In the fatal twelfth the Red Sox foiled an opportunity when T. Hashimoto got up to second base with only-one out but the following batters failed to materialize a hit.
Timbers pushed in the winning run in the last of the twelfth. After T. Yamane whiffed, Y. Tsuda and T. Kawamoto both got on, T. Marumoto grounded out, but S. Saito was walked to load the sacks. N. Marumoto marked finis to the first overtime game played out . here as he singld bringing home Tsuda.

Jr. Maps Outslug Modernaires 16-14
In a slugfest game, which featured tnirty-one hits, the Jr. Maps outslugged the favored Modernaires outfit 16-14, Tuesday evening.
H. Hino was smacked in the early part of the game ^nd was relieved by C. Tashima in the top of the fifth. The Modernaire nine held a slim 7-6 margin at the end of the third but the disastrous fourth and fifth innings proved the downfall for them.
Afte rtwo outs were made, Mr. Sampson, P. Nail and B. Bocz-kiewicz came through with three straight homers to net them five runs in the fourth. In the fifth three more runs were brought in on three hits and an error, to make the score to 14-llr
B. Boczkiewicz walloped his second homer of the game to highlight the sixth. Modernaires started a late inning rally in the sixth, making three runs but in the filial stanza their rally fell short of two runs.
B. Gilky batted 4 for 5 including a circuit clout and B. Boczkiewicz swatted 4 for 6, two being homers, to lead th© Jr. Maps. C. Tasmma led her mates with her 3-5. TashimaJs hit also included a homer.
Behind the Plate
by Kappa-Head
Looking over the “B” league pitchers and catchers, we find plenty of good pitchers who can chuck with the best of them and catchers who can handle things skillfully with a “cool head.”
The Timber Babes and Skippers boasts one of the b,est hurl-ers in the league in Yosh Tsuda and Take Murata. As you probably know, the two aces hQoked up i a pitching toattle recently in which there were 33 KJs altogether. Murata emerged ^victorious in the air tight game, 6-2.
Tsuda displays a very fast ball with a sharp breaking curve that fools opposing batters often. Mu‘ rata also throws a nice side arm •hook which comes blazing in and is very hard to touch.
Vanguards and the Red Sox Bees have also good chuckers in Muts Kawamoto and Tak Tanioka, a recent find for the Red Sox. Kawamoto probably has one of the slowest balls in the league but shows very good control.
Tanioka, Who often relieves starter Ich Shishido, throws a fast ball while Shisnido has more things but lacks little control.
Other really worth considering is Tado Maumoto, a curve and、a speed ball specialist of the Timber Babes ••• rarin’ to get his call from Manager Min Ko-

Skippers has “PI” T«akeuchi ready to go if by any means st-arting pitcher Murata gets もired. Takeuchi is also a full game pitcher out has been laid on the shelf because of Murata^ brilliant pitcmng up to date. Chiaki Nakata is also on the pitching list.
Vanguards have Kiyomi Mi-zutani to get m to shut out the fire when Muts Kawamoto is r§ady for the showers.
Timber Babes had, and still about, the best chucking corps when they had four <able pitchers; two are remaining, Tsuda and Marumoto. Joe Ozaki and Haru Nojima were also on the starting call until their departures, b somewhat more vigerous opposition to the return of evacuees than elsewhere— will not be accepted. Finally, top limits are $2500 on property damage, $10,-000 to $20,000 on liability and there will be a premium surcharge. On that portion of the premium which represents automobile, fire and theft insurance, the increase will be 100 per cent, on that portion which represents public liability, the increase will be 50 per cent.
“The company is the. Fireman^ Fund Insurance Company. Simultaneously with the mention of this company, a letter was received from an insurance agent in Los Angeles which mentioned the same company. The same limitations were given.”
