"by a family corporation lessor in ordei1 for ia挪bers of the corporation
to liv© in the prop©i*ty, with th.© Legal Division of the OPA* If ©vie-tlon proceedings are necessary the OPA suggests that an application for an eviction c©rtifica1;© b© fiX©d witli the local OPA area r©fffe director, giving a full statement of the facts. If we understand the facts correctly, it is likely that the OPA office will issue a certificate without the necessity of a transfer of title to individtiaX zaemibers of the corporation* The office here did not recall any cases exactly like the K. Muto & Sons situation, but stated that cases of residence property owned by cooperative corporations had come up and OPA had ruled that the corporation wa s entitled to an eviction certificate in order for members of the corporation in tli© property. The iastant case would not seem to b© ©ssontially different from tlie OooperatiTB eases.

Dear ii；d
This is my report for the period beginning January SO and ending February 5*
During the period we wrote ninetsen letters* X wrote you separately about losses of personal property between ©vacua-tiojDL and delivery to the owner in th@
E, .We devoted a great deal of time to assisting exoludees in tfai© ■preparation of	to "b8 submitliQd to	Goiamaiidiiig
Gejaeral* s reprasentativos• Xu all wo had SQVdJEity-two interviews with evacuee clients. Thirty-one oonoerned excludees and other problems relating to Proolamation El, eight Eoatters involved taxation, sevon real and personal property, five insurance, four a6pandents, allowances, three social security, three claims for money due, and the other interviews involved domestio relations, birth certificates, and miscellaneous matters. We assisted in twenty-one matters requiring notarial services.
X worked closely with the administration on the problems of aaLcluded parsons, and advised in a eouplQ of matters involving minors in the Children^ Village*	^
3拳 Otto Rossmaa of Business j^ixterprises arrived last/with Mr* Wolter ana with Mr# Derriokson of Helooatton. Karl Brooks is here now for a short stay*
The principal problems relating to the Co-op are the accounts for rental of buildings and automotive equipment and plans for ultimate liquidation*
Manzanar differs frjm some other centers because^tlier© is no practicable way in whioh residents of Manzanar Gan personally
Mr, Mwin iii. Bergason Page Z
obtain their needs from stores in near by towns. Bisliop is fifty milas aistant, Lone Pine is eleven milas, and Indepenaenc© i日 five miles away. Bishop is the largsst of the tiir6Q, none of these towns coaid supply any substantial part of the needs of the pQODl© here* More important tb.aii that, howsver, is the laclc of adequate transportation facilities. There are only two buses a day each way. These basas are Inter-urban carriers running from Ij〇s AngQlQs to Reno, and tiioy aro alinosl* invariably loaded to capacity. At the most, probably, not over two or thrae people oould hope to go to town on the bus in any one day, and onco thay had arrived in town they would have to wait aix or oigat laours to ivaturxu Under all of th8 oiroumstanoes, under proisct regulations, no short term laave will be given to towns in Owons Valley. It will* Uherafore, be necessary to arrange ^or oofititiuQd servio© .■froai 1>h© Co-op until thQ OQnter oIosqs# Purflhasos can be made in town, of course, lay	phoned orders
for deliveries, but that lias always bQ8G true and probably oaimot Is© much expanded*
We hope, tiaerefora, that a way will ba found to oontinu® th@ services oi* the Co-op to tiio lastV ,po.日日ibi©..
4,	Up to this tim© the peopl© in i^anisanar have made no arrangements to send any delegates to the all center conference on relocation problems and I thinls: that no delegates will be sent until the purposes of th@ conference are made very clear.
Indications we have so far are that tねg conference will b© concerned not bd much, with facilitating relocation as with passing resolutions against the closing of tliQ centers# Some such proposed resolutions hava already been ciroalatea here•
5.	Duration lease© on property in California have come to my attention in two or three instances, and X presume that there are iiiany such, loases* I hs^vQ boon racicing my iDTEin trying to •think of aome way of avoiding such leasaa, but any ingenuity I may have seems to be at a very low ebfe. I suppose tne question may be stated in this way: Where, after the outbreak of war with Japan, a citizen of Japanese ancestry has been excluded with all other persons of similar anoestry from California, and sach exclusion is afterwards revoked, may he than rescind a lease executed by him at tb.8 time of his axclusion, wiiicfaL provided that its term should be for the duration of the war with Japan?
Where suoh a property owner was adult and compQt^jat ana where the language of the leasQ is Glear and undaratjandable, X can think of no basis for other than f^egatiY^ answer • May I have your viowst
Mr* i^dwin ii)« Fergus on Page 3
6， On February on© 3hiro Kino ^ot into a row with the manager of hi a b：1003c, Mr. Iahilcawa. The dispute oonoerned some thixigs wtiich Kino claimed he had lost, and for which he held Mr. Ishikawa responsible# Baring Kino^ absence on seasonal furlough, Ishikawa,had, in the presence of three witnesses, moved Uno1s things to a different apartment. When Kino returned he found some of Ms thing日 missing• The dispute had continued several moxitlas ana reached a climax last Friday when Kino resorted to battery in -an effort to prove his poi4t. Ishifeawa was pretty badly beaten around the head, and Kino was takan into custody. On Monday Kino was taken into the Justice^ Court in lone Pine. He pla^S guilty and received a sentence of ninety days with sixty days suspended for a period of one year*s probation,
7 • We are continuing *bo assist in the preparation of written statements for men who wish to appeal for reoonstderation
of thsir 0xclusion ordQr• The program is working out very w©llf and I thinlc that th8 work b811ig done is of a high order*
In my opinion these	日日 iaould’ be of great assistance
to the Army in arriving at proper decisions in each case,
I assume that ©vary effort has been made to give tiie Army informatilOjCi	argusiQnt to psrsuado it noti to pursue a courss of
action whicia will pile up aiffioalties for	the Department
of Jastice* and the Army itself. I am not persu秦みed, however, tliat suoh effort have had any effect, and X oan only assume that th8 attiituds of the .array is th.8 jfamiXlar on© that uw© hav© be811 running 1iMs army for 175 years and we know how to do things with-out any suggestions from civiliansn. I tiiinic eventually thero is going to be a lot of bacic "brackiiig* Tla© offeot will ba unfor-tunat© so far as many individuals ara conoarned, but in addition to that it seems to m© to be a matter of serious oojacdm to
丄 suggest that it is a fair estimate to say that the ralocation plans of four other people are tied in wiAh the future of every man on Ihe exclusion or detention list, and that the attitude麴 of many other people are involved• It would be helpful if we knew something definitef but so far we are complately in the dark as to the future program.
It is very Qmbarrassing to me when a man comes in and says• Why am I excluded?エ（3叫 only answer that the Army has so de"ber-mined. H© then asks what he can a〇 about it • I tell him that he oan file an appeal， and that X will assist lai瓜 in th© preparation of a written statement of bis position* He then as^s when he will have a hearing.1 tall him X don't know. He asks what the procedure will be* .1 tell iiim I don*t Jcnow.. Ha as^;s what he can do if the deoision on an appeal for adverse* I tell him
Tours very truly,

X don* t 3010w. He aslcs if lie can leave the oanter now to go east.1 tell him that for thQ present he cannot. He asks if that means that he will be detained or segregated indafmitely or for the 4uratt〇J3.« I tell hiM I don^ icnow* He asics biq wh©ja his status will be definitely known, X tell tiim I don*4 loiow*
H© aslcs why he is pro sent ly ddtaindCl* I tdll hiia X donft icnow except that the Army will not give him a travel permit from Manzanar to Keno ana will not permit him to leave the oent«r,
but that I don*t Jmow the reason except that they have apparently
detarmined at least tentatively that he is a pro liable danger to the internal security of the nation* Ha aska on what that determination is oased, and what are tha charges against him. I tell him I a on* t know* Such, questions may be maltiplied and varied in ©very oas©, but say answer always has to be finally that I <ion,1* ICBOw any niora about it that what it says ob b.is exclusion noticQ and wh©a h© points out that iiis qxg!tision jfiotigq s&js nothing about aetontion, i have no answer.

Dear Ed:
This will fee report for th窃 period begirming ary 6 and ending )PebTU?a*y 12*
X. O.ther Letters: During the	l wi»ote 7〇u eeparat^ly
about the Co-op application for	tax exemption and. kbout
far w.F.A. rasrei?*
?. Statist lost w« continued to worlf. during the ^eek in cooperation with the Project Pirester on statements of cxeludeeo In support of their apnlleationf! for reconsideration.
I consulted 冒ith th© Project rector and the Helocatlon Offlo#, during the week, Qnprofclenss/sriaing froiBtherpvocationpro-claffifttlon and from the Avmj lists of excludeea. I also advised mesiberf* of the ataff on questions of* n筏turaliEation and other questions Involving minor mattara, and worked on uniform ratings aa a 瑁费抜わ枝!* of tha Sffieienoy Hating Committee• During the week we had one hundred Inteirrie東s with evaouee clients and gave notarial assistance in thirty_8!3c other letters. Thirty-fl^re interviews conctrned problems arising out of Prnolam^tlon Ho, 21,and cshlefly canoemad oasao of excludee?? an蟧 detalneest twenty-five interviews	tax problems, chiefly of th@
income tax variety, sd^en 对蜱re on isiscjfilX戴neotjm matters, j?lx concerned r^al and perisonv^l property otters, fotjr olaiisB for money due, thr#^ prob^t#i and guardiansMp matters, three birth certificates and other ^Ital statist Ian	two dffnendante*

tjriation acts, the civilian exclusion orders, executive °^©r No* 9423, the Secretary of the Interior^ ^inl®trat^v® °^®rs
D?；ector o?Vr?A： whlchhwerS〇at leastUa plausibly authoritative basis for continuing the exclusion of all Pfr®0^8 Japanese ancestry. This authority was n^^rePudia^d^?1 ^ Sndo case, although I should say that neither wafi It In Its final effect in either the Endo case or the K〇r©siat8«
case.
The lifting of the ^neral exclusion broke this p&per chain of general futhority, but beyond	1^?fs l^yme
to destroy and denyt as of the present	^ if
basis for continuing exclusion except
Indeed, such continuing： eatolusion can he Ju#tiflea aj to » citizen at all.I don^t want to too much	^
an attempt to support my leap to my neft^2int,^ \lunation to me that before the Kndo decision anJ.be^°^e^h®
proclaraatlon, an exiluded person who	hlllnl tl
was at least initially In the position apprently of having to
claim and prove that he among the ®x®luaedN^r®2n® to ®e aividually a proper objeot of exclusion. Now It
that the Apmy or other excluding authority is in t せ]^032
atjDarently of initially having to elala and prove that dlVldual exclude© Is individually ^ proper	f
and that failure to excluae hi® would probably result In mm to the country ot daaage to the war effort*
There are very few exclusion oases in this center where the Army would have even a plausible baa Is	B^ea
claim in good falthrp and fewer still where it ^di3^na^® lal to make out the weakest kind of a prima facie case upon a Qf the issue. If the Army*s present exclusion prog:酽 is c2n_
°Jnuel 1?1； my judgment tha? some of
trial, and X see no escape from the proposition ^
would have to prove its case by a preponderance of the evidenc
at least. It may be within the	^at
to aecide upon mass evacuation and exclusion In	^a^eat
haびand as I ufiderst^id the ド，ば:% =
decision so made❾an呼be qu，巧〇,产ヤ=だぶ that discretion, but I think that it Is a	8^^8^8-
where the exclusion is individual and	?；〇
piolon and generalized conclusion cannot then be eno ^ .

3. £祕』基•血益 MroM^鍾(a) I appreciate your detailed letter of January 31 in annwer to my report of January 11.With rtsp*ic5t to my Item 2 In that report 9 Adminstra-tiv© oe 207 Game to my attention soon aft#*r I had written ®y letter you. It	to ise that report should renonably
be had fir at to the ^ocal authorities in all casepr. %e district Attorney，and the Sheriff her© are very cooperative * perhaps espeoially no because the people in this center have set guch a remarkably good record during1 the period of almost three yearg of eenteip* s existence. There ha a been v^ry little trouble he;re» an<S it has toe®ri n©<3©i!台to ask for help froia the local authorities in very few oajaes. Oonaequantly they do not feel over burdened or lmpotad ur>on when an ocoa-slonal cage mrlBep In which oriMln^l action seams to be ne-cessary* I think thiit w© will株Iway® b© 魏bl© to handle problems of a crlrnin^l nature in the state courts. The only exception to that be In traffic cases, since the streets in the eenter cmnnot be 锷Aid to be	o:r public thorough^
fares. I think that traffic control oan fee mairit技ined by the Project director* as th^ hon^ of all eaiployees on the center, but th !t 穴uc;li ac七ion netd not foe of even a quaptt er1■和irml nature.
(b) I cui?段：fmid that th^ difficulty th^t I have in understanding the pr#f?ent gtnte of thimi：f* In not cnupletely el eared ud bj Item 5 of yow r#»ply t〇 ®y January 11 reoort.
Tbe whole thing no far a?? individual ©^olyslon and individual

sharper nor than It was early in «X«muary and more © fleelion simse then has csonspelled 班© to poise eanolusione fro® which 3〇 far I cannot escape.
First of all,I see no bat?is what©vei* for 義ny detention now toy the Army an蠖 if the Ar班y has any	段；Ining power れ〇寶》
I umst aay that it hne no faelrual basils for exercising it, so far a好 ray ob筠ervation goes. In one oase out of fifty where it ha a been exerol#?#d. I am very troubled by this situation, and エ don*t believe th篯t 3t oould n?®e l^nf?uag« too strong If I wure adequately to express my vl^ws. However, I a〇n*t ^ant to make & brief out of thjig letter, but only to put <i〇wn a few pertinent points.

Mr. Edwin S. f*ergti8〇n Page 4
My own opinion' no^» inold<tntallythr>.t Individual exclusion by the Army cannot be supported» but the point I trying to make is thst if It r.an euprjDrteS it	be only
In Individual caser?	the evidence	by n clear
perpondorimoa th t exclusion war?	to protect the
nation, the Man^anar ^xolur?lon oases are typical， the Army could n^t i^how thnt, if at all9 In imra thr^n thR tlnl^^t fraction of th分 e?rclualon <s«^en•
.* K〇r as? to detention; I undar^tand that every man on the present detention ll^t Is an American. oiti^<»n and wh.?it I psay as to detention, of cour-s^, applies only to American citiplnce there no question but th*-it the United States throuirh itr* duly ajjthorl^ad officers <xay detain any alien enemy.Incidentally, rhfi.t I have said above about excluders I mean to apply only to Aaerlcan citizens, Binoe I t弦ke	that If th^ Government can In*
tern an alien enemy, it may also, by appropriate 段otjion, reetrlot Mai a a it eees fit, and the only qu^^tlon as to the exclusion of an alien 寶cvuld be ，heth#r the «xaiud.tnfit agency proper*! y authorized to take &\w,h motion. So far as •之羚n穹 are coneerneci I o&n see no	窃in	for oletlmirif? theす-the	has ainy
power of detention, or th^t any othar authority has 55uch power except \>y ^a.y of Imposing oonfineaent as a punl^h^^nt for oi?isse aft#r .irullot^ent,	and {sronviction, or pending trial, In
default of ball,I ais beginn^iig to suspect more and ®ore that th© Army itself has Uttie confide^oe that 11;sisch pownr.
It	to me that the Army program points to
delay, finally to th© point ^her^ It 貧！111 turn o^/er to the
Department of Justice a list of citizens who It things should
be detained with the statere^nt that:	ar^ nr>w your babies
If I can .giaes«5 at the attitude of th， Department of
from the record of Its 辟ml o,ttitude bo far In this conflictf
I think th^t It a answer will bej sRight baek you. You ept
yourself into thl« situation. You can ir«t yotaraelf o\it of lt,#
And th# detention projrram for cltl.E«?ng would be bln^n sky hiisli*
This woul<3 all b« none of my buslne^B except てfs It is the btJSlnasB of any citizen, w^re It not for the fact that R.A. seeffip to to Involved in It too muoh for comfort* I 浼涊 sorry th^it it apparently ^ras not possible to my to the Army **W0 have no power of attention and, ineldentally, wq think you hav9 none. If your* propose to d矜t矜in ar^ dtireng you	have to do
It yourself from start to finish* w« will hav# nothing to do
with notifying th内s or r©释tr&inirw, tii«斑• We will refuse no page

Let me relat# an Incident whloh happen«#l here the other day;	000rge Nishisuitra had orders to report on February 1窆 nt
Mr. Edwin E. Ferguson Page 5
Fort Douglas for active <?uty with the Army, want to the bus in the company of seven other people, and after the bus had gone> the W.P. Sergeamt began to think that there had been eight people at the buB, but that he had	clearance for
only seven* Without consulting anyone, he jumped in his Jeep and went after the bus, overtaking it near Big Fine, some thirty-five Killes north of here. Mlsbimura showed hi® his order to
report, but nevertheless h© brought Nighiffiur孩 back here arid "there着
by iUshimura wag delayed until the next bug, fourteen hours later. It happens that Niahimura arrived at Fort Douglas on time anyway.i w〇n*t elaborate on the incident, because the implications are obvious and the possibilities mxmeroua, but one interesting possibility would have been If Klsnimura had reported late and bail found himself thrown in the brig for being* AWOL* I should	^iat the Commanding Officer at
Fort Douglas tnlprht have raided quite at howl in his demand to know what the 300al m detachment thought it was doing in arrestlne： and detaihins? one of bis mart traveling on military orders•
(e)孙lie we are etill fttmblinp around hoping that some-thing will happen very aoon to olear up this whole situation, we are goln«? ahe^d on our proprsro of p-lvlng* a«(?iBtande to those #3ccludee8 who ask for it. W0 interested, of course, primarily in the oltizene, most of wno® are on the detainee list although few of th«m know it up to date. I think that the stateffientn which there m^n «re prep^rinr with outr help tell a story Thich may help to reserve the situetlcm ねere If it not
resolved generally before the Army Bo裔rd arrives* ?e understsnd that the Army	whan It oam®s, ^ill come empowered to act,
and armed with all nf the evidence whthh has been considered.
We hope	they will onme soon and Aet promptiy.
(d) I Just iBentiqned th« fact that most of the men do not know that they ar© on a detainee? list* Some, of cour^a» ha,v® tilled ta leave and have been told (by W.H.A. and not by the Armyf I a® sorry to Bay) that they cannot leave. These men, of course, o&n gue&s that they must be listed as (leta.inees and otn^re ffltist have gotten some su$rsre«ti〇n of the situation fro® thero but until two days ago, we were not authorised to tell each man on the list what his statuslis. Since that authority came from the Director, we have not told each mant partly becaus合す，hope the	will oha.nga before it becomes ireparative to tell
everyone•
X oarm〇U over eiaphasize the harmful effeots that this detention and exclusion policy hag had> Darttoularly because it has ooincided with the announcement that the centers will be closed and with the r©**empha^i? on relocation. It has (?isconraired and upset the men theai^felves and their families and has also confused many who are not directly affected. I wonder, incidentally, what
Mr* Edwin S, Ferguson Page 6
the «ffeet has been upon relatives of the men In the service*
It eieenii? to be the general rule that the citizen exolud«« is the only one of his family in that status. His parents ustuilly are cleared and his brothers and Bigtars usually are cleared. Many of these men have brothers in the Army. I doubt If knowledge of «*hat the Army Is doing In these caees is oaloulatea to en-oourage and inspire such a soldier*
4*	Cloelngr of the Hohoolei I hav© Just read a
copy of the Biemorsndua of understanding between the Galifornia jachool authorities and the	%>parently the ©isphasls was
placed upon proposed legislation, which ha^	been obtained,
for the creation of a apeclal <5〇hool di«triet for Manxanar and another on«	Laka# This mecioraiKlu® mnk&B very clear,
however, that the atate recognizee It 鑼 pr»1jBai*y t*08150risilbUity for the education of children In th^ center®. The schools here will close Kay 31» and the Indications ar^ that next fall th^re will still be a very substantial nuaber of children her©. The
law in C寂lifornla requires that parentg keep tth©ir* children
in school	pi'ovid©!? ptmi尽haspnt for those p秩rents	fail to
do so* Do we hav# any assurance that parents who are living In Hanzanar next fall may keep th«ir children out of school without risking proeecution an<? punishment ^ If bo, upon what theory and If hot, where ehall tl^©y	that铲 011 iidrent
local public schools are certainly not equipped or	to
receive more than a few additlormlpupIXs and if they 寶ere， there would be a serloug transportation problem to solve.

Edgar Benihurd Assistant Solicitor
Manzanar Relocation Center Manzanar. California February 23# 1945
VIA AIR MAIL
Mr# Edwin 2. Ferguson 301101tor
War Relocation Authority 722 Barr Building Washington 25, D.CU
Dear £d:
This will be my report for the period beginning February 13 and ending February 19*
1« Other Lettered During the week I wrote you to inquire whether or not Japan will accept on exoJiange, any native of the United States who has not renounced his American citizenship* and to Inquire what acts done outside of Japan will effect a cancellation of Japanese citizenship under Japanese law* I wrote separately to Sdgar for information about church tax exemptions.
2.	Statistics: During the week we continued to work on excludees* appeal statements• I conferred with the Welfare Department Sohool Laws* on the relinquishment of children for adoption and on the relocation of minors. I conferred with the Relocation Section on PMQ- clearances for Tooele* and I discussed two or three matters with the Svaouee Property Officer,
During the week we had fifty-five Interviews with evacuee clients and gave notarial assistance in sixteen other matters* Sixteen of the intervie冒s concerned problems arising from the revocation px*001amatlon and were mostly with excluded persons, fourteen concerned tax questions and returns, six real and pei*-son&l property, four insurance# three dependents* allowances, tliree miscelianeous matters, two oontraots and legal documents> two domestio relationsy and one each on a claim for moaey due# arlc Immigration bond9 repatriation, release from parole, and renun-elation of Japanese cltlsenshlp/
Mr. Edwin £• Ferguson Page 2
3* Visitors: Mrs. McCord was here during the week, and Mr# Runcorn of the Business Enterprises Section oame link day or two ago. Miss Slinor Moorehouse of the Helooation Section Is here and from general observation in the dining room there appear to be somewhere between five and fifty other paratroopers in the Center, So far I have had no contact with them*
4* Cooperative Snterprlsea! I have carried on some ooorespondence for the last couple of months to arrange for counsel in the Faye Watanabe case* Mr., Walk referred me to Mr* Fleischer, and Mr* Flelshher has now reviewed the case and has made a definite proposal of representation. The Go-op Board of Directors is considering the matter, and will let me know soon whether or not they wish to go ahead. Mr.
Flgischer*s proposal is to handle the matter on the basis of
a ¢150 retainer and a percentage of all amounts collected*
The Co-op is. of course, to advance costs and expenses in_ eluding such expenses of investigation as may be necessary to find Miss Watanabe.
I have not been able to get the Maryland Casualty Company to reduce its minimum premiujn on the workmens 1 compensation policy. My brother in Los Angeles got a oomrait-ment from another company to write a policy on the basis of a minimum annual wage per employee of $750 Instead of the $1500 basis on which the Maryland policy is written. However short terra cancellation on the Maryland policy requires ?。方 of the annual premium for cancellation after six months, and the Cooperative people figure that there would be no saving to cancel tliat policy now and write a new one on the lower basis• When the present policy expires, It can be replaced by a new policy on the lower basis*
The Co-op has been declaring refunds on the tot<^al amount of its sa'vlngs and holding back a reserve of of each member's share. When a member has withdrawn, his share of this reserve has been returned to him. I have advised that 10涔 of the aavings should be set aside to the reserve before any refunds are allocated to the members, and that no refunds should be made from the reserve until final liquidation.
5* Post SxoXuslon Situations I wi»ote you separately since the week ended about the PMO rejection of five men who made applications for T〇〇ele and who were considered by those who 3tn〇w them here to be surely entitled to work there or in any other place so far aa their characters and records are concerned. I mentioned specifically one man who worked in this office for a long time# Another of these men had
Mr. Edwin S* ^erguson
worked here for a considerable period before I oame here# Another one was Frank Yasuda who is the Secretary of the Block Managers* Assembly, Executive Secretary of the Co-op, and Executive Secretary of the CACA# Mr. Yasuda attended the 3an Francisoo meeting in January, and you may have seen some reference to him in the accounts of that meeting.
I am also Informed that one of the residents who applied for worlc as a draftsman with one of the aircraft companies in Los Angeles as been rejected, and that a question has been raised by the Provost Marshal General about the employment of on© of the men who went down to work with Dr• Emerson at Cal Tech on the gxiayule experimentation project*
Thin含s like "this I think have a very positive effect toward retarding general relocation, and particularly toward retarding the return of people here to their homes In Califs oornia. Additional discouraging things are the reports of the outrages In Fresno and indications that the people will have difficulty In getting insurance in California or that their existing insurance policies may be cancelled.
Overshadowing all of these negative thing?? Is the Army1 s exolusloii and detention policy whloh continues materially to affect directly or indirectly probably 2^000 residents of the center. An 〇f these things, of course, Including the exclusion and detention policy, negatively affect the confidence and ambition of many people who are not directly affected «lther Individually or through their relatives and family members.
X have previously rather vigorously expressed my views on this Army policy and I do not think that there Is much to be added except periodically to emphasize the harm that it is doing In Its effect and the additional harm that is effected by the uncertainty as to Just what the Army*s policy and program is, and the delay in consumatlng whatever that pi^ogram may be*
^here are here a very substantial number of welfare problems—-the aged, the 111, the incompetent, and the impoverished. Many of these people are also affected by the Army1s exclusion and detention policyt so that a count of the two groups separately would not necessarily equal In sum the
▲
Mr. Edwin • Ferguson Page 4
total number of people here who are deterred by definite obstacles from effecting early relocation.エ doubt;, however, if there are more than a thousand people here who can be classified as available for immediate relocation before either the exclusion or the welfare proble斑s of them or of theii* family members are solved*

This iiri.ll reply to yotir rsport of February 23 and will ackaowledge your letter of February 19 om the 〇3?diB&ace depot elearamces and your letter of February 20 oa the applicatio»s of evacuees to 3?etura to Hawaii.

Evea If th© Ooopera-tiT® had aectismlated greater tliaa tlie 30 percent of the paid-up shAres, as required by law, it Trould otiTlously be wise aot to isak© refimds from reserve in the fao© of inmiaeat liquidatioa*
3.	We hare dlsoussed the situation of the Provost Marshal Generalfs Office 2?ejectioa of ordiaaaee depot workers, about which you wrote in your letter of yebmiapy 19 a&d ia item 51 with tlie lelocatiom Birisioa* They are fully awre of the imsatlsfaotoiy situatioa created by such rejoctioas as you meatioa aad have made repeated aad persistent efforts to prefix upoa the B®K) to reconsider the decisioas ia soise of these

The Ordiuaace people are wiHliig, as you pol&t out, to accept ceater residents oa the same b&sls as aay otlier persoas, buttiis does aot alter tlie situatiom witli respect to PH0O eiearaace*

Dear Ed:
pile will be my report for the period beginning March 13 ana ending «ar@h 261 I have been devoting quite a bit of time during the last week or two to meetings of the Sffioiency Rating 〇omiflittee» The business in the offloehas been auoh the same き1沒Ithsugii, 'of course，1/fc has D8en qtiieti.er sine® Maroh Id* The only thing of general interest that I think of la the review of some of the exclusion orders• I will, therefore* confine my report to some comments on that.
《3*)	Hearings: The Army Review Board arrived here
だ Sun巧y， Mareh 18， and it has bee$n in session everyd&y since
then. They had Issued notices to only five men and they set only one hearing for ea〇h day. As I understand it they have
left now to review their 冒ork and to formulate their pian for
future hearings. Apparently this session was soaewhat experimental and e^loratory*
We were fortunate that Henry Tsurutanl happened to come in on Monday and be©斑e Interested in appearing as eounsel in the hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday* Sl%e no one but the exclude© and his eounsel and witneises were permitted t❹ be present, we have had to depend upon second hand statements of what went on and It was, therefore interesting to ug to hear Henry*s reactions*
The Board i8 ©oiaposea of a full Colonel, three Lt* Colonels and a Haand they hive five enlisted 斑en as stenographers and officers of the court* They took over the Project flireotor*8 office and arranged tables for the Board and the clerks in quite a formal fashion so that the exoltidee eat in the center of a rather august looking assemblage and was the focal point of ten pairs of eyes*

I understand that a man who has a deferred. Glassification card more than six months1 old, op a 3*»A card of any aga, is likely to be held, for investigation by peace of fleers throughout the country* Could someone in Washington initiate iriatruotions through the Califomia Headquarters to the Local Boards that thaf should reclassify on men of Japanese ancestry who hav* Glassifications othar than	4-0, or 4-F?
*7* ^TwaIv© men left her© on ^prll 26 for pr@-Induction Anj〇r Physicals in Los Angeles# On May 1st, twelve men who were members of the Snlisted Reserve left for Port Douglas to report for active duty*

T?his will reply to yoiar report of Hay 4^
1* I am sending a copy of item 4 on short-term leaves to exoln^ de©s to the Dir«ctor and to Rex !L©e，
2* X believe that most of your questions on draft classifications are answ®r©d in. a portion of a letter dated April 24 from tb.© CsXifornia State Directoi* of Selective Service to fh# Assistant Direetoi% the partinewit；
parts are as followsr
"grit is not true that evory registrant mast hare ia his possession a Notice of Classification (DSS Form 57) whidh is less than six months old. It Is true that certain classifications (XI*A, II-B, II-O) cannot be granted for more than six montlis at a tiioe* If a regiatfant; ia carry， ing a Notice of Classification in Class II-A, II-B or H-C which is more than six montlis old there would b« aoaa qtiestlon as to whether he had kept in touch with his local boards Likewise some question would ordinarily arise wh«re he had a I-A classification card which was mor« tlian six months old, since registrants ordinarily do not remain in Class I-A for as long aa six montlis before being either inducted or rejected*
«H〇w®ver, where a registrant Is classified in Class	17-0>
IV-B, Xf-a, IXI-D, I-C, or IT-F, Ills local board would ordinarily have no occasion to reclassify him or issue him a new Notic® of Classified; ion unless there was a change in Regulations or a di aoge in the circtaastaaces of Ms cas® which would require such action* There are many thousands of registrants in the State of California who are in perfectly good stand-ing witli th®ir local boards and who are carrying notices of Glassification wiiicli are nmeli sior© 亡11&11 six jaoirtha old* Some of these notices are several years old and it is eatirely possible that a man might have a classification card issiaad as early as Hovember 1940,iwhich 180uld still be perfectly valid,w
Cioples of this letter have bean sent to all Project Directors and you may have seen it by this tima. As you indicate, however,	classifications
should have been changed before this* If you have specific cases that are not answered by the letter quoted, send m@ the faets, naius, local boaM, present classification, etc., aad the office here can check Mth Selective SerTice Headquarters*

Mr. BJdwin S. Ferguson Solicitor
War Relocation Authority 722 Barr Building Washington 25t D. Cf
Dear Ed:
This will be ay report for th© period beginning Hay 1# J 1945> and ending on May 28t 1945.
During this period I have written to you about vai»ioua matters# Including th© Social Security question in the oaee of T-keyoehl Arikawa, the stamp tax on the Co-op Membership Certificates* and the new Selective Service questionnaire. During the period we have had 160 Interviews with evacuee clients, and we have given notarial assistance In 76 other cases• Six of the Interviews concerned domestic relations,
4 Selective Service, 5 taxation» 5 insurance,17 r«?al and personal property, 7 foreign fundg control,1,a bank account withdrawal,SI5 claims for money dde, 2 Social Security, 3 alien registration,13 release from parole,10 repatriation,
3	Immigration and deportation problems,1,a family allowance,
4	misoellaneous, and 5B problems of excludeee and detainees.
wrote 148 letters &nd merooranda and t>repare<3 14 affidavits and other doouments* The attachments 冒111 follow by ordJLnury mall* As usual X think they pretty wall outline the work that we have been doing* There seera to have been no problems which obviously require reference to yout and therr have been no unusual speciflo problems which would be of general interest.
Mr. Provln«e was her© for a short time and Dr* Pressman has been here twice, Miss Oertrude 谀2ol was here briefly as were Mr• Dirrlcksont of th© Relocation Staff, and Mr* James of Internal Security. I have seen other visitors going in and out but I did not meet them. I will answer y6ur letter of May 16 separately at the first opportunity.
(l)Since Debeiaber 17 the major portion of the work of this offioe has been concerned with th© problems of the exeludees and detainees here, and the period of the Iasi fowhas been no exception, You will fiad among the attachmente a nurober of letters to the Commanding General> written for men in this
Mr. Edwin S. Ferguson

June 1» 1945
group• During the first four months after the revocation was announced, we assisted in the preparation of 斑ore than 89 appeal statements. Some of these were sent by mail to the Commanding General but 斑ost of them were held here for presentation to the Board of Officers* In some of these oases the merger© cleared without a hearing, and the etatements were never used* Lately I have b^en writing letters for them to mail at once to the Commanding General,
In some oases the men have been cleared after the letters were written without a hearing, but I oan-nct know whether or not either the statements or the letters do any good* I think that the first objectire In suoh cases should be a clarification of the Important facts* This should be sou^it by thfs Army and should In most oases be an advantage to the exclude©♦
I have tited to encourage the to write their own letters but I have had no success at all in this. Ap-purently the great majority need «L«fsistano# either 3Ln clarifying their ideas or in presenting their Ideas and the other facte of their oases、 It seems that we can do no less than give the® this type of aselstanoe. Naturally I feeithimrtedandoftendia-eouraged "because I carmot know what are the oharges a^alnat the menf what are the Issuest or what is the effect of what I do#
Colonal Smith was the Chairman of the Board which was here last week* He Indicated that the state-mentis presented by the men 曹ere obviously the work of 8〇ia6〇ne else» and that h# thought that they had little or no value* This oould be said about pleadings filed in any court and could be said arbout most d8p〇8lti&ns« My view 3Ls that a aworn written statement should be accepted as evidence and should be a valuable si8 >or cross exaffiination in order* that the Board aie*ht get at all of the facts in the case.
It seems to me that It should have probative vahe even though it may concedediy have been prepared by someone other than the respondent, unless the
st;atenientJs made tJherrein are corvtrsidieted ox* iffip©aclidd
by cross examination of the respondent or by other evidence intooduced at the hearing. If one of these exolusion cases should be reviewed by a court on th© record^ I am sure that a sworn written
Mr. Edwin £• Ferguson Page 3

statement would be given suoh effect* If the Armj
寶ere properly advised，I thinlc it 寶ouldl give & 理irom
8tatem@ntsuoh6ff6〇t*
So far» the exolueion orders as to detainees have been oonflrmed in only two oases* Th❶8❼技r# th# cages of Tom Takamatsu and Victor Bhlgeyoshi Xnouye* There ax*e several oases already heard as to which there has been no notice of the decisions.
Changes on the lists continue to ooa© through every few days* Many of the changes made are fro® List 3 to L»ig1:6• So斑© are fro® List 3 to L隻81; 4• and odoaslonally a roan im changed fro® some other Hat ^0	31* 3 #
The Board has so far iset here on four oooaelons* Colonel Lincoln was the chairman at the first three sees ions t and Colonel Smith was the ohalman at the fourth session. In a previous report# I told you about the first &ee ion $ and I belleva that I hare also described the proo®edlngs In the session whtoh began on i|>ril10. Five men w#re heard during the week of May 9* One of these isfin was a Y〇ghio Mura* matsu9 ooneernin客1rho取 I spoke to Mj% Myer and of whom I have previously written to you. Huraisa^u has always been on List 4f but everyone here ie particularly Interested In hi® because of hie military
as a volunteer，and becau癟e of his e段rnetst»
ness and sincerity. A decision In his case has not yet been given. It rill be a great dleappointaent if his exoluBlon le oonflra#d»

oouraging, but oTrvlouely the task ahead Is a big one. School will close this week, and the expectation Is that there will be a very substantial	\
exodus during the next; three months. The deterrant ! faotors which come most often to my attention are the exclusion and detention lists» the parole si- ^ tuation9 and the bad reports from many of the west coast areas* So far I hava heard nothing of any real substance unfavorable to Los Angeles or to th* Metropolitan centers» except the fact that housing opportunities are often not available to evaouees except in domestic workf gardenlngt similar lines* A good proportion of the people come from the cities, but there are many of them who oame from farms and truck gardens. The reports from the rural areas> particularly in the S&n Joaqutn Valley, are certainly most discouraging, and I think that they tend to discourage people from returning to rural areas ©ven in southern California. No one can fairly feel anything but disgust 窥nd so取 e if ox* boding when he reads about such a thing as the Doi verdict and the ridiculous sentence given the man who pleaded guilty to firing shots Into an evaou«e*e home. Personally I think that th©x*e is some fine talk coming from	California offioi&ls who
hare not intention of really doing anything about the situation until they are forced into It*
If it is possible to circulate K©nt*s report on the Dol oase among the project attorneys, I should be very Interested to read It*
One of the prize quotations to oo®e out of Galifornia recently I think is the statement made	Dis-
triet Attorney of Fresno County that there ape two reasons for the acts of violence to returning evacuees. This might be paraphrased accurately as folio胃sj that thei*© are two classes of people responsible for shoot-ings, those who do the shooting and those who think that there should be no shooting.
(4) My brother in 3-os Angeles has written soma fire Insurance on property owned by people ol*. Japanese ancestry > and in several oases he has written such Insurance where it had been refused by some oosrpanies.

him through Mexico to Japan. In 1914 he returned alone on a Japanese passport* He went back to Japan In 1919 and again in 1924, each time 〇|i a Japanese passport* His school record indicates that he was born in Japan, and no record to th© contrary was made until the eiracuatlon. Not until 1939, when his father retxirned to ^apan, was Haeda told that he actually was bom in the United Spates* Under an attorney^ advice he reglstored as an alien in 1940, eichiblted his Japanese passport, and apparently was registered as having been born In Japan. H© registered as an alien enemy In 1942, and at that time stated that he was bom In California* Ho reoord of his birth w 8 made at the time. The house in which he was born is gone. His parents are both in Japan, and wbvionsly there Is only a remote possibility of finding witnesses who can testify to the fact of Ms birth In this country.
Since his parnets are In Japan, he Intends to visit there after the war, and he would of course be much better off If he could travel on an American passport, I see nothing which could be done for hlm> except by means of a petition to establish the fact of hie birth In California. There Is quite a bit of evidence against Ms claim and practically none available In support of it.

UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTEHIOR
Manzanar Relocation Center Manzanar, California
This will be my report for the period beginning June 26 and ending July 2.
During this period エ conferred with the Evacuee Property Officer, members of the Relocation staff, members of the Welfare staff, and the HosDital administrator, and with the project administration. We had 41 interviews with evacuee clients and gave notarial assistance in 24 matters* Seven of the interviews concerned ex'clu日ion appeals,. 6. canoellations of repatriation requests, 7 real or personal property, 5001aims
foi* money or prop.erty? 3 'pa.roleベ.releases'，' 2 aiien registration,
one each, a power of attorney, insurance, social security, foreign funds control, and a dependent1s allowance, and 6 miscellaneous matters. We prepared 3 documents and wrote 28 letters.
(1)The Army board, consisting of a full colonel and 4 lieutenant colonels, arrived here on the 27th and began its hearings on the following day. Twelve cases are scheduled to be heard every week day, and two oases will be heard on each Friday, so that the sessions of the Board will continue through Thursday, July 12.
There are now fewer than 100 men still listed as detainees. In only one case is a man still detained after his hearing upon a confirmation of his exclusion order, but there are several others as to which no decision has yet *been received.
The screening, of cases by the Army withoutthea^ngs is prodeding with' fair'Bpeed, Quite a nHmber of men have been changed to Step 4 from Step 3. Others have been changed to
Mr. Edwin Ferguson July 6,1945 i^age 2
step 6 from either SteD 3 or Step 4. I have'no doubt but that eventually all named on Step 3 will receive eastern clearance at least, unless there are renumciations of citizenship. However, it seem.v«5 to me that this necessarily invetable out-com6 could. 8.s well li&ve b66D ifci〇6d. oy the Ariny in t;lie first! place. The work of this office with excludees has taken a great d^al of time. I cannot fenow whether or not it has done any good, but at 1east changes have followed.
Mr. Rothstein will be her4 soon to conduct hearings in
tire .cases, of’7 ■〇6〇.pILe who. have	for renupoi技tion.of
their citizenship/1 It is a satisfaction to report that these cases have not been more numerous and apparently have not been contagious.
(2)	We had a meeting yesterday about the disposal of papers and procedure foF sendiil^ files in t;o Washington* Th© Statistician, Mrs. Heath, hopes to have 100 cases a day processed until the backlog has been taken care of. I do not see how I can avoid personally examining each file before it is turned over to her since there may be papers of value to the client or Incompl&ted matter? in the file.

feeing very appropriate and very necessary* There are many people in Manzanar ^ao have claims of substantial size against this bank and even a dividend now would heXp tkeia a ^rest% deal.
In June• I reported that our population, including those on short term leave, was 4679 as of Ifeiy	Otii* popul压tlon a_g
of July 2?Is 4032. There has been a net f^ain then of 647 people In 57 days and It is obvious that the job remaining Is a big one and that the movement will have to become very fast In order for us to get the Jote done by Deeembdr 1* There seems to be some promise now that the log jam of the welfare oases is beginning to be broken ana there is weekly Improvement in the transfer of 进en from Step 3 to either Step 4 or Step 6.
My optImism will Increase if there is evidence of increased cooperation from the army, the Department of Justice,^ the 0PAf 成； the Department of Agriculture, ana other government agencies.
8* Hr. Tothsteln was here on July 9 to Interview people|who had applied for renunciation of American citizenship. I under-stand that he approved six applications and that he disapproTed the application of onelman who stated that he had decided to withdraw l^ls application. That man was In this iBorning to tell me that h摩 waited to file again and that his 曹ife was go又hg *to file also. 2Phese people have four Amerioan-toorn ohildren, the oldest of which is 10 years old* I am not inclined to debate with a single man or woman who has made up his mind to renounce his；citizenship but I dan see tfwt there are going to toe difficult p3?obleias for somebody td handle when ths time Gomes fop the deportation of renunoiators w|i〇 have minor Amerloan-born children,	"f	r
A three-man army board, headed by Colonel Lincoln, arrived here Wednesday and began hearings that afte noon*1 Ten oases are on its oaiendar. Seven of these men are Allens.
We were told several months ago that the cases of citizens
would be heiipd first and that they wotild be heard in order of their appll©aMons< There are still a number of cltlaene here who	111 malting for hearings and some of them applied
before the men who were heard here at the last session and before the citizens who are being heard in this session.
